BABYMETAL unveil METAL FORTH deluxe edition and 2026 world tour

BABYMETAL add remixes and live cuts to METAL FORTH as 2026 tour takes shape

BABYMETAL have released METAL FORTH (DELUXE EDITION) digitally via Capitol Records, expanding last year’s album with three live performances and two remixes of from me to u (feat. Poppy), including new versions from Major Lazer and Jordan Fish.

The deluxe edition lands with the band still riding the sharp-edged, high-gloss aftermath of METAL FORTH, the record that debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and gave BABYMETAL their first US Top 10 album. It also became the first release by an all-Japanese-fronted group to reach that level on the chart.

Remixes, live cuts and a vinyl pre-order

The expanded set folds in live versions of from me to u, My Queen and Algorism, alongside the Major Lazer and Jordan Fish remixes. The vinyl edition is also available to pre-order, with the album and streaming links available here.

The original album featured a guest-heavy line-up that linked BABYMETAL with Electric Callboy, Slaughter To Prevail, Bloodywood, Polyphia, Spiritbox and Tom Morello. The deluxe edition keeps that collaborative blur intact while adding a few extra live wires to the package.

For listeners who want the full track run, the record is split across two discs:
