Used to rehearsal next door to these guys back in 1979. Damn they were good!
Got the record and it's hanging on my wall!!!
No. 1, 2, 5 and 7 were my favourite songs!
The solos in 5 and 7 are outstanding!!!!
Love the way they swicth between the two guitarists!

Udover Mercyful Fate, var der andet tungmetal i Danmark i den periode? Artillery kom til lidt senere, men det var vel ret fattigt ud over de to?
+Hr. Kontrolminister Har ingen anelse. Lyttede hverken til MF eller Artillery. Jeg kastede mig over den britiske heavy rock som Saxon, Judas Pries og Iron Maiden i stedet for.
Javel, gik bare ud fra at du også var til MF, da det nærmest er fortsættelsen af Brats.
Being a lifelong King Diamond and Mercyful Fate fan I could hear Denner and Sherman guitar work on any artists album... You can here Mercyful Fate all day long on these guitar riffs
Foreals
King diamond...Jesus...
Sounds like the couldnt decide if they wanted to be punk or heavy metal so did both. Great stuff! Love punk that breaks the mold!
I was heavily into Mercyful Fate in the mid 80's & a friend got me this bootleg tape; it's still one of my favorite records some 35 years later 😎
This is awesome for a punk tape. I prefer Melissa and Don't fear the Oath but this album is awesome!
@@biffbutkus8185 I "fear" you got one word wrong there.... ;-) :D
These guys played at my dad's restaurant in hoboken back in the 80s. I still have the original flyer promoting the show.
You mean HOBOKEN NJ !? Which restaurant was this !? I grew up in HOBOKEN !
That was the NY band The Brats with Rick Rivets.
@@misterslats are you saying maybe different band?
@@misterslats the year and style of poster is similar to this
@@ItsMeHammie What year was the show cuz the Danish Brats were broken up by the end of 1980. Hank had already moved on to Mercyful Fate by 81.
One of my favorite albums of all time. It’s the perfect blend of everything I like about music: the rawness of punk, thrusting rock and roll riffing, tasteful guitar lead-work, passionate vocals, and heavy metal sensibilities. Even some ooos from the doo wop days of yore. Bloody perfect!
One of the best hard rock albums ever. Period.
This record is really cool and I listen to it a lot but I wouldn't put it in a hard rock class.
BRATS :
- Hank Shermann (chitarra)
- Michael Denner (chitarra)
- Yenz Leonhardt (voce, basso)
- Lars Nybo Monroe (batteria, tastiere)
Wikipedia lists the name Jens Arnsted for bass and vocals on this album but it seems to be the same guy.
No King Diamond?
King didn't join until '81 after this record, which is hard to believe as it sounds like him doing the backing vocals on oy-905.
The vocalist on this record, Yenz Leonhardt, went on to do bass for Iron Savior and Stormwarrior.
I really love the vocalist.
@@gregoryleonard1098 Nope
@@Heatfarmer Yes, is him.
Such a great voice.
@@gregoryleonard1098 No, not in this record
Yenz played bass and vocals www.metal-archives.com/artists/Yenz_Leonhardt/22804
The perfect marriage of Punk Energy, and Metal Power!
Como los discos de Michael graves con los misfits no? La distorsión fuerte con la energía del punk
they are def-in-ite-ly fuckin'!
I've been trying to put those words together my whole life
There's no metal in this
@@sofiadionisio7587 si lo hay.
Complex and Heavy Rocker........the twin solos blows me away each time!
🤘WOW Incredible album🤘1st time i hear this band🤘
Glad I stumbled across this. Great album.
Mantap lagu2nya....👍🏻🤘🏻🔥💥
Thank you for this :)
what a huge and so underrated band.
Never gets old...EVER!!!
Wow! This is awesome!
The incomparable riffs of Sherman and Denner. Now these tunes just need King on vocals and Satanic/Occultism-themed lyrical content and we're in business.
We got that 3 years later
Love it!!!!
catchy bass, love this record!
Really impressed with this album, especially for something that's 35 years old.
Paz Binv1 Most great rock music is 25-50 years old,what's the surprise in that?
🤣🤣 that dont mean shit
Why on earth would the age matter at all?
I was around in the 80s and was a teenager and let me tell you, music was really good then, even what you heard on the radio was really good then. The pop songs they played on the radio were 200 times better than anything that wins grammy awards now. There were hard rock stations in every major city that cranked out Ratt, Motley Crue, Dokken, Ozzy, Van Halen and tons more. This album is awesome and never knew it existed until U tube. I guess U tube has a purpose.
