This Throwback Thursday, we’re revisiting Evanescence’s powerful self-titled album era, released in October 2011. Marking a significant moment in the band’s history, this album showcased a revitalized sound and deeper lyrical introspection from Amy Lee and her bandmates.

One standout moment from this era was their electrifying live performance at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil, held on October 2, 2011. Amy Lee, dressed in striking gothic attire, delivered an intense, passionate set that captivated thousands of fans in attendance and millions more watching globally.

A key highlight was their performance of “What You Want,” the dynamic lead single from the self-titled album, which exemplified Evanescence’s evolved sonic approach with energetic rhythms and powerful vocals.
