BABYMETAL spoke to NME at Download 2024 about collaborating with some of biggest names in metal and their evolution over the past decade.The trio – comprised of founding members Su-Metal and Moametal, and new addition Momometal – caught up with us backstage at the Donington Park festival, shortly before they took to the stage for a huge performance on Saturday (June 15).It came on the heels of the band joining forces with Electric Callboy for the huge single ‘RATATATA’ last month – the latest of their many star-studded collaborations and their first track to make its way onto the US charts.“It’s only been a month since we shot the music video, so, it doesn’t feel real,” Moametal told us about the massive response to the song in America. “I still can’t believe it, but I had so much fun making it.
I’m so happy [with how it turned out] and so glad that many people have listened to it.”A post shared by NME (@nmemagazine)The track arrived after the band welcomed new member Momometal into the line-up, following the departure of Yuimetal in 2018.
Real name Momoko Okazaki, she joined having being a contestant on Girls Planet 999 and one of the band’s backup dancers since 2019.“We’re having fun together every day, she’s amazing – as is Su-Metal,” said Moametal. “I’m so happy to be working with them and so happy to be here.
