BABYMETAL last week revealed that they will release their first concept album, "The Other One" , on Friday, March 24, 2023. Leading up to this concept album release, five pre-release digital singles will be available worldwide for download and streaming, each respectively scheduled to release in October, November, January, February, and March.

BABYMETAL was formed in 2010. Their mission was to unify the world through heavy metal by creating a fusion of heavy metal and the Japanese pop genre. Their music contains a stunning mix of electronic pop, a pinch of alternative and industrial rock, and is leveled up by fast-driven heavy metal. Their live shows are ground-breaking and epic visual as well as sound performances. BABYMETAL continued to travel the path of metal with the international release of their three albums, telling the story of the mighty Fox God and his brave metal warriors.

A book about the first ten years of BABYMETAL , "Bessatsu Kadokawa Souryoku Tokushuu" , was released in Japan in October 2020. It contains a long interview with Su-metal and Moametal as well as never-before-heard stories from band producer Kobametal from BABYMETAL 's decade-long history, photos taken from live shows, a discussion between Demon Kakka and Kobametal , and much more.

In 2018, BABYMETAL announced the departure of Yuimetal , who was formerly one of the members of the Japanese group's core trio. She exited the band, explaining in a statement that she would go on to pursue a solo career as Mizuno Yu .

With their fascination for the stories of World War I and two dedicated studio albums filled to the brim with stories from this conflict, the band from Falun have decided to dive even deeper into this topic with their newest release: The EP trilogy entitled Echoes Of The Great War.

This new EP trilogy features new songs specifically about World War I, coupled with topically related catalogue music. You read that right; Sabaton has been busy in the studio recording some new music for their fans. With this WWI collection, the band aims to present this music in a different way, enabling the listener to familiarise themselves with these incredible war stories, while simultaneously quenching the thirst for metal music.

Commenting on the new project, Pär Sundström states:

“This trilogy complements our two studio albums The Great War and The War To End All Wars. We were definitely not ready to close our World War I chapter. We wanted to continue the journey and let it echo a little longer in the hearts and minds of our fans."

The first in the series, Weapons Of The Modern Age, is out now. In times of conflict, science is very much linked to the war system. The First World War witnessed some of the biggest leaps in scientific evolution, weaponizing land, sea and skies in ways never witnessed before. This EP sheds light on the powerful and devastating tactics used to fight the war, and kicking off this release is SABATON's new track, "Father".

Sharing his insight on the track, Joakim Broden declares:

“Our new song, 'Father', is a dark track about a very controversial person. Fritz Haber, the man who weaponized lethal gas, is responsible for about 4 billion people being alive today thanks to the Haber-Bosch process that he won a Nobel Prize for. It takes some serious thought to wrap your head around his story. Things aren’t always easy to understand or simply black and white, but rather all shades of grey. 'Father' really forces you to think a bit more than the average song you hear on the radio."

Weapons Of The Modern Age is available at all streaming platforms found here . Watch the "Father" lyric video below.

"Father" "The Red Baron" "Dreadnought" "The Attack of the Dead Men" "The Future of Warfare" "Stormtroopers"

"A Michael Bay wet dream": How Sabaton, Babymetal and Lordi conquered Wembley Arena

Monsters, tanks and massive anthems - sabaton's the tour to end all tours represents everything brilliant about metal in 2023.

You can trust Louder Our experienced team has worked for some of the biggest brands in music. From testing headphones to reviewing albums, our experts aim to create reviews you can trust. Find out more about how we review.

Lordi. Babymetal . Sabaton. All three bands have been dismissed at points of their careers due to perceived gimmicks - the "monster" band, the "Kawaii" band, the "tank" band - but a sold-out, full capacity Wembley Arena proves that no matter what dismissive statements you might make against them, there are at least 12,000 fans who prove these bands are a very beloved part of the heavy metal firmament. 

