Babymetal and Bloodywood Join Forces on the Latest Single “Kon! Kon!”

One of the coolest things about metal is the fact that it really is for everyone. Doesn’t matter your skin color, creed, geographical location… doesn’t mater. All that matters is the music. That’s why I’ve been a long-time proponent of bands like Babymetal and Bloodywood. Purists may dislike them, but people paying attention to where metal’s going can see there’s enough room for those acts.

So it’s awesome to see both these bands working together to put out a great collab. If you hear this track and it doesn’t make you move even a little bit, you probably just have to loosen up a bit.

This is the fifth single off of Babymetal’s forthcoming album Metal Forth, which will be released on August 8 via Capitol Records. This isn’t even the first collab featured from the new album, as we’ve already gotten to hear the band’s tracks featuring Poppy, Tom Morello, Slaughter to Prevail, and Electric Callboy. Each of those have their own unique feel.

Metal Forth will be released on August 8, but you can preorder/presave your copy today. The band still has some tour dates left, so if you’re in the area, you should check out the list of remaining gigs below.
