Behind the Setlist was thrilled to get a brief interview with Su-metal, Moametal and Momometal from the band Babymetal after their triumphant show at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Nov. 1.

For the uninitiated, Babymetal is a Japanese heavy metal band fronted by Su-metal, Moametal, Momometal and and backed by a four stellar musicians. Babymetal's music is genre called kawaii metal, which means cute metal -- it makes sense when you consider the band is fronted by three females who sing and dance like a Japanese idol group. Heavy metal is typically a male-dominated genre, so the kawaii metal approach is something different for Western audiences. But Babymetal has won over fans, playing countless rock and metal festivals as well as their own headline shows across the U.S. and Europe. The group’s latest album, Metal Fourth, debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 album chart and features guests Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Courtney LaPlante (Spiritbox), Electric Callboy and Bloodywood.
