WTF is this, BMTH and Babymetal performing Kingslayer! Smoke up first!

Alright, let’s get into the depths of musical alchemy with “Kingslayer,” a monumental collaboration between Bring Me The Horizon (BMTH) and BABYMETAL that’s been rattling the senses of the metal community. Crank up the volume, ignite the senses (with whatever helps you vibe), and prepare for a journey through an audacious blend of metalcore ferocity and kawaii metal charm.

From the get-go, “Kingslayer” detonates into your eardrums with a barrage of electronic elements, setting a frenetic pace that’s both exhilarating and somewhat disorienting – in the best way possible. BMTH has always been at the forefront of pushing boundaries within the metalcore genre, but with BABYMETAL’s inclusion, they’ve dialed the unpredictability factor up to eleven.

The track is a masterful chaos of genres, melding the growling intensity of Oli Sykes’ vocals with the pristine, high-energy delivery of SU-METAL and MOAMETAL. The contrast is nothing short of electrifying, creating a sonic duality that’s as compelling as it is unique. The lyrical content, diving into themes of rebellion against corruption and tyranny, is delivered with such conviction that it’s impossible not to be swept up in the rallying cry.

Instrumentally, “Kingslayer” is a maelstrom of crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and synth-driven landscapes that feel like a cybernetic battlefield. BMTH’s prowess in crafting infectious melodies shines through, even as they intertwine with BABYMETAL’s signature blend of J-pop and metal, resulting in a soundscape that’s both aggressive and absurdly catchy.

The production on this track deserves a nod as well, managing to balance the sheer intensity of the instruments with the varied vocal performances, ensuring that nothing is lost in the cacophony. It’s a tightrope walk of dynamics, and the production team executes it with finesse.

In essence, “Kingslayer” is a defiant anthem of resistance, a collaborative effort that transcends language barriers and genre confines to deliver a message of empowerment. It’s a testament to the evolving landscape of metal, where traditional boundaries are being obliterated in favor of innovation and fusion.

So, light up, lean back, and let “Kingslayer” take you on a relentless ride through the future of metal. It’s a bold, brash statement piece from BMTH and BABYMETAL that not only showcases their individual strengths but also their collective power to break new ground. Vicious Shred? More like viciously shredding the rulebook and setting the stage for what’s next in the ever-evolving saga of metal music.

Lyrics

hi  
are you looking for the other side?  
feel like nothing ever seems quite right?  
are you circling the drain pipe, 
getting off on pain like  
you’re corrupted? 
i need to know where your loyalties lie  
tell me are you gonna bark or bite?   
do you really want to twist the knife  
in the belly of the monster?  
get the fuck up  
wake the fuck up  
wipe the system 
and back the fuck up.  
you’re a puppet  
when they cut your strings off 
don’t come crawling back.  

kingslayer  
destroying castles in the sky  
kingslayer  
forevermore the apple of my eye  
i’d sacrifice my life to find you  
angel of the blade  
kingslayer  
come and collect us from the night  

暗い (Cry) 
 この見えない世界 
 まだ消えない未来 
 ただ手に入れたい  

another world  
this world is so dark that i can’t see  
the future won’t disappear  
but i want to obtain  
another world 

system failure   
life 
is encrypted  
you are modified  
like a virus  
in a lullaby  
artificial ‘til the day you die  
silly programme 
you’re corrupted!  
get the fuck up  
wake the fuck up  
wipe the system 
& back the fuck up.  
you’re a puppet  
when they cut your strings off  
don’t come crawling back  
you’re on your own.  
 
さあ 時の 
扉を開けて 
行こうよ 

(now, let’s go 
and open the door of time) 

kingslayer  
destroying castles in the sky  
kingslayer  
i’ll fight for you until i die  
kingslayer  
destroying castles in the sky  
kingslayer  
forevermore the apple of my eye  
i’d sacrifice it all to guide you  
never have to battle alone  
kingslayer  
come and collect us from the night  
this is your wake up call  
we’re going down the rabbit hole  
are you ready?  
i can’t feel you.  
is this what you want?  
this is what you’ll fucking get.
