It's here! The first single from Babymetal's new album, Metal Resistance, "KARATE" has been released and is it me or would the music not be out of place on a release by a band on Sumerian Records? It's certainly new territory for Babymetal to explore. Don't worry, the band's signature catchy lyrics are still present, but the music clearly is taking inspiration from the djent/metalcore scene and there is less J-Pop influence.
Why take it from me? Listen for yourself:
Babymetal will kick off a world tour later this year, get dates here. Metal Resistance comes out April 1st.