@@DM12128 Production quality mainly. It sounds fantastic for its age
If the Damned played metal instead of punk = The Brats.
The songs on The Lost Tapes are full-on raw punk (before Brats became a sort of punk/hard rock/metal hybrid here) and remind me a lot of early Damned.
@@metamorphicblood Is that hard to find?
@@misterslats It’s on UA-cam, and there are physical copies being sold on eBay.
Heavy Rocker reminds me Witchfinder General.
The first time I heard this album, it made me think of a punk version of Angel Witch. Yenz's vocals sounded a bit like Kevin Heybourne to me. There's definitely a slight resemblance to Zeeb Parkes of Witchfinder General too, though... Brats were a bit heavier than either of those bands, I'd say.
Heavy Rocker is what I wish AC/DC sounded like.
Wonderful hard rock/metal album from 1980. I was expecting nothing from this. I thought they started in a punk band, but this rocks and the vocals are great. Very unlike Mercyful Fate and closer to the NWOBHM. Although I should say that King Diamond is a fantastic voice/writer, but with much darker visions. He's underrated this is underrated with a different voice. Brilliant album and expensive too the only one I know of for sale is huge money. I love Fate, Mercyful Fate, and now I've discovered Brats!
Benjamin Blake Mitchner Brats did start out as a punk band (watch?v=_fxosV6qTAw). Frankly the whole NWOBHM thing as obviously heavily punk influenced - I think only one as stubborn as Steve Harris would deny that, even after having based the early maiden business model on punk/diy values and naming their label after a punk label :-)
Anyway, the punk and metal scenes in Denmark in the late 70's/early 80's where not so adversarial as they are traditionally presented to have been in the UK, so bands moved back and forth between them. This is still mostly the case.
Hanuman Ares Also I guess Tank would be a good example of a British band moving back and forth between punk and metal. Brats are definitely not unique in that respect.
Hanuman Ares Tank that's a good example yes. Sort of a hybrid of both is how I feel about them.
King Diamond kick that shittest vocals!!!!!!!
@@hanumanares2020 Exactly. You'd have to be deaf not to hear the punk influence in the recordings of most of those NWOBHM bands from '79-'82. Shorter, faster, stripped down, and much more raw than metal had been before (with the exception of Motorhead, who were obviously a huge influence on NWOBHM). Even the look at that time - ripped jeans, black leather jackets, spiked wristbands... that came directly from the original punk movement. Steve Harris can be as revisionist as he wants, but every time I listen to that first Maiden album I can totally hear the punk influence. Especially the song "Sanctuary". Before the mid 80's, punks and metalheads clashed with each other. At least they did here in America where I'm from. Neither side wanted to admit that they liked each other's bands, but I can tell you as someone who stood on the punk side of the fence in those early 80's days that I had a fairly large section of my record collection that included Iron Maiden, Saxon, Venom, Mercyful Fate, Raven, Judas Priest, Accept, and several other metal bands... and I met metalheads who owned records from Sex Pistols, Damned, Dead Boys, Ramones, the Clash, Dead Kennedys, etc. Of course at the time I never would have admitted to anyone that I actually liked those records, and the funny thing is that later on I found out that many of my friends in the punk scene also secretly owned and listened to many of those same records.
Looking back on it today, it all just seems so absurd and silly. I really don't know why the punks and the metalheads all hated each other so much in those days. I think it had more to do with hair than it did music or attitude. Us punks viewed long hair as a thing of the past, a hippie thing... and we really got hung up on that. Once the thrash bands started cropping up in the mid 80's and all of a sudden you had metal bands covering punk songs, and punk bands covering metal songs... the lines of division started blurring and fading away. I was never really into the hyper-fast thrash bands. My thing was more like first generation 70's punk, early 70's proto-punk (Stooges, MC5, Dictators), and the very early hardcore bands like DOA, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, TSOL, Minor Threat, etc... but I at least understood why the crossover/thrash scene had to happen. All that cross-pollination had to amount to something.
Anyway, it sounds like you Danes were way ahead of the curve on these things. Us yanks are a stubborn, pigheaded lot.
WTF THIS IS INCREDIBLE! THIS IS LIKE THE RAMONES ON ROIDS!
Hell Yeah!
Thanks for a so rarest album awesome sound classic album from fienest Thanks Stay care by bro nice time by thomy
Super Legends!!!!
Reminds me of Ramones. Fantastic energy. Love it!
Hard to believe there was such a good band like this in Denmark in 1980. Just fantastic!
