Japanese metal-fusion act Babymetal just put out the official single for a song they’ve been recently performing live, “Elevator Girl.” The song has a catchy pop hook that blends rather smoothly with the metallic guitar riffs in the background. It’s certainly not their most heavy track, but still has hard-hitting moments.
Furthermore, the band also announced a North American headlining tour with Avatar as the opener. Tickets will go on public sale on 5/17 at 10am local time for most dates below.
