BABYMETAL have announced their fourth album, appropriately dubbed METAL FORTH, arriving June 13th via new label home Capitol Records. The LP will feature collaborations with several notable artists.
The next single and album opener, “from me to u” featuring Poppy, is set to drop Friday (April 4th). It’s one of seven collaborative tracks on the 10-song album.
A couple of those have already been released as singles, including “METALI!!” with Tom Morello and “RATATATA” with Electric Callboy. The other collabs include “Sunset Kiss” (feat. Polyphia), “My Queen” (feat. Spiritbox), “Kon! Kon!” (feat. Bloodywood), and “Song 3” (with Slaughter to Prevail).
