BABYMETAL’s sophomore album, titled “Metal Resistance,” has been highly anticipated by fans across the world. Before now only snippets smuggled out of the Yokohama Arena show were all we had to work with. As of now the tracklist for the new album has been released:
1. Road Of Resistance
2. Karate
3. Awadama Fever
4. Yava!
5. Amore
6. Meta Taro
7. From Dusk Till Dawn
8. GJ!
9. Sis. Anger
10. No Rain, No Rainbow
11. Tales Of The Destinies
12. The One (English version)
We’ve heard roughly half of the album already. “Road to Resistance” is their song with speed-metal demons Dragonforce. “Karate” is one of the songs recorded by enterprising fans at Yokohama (and will officially be released in its true form on the 25th). “Awadama Fever” was featured as part of their “Legend 2015″ concert last year. “Yava” was also part of Yokohama. “No Rain, No Rainbow” has been performed live on more than a few occasions. “The One” was also debuted live in concert. The other half of the tracks? That’s anyone’s guess.
The album is set to be released on April 1st, one day before their solo show at Wembley in the UK.
