And thus, the Babyklok Tour has ended.

After almost two months and over two dozen shows later, BABYMETAL and Dethklok have gone from coast to coast and then some.

We are finally at the long-awaited tail-end of the BABYMETAL/Dethklok Tour.  The US-based tour began at the end of August and runs through mid-October.

Sabaton just announced that BABYMETAL will accompany them for the European leg of The Tour to End All Tours, beginning in April 2023. They kick things off in the United Kingdom on April 14. BABYMETAL and Lordi will support Sabaton as they make their way across Europe.

During the PlayStation Showcase, Gearbox revealed an awesome headbanging trailer for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands that features the song "Gimme Chocolate!!" by BABYMETAL.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands appears to be a standalone spinoff from the main Borderlands series. Instead of the post-apocalyptic wastelands on other planets, players will be a part of Tiny Tina's chaotic tabletop gaming session in a fantasy setting featuring magic and guns.

This is a developing situation. We will give you updates as soon as they are available.

All may not well be in Babymetal land. At the beginning of the month, "BABYMETAL RECORDS" was officially formed, the band dropped a thrashing new single yesterday called "Distortion", and a new album based on the "THE CHOSEN SEVEN" concept looked to be the natural direction.  Everything was looking up for their US tour until tonight's opening concert in Kansas City which had one big problem: Yui is missing. 

Japanese band Babymetal is a polarizing one for metal fans but they still have a die-hard fanbase. They're a combination metal and Japanese idol act; for those of you not familiar with idols it might be easier to think of the group as female-fronted metal. Whatever the case may be, fans do not have too many opportunities to see them in America. That changed this year with the announcement of a proper tour and a slew of dates to go with it.  Most recently Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles were announced.

My Sunday began at the San Diego Comic Con. By nightfall it ended at the feet of Babymetal. These idols turned metal princesses are some of the youngest that you will see on stage and have gained plenty of attention in the last year where they went from a national act to an international one in no time flat. They've sold out the Budokan, played festivals like Japan's Summer Sonic and UK's Sonisphere, and now they're on US soil; the invasion has begun.
