The ladies of BABYMETAL have turned in yet another collab, this time with Indian metal band, Bloodywood. As of now, the full audio track is available on Bloodywood's channel. Anxiously awaiting the full MV drop which, going by past experience, should be by about midnight tonight.
Meantime, I'm posting the YouTube trailer link which is very anime inspired. The catch phrase is "fear is a choice (but the choice is mine)". This concept and the music sound more serious than dance poppy. The track is mostly metal featuring a lot of male harsh vocals amidst a driving, relentless heavy rhythm with what sounds like SU's clean vocals seemlessly blending in to smoothen the tone, backed with MOA and MOMO's harmonies. The ladies' voices are rather electronically processed, perhaps for an ethereal effect, contrasting the grounded and growly male voices. The bridge features a clear traditional stringed instrument, though with the electronic effect it's hard to tell which one. Drums out, SU gets a beautifully rendered verse to herself. This is one high energy song meant to inspire and encourage, like "Leave It All Behind" but with less didactic lyrics. Well, less didactic English lyrics, anyway.
Have to tune in again later to match the visuals to the audio for a better picture of what this collab is all about. I don't know what "Bekhauf" means, and for now I don't want to find out. Could this song be the intro to a new anime series? The trailer suggests a story that could be epic.
