The post BABYMETAL unveil tracklist and guest musicians for Metal Galaxy appeared first on Consequence of Sound.

After previously revealing the title, release date, and artwork for their upcoming album, Metal Galaxy, BABYMETAL have now unveiled the LP’s tracklist and guest musicians.

The Japanese pop-metal group’s third album, which arrives October 11th, will contain 14 songs and feature a bevy of guest artists. The musicians appearing on Metal Galaxy include Arch Enemy vocalist Alissa White-Gluz; Sabaton singer Joakim Brodén; Polyphia guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage; B’z guitarist Tak Matsumoto; and Thai rapper F.HERO.

Along with revealing the tracklist, the band offered more insight into the album, explaining, “As their band name, BABYMETAL, represents ‘the birth of a new genre of music that combines Japanese pop with metal’, hence the term ‘baby’ in the name, the new album expresses Light & Darkness, emotions like duality and ambivalence, and ‘new metal’ created by various chemical reactions as other entities evolved and expanded in this album.”
