Hands of a Traitor have opened up for legends like Doro Pesch. While many metal bands have to wait until they’re adults in order to accomplish such a feat, HOAT is comprised entirely of high school sophomores.

HOAT reflect on how they got their start playing music, why they have become successful, and their upcoming concept series.
