Formed in 2010, Babymetal is a unique Japanese music group that combines heavy metal styles with J-Pop idol styles. Originally a subset of the idol group Sakura Gakuin, they became an independent group in 2013 after Suzuka Nakamoto's departure. In October 2018, Yui Mizuno ("Yuimetal") left the band due to health issues. During their "Black Night" concert in April 2023, Momoko Okazaki officially joined Babymetal as a touring backup dancer under the name "Momometal".

Babymetal's fusion of genres has gained them international recognition and a dedicated fanbase. Their energetic performances and catchy melodies have made them stand out in the music industry. Influenced by both heavy metal and J-Pop, their sound is a perfect blend of powerful guitar riffs and infectious pop hooks.

If you enjoy Babymetal's unique style, you may also like similar artists such as BAND-MAID, LADYBABY, PassCode, SCANDAL, Daoko, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, MAXIMUM THE HORMONE, MYTH & ROID, Unlucky Morpheus, Utsu-P,and more.

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 honor of being the first Japanese band to headline the prestigious venue. They played their biggest headline shows to date, selling out two nights – 110,000 people - at the massive TOKYO DOME in September 2016, before returning to the UK later in the year to support RHCP on their huge arena run. They kicked off 2017 opening for both METALLICA in South Korea and GUNS N’ ROSES in Japan, spending the summer in the US with KORN and STONE SOUR, and continued worldwide touring in 2018. But the moment fans have been waiting for most eagerly is nearly here, with much sought-after details of a new album finally being revealed. “We’re excited to announce BABYMETAL’s 3rd album ‘METAL GALAXY’!! 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!!”
