About the Artist

BABYMETAL, the enigmatic quartet hailing from Japan, have carved a unique niche in the international music scene since their formation in 2010. Initially a sub-unit of the idol group Sakura Gakuin, BABYMETAL quickly blossomed into a global phenomenon. Fronted by the powerful vocals of SU-METAL and the dynamic choreography of MOAMETAL (with MOMOMETAL recently joining the ranks), they are backed by the legendary Kami Band, a group of highly skilled musicians who provide the thunderous instrumental backbone to their performances. Their music masterfully blends melodic death metal, thrash metal, and power metal with catchy J-pop hooks and intricate dance routines. Hits like "Gimme Chocolate!!", "KARATE", and "Megitsune" have garnered millions of views and cemented their status as pioneers of 'kawaii metal'. Their live shows are renowned for their theatricality, high-energy performances, and the passionate dedication of their devoted fanbase, the 'Metal Resistance'. They have toured extensively worldwide, headlining major festivals and supporting legendary rock acts, proving their universal appeal.
