Metal Resistance is the second studio album by Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal. It was first released on March 29, 2016 (2016-03-29), in Japan through BMD Fox Records, and on April 1, 2016 (2016-04-01), worldwide through earMusic, RED Associated Labels (RAL), and Sony Music Entertainment.[2] Most work for the album began in 2014, shortly after the release of the band's debut album Babymetal. The members of the band describe the album as more diverse in heavy metal, with the recurring theme acquired while on tour.

Metal Resistance received generally positive reviews from music critics. The album managed to peak at number two on the Oricon Weekly Chart with first-week sales of 132,881 units, and has since been certified gold with over 230,000 copies sold in Japan. In the United States, the album debuted at number 39 on the Billboard 200, the highest rank for a Japanese artist since Kyu Sakamoto in 1963, with first-week sales of 12,914 units, and became the band's second album to top the World Albums chart. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number fifteen on the UK Albums Chart, the highest position reached by a Japanese band. Two songs from the album—"Road of Resistance" and "Karate"—were released as singles prior to the album's release, and charted on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart.

Background

[edit]

Materials for the album formed around 2013, including the chorus from "Amore" and a live performance of the song "No Rain, No Rainbow", which did not appear on the band's debut album. More music, such as the opening track "Road of Resistance" was written after the release of the eponymous album, mainly during the Babymetal World Tour 2014. Kobametal explained that most of the songwriting coincided with the band's performances of the new songs before the album, with a constant need to tweak the music or lyrics before the official release.[3]

In an interview by Gigwise, when asked about the meaning of the album title, lead vocalist Suzuka Nakamoto explained, "isn't about us resisting against anything as such, but in the last year of our activities it does feel like we're battling against something every time we step on stage". She said, concerning the sound in comparison to their debut album: "This album contains a lot more new and different types of metal that we've never done before. We've grown so much in the music that we do, and this album sounds a little bit older and more mature. It's been two years since the last one, and you can really hear our journey on this record."[4] She further explained that “metal resistance” has been a recurring theme, often mentioned on their world tours. With the ideas of exploring what they can do, and their primary message of Metal Resistance, which is "to get everyone to come together as one", the name was chosen as it was the representation of the band at the time.[5]

Comparing the record to the band's previous album, Yui Mizuno explained the band's challenge toward more music genres than before, as well as the inclusion of more positive lyrics. With the desire to send messages to the fans, the band also recorded a song in English, specifically "The One". As a result, more people would get to listen to the band's music.[5] In a Loudwire interview, Moa Kikuchi described her experiences and feelings toward their sophomore release.

We were on the road touring for two years so we had a lot of confidence in the album. To be honest, we were anxious if we could make a better album than the previous album, but when I listened to the finished new Metal Resistance, it was such an interesting new album I was relieved and definitely full of confidence.[6]

When asked about the decision to release two different versions of the album for the Japanese and international release, Kobametal stated that he did not want to deal with editions of the song having bonus tracks. "Syncopation" had a significantly Japanese feel to it, so it would present a more Japanese quality to the track listing. On the other hand, the song "From Dusk Till Dawn" contains elements of electronic dance music inspired by Skrillex, with inspiration from the bands Linkin Park and Bring Me the Horizon. This song seemed quite different from anything else in the band's repertoire, so the two track listings could tell two different stories starting from "Road of Resistance" and ending with "The One".[3]

Composition

[edit]

According to The Japan Times, the album consists of a formula with some elements of "1980s hair metal and symphonic metal, which are perhaps more suited for mixing with J-pop than metal’s edgier subgenres."[7] The album draws from various subgenres of metal; “Karate” contains elements of groove metal and nu metal,[8] "Tales of The Destinies" derives from technical progressive metal, "The One" is inspired by symphonic metal, and "GJ!" has metalcore guitars with electronic flavors with rap metal.[9] "Sis. Anger" is played mainly in black metal.[3] To contrast, the Su-metal solo "No Rain, No Rainbow" is described as an "epic ’80s power ballad", while "Meta Taro" is more synth-driven with Viking metal.[1] "Yava!" contains elements of ska and is described as having "clean guitars and punky, almost staccato verses" ramping up into "driving metal", while "Amore" is reminiscent of their previous record with elements of melodic speed metal.[3][9] “Awadama Fever”, like "Gimme Chocolate!!", follows genres of drum and bass and bubblegum pop.[7][9] The Japanese exclusive track "Syncopation" has elements of visual kei, while the international exclusive track "From Dusk Till Dawn" has a speed contrasting "Meta Taro", being faster and featuring "an epic, film soundtrack-worthy feel" and falsetto vocals.[3][9]

