veyda 765 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 NPR recently wrote an article on this Japanese girl group that fuses metal with bubbly pop. here is the article what do you think about them? thoughts? Deal With It, Headbangers — Babymetal Is Here "The cries of foul have been predictable, skeptics up in arms about the act's seeming lack of sincerity, its "corporate" approach, its prefab quality. It's a common complaint in an era when the mainstream side of heavy metal is stuck between the nostalgic and the milquetoast." "Babymetal doesn't hide its contrivances at all. A product of the Japanese pop idol stableSakura Gakuin and the vision of producer and longtime metal fan Key "Kobametal" Kobayash" "Not all old-schoolers have gravitated to the squeaky voices of 16 year-old Su-Metal and 15 year-olds Moametal, and Yuimetal, but those who have recognize that undeniable element of fun that somehow has become lost over the years in a sea of equally contrived darkness, hostility and antisocial sentiment" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulmicola 1,981 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I don't mind Babymetal, but they could've been better. Some of their songs are great though. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyAjumma 1,925 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I like Babymetal but I'm not a big metal fan. The only other metal bands I listen to are a capella groups like Van Canto or instrumental groups like Apocalyptica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Quatro 1,441 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I don't like metal at all, but I love the combination of the music and j-pop vocals, with the growls and stuff The band that plays with the girls are better on their instruments than plenty of metal bands out there, and Suzuka is a very good singer as well.
