Last year BABYMETAL concluded their 10-year journey which culminated in the celebration of the revered Japanese metal band with the vinyl release of their retrospective album, 10 BABYMETAL Years. Later they released a cryptic video that announced BABYMETAL would be “sealed” from the world until further notice.
