WATCH: Video of toddler in thrash metal circle pit goes viral
He joined the pit during Atrophy's set at Maryland Deathfest
An incredible video of a three-year-old boy in a death metal circle pit has gone viral.
The toddler joined the pit during thrash metallers Atrophy’s set at Maryland Deathfest in Baltimore on Saturday afternoon (28th May).
With the sounds of Atrophy’s 1988 anthem Socialized Hate blasting from the main stage, the boy is seen running around the pit with a smile across his face.
At the time of writing, the video has already been viewed more than 300,000 times on Facebook and 30,000 on YouTube.
Atrophy themselves have launched an appeal to identify the boy so they can give him some merchandise.
They wrote on their page: “Please spread this post to all of your friends. Who's child is this? We would like to give this young thrasher his very own atrophy tee shirt and some autographed pictures! If anybody could get us in contact with his parents.”
A separate video of the boy pitting to Impaled Nazarene has also been posted online. Despite falling over in the clip, the boy gets up and carries on like a true metalhead.
