Or is that Babydragon? Either way, the girls of Babymetal got together with guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman of DragonForce to write a song called “Road of Resistance.” We detailed that last year, but now the song is available for streaming via a trailer.

Guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman star in a commercial promoting the retail bank’s new mobile app service. Does watching the Dragonforce guitarists shred in space make you want to use Capital One for online banking? Probably not, unless Slayer […]
