Initially formed in 1977, Brats started as a punk rock band, reflecting the raw energy and rebellious spirit of the punk movement that was sweeping across Europe at the time. As the band evolved, Brats began incorporating more heavy metal elements into their music, blending the aggressive attitude of punk with the powerful riffs and darker themes of heavy metal. This transition marked a significant shift in their sound and laid the foundation for what would eventually become the iconic Mercyful Fate. Key members of Brats, including guitarist Hank Shermann and bassist/vocalist Michael Denner, would later go on to form Mercyful Fate along with the enigmatic vocalist King Diamond. The music of Brats, especially in their later stages, showcased the early development of the sound that would characterize Mercyful Fate: dark, complex, and intense, with a blend of punk's raw energy and metal's power. DiscographyBrats released a self-titled album in 1980, which displayed their transition from punk to a more metal-oriented sound. While the album didn't achieve mainstream success, it has since become a cult favorite among fans of early heavy metal and punk. LegacyBrats are often remembered more for what they led to rather than their own music, as they were a crucial stepping stone in the formation of Mercyful Fate, one of the most influential bands in heavy metal history. The members' shift from punk to metal within Brats was a key moment in the evolution of the European heavy metal scene, particularly in the development of the more theatrical and dark subgenres.