In a Loudwire interview, Su-metal described the lyrics of "Awadama Fever", such as "mint-flavored time machine": "This song has a lot of kawaii elements. I have an impression that even though it's metal, it brings out a lot of our kawaii bits."[6] Mizuno described the lyrics of the album as "very positive and have a lot of motivational elements to them. I hope that this record will uplift our listeners, and inspire them." Kikuchi expressed the goal of Metal Resistance: "We hope to be able to unite the world through music on this album - for it to be the bridge between us and the listeners. This is something we've put a lot of emphasis on with this album."[4]

Release and promotion

[edit]
"Road of Resistance" was performed for the first time during the Babymetal World Tour 2014.

Metal Resistance was announced in December 2015 to coincide with news of a new world tour, with the album's title confirmed in January 2016.[10][11] On February 19, the band released the artwork and track list for the three versions of the album, along with a February 25 release date for the album's lead single, "Karate".[12] On February 25, 2016 (2016-02-25), a teaser for the album was released on the channel, featuring the song "Karate", which had been released as an airplay single the same day. The album was released to music stores in Japan on March 29, 2016 (2016-03-29), three days before the worldwide release date.[13] On April 5, 2016 (2016-04-05), the band performed "Gimme Chocolate!!", from their debut album Babymetal on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, marking their first appearance on television in the United States.[14] On September 14, 2016, the limited edition of the album was re-released in commemoration of returning to Japan on the Babymetal World Tour 2016: Legend Metal Resistance, packaged with a paper jacket.[15]

Tour

On December 13, 2015 (2015-12-13), a YouTube video was posted on the band's official channel for the previously untitled album, announced with its April 1 release dubbed "Fox Day". Simultaneously, a 2016 world tour was also announced, with its planned final performance date at Tokyo Dome. The tour was set to begin at Wembley Arena on April 2, 2016 (2016-04-02), the day after the album's worldwide release, and end at Tokyo Dome on September 19, 2016 (2016-09-19).[16][17] On July 4, another date was announced for Tokyo Dome, extending the tour to September 20.[18]

Singles and other songs

[edit]

The song "Road of Resistance" was previously released as a digital single on February 1, 2015 (2015-02-01), and afterwards as a bonus track on the band's debut album Babymetal. It peaked on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart at number 22.[19] On February 25, 2016 (2016-02-25), "Karate" was released as an airplay-only single in the United States,[20] and its music video was uploaded on YouTube on March 17, 2016 (2016-03-17).[21] The song charted at number two on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart.[22] Su-metal described the song: "has not only Babymetal vibes, but also has Japanese elements. … Its lyrics portray a strong will to go on, no matter what happens in your life. We play shows with strong wills so we can relate with the lyrics in "Karate." We'll be delighted if listeners can feel positive energy by listening to this song."[23]

A music video of "The One" filmed during the show Babymetal World Tour 2015 in Japan: The Final Chapter Of Trilogy – Act II at Yokohama Arena premiered in the United States on Billboard.com,[24][25] and later made available on YouTube on March 26, 2016 (2016-03-26).[26] According to Su-metal, fans of the group are collectively referred to as "the one".[27] The song, along with "Tales of The Destinies" was initially a single track in production, and has a motif reminiscent to "We Are the World".[3] The song was released in three versions, a Japanese version, an English version, and a stripped down English version.[24] Concerning the English version of the song available on the "Out of Japan" edition of Metal Resistance, Su-metal explained: "Many people from different countries have asked us if we ever plan to sing an English song. We're extremely happy that we now have an English song that we can all sing together."[23]

