In an age when nearly every song ever recorded is available at a moment’s notice, it’s easy to get cynical about music. Everything’s been done before and we have a never-ending Spotify playlist to prove it.Flying in from Japan like a flaming battle axe covered in glitter and bubble gum is Babymetal, a band whose pitch-perfect execution of an absolutely insane concept has the potential to instantly banish any thoughts of ‟it's all been done” from your brain.The premise behind Babymetal is simple: Take a trio of Japanese teen girl pop stars, choreographed dance moves and all, and have them sing over hard-charging death metal riffs. Even the band’s name is a reference to the idea’s gonzo novelty. "We want to be the only one in the world," singer Su-Metal said in an interview with Razor TV. "We use the 'Baby' because we are newborn, a new genre."The band released its debut, eponymous full-length album last month. Check out the music video for the album's first single, entitled, ‟Give Me Choco!”
