Babymetal Biography - Road of Little Resistance

After the split of singer Suzuka Nakamoto's first group, record heads looked to form a group around her powerful vocals, enlisting ten-year-olds Yui Mizuno and Moa Kikuchi to complete a trio that would go on to interpret the metal genre in a very different way. After receiving millions of views for their YouTube postings, the group went on to sign with a major record label and release their first official single 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' in January 2013. On performing live at the Summer Sonic festival in the same year it was reported that members of Metallica came to watch the performance.

The group's self-titled debut album was released in February 2014 to critical acclaim and reached both the number four spot on the Oricon charts and number two in Billboard Japan. With an average age of 15, they became one of the youngest groups to position so highly, and even topped metal charts in Germany, the UK and US. The following year saw them make their first appearance in the UK at the Sonisphere Festival, performing alongside the likes of Iron Maiden before opening for Lady Gaga at five of her ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour shows. Now back with new single 'Gimme Chocolate!' the band are gearing up to make their return to the UK in April 2016. Don't miss out - get your Babymetal tickets on StubHub.
