Japanese metal band Babymetal released the album Metal Resistance in 2016.
Metal Resistance is Babymetal’s second studio album, following the self-titled Babymetal, which arrived in 2014. It was released in Japan on March 29, 2016, and received a wider international release on April 1 through earMusic and associated labels. The record continued the group’s combination of heavy-metal styles, pop presentation and choreographed performance.
The album included “Karate” and “Road of Resistance,” both prominent songs in Babymetal’s catalog. “Road of Resistance” features guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman of DragonForce, a collaboration that helped connect Babymetal with the international power-metal scene.
Listeners sometimes confuse the answer with X Japan or Loudness, both important Japanese rock and metal acts. Band-Maid is also Japanese, but Metal Resistance belongs to Babymetal’s discography and is not an album by any of those alternatives.
