Originally a subunit of tweenage girl-group [[Sakura Gakuin]], BABYMETAL was created around Suzuku Nakamoto, but was spun off into a separate band in 2013 when Nakamoto graduated from junior high and had to "graduate" from Sakura Gakuin as well. They released their eponymous debut album in February 2014, although they have been circulating tracks since 2010. Their formal debut as a group was at the August 2012 Summer Sonic, one of Japan's largest rock festivals; with an average age of 12 at the time, BABYMETAL was the youngest act to ever perform there. During their appearance at the 2013 Summer Sonic a year later, members of [[Metallica]] reportedly came to see them perform. In Spring 2014 they gave two concerts at Budokan, making them the youngest female act to ever do so.
In Summer of 2014 they embarked on a world tour, making their debut appearance in the United Kingdom at the Sonisphere Festival 2014. They performed on the main Apollo stage alongside bands such as [[Deftones]], Carcass and [[Iron Maiden]]. They played Heavy Montréal 2014 in Canada on August 9 alongside the likes of [[Metallica]], [[Slayer]], and teenage metal band Unlocking the Truth, and also performed at Summer Sonic 2014 in Japan on the Mountain Stage with bands such as [[Avenged Sevenfold]] and [[Megadeth]]. BABYMETAL was also the opening act
In 2015 they made numerous appearances in Japan and England, including the Download Festival, where they made a surprise appearance with DragonForce. They won a number of awards during 2015 as well, including ''[[Kerrang!]]'' magazine's "Spirit of Independence" Award, the "Breakthrough Award" from the ''[[Metal Hammer]]'' Golden Gods Awards, and "Best Metal Artist" from the ''[[MTV]]'' Video Music Awards Japan.
In 2016, BABYMETAL
