Making the New Track for Devil May Cry was a Joy

​Amy Lee, the renowned vocalist of Evanescence, has long held a deep affection for video games, particularly The Legend of Zelda series. Growing up in the 1980s, she experienced the evolution of gaming firsthand, starting with Atari titles like Pong and Toobin’. The introduction of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) into her household marked a pivotal moment, especially with the release of Super Mario Bros. 3. However, it was The Legend of Zelda series that truly captured her heart. Amy and her younger siblings became enamored with Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64, followed by Majora’s Mask. Her passion for the franchise continued into recent years with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which she enjoyed alongside her ten-year-old son, integrating gaming into her daily relaxation routine.

Amy’s musical journey has also intertwined with the gaming world. She was honored to contribute to the Gears 5 soundtrack by recording a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.” The project began with her involvement in the game’s trailer and expanded into a full-length version of the song, showcasing her enthusiasm for blending music with interactive entertainment. ​

In a recent collaboration, Amy recorded the track “Afterlife” for the Devil May Cry anime series on Netflix. This opportunity allowed her to delve into the series’ dark and intense themes, resonating with her musical style. Amy immersed herself in the project, dedicating nights to binge-watching the series to fully capture its essence in her music. She expressed immense satisfaction with how “Afterlife” was integrated into a particularly significant episode, feeling honored by the producers’ use of her song.

Through these endeavors, Amy Lee continues to bridge her musical talents with her gaming passions, enriching both realms with her distinctive artistry.​

Amy Lee Confirms New Album Material for Evanescence

Amy Lee Confirms New Album Material for Evanescence

Big week for emos everywhere, as Evanescence’s Amy Lee has confirmed that a brand new single titled “Afterlife” and its accompanying lyric video will be released this Friday. That bit of news comes along with the reveal that she’s also working on some new material for an upcoming Evanescence album.

“Afterlife” is a new single co-written by Lee and composer Alex Seave. The track will feature in the new Netflix Japanese anime series based on the hit video game franchise Devil May Cry — joining Lee’s captivating vocal delivery with an enchanting otherworldly visual style.

In an interview with Audacy Music, Lee discussed more about this new release and how it came together and how it relates to new material for Evanescence.

“[We are] very excited to have new music. This is the first of many [new tracks]. We are working on a lot of songs right now for the new album, but this came up through Netflix, and we were just really excited to have an excuse to get in there right away.”

In 2023, Evanescence shared a remix/remaster of their critically acclaimed debut studio album, Fallen, in celebration of its 20th anniversary. It’s been four years since the music industry has heard a new full-length project from Evanescence, so this news surely comes with plenty excitement for fans.

Although new Evanescence material is officially on the cards, Lee urges that they “don’t have a date for you. We are just working. We got off the road in November or something, and we’ve been just creative.” [SOURCE]

Evanescence To Release One New Song Before April 2020 Tour

Amy Lee has spoken to “Loudwire Nights” about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the long-awaited follow-up to the band’s 2011 self-titled effort.

“This has been something where we are all in there together for most of the time so far,” she said (hear audio below).

“We’re in there with [producer] Nick Raskulinecz right now, who we’ve worked with before and loved working with before. He produced our self-titled album, which is really our favorite album. He also mixed [EVANESCENCE’s recent cover of the FLEETWOOD MAC song] ‘The Chain’.

“We’ve been in there kind of working as a team,” she reiterated. “The songs came from all different places. They’re not all in the same vein.

“We’re working on four songs right now. Originally, we were gonna go in there and just do two. I just wanna kind of do a few songs at a time, keep writing, go in and do a few more, release ’em one by one. But once we opened the can of worms, it kept growing. ‘Oh, we can’t do this one and not do this one. We have to do four.’ So, it’s four. So we’re working double hard to get it all done with the time that we have. But it’s going really great.” [Full Article]

Evanescence Listed as one of the Most Anticipated Rock Albums Of 2020

There was some controversy when Billboard announced the songs, albums and artists that performed the best on the rock charts in 2019 (and throughout the past decade), as some of them didn’t fit squarely into what many people call “rock.” While that’s a debate for another time, many of the most exciting titles that should blast through speakers for the first time in 2020 couldn’t be described any other way.

It’s now been nine years since Evanescence released an album of original material, and fans have waited long enough to hear what perhaps the most successful hard rock band of the past two decades has been working on. [Read Entire Article]

According to Amy Lee the album should be out in 2020 but no definite information has been provided at this time. We will keep you updated as more information because available to us.
