EVANESCENCE RELEASE SELF TITLED ALBUM
Following a three-year sabbatical after the multi-platinum, worldwide success
of their sophomore effort, The Open Door, Grammy Award winning band Evanescence,
have released their third self titled studio album. Produced by Nick Raskulinecz,
(Foo Fighters, RUSH, Stone Sour, Alice in Chains, Deftones), it was recorded in
Nashville's famous Black Bird Studios earlier this year. The album is released
via Wind Up Records on CD and as a digital download. There will also be deluxe
CD and digital editions featuring additional content.
According
to Evanescence front woman Amy Lee, "We can't wait to show everyone what
we've been working on! We've been finding ourselves, reinventing our sound, experimenting
with things we've never done before and at the same time embracing the things
we love most about Evanescence. This journey has made us the strongest we've ever
been as a band, and I am in love with the music. Nick Rasculinecz is the perfect
fit for this record."
The inherent drama in Evanescence's
music - a kind of audio odyssey that can turn on a dime from piano-led introspection
to hammering guitar - has resonated with listeners everywhere. The music's core,
which ranges from beautiful to subtle to aggressive, finds a counterpart in Lee's
passionate vocals, lyrics that forge a connection with audiences searching for
identity or struggling with feelings of desire, hope love and loss. Sales of the
band's first two albums are more than 24 million worldwide with over 600,000 in
Australia alone.
With what some call a meteoric rise to the
top, Evanescence's first album Fallen brought the band to global success, selling
more than 17 million copies. It spawned two Top 10 singles, "My Immortal"
and "Bring Me To Life," and two Grammy® Awards in 2003 (Best New
Artist and Best Hard Rock Performance for "Bring Me To Life").