First up for metal's wildest tour of 2023 are Lordi, the Finnish shock rockers who took top spot at Eurovision in 2006 and set a precedent for many hopeful metal acts for years to come (including Voyager and Lord Of The Lost , who will be representing Australia and Germany respectively this year). 

At their best, Lordi are purveyors of spooky shanties designed for mass consumption, but Wembley seems somewhat subdued in response for their opening set. The cheers of approval for the band's arrival don't quite mesh with the lack of mass sing-alongs as the band tuck into a short but sweet set, but nonetheless a combination of nostalgia and brilliant songwriting ensures we feel the magic of Would You Love A Monsterman?, Blood Red Sandman and Devil Is A Loser , with a thumping Hard Rock Halleujah making us feel like its 2006 all over again. 

Lordi setlist - Wembley Arena, April 15 2023

• Dead Again Jayne
• Would You Love A Monsterman?
• Thing In The Cage
• Blood Red Sandman
• Lucyfer Prime Evil
• Devil Is A Loser
• Who's Your Daddy?

The fact these are the first shows Babymetal has played in the UK as an official trio for almost five years feels like Big News. While they have long had a stand-in third member in the form of the Avengers dancers (Momoko Okazaki herself being one of these), the addition of "Momometal" as an official member lends a natural sense of cohesion to Babymetal's performance.

“We are so excited to be back at WEMBLEY ARENA,” Su-Metal offers, a canny reminder that this band have been playing to thousands of people almost since their first appearance in the UK. The next 40 minutes flies by in a blitzkrieg of sweeping riffs, blaring synths, soaring symphoncs and utterly captivating stagecraft as the trio show off a near-inhuman level of precision in their choreography.

For all the infectious, hyperactive energy of their early songs, its new cuts Divine Attack - Shingeki and Monochrome that feel the most enormous, absolutely titanic tunes that make songs like Gimme Chocolate!! feel almost cartoonish in comparison, the audience clearly braying for more as the band depart.

• Divine Attack - Shingeki
• Gimme Chocolate!!
• Road Of Resistance

Calling Sabaton "the tank band" feels utterly redundant at this point. Yes, their drumriser is a tank, but at Wembley Arena it's only a very small part of a Broadway-sized theatrical production Sabaton are putting on, an enormous sign over the stage proclaiming The Tour To End All Tours going some way to the sheer scale the Swedes are delivering in 2023. 

A cascade of exloding fireworks signals the band's arrival and feels especially chaotic as Sabaton rush the stage with all the intensity of an actual invasion - and by god if they don't have the ordinance to back it up. From a seemingly endless supply of pyro that turns an already-warm Wembley into a scorching sauna to everything from actors portraying historical figures like Gavrilo Princip and German flying ace the Bloody Baron to smoke canons, fireworks-firing bazookas and a snow machine, every song seemingly comes with its own flourishes that makes the whole thing feel like a Blockbuster epic. 

And if you took away those special effects? Well, then you have some of the most infectiously joyous songs in the heavy metal can(n)on. Ghost Division , Carolus Rex, Stormtroopers, Soldier Of Heaven - each of these massive anthems waves the flag for the bombastic, triumphant spirit that has made heavy metal such a formidable force these past 50 years, to coin a phrase from Babymetal: "transcending generational divides and language barriers". 

Whether they're playing practical jokes on each other - at one point singer Joakim Brodén's incredibly sweaty face is plastered with plectrums - or mavelling at the fact the first time the band played London was at the now-closed 200 capacity Purple Turtle (where they sold just 90 tickets), it all feels like vindication for Sabaton sticking to their guns - and tanks, and planes that conceal keyboards - for so long to literally conquer one of London's most revered large-scale venues. 

In turn, Wembley utterly adores the band for it. The sing-alongs come thick and fast for the more bombastic numbers, while ballads like Motorhead cover 1916 and Christmas Truce met with a sea of shining lights that capture the wonder and magic Sabaton embody. 

