WILLOW is hoping to add an alt-metal icon to her list of collaborators.
Speaking with Kerrang!, the "Transparent Soul" artist shares that she would love to do a song with Deftones frontman Chino Moreno.
"He's so amazing," WILLOW says.
Deftones is among the many metal influences on WILLOW's upcoming album,
"I love Lamb of God," WILLOW says. "I love Straight Line Stitch -- they're a great band. Also, the main singer of that band is a Black woman, which I really, really love. Crowbar is an amazing band."
"Obviously Radiohead -- I wouldn't call them metal, but they were definitely a huge inspiration for this album," she adds. "And I've been listening to a lot of Primus, and I love Les Claypool."
will be released this Friday, October 7.
Deftones, meanwhile, will headline their annual Dia de Los Deftones festival on November 5 in San Diego. The bill also includes Turnstile and Phantogram.
