BABYMETAL  dropped a new music video on Thursday for BxMxC, a track included exclusively on the Japan Complete edition of their third studio album METAL GALAXY that was not featured on the international release.

The fire track has been a huge hit at live shows, with the band’s first performance of it held during their concert METAL GALAXY WORLD TOUR IN JAPAN EXTRA SHOW LEGEND – METAL GALAXY which was held at Makuhari Messe on January 2020. The crowd went crazy, and have done so for every performance, including overseas where it had not been previously released—but as of Thursday, along with the music video, can now be listened to on Spotify outside Japan.

In BxMxC, Su-Metal shows off her hip-hop side with some sick flows, while Moametal provides her iconic screams, and both to the sound of a brutal beat.

The music video is the band’s first to be recorded in a studio since KARATE back in 2016. Check out the full video below.

BABYMETAL just dropped the trailer for their upcoming live DVD and Blu-ray LEGEND – METAL GALAXY, which is set to hit shelves on September 9, 2020.

The two concerts, held on January 25 and 26 this year at Makuhari Messe Internathional Exhibition Hall in Chiba, were added as extra shows to the Japanese leg of their ongoing “METAL GALAXY WORLD TOUR.” They performed for close to 50,000 fans across the two nights, with 24 songs making up the set list. The shows were themed around a “Metal Galaxy,” which is the title of their 3rd studio album, and which was split into two further themes for each night: Day one on January 25 was “World of Light” while day two on January 26 was “World of Darkness.” BABYMETAL threw out the idea of a generic set list with these concerts, instead option for performing both discs from METAL GALAXY, one for each night respectively.
