BABYMETAL has announced the release of their fourth original album, "METAL FORTH," set to drop worldwide on Friday, June 13, 2025. This marks their first original album since 2019’s "METAL GALAXY" and follows their 2023 concept album, "THE OTHER ONE."

Titled "METAL FORTH," meaning "beyond metal," the album features collaborations with artists the band has connected with over the past decade while performing worldwide. Notable tracks include "METALI!! (feat. Tom Morello)" and "RATATATA (BABYMETAL x Electric Callboy)," along with new collaborations such as "from me to u (feat. Poppy)," composed by former Bring Me the Horizon member Jordan Fish, and "My Queen (feat. Spiritbox)," a collaboration with the Canadian metalcore band.

Other tracks include "Song 3 (BABYMETAL x Slaughter to Prevail)," featuring the Russian death metal band, "Kon! Kon! (feat. Bloodywood)," blending Japanese and Indian tribal music, "Sunset Kiss (feat. Polyphia)," a city-pop metal track, "KxAxWxAxIxI," a rap metal song by DAIDAI from Paledusk, "Algorism," a nostalgic metal track, and "White Flame -白炎-," concluding their melodic speed metal series.

To support their expanding global presence, BABYMETAL has also announced the establishment of BABYMETAL WORLD LLC in the United States and signed a global deal with Capitol Records. Tom March, Chairman & CEO of Capitol Records, commented, "BABYMETAL’s groundbreaking sound and artistic vision have shifted global music culture.
