Evanescence has hit a career-defining milestone: “Afterlife,” a track featured on Netflix’s animated Devil May Cry series, has climbed to #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart—the first time the band has ever topped this chart.
The Power of Soundtracks: Devil May Cry & Beyond
“Afterlife” debuted in April 2025 as part of Netflix’s animated Devil May Cry series. The track’s rise to the top also reflects Evanescence’s shift toward multimedia music projects:
- Amy Lee recently teamed with K.Flay on the powerful “Fight Like a Girl” for the Ballerina film soundtrack.
- This dual presence in gaming and film is expanding the band’s reach—and keeping their sound fresh and relevance.
What’s Next?
With “Afterlife” marking a new high, fans can likely expect more experimental releases, visual-heavy projects, and potential new music announcements later this year. Their ability to resonate across generations continues to cement their place as a force in modern rock. Amy Lee has stated in an interview that the new album should be released early next year.
