There have been a ton of collaborations lately in the world of rock music but today we get one that might be the least expected. BABYMETAL lend their voices to this rerecorded version of ‘The End’ which will be released in the second installment from Five Finger Death Punch’s rerecorded Best Of Volume 2. This collection will be released on October 24th and will feature 16 rerecorded tracks and 3 live tracks.
This is what SU-METAL had to say about how this unlikely collaboration came to be.
“We were invited to take part in a 20th-anniversary collaboration project featuring guest artists on past songs. Five Finger Death Punch and BABYMETAL had performed at the same festival overseas back in 2015, so I was really happy thinking they might have remembered me from then. 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 favorite 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 hope listeners will enjoy that moment as well.”