Prior to the album's release, the Su-metal solo "No Rain, No Rainbow" was performed during the concerts Legend "1999" Yuimetal & Moametal Seitansai and Legend "Doomsday" Shokan no Gi, each with a live video release. The melody draws inspiration from X Japan and Billy Joel. According to Su-metal, the song "could have been recoded [sic] for our first album, but I didn't really understand the content of its lyrics when I first sang this song three years ago. However, by performing this song at our shows, I found myself developing not only its vocal techniques, but also ways to express my emotions through this song in the process of my growth. I think "No Rain, No Rainbow" has grown into what it is now because of my experience performing the song at our shows."[23] Kobametal stated that prior to the release of the album, the song was only performed those two times, because he found it rather difficult to perform without supporting stage production.[3]

Additionally, "Awadama Fever" was performed at the live show Legend "2015" New Year Fox Festival in 2015, which was filmed and released via Blu-ray to "The One" fanclub members. Written by AA= band member Takeshi Ueda, the song is considered to be a pop crossover, along with "Gimme Chocolate!!" and "Doki Doki ☆ Morning".[3] "Yava!" premiered during the band's Babymetal World Tour 2015 at Makuhari Messe on June 21, 2015 (2015-06-21), which became the band's biggest show at the time, with approximately 30,000 attendees.[28] Between that performance of the song and the release of the album, Kobametal felt the need for rearrangement of the music, such as the removal of death growls from the chorus.[3]

Metal Resistance received generally positive reviews from music critics, with most praising the vocal performance of the band members. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 74, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on eight reviews.[29] Rock Sound critic Gav Lloyd wrote that the album addresses the wackiness of their debut album that "really came at the expense of truly great songs" and "seamlessly flits from one brilliantly bold idea to another with no dips in quality".[8] A review by Kerrang! described the album as "As we say, brilliant fun. And shot fired."[29] Jon Hadusek from Consequence of Sound wrote that the band hones "a fusion of technical metal, dance music, and power pop that’s both competent and emotionally invigorating", calling "Karate" and "From Dusk Till Dawn" essential tracks.[1]

Phil Mongredien of The Observer called the album "rule-breaking", with praise for "GJ!" and "Sis. Anger", but criticism towards the "formulaic" "No Rain, No Rainbow" and the English lyrics of "The One".[34] Alternative Press wrote that while the album's "musical textures and tropes can grow repetitive--Babymetal's aggressive enthusiasm and sincerity are impossible to resist."[29] Tim Sendra from AllMusic claimed the record was made, in comparison to their debut album, "in favor of a heavier, more serious approach", and although he praised the performance of the three girls, he claimed that "their collaborators let them down."[30] Jordan Bassett of NME praised the J-pop drawn "Amore", but called "Meta Taro" repetitive and concluded that the band's "adherence to the aforementioned formula can be quite boring".[33]

The album marks a continuation of the band's style, which fuses aggressive heavy metal instrumentation with vocals and choreography performed by teenage idols. Comprising 12 tracks with a total runtime of approximately 54 minutes, Metal Resistance was produced by (also known as Key Kobayashi) and features contributions from heavy metal musicians such as and of on the track "." Key singles include "," an aggressive opener emphasizing themes of self-empowerment and breaking barriers, and "The One," the band's first original English-language song celebrating unity in the metal community. The album was issued through various labels, including BMD Fox Records and in , earMUSIC in , and RED Associated Labels (RAL), an imprint of Sony Music Entertainment, in the United States. Metal Resistance received positive reviews for expanding on Babymetal's debut by giving more prominence to their live backing band, Kami Band, while maintaining the group's high-energy, genre-blending appeal. It debuted at number 39 on the chart, number 15 on the , and topped the Billboard World Albums chart. The release was supported by the extensive World Tour 2016: Legend Metal Resistance, which included performances across , Europe, and Asia, culminating in two sold-out shows at in September 2016—making Babymetal the first all-female group to headline the venue.