Influences in NWOBHM with punk rock backgrounds.
Somebody knew somebody and got a few lucky breaks and got it out there
At the time Dennes and Shermann already showed that they weren't for fun
Accepted is the Best ever Brats number - so Much
energy!
Great album!!
Sounds to me weirdly like the first Kiss album, except this has better musicianship overall. The early Kiss influence is obvious on some of the riffs, and the overall feel, That will also explain where King Diamond REALLY got the makeup idea,
The Dictators first LP will go perfect after this!!
this is way better than i was expecting it to be
Track #5 is beautiful.
michael monroe from hanoi rocks claimed that guns ' n roses had cloned hanoi rocks a lot , well to me much more aerosmith , but as a matter of fact hanoi rocks were for sure huge THE BRATS fans , and hellyeah i really understand why !!!
Great album
EXCELLENT
Absolutely Awesome
Love that little bit of the Kiss Parasite riff in Tame Me.
Sounds quite NWoBHMish, reminds me a bit of Tank. Cool stuff.
This was Mercyful Fate pre-King Diamond!!
@@Lunacyk This band was very talented even pre King Diamond.
@@biffbutkus8185 Fuck YES they were! We played them a lot at my job! I always enjoyed it! Just didn't know it was the precursor to Mercyful Fate.
This releasing year,1980,was very important.
The lead singer,Yens,who later formed the band called =Y=,once told me while he was in =Y= that Lars from Metallica was in the front row at their show of Brats and made noise.
This band is the history.
wow that’s so interesting! do you have any idea what year that show was? or around what year
@@mj-gl1cf Lars crossed the ocean in 1980 to the states when he was 17 yrs,to become a professional tennis player(Wikipedia says so),so it had to be somewhen around 1979.
Both Shermann and Denner were in this band at once,though,it sounded very punkish and this had to be from Yenz's flesh and blood if you heard bands like Geisha and =Y=.
@@rockrabbitt ahh I see thank you!
great heavy album simply a top band !!
Love it.
Heavy Metal or Punk?
Don't matter, good Rock'n'Roll.
Faster and loud.
WAY TO GO, MATE 🤘🏻
This is punk with 2 very good guitarist so in a way it is its own genre
thanx for the upload ,,,this ones not cheap on Ebay,,, IF you can find it,,,,,,wish these guys would`ve stayed together ,,unfortunately it was so far ahead of its time the record company didnt know how to market it ,,poor sales and expectations pretty much killed this line up,,,A true hidden gem to say the least......and definately deserves a reissue
mickton shrimpton im a musician and this is absolutely a gem. I love it
Well it is here on youtube and that is good enough for me. LOL
I like this.
Roots of Mercyful Fate ♥
Disco foda pra caralho
it really kicks your ass , to the max !!!
Cool punk/early metal 🤘
Holy crap
Yeah,with both Yens and Hank!
Yeah !!! Thanks Sascha!!! 🐢🚬🙉🙈🙊🐓
Esto está muy bueno
Awesome nwobhm. 👌🏽
This album is as good as anything else punk was putting out at that time! For real!
Fuck yeah!!!
My mate showed me this album in college today and it was fucking headbang heaven OMMGGGGGG!!
Esto en la actualidad es indie rock con garage 👍
👍🏻👍🏻
The Roots of Mercyful Fate
( together with Black Rose )
I really love this Album , in some
songs you can still hear the Punk
that the Brats come from , they
were a pure Punk band before they
decided to get a second guitarist
(Denner) and play a more harder music!
So this is actually a Heavy/Punk record
but you can say "1980 Brats" was one
of if not the first Heavy Metal record
from Denmark!
You can sometimes already hear the congenial interplay between Hank and Michael that will make them famous
one day , that make them the Masters
of Evil!
I think this CD belongs in every
reasonable Rock collection , its a
must have!
How do you get your post to format like that. Just curious. Not disagreeing with anything you are saying here.
I ❤️ am a big Mercyful Fate and King Diamond fan and I think I have one cool The Brats LP..This LP at first listen it sounds amazing!!! But I have my music chain Hi-Fi broken to play LPs,cassettes or CDs
King diamond wasn't in the brats if I remember correct.he was in black rose_brainstorm and another band. this was Hank Sherman and Micheal denners first band before fate actually
King Diamond joined for this demo Brats - CBS Demo - Copenhagen 1981/01/18
It seems he joined after they made this album.
Although that does sound suspiciously like something off a Mercyful Fate intro/interlude, complete with King Diamond vocals, at 35:19
King Diamond sounds like he is in this band without the black metal singing but you are correct. He did not join until after this album was released according to media sources.
