Meaning “beyond metal,” METAL FORTH features collaborations with Poppy, Spiritbox, Tom Morello, Bloodywood, Electric Callboy, Polyphia, and Slaughter to Prevail - artists BABYMETAL has connected with while touring the globe. Fans can stream the previously released singles “RATATATA” (with Electric Callboy), “from me to u (feat. Poppy)”, and “Song 3” (with Slaughter To Prevail) now on all digital platforms.
METAL FORTH follows 2019’s METAL GALAXY and THE OTHER ONE, their 2023 concept album. PAPER said, “On THE OTHER ONE, the band cracks open the Metalverse, surfing through parallel universes and a dizzying maze that tests their perceptions of truths, lies, and what rests beyond the darkness.”
For the first time ever BABYMETAL will offer autographed copies of the new album in strictly limited quantities, as well as a box set, alternate cover art versions, LPs, CDs, cassettes, merchandise bundles and more. Visit https://shop.metalforth.com to purchase.
Formed in 2010, BABYMETAL quickly gained popularity in Japan for their explosive live shows. By 2013, they had become a force of their own — opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, and Lady Gaga, and bringing the ferocity of metal to a global audience. With over 15 years of history and a diehard international following, BABYMETAL isn’t just a band — they’re a movement redefining what heavy music looks and sounds like. Fronted by three dynamic women — SU-METAL, MOAMETAL, and MOMOMETAL — BABYMETAL has helped reshape the face of metal, inspiring a new generation of women and girls who see themselves in this sound and on these stages.
The band’s 24-date North American tour run has already hit major cities including Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, Chicago, and will be visiting San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City with a newly announced, special show taking place at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. This arena show, taking place Saturday, November 1st is BABYMETAL’s largest US headline show to date.
