In our 4/5 review of the record, writer James Hickie said of the various team-ups, "On the whole, it’s a venture that works brilliantly. From me to u (featuring Poppy) and My Queen (featuring Spiritbox) are perfectly cultivated collaborations. In both cases, you sense the guests have been inspired by BABYMETAL along the way, making for a mutually reciprocal dynamic with engrossing results. Meanwhile, Kon! Kon! (featuring Bloodywood) is a winner because of the sheer power and persuasiveness of its cultural soundclash."

Check out the new video for My Queen below.

METAL FORTH is out now via Capitol.

How BABYMETAL entered uncharted territory

Somehow, it’s been 15 years already. Though they don’t look backward, it also didn’t go unnoticed by BABYMETAL as they made their new album, METAL FORTH. Now a trio again following the induction of MOMOMETAL, and with a cast of mates on board, it’s their most ambitious work yet. It’s also the one that made them re-assess who they are, and realise quite how big their universe is…
