Babymetal, a band consisting of three Japanese schoolgirls dressed like Satan's little helpers, is far from Japan's weirdest musical act. Compared to eyeball enthusiast Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, shellfish impersonators Autopsy Report of a Drowned Shrimp, and the bodily function-sampling The Gerogerigegege, the group looks like a trio of Katy Perrys stuck in your local mall's Hot Topic. And while they've performed in the States, opening for Lady Gaga on the Artpop tour, they're finally ready for the mainstream and made their American TV debut on last night's Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote their new album, Metal Resistance.

The band combines sugar-high J-Pop chirping with heavy metal instrumentation: the former provided by a trinity of idol singers (Su-Metal, Yuimetal, and Moametal) and the latter by an unnamed backing band with a very Tim Burton-discovers-Butoh aesthetic. Watch them perform their earworm-y single "Gimme Chocolate!!" to a slightly confused but very entertained crowd.

Babymetal's sophomore album Metal Resistance was released earlier this month, and you can stream it and their eponymous debut album on Spotify.
