Evanescence Premieres New Song ‘Even In Death’

Evanescence fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the band’s publicists have confirmed that they are working on new music. As part of their upcoming box set that will be releaed on February 17th, Evanescence has released its first studio recording since 2011 titled “Even In Death.”

Frontwoman Amy Lee has said in past interviews that while they are working on their new record, it will have a more unorthodox release. “There is some new Evanescence stuff that we’re starting at, but it’s not exactly the most traditional thing . . . there’s something else that’s a little bit special and different and (that is) gonna take you down a different path that we wanna try.”

EVANESCENCE Working On New Music

According to Amy Lee‘s publicists at Mercenary Publicity, the EVANESCENCE singer and her bandmates are currently in the studio working on new music, expected later this year.

Lee hinted in an interview with AOL last fall that the band was gearing up to make new music, but that it might not take the form of a traditional album release. Lee explained: “We have some new little plan in store, but I don’t wanna give it away yet. But there is some new EVANESCENCE stuff that we’re starting at, but it’s not exactly the most traditional thing. It’s not just, ‘Okay, we’re gonna make a new album right now.’ Not that that’s not coming, but first there’s something else that’s a little bit special and different and [that is] gonna take you down a different path that we wanna try.”

Lee said a while back that she doesn’t use record sales as a gauge for success these days. “Well, you just can’t judge it the same way you used to and by the same model,” she explained. “Having people hear and connect to your song isn’t directly linked to record sales, that’s for sure. I think it may be more accurate to look at how many views on YouTube or something. I’m cool about it. We’ve had a lot of success in the past and that’s awesome. I don’t look at it like this daunting thing that we have to live up to, I look at it like this really positive, awesome thing that wouldn’t have been able to happen if we’d come out for the first time this year.”

Lee also told AOL that EVANESCENCE is “really having a good time as a band right now. Everybody’s just gelling really well together and playing really well together.”

Welcome Back

We are back. Amy Lee Fans is a brand new fansite for Amy Lee of Evanescence. We are formally known as Amy-l.net! The site is still under construction but we will be working extra hard to get it all done ASAP!

I am the same Admin who ran the original website and was really sad to have shut down the website a few years ago. We found an awesome new host and I have decided to try and dedicate more time to providing you all with everything Amy lee! We are also looking for anyone who wants to help us out with the website. You can contact me here for more details!

Amy Lee has released a new Solo Track

It’s called ‘Love Exists’, and was created as an ‘interactive valentine’.

What’s that? Well, you can head here, listen to the song, choose some art to accompany it and then send it to whoever you like for Valentine’s Day.

Here’s the song:

N’aww.

Love is anything but simple,” Amy has commented.

“…it manifests itself in countless forms. It can be inconvenient. Painful. Easier to ignore than to trust. But we are still connected, despite how alone we feel sometimes. Can we be brave enough to love, knowing it’s going to hurt? Can we drop our cynicism long enough to see beyond the frustrations, the discontentment, the fear of the unknown and the anger for all we can’t control?”

“Love is all around. Even in the darkest places. And it is worth everything. Look out, look in. Love exists.”

Her next single ‘Speak To Me’ is released April 28. [Source]

Amy Lee on Facebook “Speak To Me”

When I was in Italy filming the video for “Speak To Me,” I fell in love with a song I heard on the radio there. L’amore Esiste by Francesca Michielin. It seemed to follow me everywhere, got under my skin and just wouldn’t leave. I couldn’t stop listening to it, over and over the whole way home. I started piecing together what the lyrics meant and wrote my own twist on them in English. I showed my idea to one of my dream producers, Guy Sigsworth, and somehow convinced him to come to New York and re-create the song with me. Dave Eggar contributed his lush string arrangement and we all just lived in this song for a week at Flux Studios on the lower east side.

What an incredibly fulfilling experience it was to make this beautiful thing. And with such a talented, down-to-earth, and inspired team- with no rules or limitations beyond the ones we created. Guy pushed me in new ways and I learned a few things. It was a unique honor to work beside someone I admire so much on something that at the time had no plan, no album to go on, and made no sense other than how good it felt. It’s easy to get bogged down by the “point” sometimes, when what matters most in my opinion, in music-making, is following your heart. Finding a way to satisfy that deep need to express something that can’t be said with words alone.

Love is anything but simple. And it manifests itself in countless forms. It can be inconvenient. Painful. Easier to ignore than to trust. But we are still connected, despite how alone we feel sometimes. Can we be brave enough to love, knowing it’s going to hurt? Can we drop our cynicism long enough to see beyond the frustrations, the discontentment, the fear of the unknown and the anger for all we can’t control? Love is all around. Even in the darkest places. And it is worth everything. Look out, look in. Love exists.

Jen Majura Is Thankful

In a brand new interview with Greece’s Rock Overdose, EVANESCENCE guitarist Jen Majura was asked if there are plans for the band to record a new album as a follow-up to 2011’s self-titled effort. She responded: “Well, you know, I am the European part of EVANESCENCE. Amy [Lee, EVANESCENCE singer] and the [other] guys are overseas, and… To be honest, from what I can tell, we mainly focus on the touring for this year, which is, first of all South America in spring and Europe in summer… and something else. [Laughs] But I guess… I think Amy said in one of her interviews that she’s already working on new music. You never really stop working on music, because you get inspiration from every moment in your life. So it could be, like, you’re travelling in your car and then you get a great inspiration or idea, and maybe you just pick that up later — like months later or years later — or you find cool stuff on your computer which you recorded, like, gazillions of ages ago, and that might be something… So you never really stop being creative. And, from what I can tell, I think she’s already collecting and working on music. So, we’ll see.”<

Jen also talked about what it has been like to join EVANESCENCE in August 2015 as the replacement for Terry Balsamo. She said: “[To be] honest, I’ve never been, like, one of those insane EVANESCENCE fans. Of course, I knew the music — everybody does — and I love the music, and I bought the CDs, and I listened to the songs, and I sang along… But being able, and thankful for being able, to be one part of this band is… It’s hard to describe it in words, because… I do not see it as a job. Of course it’s work, but, for me, mainly, after I got to know all the guys really [well], [it’s] mainly fun, because we really get along very good. Even if we’re not on the road touring, we keep texting each other and talk on Skype and stuff, and it’s really a very, very mature, friendly relationship that we have, with a lot of respect for each other. And playing those shows… One can never understand the feeling f how it is to stand on stage together with those guys, because they’re just so talented, creative, great musicians, and we’re just having so much fun on stage, andI think the people can see that.

“Coming back to Europe has been a high priority for us and we are very excited for the shows this summer,” said vocalist Amy Lee.
