Heavenly Fury Ignites as BABYMETAL Summon Revolutionary Duo Spiritbox & Poppy to Unleash Unholy Riffs on ‘Metal Forth’, a Grotesque Parade of Sonic Deviance and Aural Annihilation
“Get Ready to Metal-ify Your Ears, Folks! BABYMETAL’s Latest Era Has Arrived!”
Oh, you want to know the juiciest secret in town? Well, I’m about to spill the tea on the most anticipated album of the year – BABYMETAL’s fifth installment, Metal Forth! And trust me, you won’t be disappointed. This Japanese heavy-hitter duo has been making waves in the music scene since their 2010 formation, and their new album is about to take it to the next level.
As I sit here, sipping on a strong brew of coffee and dishing out the latest scoop, I’m reminded of the golden days of Fox Day, a tradition that has been lived and breathed by BABYMETAL. You see, on April 1 (Japanese time), the band drops their big announcements – it’s a day of revelations, darling! And, boy, do we have a treat in store for us this year. The big headline for 2025? The release of Metal Forth, a ten-track masterpiece that’s going to rock your world!
This album, my friends, is a collaborative effort par excellence. Expect cameos from the likes of Spiritbox, Polyphia, Bloodywood, and Slaughter to Prevail. And, of course, we can’t forget the previous singles that will be included, like “METALI!!” (feat. Tom Morello) and “Ratatata” (with Electric Callboy). But that’s not all, folks! The band will also be dropping a new single, “From Me to U,” on April 4, featuring the inimitable Poppy. Mark your calendars, darling!
Now, let’s take a step back in time. BABYMETAL’s first album was released in 2014, and since then, they’ve come a long way. Their subsequent albums have charted higher, and they’ve even made history by becoming the first Japanese artist to sign a frontline deal with Capital Records. It’s a new era for the band, and I, for one, couldn’t be more excited!
Metal Forth, as the title suggests, “beyond metal.” It’s a new chapter in the band’s life, and I’m told it’s going to be a game-changer. And to top it all off, a 24-date North American tour is scheduled to kick off in June, with dates in Europe, the U.K., and Asia to follow.
So, there you have it, folks! BABYMETAL is back with a vengeance, and it’s time to get ready to metal-ify your ears!
