Amy Lee, Courtney LaPlante, and Poppy Release Anticipated Metal Single

Evanescence’s Amy Lee, Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante, and Poppy have joined forces for a highly anticipated metal collaboration titled End Of You, released on September 4, 2023. The new single is now available alongside a dramatic music video that showcases the vocal talents of these three modern metal icons.

The excitement surrounding End Of You began to swell on August 26, when the three artists shared a group photo on their social media accounts, igniting fervor among their dedicated fanbases. This was followed by short clips from the music video posted on each of their accounts on August 28, further building anticipation. The official release is under Sumerian Records, which also features artists like The Smashing Pumpkins and Slaughter To Prevail.

Collaborative History and Upcoming Tours

The collaboration between Poppy and Spiritbox is not entirely new. Last year, Poppy performed the track Soft Spine with Spiritbox during their set at the Louder Than Life festival held in the United States. Additionally, at the Grammy Awards in February, LaPlante was humorously confused for Poppy during a red carpet interview, a moment that quickly gained traction online.

In concert news, Evanescence has announced a series of North American headline shows scheduled for September 2023. These concerts will take place between a performance supporting My Chemical Romance and another at Louder Than Life, with Poppy joining as a supporting act. This will provide fans with a unique opportunity to witness the powerful performances of both Poppy and Evanescence live.

New Releases and Future Projects

Poppy’s latest album, Negative Spaces, was released last year via Sumerian, while Spiritbox’s second album, Tsunami Sea, debuted in March under Pale Chord/Rise. Meanwhile, Evanescence is actively working on a new album, tentatively set for release in 2026. The band has already released two singles this year, Afterlife and Fight Like A Girl, although it remains uncertain if End Of You will be included in the upcoming album.

With the release of End Of You, fans are encouraged to watch the intense music video that accompanies the single, showcasing the combined artistry of these three talented musicians. The collaboration not only marks a significant moment in the careers of Amy Lee, Courtney LaPlante, and Poppy but also highlights a growing trend of partnerships among leading figures in the modern metal scene.
