BABYMETAL and Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox perform “My Queen”

On November 1st, Spiritbox vocalist Courtney LaPlante performed the song “My Queen” live for the first time with the kawaii metallers BABYMETAL, as reported by theprp. Even though BABYMETAL had already performed the song three times, their performance at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, yesterday night was the first time they were able to execute the collaboration live as planned. That joint song was published as a single from BABYMETAL‘s most recent album, “METAL FORTH,” in August of last year.

METAL FORTH also debuted at #10 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut U.S. Chart and #2 on the U.S. iTunes Download Album Chart. In Japan, the album entered at #1 on the Oricon Rock Chart, #1 on the Digital Albums Chart, and #3 on the overall Oricon chart. Internationally, the album landed Top 10 in Germany, a career-best after charting at #24 with “THE OTHER ONE” and #18 with “METAL GALAXY”. It also broke the Top 20 in the UK and achieved career-high positions in the Netherlands and France.

Meaning “beyond metal,” “METAL FORTH” is a bold and boundary-pushing album that reimagines the future of the genre, serving as a fearless leap into its evolution. They most recently put out a new music video for the explosive track ‘My Queen‘ (feat. Spiritbox). The record also features collaborations with Poppy, Tom Morello, Bloodywood, Electric Callboy, Polyphia, and Slaughter to Prevail – artists BABYMETAL has connected with while touring the globe. Previously released singles include ‘Kon! Kon!‘ (feat. Bloodywood) ‘RATATATA‘ (with Electric Callboy), ‘from me to u‘ (feat. Poppy), and ‘Song 3‘ (with Slaughter To Prevail).

METAL FORTH follows 2019’s METAL GALAXY (which entered the Billboard charts at #13), and THE OTHER ONE, their 2023 concept album. PAPER said, “On THE OTHER ONE, the band cracks open the Metalverse, surfing through parallel universes and a dizzying maze that tests their perceptions of truths, lies, and what rests beyond the darkness.”
