Babymetal have released a new single.
Metali!! featuring Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello delivers massive metal riffs atop melodies and vocals that seem to draw from Punjabi influence, with a recurrent riff remiscent of Panjabi MC's Mundian To Bach Ke. There's also a chaotic breakdown just after the two-minute mark — we can already see the circle pits!
"I am a big fan of BABYMETAL, a band that is both power rocking and constantly surprising with dizzying musical twists and turns," said Morello. "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!"
The song follows their latest LP, 'The Other One', which came out in March. The Japanese band also recently collaborated with Lil Uzi Vert on their track The End, taken from their new album, 'Pink Tape'.
Babymetal will kick off their co-headline North American tour with Dethklok later this month. They'll then embark on a winter European tour, which includes UK gigs in London and Wolverhampton. Tickets are on sale now.
