I saw Babymetal live at Download this weekend and they were rubbish :P
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
I think, because their stuff turns into pop when they start singing, they picked the songs that have the least singing in for more metal. However, that still has an adverse effect because they're doing their dances and stuff when they aren't singing but us metalheads don't really take interest in that.What I had the most qualms with was the surprising lack of emphasis on anything. The singing was lacklustre, the instrumental backings were terribly generic/lacklustre and the dancing was bland, even for a metal-centric festival.
dunno why everyone has strong opinions about them either way, i guess it's just the prominence of their marketing

Shame it's all in moon runes.
i dunno why but this band strikes me as the best of the "progressive melodeath" bands like Be'Lakor and In Mourning.
Got any recommendations like this lads?
