The group is working on their third album – a follow up to their 2006 album The Open Door – and singer and pianist Amy Lee said the sound of the album will more away from their established rock and classically influenced sound. Amy told Spin.com: “It’s going in an electro-pop direction — there are no organic instruments. It’s a Portishead or Massive Attack direction, and lyrically it’s about moving on, but in a very non-confrontational, non-angry way.” Amy, 28, has also assembled a new line up for the group- consisting of guitarist Terry Balsamo, bass player Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt and a programmer who is also called Will Hunt – after all the original members left between 2003 and 2006 and formed rival band We Are The Fallen. Amy said there will be elements of the turmoil she went through with the former members of the Bring Me To Life rockers on the new record. She added: “There’s a lot of bull***t related to that band name for me, but I’m ready to move past it. I’ve realised that Evanescence is who I am. “There are moments of, ‘Hey, I’m over it and I’m good’ and others of fun sarcasm like, ‘Hey, everything’s not the most dramatic thing in the world’ on the new record. “But it gets really, really, really deep in places, too. That’s probably why it’s been really hard to pick an album title. Lyrically, it’s a more real version of myself. I’m saying things that I would’ve been afraid to say before.” Evanescence’s third album is set for release in Autumn this year. Source: MusicRooms.net & EvanescenceVille | |

Evanescence singer Amy Lee is over the drama. “There’s a lot of bullshit related to that band name for me,” Lee tells SPIN.com, “but I’m ready to move past it. I’ve realized that Evanescence is who I am.” She’s not kidding about the bullshit. Since their 2003 Grammy-winning, multi-platinum debut Fallen rocketed the Little Rock, AR, natives to world stardom, the group have been plagued by in-fighting and lineup changes, beginning with the departure of co-founder Ben Moody. In a very public 2006 spat, the last remaining original members — guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray — left or were fired, and soon joined Moody to form We Are the Fallen with ex-American Idol finalist Carly Smithson on vocals. Evanescence is also moving on. The goth-rock outfit will release their first album since 2006 this September, with a new lineup — and a new sound. Lee, guitarist Terry Balsamo, bassist Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt, and the band’s newest member, producer, songwriter, and studio whiz Will “Science” Hunt (that’s right — the band has two guys named “Will Hunt”), are recording the album in a New York studio with producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, Rolling Stones). And they’re taking Evanescence’s characteristically heavy, goth-rock sound in an electro-pop direction inspired by Lee’s favorite bands: Massive Attack, Bjork, and Portishead. “The album has sounds that are distorted, changed, reversed,” says Lee. “There’s a lot of that fun stuff going on.” Continue reading… | |