With grit, perserverance and yes, a stage show that comes off like a Michael Bay wet dream, Sabaton have added their own epic entry to the heavy metal pantheon, shrugging off the "gimmick" tag to show time and again they are exactly what this genre has been built upon, metal legends in their own right.

I confess, I was looking forward to seeing some kind of collaboration between Sabaton and The Hu (as they did with both Amaranthe and Apocalyptica the last time they played the UK), but the mind boggles as to what they’re going to get up to with Babymetal! Joakim did guest on one of their songs , so maybe we’ll see him take to the stage a set early? I’ve not seen the J-Metal band live before so I’m looking forward to it.

Anyway, that’s just my opinion. The official PR statement follows…

SABATON / BABYMETAL / LORDI (Live)

At the first direct arena, leeds, u.k., april 14, 2023.

It’s certainly been a long time coming but finally Sabaton’s The Tour To End All Tours  arrived in Leeds for the opening night of their European Tour and by showtime, the anticipation amongst the packed crowd had reached fever pitch.

Always a band to put on something of a spectacle, Sabaton ensured that spectacle started with the support acts too and what better way to open than Eurovision Winners Lordi complete with their hideous, gnarled, monster costumes.

Armed with some seriously catchy tunes, things started well for Lordi with “Dead Again Jayne” and “Would You Love The Monster Man?” packing a serious punch but with enough hooks to catch a dozen sharks.

Alas first night sound gremlins kicked in big time to seriously disrupt the set but Lordi soldiered on admirably despite this, delivering a set which had the crowd jumping. Mr Lordi’s dry humour added to the sense of fun on “Who’s Your Daddy” and the legendary Euro anthem “Hard Rock Hallelujah” rescued Lordi from the jaws of defeat. It wasn’t to be Lordi’s day but on another night, they’d have blown the roof off.

Every now and then a phenomenon comes from seemingly nowhere and turns the musical world on its head. Japan’s Babymetal have taken the Metal world by storm with their toxic mix of J-Pop and brutal Metal creating something utterly unique, both musically and visually which they dub “Kawaii Metal” or “Cute Metal”.

Fronted by three “cute” lead singers with almost cartoon-like voices and tight, high energy choreography juxtaposed by some seriously Metal riffing it just seems so bizarre that it couldn’t possibly work but it does. Big time.

The crowd went absolutely wild for them as they tore through “Babymetal Death” and “Pa Pa Ya” but it was their iconic “Gimme Chocolate” smash that brought the house down. Who could argue with a message like that?

Swedish Metal heroes, Sabaton’s star is certainly heading for the stratosphere at the moment with this tour selling out across the continent and tonight in Leeds, it was no exception. Ahead of the tour bassist Pär Sundström promised a show far bigger in scope and scale than they’d ever done before. Let’s just say, Pär didn’t lie.

As lovers of military history, a Sabaton show is not just a regular concert but something of a history lesson too – not the stuffy, boring school days type – but something altogether more interactive.

Opening with the bombastic “Ghost Division” to an absolute deluge of explosions and smoke bombs had the front of stage security guys jumping out of their skin before lead singer Joakim Broden ended the song by firing a bazooka at the drumriser. Sabaton were up and running.

The stirring “Bismarck” followed hot on its heels, with hot being the operative word as flamethrowers enveloped the stage from all angles frying those in the first tens rows.

With a stage set designed around their The Great War and The War To End All Wars  albums, this was a visual feast with sandbags and barbed wire to the front of the stage which was flanked by watch towers, the drum kit sitting atop a tank with a huge gun, which of course, fired and a whole host extras, this was one unforgettable history lesson.

The energy levels never dipped below frantic as guitarists Chris Rorland and Tommy Johansson along with bassist Pär Sundström dashed from one side of the stage to the other, up ramps and platforms and into the watch towers without pausing for breath as Broden commanded from the front. It was a high intensity, fast moving, chest thumping, fist pumping Metal romp.