@@pietrayday9915 Maybe he really was the singer and they hid him until the release of the first Mercyful Fate album. Wouldn't surprise me.
Tame Me sounds a bit Motorhead inspired
This album is fukn incredible
This album should be sent in space so aliens can spare us
so killer! finally got my hands on an original CBS scandinavia copy of the original LP after a 5+ year search. side note, the earliest documentation of black metal riffing @ 4:34?
How much did you pay ?
Good ear, man. To think that "Tame Me (Insomniac)" might have spawned Snorre's Grymyrk and more...
Well, Hank Sherman & Michael Denner went on to form Mercyful Fate with King Diamond shortly after this, so...
There are ways to get this without getting ripped off. Do some research
@@distortiontildeafness it was a gift from my girlfriend & came from the personal collection of a dude from a well-known indie rock label. he had 2 copies of it & sold one to her. it's in unbelievably nice VG+/VG+ condition. i also bought a gray 2019 reissue on high roller records to play at DJ gigs & what not.
The intro to 'Pinned on my eyelids' definitely sounds like Mercyful Fate
Wow just learned about these guys. It's like the band the ramones were supposed to be before Tommy muscled his pillhead friend Joey into the group.
Dudes's whole channels rips.
🍺🍺🍺
Astounding music. Very much into NWOBHM, with punk attitude. Yet sounds fresh today.
Who is NWOBHM?
Never mind, just found out.
This is not NWOBHM! This is a punk rock band that had 2 very talented guitarists and showcased it in their music which is unusual for punk music. They went on to form Merciful Fate, a heavy metal/black metal band when they added King Diamond as lead singer.
@@biffbutkus8185 of course not, Danish band. Punk, yes, mostly because of the vocals and some rhythm. But the guitars variance with complex riffs and plenty of wild guitar solos have nothing to do with punk, only heard in uk bands at that time. Those fantastic twin guitars became a landmark in heavy metal history, it didn't come from nothing. No question about that. Cheers man.
Complex (Don't Destroy Me) ... is awesome
haha b brains lyrics are so raw "STAB ME!"
bommmmmmmmmm
This is awesome. It would be interesting to hear a remix of it. But this might hold up better.
Brats .... Not to be confused with "The Brats"
And before everyone there was the fantastic Glam band Hollywood Brats
when Sherman and denner met king - a marriage made in hell
I wonder what their follow up album the year after would be called...
Punk Fashion sounds like Motorhead.
Das the point 🎉
look 4 Black Rose another band King Diamond was in
Ciao!!!
Hp que buena banda. Ya rato que no la escuchaba
Fuck I love this album.. any one of these songs come up in shuffle I am so content
before Mercyful Fate
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW GOOD KING DIAMOND
No King Diamond in this recording of 1980. King Diamond would join the band at the end of 1980, and he did the vocals for the demo released by Bratts in early 1981. Then they change name to Merciful Fate.
I am a big fan of Mercyful Fate and King Diamond and I have another The Brats LPL0
Punk Fashion is such a good song! ANd it lasts less than 2 minutes, haha typical for punk songs
I had to turn down the offer to play drums for them because my birth wasn't scheduled for another six years. True story.
Jameson Raid on steroids!😁🤟🛠️
Great album, band influenced by the NWOBHM
Not really. This is a heavy/punk band and nothing more. Listen to early NWOBHM and find the correlation. Not being a Dick.
🇧🇷
Sounds like Iggy Pop 5 ft 1
Zombie People reminds me of Detroit Rock City.
The solo's even sound like a more technical/fast, Ace Frehley.
Fucking killer
Zombie people :::)
King Diamond would later join this band.
Right? This is not King Diamond singing.
@@EveLynBigfoot
Apparently he joined after they recorded this album.
When I was a teenager I read about Brats, and thought “Wow, King was in a punk band?! I need to hear that!” That wasn’t exactly true, since when King joined Brats he said he would only be in the band if they dropped the punk and went completely metal. I was a little bummed to never hear King Diamond going off in a punk band, but still, this stuff is great.
Vim seco achando que era o Brats de NY que abriu o primeiro show do Kiss (e foi pago pelo próprio Kiss) kkk
Michael denner is on vocals on this record.
Michael Denner was in the band, but it was bassist Yenz Leonhardt singing.
non male
30:15 is that King Diamond?
+PansBox11 No, Yenz is doing the singing.
His spirit saw his future guitar players.

Do you have some FLAC of this? Please, don't make me beg you
