Babymetal celebrate 15th year

2026-01-05 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 8 Comments
Kawaii metal trio Babymetal have announced the first of their 15th anniversary celebrations with a re-recording of one of their first ever singles. "Head Bangya!! (15th Night version)" features new instrumentation and vocals in a refresh of one of their earlier J-Pop/metal fusion experiments. The session band recruited for this rendition of the track is as follows:

Guitars: NARASAKI (Coaltar of the Deepers)
Bass: Ahikisa Otani (Marmalade Butcher)
Drums: Shuhei Kamada (Imperial Circus Dead Decadence)

A special edition CD with extra bonuses will also be available for a limited time at a pop-up store in Shibuya, Tokyo. More events surrounding their 15th anniversary are expected to be announced through the year.

Also this version sounds like shit. Very weak guitar tone and dry production. How did they manage to make it worse than the original which already had bad production? Almost like they got inspired by In Flames or something
