BABYMETAL – METAL FORTH – ALBUM REVIEW
The ascent of BABYMETAL continues as the group played their biggest headline shows this year and now unleash their ridiculously fun new album, ‘Metal Forth’.
Their fifth record finds the band in full on collaborative mode and features appearances from… *deep beath*… Poppy, Electric Callboy, Slaughter To Prevail, Bloodywood, Polyphia, Spiritbox and the legendary Tom Morello!
The album kicks off with the huge Poppy crossover ‘from me to u’ and then finally finds a home for their mega hit with Electric Callboy, ‘RATATATA’. That should give a good impression of how the album will continue.

Each track has its own identity and takes on the essence of their collaborator whilst maintaining that signature BABYMETAL madness. This ensures that you have a rich tapestry for this collection captivate you from.
On the flipside of that, the album as a whole can feel more like a compilation record then a true standalone album, particularly following their more conceptual 2023 release, ‘The Other One’.
The full integration of newest member Momoko Okazaki (Momometal) alongside Moametal and Su-metal is a highlight of the album and is a positive sign for the future of this band that keeps excelling where everybody predicted failure.
They’ve long since dispelled the flash in a pan style visions of demise by naysayers and ‘Metal Forth’ is only going to grow their credibility further!
