BABYMETAL is a thing. In fact it's apparently been a thing since 2011 but for whatever reason I'm only first hearing about it today. BABYMETAL is a band out of Japan comprised of three teen girls with a combined age of 44 (one 16 years old and the other two both 14) which combines sweet bubblegum pop with bone crunching heavy metal. It shouldn't work, it really shouldn't. But somehow they manage to pull it off and at the time of this post their self-titled album is number 1 on the iTunes UK Heavy Metal chart, beating out bands like BLACK SABBATH and IRON MAIDEN. No I'm not joking.
Love it or hate it BABYMETAL's music is unlike anything you have ever heard before and you owe it to yourself to at least check it out. Wrap your eyes and ears around the latest video for the song 'Gimme Chocolate!' below and if you still want more there are another 16 clips on the band's Youtube channel.
