Babymetal's Collaboration Dreams: Aiming for Amy Lee After Conquering Metal Legends
Babymetal has been on a collaboration spree, and their ambitious journey continues to captivate fans. In a recent exclusive interview with Metal Hammer, Su-metal, the co-founding vocalist, revealed her admiration for Amy Lee, the iconic frontwoman of Evanescence. She expressed her desire to create a song with Lee, a dream collaboration that has fans buzzing with excitement.
But here's where it gets interesting: Babymetal has already checked off some major names from their collaboration bucket list. In 2025, they joined forces with Five Finger Death Punch, Bloodywood, and Tom Morello, leaving fans in awe. And now, they're setting their sights on Amy Lee, a long-admired artist in Su-metal's eyes.
"Amy Lee is an artist I've looked up to for ages," Su-metal gushed. "I'd be thrilled if we could create something together." This statement is sure to spark curiosity and anticipation among fans of both artists.
The interview also shed light on Babymetal's collaboration with Five Finger Death Punch on the re-recording of their song, 'The End'. Su-metal explained how they were invited to participate in the band's 20th-anniversary project, recalling their previous encounter at an overseas festival in 2015. She described the process of writing Japanese lyrics inspired by the original and finding the perfect vocal style to match the song's depth.
"My favorite part is when my voice transitions into Ivan's growl..." Su-metal shared, highlighting a captivating moment in the song. This attention to detail and passion for collaboration is what makes Babymetal's journey so captivating.
Meanwhile, Amy Lee has also been busy with collaborations, including the metal crossover hit 'End Of You' with Poppy and Spiritbox's Courtney LaPlante. However, Evanescence's busy schedule, including a world tour in 2026 and a new album in the works, might make a collaboration with Babymetal a challenging endeavor.
As Babymetal continues to push boundaries and Evanescence prepares for a massive year, fans are left wondering: Will these two metal powerhouses find a way to unite their unique sounds? And what musical magic might they create? Stay tuned, as the metal world eagerly awaits the next move from these trailblazing artists.
