BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy create dance metal havoc in ‘RATATATA’

Fox God favourites BABYMETAL join Germany’s electronicore moshers Electric Callboy for party metal banger ‘RATATATA’.

Officially released on May 23rd, ‘RATATATA’ is the most recent in the slew of BABYMETAL collabs in recent years. The track is filled with Electric Callboy’s dance-metal style, and features vocalists Kevin Ratajczak and Nico Sallach taking it in turns to sing and scream along with the BABYMETAL girls. Almost feeling like a mini-throwback to ‘Doki Doki Morning’, the track is more pop-heavy and an undeniably danceable tune.

BABYMETAL commented “Unbeatable! Let’s ‘Fu Fu’ together with RATATATA”

Electric Callboy said of the track “Working with BABYMETAL was so much fun. We joined our creative forces and, in the end, we brought together the best of both worlds. We love RATATATA!”

Prior to the full video release, the teaser video alone racked up over 450,000 views in its first week. On release day, over 18,000 viewers tuned in to see the full video premier on YouTube.

As expected of Electric Callboy, the video is a comedic disco romp- a far cry from BABYMETAL’s more recent serious tone. Featuring more wall crashes, dancing, and disco balls than you can shake a stick at, the video is the least serious it could be, in the best way possible.
