BABYMETAL’s forthcoming 3rd Album “METAL GALAXY” will be released worldwide simultaneously on October 11th. Three and a half years after the release of their previous album ‘METAL RESISTANCE’, this new offering is based on the concept of “The Odyssey of METAL GALAXY”.
 
BABYMETAL has performed all over the world, appearing as guests and joining tours with many household name artists including METALLICA, JUDAS PRIEST and LADY GAGA, energetically exploring the world.   
 
The forthcoming new album “METAL GALAXY” includes 14 songs, the names of which are all revealed today. As their band name, BABYMETAL represents “the birth of a new genre of music that combines Japanese pop with metal”, hence the term “baby” in the name, the new album expresses LIGHT & DARKNESS, emotions like duality and ambivalence, and “new metal” created by various chemical reactions as other entities evolved and expanded in this album.
 
Just like the Sun and the Moon changes the appearance of this world with its daylight and moonlight, with evermore new type of various sound, their music paints the metal galaxy in different colours.
 
The album includes 5 songs that feature guest appearances from worldwide musicians who were perfect to the character of each song.
