Babymetal will be touring to promote their 2023 album The Other One, released to positive reviews.
Metal Hammer journalist Alec Chillingworth gave The Other One a glowing 8/10 score.
“Now they’re not shoved down your gullet on every festival stage or website available, it’s easier to appreciate [Babymetal] for what they are: an experiment that’s gotten out of hand,” wrote Chillingworth.
“The Other One is nigh-on no-filler, and unquestionably their strongest compendium of delirium to date.”
Scene Queen, meanwhile, is gearing up to release her debut album Hot Singles In Your Area, out on June 28 via Hopeless Records.
The album’s latest single, Whips And Chains, was released on May 30.
The bimbocore pioneer will also perform at Download Festival in Donington, UK, next week.
