Everybody’s favourite Japanese schoolgirls will be continuing to ride their wave of popularity with a brand new album coming very soon!

Following off the instant hit debut of the self-titled ‘Babymetal‘, the band will force more J-pop-metal down your throat with a opus entitled ‘Metal Resistance‘. No word as to what this album is going to sound like, but the Japanese music industry does enjoy trickling information at a glacial speed.

The album will be released on April Fools Day (hmmm), April 1st, so all questions, mainly if this is a sustainable metal band, will be answered! The release will be followed by a short U.S. trek with the dates below:

May 4: New York, NY – Playstation Theater
May 7: Philadelphia, PA – Electric Factory
May 8: Concord, NC – Carolina Rebellion Festival
May 10: Silver Spring, MD – The Fillmore
May 11: Detroit, MI – The Fillmore
May 13: Chicago, IL – House of Blues
May 14: Somerset, WI – Northern Invasion Festival
