Japanese heavy metal group, BABYMETAL, unveils their latest album titled "METAL FORTH"
BABYMETAL, the unique Japanese trio that has taken the world by storm with their captivating blend of heavy metal and J-Pop elements, is preparing for their first arena tour in Europe and the UK. The tour, scheduled for May 2025, is part of the BABYMETAL WORLD TOUR 2025-2026 Summer Tour.
The band's success story is notable due to their distinctive style, which sets them apart from other bands. Their shows, including the O2 in London, are already sold out, demonstrating the immense popularity of this innovative group.
BABYMETAL's unique style is characterized by dynamic dance performances, catchy pop melodies, and aggressive metal instrumentation. This fusion of dance, pop, and metal is a key element of their success. The band's shows are known for their energy and spectacle, with each member—SU-METAL (Vocals, Dance), MOAMETAL (Scream, Dance), and MOMOMETAL (Scream, Dance)—delivering electrifying performances.
The band's latest album, "METAL GALAXY", released on August 8th, masterfully blends metal with modern influences. On this album, BABYMETAL collaborated with a host of talented artists, including Electric Callboy, Tom Morello, Poppy, Spiritbox, Bloodywood, Polyphia, and Slaughter to Prevail.
Following the successful release of their concept album "THE OTHER ONE" and the collaborative song "Kingslayer ft. BABYMETAL" with Bring Me The Horizon, the band is poised for a spectacular tour.
The tour will see BABYMETAL joining Sabaton and Lordi for their upcoming UK and European tour during this period. Key confirmed dates include a show on May 19, 2025, at Tauron Arena in Krakow, Poland, and a concert at The O2 in London, UK, also in May 2025.
BABYMETAL became the first Japanese band to headline at the Wembley Arena in 2016, and their shows have consistently been sold out since then. The success of BABYMETAL is attributed to their unique combination of styles, which has resonated with fans across the globe.
