Since the release of the last album, the band have had numerous highlights, breaking the all-time merch sales record at SSE Arena Wembley, and holding the honour of being the first Japanese band to headline the prestigious venue.

The album’s main theme is that BABYMETAL are on an odyssey to the METAL GALAXY and a different variety of songs are packed within the album. We are on an odyssey to the METAL GALAXY. Welcome to the world of BABYMETAL!!”

I thought this act was the worst piece of garbage...and then they released this:

And I thought the above was damn good. Love the little melodic section that runs from 0:11-0:20. Reminds me of the old school Gothenburg metal scene which was great.

Then I went back and revisited the older stuff...and still hate it.

I'll at least give the upcoming album a chance when it comes out.

I actually saw them live in NYC a few years ago and they are quite the spectacle, fun live. I'll give this new one a listen.

I thought they were fun a few years ago for about 5 minutes.
