Chris Kelly

Chris Kelly

Chris Kelly was one of the central pieces in the consolidation of the Kami Band of the West. As a guitarist linked to high technical level proposals within contemporary metal, his presence brought a very precise, modern, and powerful sonority, perfectly suited to sustain BABYMETAL's international expansion. What is interesting about Kelly is that he well represents the profile of the Western faction: musicians accustomed to heavy stages, complex repertoires, and extremely controlled execution. His incorporation was a clear signal that BABYMETAL did not improvise its global growth; it planned it with musicians capable of responding to the highest standard. Within the project's history, Chris Kelly can be read as one of the guitarists who helped translate the historical intensity of the Japanese Kami Band to the scale of modern large international tours.
