Babymetal eye Amy Lee collaboration
Babymetal have revealed they are keen to work with Evanescence singer Amy Lee.
Babymetal are eyeing a collaboration with Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee.
The Japanese metal girl group - comprising Su-metal, Moametal and Momometal - have worked with the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Five Finger Death Punch and Spiritbox and next on their wish-list is the Bring Me To Life hitmaker.
Su-metal told the new issue of Metal Hammer: “Amy Lee is an artist I have admired for such a long time.
“I hope we can collaborate with her someday.”
Elsewhere, Su-metal spoke about appearing on a reworking of Five Finger Death Punch's The End.
She said: “We were invited to take part in a 20th-anniversary collaboration project [for Five Finger Death Punch], featuring guest artists on past songs.
"Five Finger Death Punch and Babymetal had performed at the same overseas festival back in 2015, so I was really happy thinking they might have remembered me from then.”
The 27-year-old star loved how her voice "gradually got engulfed" by frontman Ivan L. Moody's "growl".
She continued: “I sang Japanese lyrics inspired by and based on the original lyrics of The End, and spent a lot of time experimenting to figure out what kind of voice would best suit such a deep, cool track.
“My favourite part of the song is the flow from the section starting with ‘Negai o kakete’ right after the chorus into the break – I loved how my voice gradually got covered and engulfed by Ivan’s growl, which gave me chills. I really hope listeners will enjoy that moment as well.”
