New Music & Video Release - BABYMETAL And Slaughter To Prevail Drop Collab Track 'Song 3'

---

Artist Name: BABYMETAL, Slaughter to Prevail

Release Name - Song 3

Release Date - 29th May 2025

Genre - Metal

Label - UMG Recordings, Inc.

BABYMETAL and Slaughter to Prevail have released a new single, Song 3. The song will appear on BABYMETAL's upcoming album METAL FORTH as well as on Slaughter to Prevail’s upcoming album GRIZZLY. It’s one of the Japanese metal bands most forceful tracks to date, pairing Slaughter to Prevail’s raw, punishing vocals with BABYMETAL’s soaring, melodic choruses. The result is tense and theatrical, but tightly controlled—a balancing act the band has long specialized in. The song was written between the UK and Russia by Slaughter To Prevail’s Jack Simmons and Alex Terrible before being sent special delivery across continents for BABYMETAL. BABYMETAL added their vocals — lyrics, flows, and verses all centered around the concept of “3” — unleashing their signature kawaii chaos. Matt Heafy of Trivium performed the shamisen woven throughout the song, adding another unexpected layer to the madness.

The accompanying music video follows a young version of Slaughter to Prevail’s Alex Terrible, bullied and outcast, as he transforms— guided by BABYMETAL themselves—into a force capable of confronting his past. The track follows the release of BABYMETAL’s from me to u feat. Poppy and Slaughter to Prevail’s “Russian Grizzly In America”, both of which amassed millions of streams in less than month.

Meaning “beyond metal”, METAL FORTH features further collaborations with Spiritbox, Tom Morello, Bloodywood, Polyphia and Poppy—artists that BABYMETAL has connected with over the years while touring the globe. Their massive track RATATATA with Electric Callboy, which has already attained millions of streams across all platforms, will also be included Pre-order / pre-save METAL FORTH HERE. See below for track listing.

On May 30, BABYMETAL will conclude their 2025 UK & Europe Tour with the finale taking place at The O2 Arena in London. BABYMETAL is the first Japanese group to headline a show at this iconic venue. The band will kick off its biggest North American tour yet in Houston on June 13—with support from Black Veil Brides, Jinjer and Bloodywood on select dates.
