The explosive new single will appear on their upcoming album
Babymetal has released the explosive new single “Kon! Kon!” featuring Bloodywood. This is the fifth single off their upcoming album Metal Forth, out on August 8th via Capitol Records. They also put out an accompanying music video for the song, filmed at their show at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, that showcases their high-octane performance with Bloodywood. They are currently on tour together on their biggest North American tour to date.
Meaning “beyond metal,” Metal Forth features collaborations with Poppy, Spiritbox, Tom Morello, Bloodywood, Electric Callboy, Polyphia, and Slaughter to Prevail – artists Babymetal has connected with while touring the globe. Fans can stream the previously released singles “Ratatata” with Electric Callboy, “From Me to U” featuring Poppy, and “Song 3” with Slaughter To Prevail, now on all digital platforms.
Metal Forth follows 2019’s Metal Galaxy and The Other One, their 2023 concept album. For the first time, Babymetal will offer autographed copies of the new album in strictly limited quantities, as well as a box set, alternate cover art versions, LPs, CDs, cassettes, merchandise bundles and more.
Formed in 2010, Babymetal quickly gained popularity in Japan for their explosive live shows. By 2013, they had become a force of their own, opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, and Lady Gaga, and bringing the ferocity of metal to a global audience. With over 15 years of history and a diehard international following, Babymetal isn’t just a band — they’re a movement redefining what heavy music looks and sounds like. Fronted by three dynamic women — Su-Metal, Moametal, and Momometal — Babymetal has helped reshape the face of metal, inspiring a new generation of women and girls who see themselves in this sound and on these stages.
The band’s 24-date North American tour run has already hit major cities including Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, Chicago, and will be visiting San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City with a newly announced, special show taking place at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
