Japanese metal idol unit BABYMETAL today unveiled their latest venture, a self-titled record label “BABYMETAL RECORDS” in collaboration with 5B Artist Management, which will be focusing on US audiences. Working closely with 5B Artist Management, the same company that handles internationally known groups such as SLIPKNOT and MEGADEATH, the dealing allows the group access to Records and Cooking Vinyl, the pressing and distribution company that handles talent such as Marilyn Manson and The Prodigy.
The news comes just one week before the group kicks off their North American tour on May 8 in Kansas City, MO at the Uptown Theater. Perhaps best known internationally for hit songs such as “Gimme Choco” and “Karate,” the group has been making their way around the international circuit for quite some time. There’s currently not much else known in way of the record labels dealings, though we’re sure more will be revealed in the near future. Further information on the label can be found via the official website.
