Evanescence Update!

Says Amy Lee, lead singer of Evanescence, of their upcoming album:

“I know that seems weird to say, but I wouldn’t be here in the studio making another record if I didn’t think it was going to be better than anything I’ve ever done.”

“It wouldn’t be an Evanescence album if it didn’t sound somewhat like Evanescence,” explains Lee, who’s incorporating the harp, which she learned to play between albums, in several of the new songs. “I feel like our band has always had programming and inspirations from Bjork and Depeche Mode and Massive Attack and that kind of thing”

“It’s not like we’re making one of those records; it’s just, like, that is playing a bigger role in the sound of Evanescence this time. Those little nuances and hints come in in ways that are cool. The sound that we’re going for as a group is to fuse synthetic instruments with organic instruments and create something that sounds like a whole new place. It just sounds larger than life.”
