Babymetal (SOtD MCXLV)

Babymetal is a Japanese teenager band that mixes high speed Industrial Metal with the Idol japanese culture.
Actually, Babymetal started as a sub-group inside a major Idol music group, but it's huge success granted them a life of their own.

The band is not considered "real Metal" by many, and the band have even been blacklisted in Metal portals.
The point of view of this blog on te subjct is the following:
- I agree that Babymetal is not a proper Metal band (at least not yet), as it's constituted by three teenagers that don't compose the songs;
- But their music is definitely Metal;
- To someone whose goal is to have the whole world listening to Metal music, having a different band that can bring new people to the genre, is always a good thing.
