Get ready for more insanity - 'Gimme Chocolate' rock sensations BABYMETAL have announced details of their long-awaited second album, METAL RESISTANCE. 

The record will be released on 1 April, which they have now dubbed 'Fox Day', and comes ahead of their massive show at London's Wembley Arena

On the new album, band mastermind KOBAMETAL stated: “As prophesied by the FOX GOD, a new album will be released on April 1st, 2016, also known as the FOX DAY. Since the release of BABYMETAL’s debut album in 2014, we have been racing across the globe non-stop on our World Tour. Through the last tour I have come across people from all over the world and have had the chance to feel that miraculous moment when everyone came together via BABYMETAL.

 "Our new song 'THE ONE' contains lyrics that speak of uniting the world, or a crowd favorite at concerts “Road of Resistance” that never fails to bring our fans together, every BABYMETAL song makes up this extraordinary story. I continue to believe that the songs of BABYMETAL continue to push them forward to discover new possibilities. All I can say right now is for all of you to wait patiently for the coming of the FOX DAY.”

The tracklist is as follows: 
1. Road Of Resistance
2. KARATE
3. Awadama Fever
4. YAVA!
5. Amore
6. Meta Taro
7. From Dusk Till Dawn
8. GJ!
9. Sis. Anger
10. No Rain, No Rainbow
11. Tales Of The Destinies
12. THE ONE - English ver. - 

After absolutely dominating the main stage at Reading + Leeds Festival this weekend, the Gigwise favourites and Japanese metal idol rockers will be playing the biggest UK headline gig of their career in April 2016 - and it's going to be one for all time. 

"One thing that Babymetal really pride themselves on is the fact that we strive to be the only one doing this," Su-Metal told Gigwise last year. "We are a combination of pop idol meets heavy metal, and you don't see a lot of people doing that. It's usually one or the other. That's what putting us apart and that's what people connect to."

Prepare for history to be made. BABYMETAL play Wembley SSE Arena in London on Saturday 2 April 2016. Tickets go on sale at 10am on 2 September. For tickets and information, visit here
