The metal world is buzzing after three of its most influential female vocalists shared a striking photo together on social media. Poppy, Spiritbox‘s Courtney LaPlante, and Evanescence‘s Amy Lee posed together in what appears to be a studio or backstage setting, all dressed in black and looking characteristically fierce.

The timing and professional quality of the photo has fans speculating about potential collaborations, especially given the recent activity around all three artists.

The relationship between these three vocalists runs deeper than this single photo. Courtney LaPlante has previously cited Amy Lee as a major influence. The connection became even more apparent earlier this year when LaPlante was mistaken for Poppy during a Grammy Awards red carpet interview – a mix-up that both artists handled with humor and grace, highlighting the camaraderie within the metal community’s female-fronted scene.

Rise Records has commented the photo – would this be a significance of a new track that features the vocalists? Or a joint tour?

Whether this photo represents an upcoming collaboration or simply mutual admiration between peers, it symbolizes something important in the metal scene. These three women represent different generations and subgenres of heavy music, yet they’ve found common ground in their artistry and influence.

For fans, the image represents a dream collaboration that would bring together Evanescence‘s gothic grandeur, Poppy‘s experimental edge, and Spiritbox‘s modern metal innovation. The fact that they’re comfortable enough to pose together suggests a level of mutual respect and potentially shared creative vision.

While no official announcement has been made about any collaboration, the timing and circumstances surrounding this photo have certainly captured the metal community’s attention. With Amy Lee working on new Evanescence material and expressing openness to collaborations, and given the professional relationships already in place, fans may not have to wait long to see if this photo represents something more substantial.

Until then, the image serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and diversity of female voices in modern metal, and the potential for creative partnerships that transcend generational and stylistic boundaries.
