“The End” Scores Internationally
The End
On Saturday, Vocalist Ivan Moody and guitarist Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch joined Japan’s Babymetal during the latter’s sold-out Intuit Dome show in Los Angeles to celebrate their collaborative single “The End” reaching #1 on the Japanese iTunes Metal chart. In addition, it’s the first song featuring Japanese lyrics to chart on U.S. Rock radio, where it has landed the Top 5.
The artists received a special plaque recognizing the cross-cultural breakthrough.
“This was such an amazing way to celebrate a collaboration that turned into a chart-topping moment for both of us,” noted Bathory.
“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,” shared Babymetal vocalist Su-Meta. ” I sang Japanese lyrics inspired by the original lyrics of ‘The End’ and spent a lot of time experimenting to find the voice that best fit such a deep, cool track.”