Background and development

Conception and influences

Following the success of their self-titled debut album in 2014, sought to evolve their sound and narrative, transitioning toward a bolder exploration of genre fusion to challenge established boundaries in music. Producer envisioned this next phase as a "metal resistance" against , emphasizing the band's role in bridging disparate musical worlds and fostering among fans globally. This shift was inspired by the group's experiences during their extensive world tour, which began shortly after the debut's and highlighted the universal appeal of their idol-metal hybrid. Central to the album's conception was Kobametal's concept of "The One," portrayed as a unifying force that transcends metal subgenres and cultural divides, drawing from the band's lore of the Fox God selecting performers for a greater purpose. As prophesied by the Fox God, the album was scheduled for release on , 2016, known as Fox Day. Influences included heavy metal pioneers like for their rebellious spirit, alongside Japanese pop culture's idol traditions, which fused to create a distinctive, motivational aesthetic aimed at inspiring listeners worldwide. Initial ideas for Metal Resistance crystallized in 2015 amid preparations for the ongoing world tour, where the band encountered diverse audiences and refined their vision for broader accessibility. Su-metal noted that the album reflected two years of growth, incorporating "new and different types of metal" to mature their sound while maintaining positive, uplifting lyrics. This period underscored the emphasis on global unity, with Moametal describing music as a "common language" to connect fans, aligning with Kobametal's goal of pushing toward innovative possibilities beyond their debut.

Recording process

The recording of Metal Resistance took place from mid-2015 to early 2016, marking a shift toward more organic instrumentation compared to the debut album's reliance on programmed elements. This timeline encompassed contributions from the Kami Band, emphasizing live-feel rhythms and guitar work to support the album's "metal resistance" ethos of pushing genre boundaries. Kobametal led the production as the album's visionary force, overseeing arrangements that blended high-energy metal foundations with the group's signature idol aesthetics. Recording duties were handled by Watametal and Adrian Breakspear. Key techniques included multi-layered vocals stacked atop aggressive riffs, creating a dynamic contrast that defined tracks like "" and "." These methods required meticulous balancing to maintain clarity across the diverse subgenres explored. A major challenge during production was transitioning from the debut's synthesized backing tracks to fully integrated live band elements, necessitating extensive experimentation to replicate the energy of Babymetal's evolving stage presence. This involved rigorous auditions for new Kami Band members, ensuring the session players could deliver the technical prowess needed for the album's ambitious scope while aligning with the group's performance demands. The process tested the team's ability to fuse idol precision with metal intensity, ultimately resulting in a more cohesive and expansive sound.

Music and lyrics

Musical style

Metal Resistance represents an evolution of Babymetal's signature sound, fusing idol aesthetics with heavy metal subgenres including , , and symphonic elements, while incorporating electronic flourishes such as breakdowns and rhythms. The album's core sound blends high-energy riffs and pummeling rhythms typical of speed and with danceable dynamics and sugary, high-pitched vocals delivered by Su-metal, Yuimetal, and Moametal. This fusion is exemplified in tracks like "," which features hyperspeed guitar work with double-kick drums at 205 BPM, and "Sis. Anger," incorporating orchestral swells through sweeping synths and strings. The instrumentation centers on the Kami Band's heavy guitars, bass, and drums, providing a robust metal foundation that contrasts sharply with the group's layered, candy-coated idol vocals.

Themes and songwriting

The central theme of Metal Resistance revolves around "metal resistance" as a metaphorical rebellion against rigid musical conventions, portraying as chosen warriors in a prophetic to unite fans worldwide under the banner of a new metal era. This concept draws from an apocalyptic metal lore where the Fox God selects the trio to combat conformity in both pop and metal genres, evolving into a saga of cosmic battles and restoration of metal's spirit. The album's overarching story emphasizes unity through the "The One" prophecy, which envisions fans as a collective force filling a "human void" to propel the resistance forward, first unveiled during live performances to foster a global community. Songwriting for Metal Resistance was led by producer , who crafted primarily in Japanese interspersed with English phrases to enhance accessibility and appeal to international audiences, blending J-idol whimsy with metal's intensity.

Representative tracks exemplify these elements: "KARATE" symbolizes unyielding inner strength and rebirth, with lyrics urging perseverance through trials—"Even if tears spill from our eyes, we must keep fighting"—evoking a ritualistic shedding of past weaknesses in line with the resistance's themes of empowerment. "Amore: Sweet Demon" unfolds as a seductive rock opera ballad, weaving romantic longing with demonic undertones to explore love as a defiant force piercing gloom, where words of amore echo across the cosmos to ignite passion and unity. Similarly, "Meta Taro" critiques virtual escapism via a folk-metal framework, drawing on heroic folklore to contrast illusory digital worlds with the authentic communal power of metal, encouraging listeners to harness real-world bonds for strength.
