The 2025 Game Awards, held on December 11 at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, saw standout wins for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hades II, and Donkey Kong Bananza among others — but the event wasn’t just about trophies.

In a highlight moment, Evanescence took to the stage in front of the expectant crowd for a special live performance of “Afterlife” — their atmospheric track from the Devil May Cry Netflix adaptation.

The band delivered a powerful rendition, with Amy Lee’s impeccable vocals soaring over the dramatic instrumentation and bursts of flame effects that lit up the stage. Backdropped by visuals from the series, the performance captured the perfect blend of cinematic intensity and rock energy, bringing one of the year’s most compelling tracks to life in spectacular fashion.

Evanescence Earns First No. 1 on Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay with “Afterlife”

Evanescence Earns First No. 1 on Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay with “Afterlife”

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.

Amy Lee and Halsey Ignite Hollywood Bowl Stage with ‘Hand That Feeds’ Debut

The Hollywood Bowl concert was a prime example of the evolving world of music, where artists in different genres come together to create remarkable moments. Halsey’s alternative pop finds away to combine with Evanescence’s evening of gothic rock and The Warning’s hard rock energy created a convergence of experience that could be enjoyed by many types of fans.

The partnership between Halsey and Amy Lee marks a personal milestone for Halsey, who has admired Evanescence since childhood. While promoting her 2024 album, “The Great Impersonator,” Halsey honored her influences by dressing as 18 of her musical heroes, including recreating the iconic “Fallen” album cover by Evanescence. Referring to Amy Lee as her “OG dark rock queen,” Halsey even shared a nostalgic childhood photo featuring her wearing an Evanescence t-shirt, noting affectionately, “I wore that shirt into the ground.”

Directed by Len Wiseman and produced by Chad Stahelski of the original John Wick films, “Ballerina” also stars Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves alongside Ana de Armas.

Evanescence’s contribution to “Ballerina” follows their recent release, “Afterlife,” from the Netflix series “Devil May Cry,” which premiered live for the first time during their electrifying Hollywood Bowl performance. [Source]
