Welcome back - this isn't the first time BABYMETAL has strayed into doing some Prog metal, 'Tales of the Destinies' was on the second album as long ago as 2016. The only involvement any of the Kami Band has had with writing any of the music or even playing in the studio recordings (as far as we know) is limited to guitarist Leda Cygnus who wrote the guitar arrangements for 'No Rain, No Rainbow' and played guitar and bass in a handful of other songs. We don't know who records the studio versions beyond that, the Kami Band are BABYMETAL's support for live shows ... and I think I saw an interview once where Kobametal said something like he leaves it up to them to work out how to play all the songs live. You will get a few more surprises with the other songs from the album you haven't heard yet. Also at the concerts last weekend the "new" BABYMETAL was announced and they are moving forward with Su-metal, Moametal and new member Momometal ... former Avenger Momoko.🦊

Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 Say welcome to MomoMetal the new official member, finally she is part of this group with a metal tag.🍑❤️ This track was a blast with Anthony Barone playing on drums during latest concerts past weekend. Keep enjoying the full album, is a rollercoaster and you're gonna be surprised. See you next time 🦊🤘🪞

They have a bunch of people writing the music and lyrics. Su-metal was credited with the lyrics for "Divine Attack - Shingeki" tho for the very first time, making her teenage dream of becoming a singer/songwriter come true.

👍 👍

I was not enthused by the first four singles from this album, but I gotta say the rest of the tracks have almost uniformly been a step up from the ones released before. Mirror Mirror, MAYA, Time Wave, Believing, and METALIZM are all excellent.

You should definitely react to the whole album if you are willing.

Actually the band doesn't write their own music they do have songwriters though Su is credited with co writing define attack on this album she is also giving her feedback on the direction the songs should go if I read that right in of the interviews I read the Kami band does not write or record the songs they've always had other musicians that do that and the Kami band performs on The tours but it's a system that has worked for them for 13 years
