Hot off the heels of their recent announcement welcoming their newest member, MOMOMETAL to the band. Kawaii J-rockers BABYMETAL turned up the heat once again this week. Dropping their first single featuring the freshly updated line-up, the suitably entitled, ‘Metali’.
Packing a special guest appearance from Rage Against The Machine alumni Tom Morello. ‘Metali’ is the latest in a string of collaborations that has seen BABYMETAL rub shoulders with the likes of Bring Me The Horizon. As well as featuring alongside rapper Lil Uzi Vert on his recent U.S #1 album ‘Pink Tape’.
Morello has apparently been waiting for his chance to work with the group for some time now too and had this to say about their recent collaboration- “I am a big fan of BABYMETAL, a band that is both power rocking and constantly surprising with dizzying musical twists and turns. I’ve been trying to work with them for some time and when they sent me the demo of ‘METALI!!’ I knew I could rock that shit like crazy!”

Crafted explicitly with circle pits in mind, the up tempo track looks certain to be a mainstay of the bands setlist when BABYMETAL hit the road for their upcoming world tour this November. Which will see them perform two consecutive dates at London’s intimate Roundhouse venue, both of which have already sold out!
