No, not one of those Lullaby Albums that spin your favorite Rock into sweetness so you can at least enjoy it a little while you're rocking(the motion) you critter back to sleep(hopefully) at 3am. It's also not actual babies playing Metal. But it's close.
Baby Metal is a Trio of very young Japanese Girls fronting a sick metal band dressed in skeleton body suits. They forge a mix of what sounds like European style Power Metal and Thrash with J-Pop Vocals into an alloy dubbed "Kawaii Metal". Yes, it's a gimmick, but it also weird's me out. That's a quality I look for in music. I see this spreading to the Western Nations and being marketed as "Cute-Core". Demonic Hello Kitty-esque. Satanic My Little Pony. If Jessie from the Disney Channel did a project with Dimmu Borgir. Let the video impale you with sweetness.
I love Japan. They come up with some of the greatest, weirdest sh*t ever. But baby metal? This is one of the worst things I have ever heard. Japan...some of the crazy game shows and things you do is brilliant. But this pedophiliac, let's objectifying women as little girls thing - that you have now turned into trying to make ACTUAL little girls as sexy metal goddesses thing has got to stop.
Super creepy.
