Metallica and Linkin Park to headline Sick New World 2025
Metallica, Linkin Park, Queens Of The Stone Age, Evanescence, Gojira, AFI and more… yep, the Sick New World line-up is looking incredible!
Halestorm leader Lzzy Hale is joined (remotely) by Evanescence singer Amy Lee for a beautiful duet.
As well as working on the band's own new music while in lockdown, Evanescence vocalist Amy Lee recently appeared on Raise Your Horns With Lzzy Hale for a beautiful duet of Halestorm's Break In.
Amy remotely joined in on the We Are Hear series for a wonderfully socially-distanced cover of The Strange Case Of…'s piano ballad, which the pair have performed live together before – and will be releasing a studio version of the collaboration in August (it was, they reveal, recorded before lockdown).

In addition to performing Break In, the two catch up and have a great discussion about the idea of being unapologetically themselves – an inspiring sentiment that Lzzy also chatted to Kerrang! about recently, too.
“I encourage my female peers, whether they’re musicians or not, to not pay any mind to people who don’t like them, or even those who do,” Lzzy said. “Someone might love me and another person might absolutely hate my guts, which they both have the right to do, but all that matters is what I think of me. Somebody could make a list of everything they want you to be and say, and you could be and say all those things, but that person still wouldn’t be happy. So you might as well just be yourself, unapologetically.”
Watch it all below, kicking off just after 43 minutes:
Last week, Amy revealed that Evanescence have “a handful of songs that are already mixed and finished and ready to go”, following on from recent single Wasted On You.
“I think so far the one thing that ties them together is it’s going to a place that’s even more raw,” she said of Evanescence's new material, with their upcoming album The Bitter Truth being released “incrementally throughout 2020”.
