Listen: Halestorm's Lzzy Hale joins forces with Apocalyptica on 'Talk To Me'
A superb collaboration
Finnish symphonic metallers Apocalyptica have joined forced with Halestorm singer Lzzy Hale on their new single ‘Talk To Me’.
Pure musical alchemy, ‘Talk To Me’ melds Lzzy’s powerful rock vocals with Apocalyptica’s cello-infused metal to brilliant effect.
Explaining how the collaboration came about, Lzzy Hale says: “Apocalyptica and I have for years talked about doing something together, and the last time I saw Eicca Toppinen, in Helsinki, Finland during the 2019 Tuska Festival, he brought up the idea that we finally make that talk a reality.
“I’m so excited for the world to hear this song! Thank you so much to the entire Apocalyptica camp for being a part of our family all these years and for including me in this project!”
Apocalyptica cellist Eicca Toppinen adds: "After years of friendship we are more than happy to release a song together with the amazing Lzzy of Halestorm!
“This song has been in our minds for quite some time and we have been waiting for the right moment to finish it, and getting Lzzy to join us and perform in her outstanding way was a dream come true! We want to thank Lzzy and the whole Halestorm team for their great work and friendship."