The flames came thick and fast during “Into The Fire” and “Carolus Rex” and with two actors standing in the watchtowers blasting flamethrowers across the stage during “Stormtroopers” it was as if the Commando comics of the ’70s had come to life.

Hot of the press this very day, “1916” and “Father” from their latest EP Weapons Of The Modern Age  made their very first live appearances with the latter featuring a couple of onstage actors telling of the paradox of Fritz Haber, the man responsible for weaponising gas in war while also developing fertilizer that has fed billions.

During the driving, bombast of “The Red Baron” the legendary red tri-plane entered centre stage with the Red Baron himself playing the keyboards nestling in the cockpit. Great stuff.

In a truly moving moment, thousands of mobile phones lit up the arena like a Christmas tree during “Christmas Truce” featuring a British Tommy and a German Fritz around a burning piano, with Tommy Johansson standing on top for the solo as the song told the tale of the short time the guns fell silent in 1914 before ending with a confetti snow storm.

“Primo Victoria” and “To Hell and Back” brought the night to one suitably explosive end with enough pyro to spark World War III making this the hottest ticket in town and quite possibly the most jaw dropping, spectacular arena show you’ll see all year. In a word – stunning.

CONCERT REVIEW: Sabaton Play Biggest Dutch Show To-Date

Heavy metal band Sabaton recently played their biggest show in the Netherlands, together with BABYMETAL & Lordi as part of their absolutely massive ‘ The Tour To End All Tours ‘ Tour.

Our night would start with the eccentric Finnish band Lordi , who are known for their over-the-top costumes and theatrics on stage. But, as it turned out, the wild theatrics and over-the-top stage show, the musicianship of the band was undeniable. The guitar riffs were razor-sharp, the drumming thunderous, and the basslines groovy and infectious. The lead singer’s vocals were exceptional and the crowd was already hugely present, even if Lordi was the first act to play.

Following Lordi , Japanese kawaii metal group BABYMETAL took the stage. BABYMETAL’s unique style has garnered them a large and dedicated fanbase both in Japan and around the world. They have performed at some of the world’s biggest music festivals, including Download Festival and Rock on the Range, and have shared the stage with notable metal bands such as Metallica and Slayer . BABYMETAL’s live show is a sight to behold, one of a kind, with focus on a dance choreography that blends metal with J-pop, all the while the musicians delivering heavy riffs and pounding drums. While the group only performed 7 songs, they have managed to feature 4 albums on the setlist, including the popular self-titled album, as well as latest effort THE OTHER ONE.

While it’s not necessarily relevant for fans of the band, it is important for us to note that Sabaton and their crew were one of the most friendly we have ever witnessed. The photographers got a proper and often humorous briefing from the tour manager, who also made sure they were well taken care of throughout the show. Big props on that front. Now, on to more pressing matters. Onstage, Sabaton delivered a high-energy performance that left the crowd of about 17.000 fans completely enamoured. From the opening chords to the final note, Sabaton brought their signature brand of power metal to life with confidence and precision. Fans were treated to a selection of classic Sabaton hits, as well as songs from their newest album “ The War To End All Wars .”

Sabaton’s stage setup at live shows is known for being epic and immersive. The band often incorporates military props as part of their stage design, adding to the overall theme of their music. This show was no different, with a tank, actors acting out various historical themes, gasmasks and the display of an aeroplane being featured on the stage throughout the band’s extensive set. They also use a lot of pyrotechnics and special effects to enhance their performance and engage the audience. Sabaton’s stage presence and energy, combined with their impressive stage setup, create an unforgettable live experience for their fans. The Amsterdam show lived up to fans’ expectations, with their largest crowd of 17.000 fans enjoying the aforementioned epic and immersive performance to date.

Check out some shots from all 3 bands on this fine night in the galleries below and make sure to catch this awesome bill on the road if you have the opportunity to!
