BABYMETAL have unveiled their first song since being “reborn” with new member MOMOMETAL earlier this year. The new track “METALI!!” features guitar playing from Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello.
“METALI!!” comes in addition to BABYMETAL’s latest album, THE OTHER ONE, which arrived in March of this year. As described on BABYMETAL’s website, the new song “incorporates both traditional J-RAP and Tom Morello’s legendary, phenomenal guitar playing.”
The accompanying music video features the three members of BABYMETAL — SU-METAL, MOAMETAL, and MOMOMETAL — dancing and performing the song, with Morello appearing at the 2:15 mark to rock his minute-long guitar part that ends the tune.
“I am a big fan of BABYMETAL, a band that is both power rocking and constantly surprising with dizzying musical twists and turns,” said Morello in a press release. “I’ve been trying to work with them for some time and when they sent me the demo of ‘METALI!!’ I knew I could rock that shit like crazy!”
BABYMETAL will embark on a co-headlining North American tour with DETHKLOK beginning August 30th in Houston. Tickets are available here.
