Look at this video and explain to me why there is a big statue of Our Blessed Mother. I was scratching my head thinking that is the strangest thing to have up on stage.

I also find it strange how heavily they are being promoted. You have the Fine Brothers promoting them on one of their videos (youtubers react to baby metal) and of course their tour with Lady Gaga and all these festivals.

I also found it strange how they say they are not flashing the devil horns sign but "the fox".

In Japanese legend the fox is a trickster and a shape shifter and demons take the form of a fox. So it IS the same sign.

Then there is this interesting quote.

SU-METAL, “When I was performing in the idol group, that felt like it was kind of my real self, but with BABYMETAL, it’s like I transform! So there’s this other world—this other me.”

Gee, where have I heard that before...

Beyonce says that another person takes over for her on stage allowing her to do things she couldn't do. She calls that "Sasha Fierce".

Their song title “Megitsune” literally means “female fox,” but it has another meaning as well in popular Japanese culture: a crafty woman, with both vengeful and helpful female fox spirits often appearing in traditional Japanese Noh theater.

There is something really dark and evil about this band. I won't have anything to do with them.

Their families should have known better.

Notice the satanic symbol on this album? Notice the Pentacle (star with circle) on the two sides of her outfit? This pentacle which the symbol of a spirit or energy being evoked is drawn.

Their use was to "fore-know all future things, & command whole nature, have power over devils, and Angels, and do miracles." - Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa
