Animetal USA W (アニメタルUSA W, Animetaru Yū Esu Ē Daburu) is the second studio album by Japan-based American heavy metal band Animetal USA, formed as a tribute to Eizo Sakamoto's band Animetal. Released through SME Records on June 6, 2012, the album consists of a series of English language covers of popular anime theme songs. Unlike the previous album, Animetal USA sought out the input from their Japanese and American fans for suggestions on tracks to include on their second album and it also includes an original track.[1] "Give Lee Give Lee Rock Lee" is a collaboration with Hironobu Kageyama of LAZY and JAM Project. A limited edition release includes a bonus DVD[2][3][4][5]
The album peaked at No. 17 on Oricon's weekly albums chart, remaining there for eight weeks.[6]
