It’s a good day to be a BABYMETAL fan! Fresh from the unveiling
of the duo on our spring issue of the magazine, talking about their highly-anticipated
return, the band have also just dropped a new single: Light And Darkness.
The track is taken from BABYMETAL’s upcoming album THE OTHER
ONE, which is due out on March 24. Speaking exclusively to Kerrang! about the themes of the
record, SU-METAL explains that it “revolves around the idea of perception in
that what you see and understand may only reveal one side of the truth. Therefore,
it dives into exploring the ‘other side’.”
“Through the parallel world called the METALVERSE, THE OTHER ONE
restoration project began,” continues MOAMETAL. “THE OTHER ONE is comprised of
10 myths and it reveals the BABYMETAL that we’ve never encountered before. It
is a multiverse story that transcends several dimensions from the past, present
and future. And the concept album THE OTHER ONE consists of 10 tracks that were
based on each of the 10 themes that have been discovered along the way. Some of
the songs transcend time and space, restoring our voices that have been
recorded in the past and merging them with our current voices.”
