Babymetal , stylized in all caps, is a Japanese kawaii metal band formed in Tokyo in 2010. It consists of Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal", Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal", and Momoko Okazaki as "Momometal". The band is produced by Kobametal from the talent agency Amuse Inc. Their vocals are backed by instrumentation performed by a group of session musicians known as the "Kami Band".

Vira (Boise, Idaho) is a female rock vocalist and songwriter of Mexican-American descent. Her first single, I Don't Care, was released on September 24, 2021, a track that would bring her further recognition, and her first EP, Till' Death Was Never Enough, was released on August 4, 2023. The band begins with Vira and Blank (bassist), who worked together on a couple of songs and then moved to Dallas. There they met Matt and Anthony (both guitarists) thanks to Vira's announcement on her social networks, communicating that she needed members to form her band. Thus forming the particular sound and name of the band, VIOLENT VIRA.
