Babymetal

Babymetal is a Japanese idol group that creates a mix of J-pop and metal. The project was originally formed in 2011 as part of Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin, but became an independent band in 2013. The band consists of idols Suzuka "Su-metal" Nakamoto, Moa "Moametal" Kikuchi and Momoko "Momometal" Okazaki. Their debut album was released in 2014 and expressly won the band thousands of fans - including gaining a huge following outside of Japan. In October 2019, the band released Metal Galaxy, which very quickly topped Billboard magazine's Top Rock Album chart, something no other Asian band had managed to do until then. That same year, the band performed at one of Europe's most important festivals, the legendary Glastonbury. In their short career, the band had the opportunity to support stars such as Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica and Guns N' Roses. The project has also received support from Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford, who has stated that Babymetal is the future of metal.
