Evanescence Releases New Album 'Synthesis (BMG) Today

The two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning group EVANESCENCE have today,(November 10) released their new album SYNTHESIS(BMG). The new album is a reimagining of some of EVANESCENCE's best-loved songs--as well as a couple of new ones--recorded with a full orchestra and electronics combined with the band and AMY LEE's virtuosic piano and voice.

EVANESCENCE--lead singer-songwriter and pianist AMY LEE, bassist TIM MCCORD, drummer WILL HUNT, lead guitarist/backing vocalist TROY MCLAWHORN and guitarist/background vocalist JEN MAJURA--are currently their U.S. and Canadian "Synthesis Live" tour. It features AMY LEE and the band embedded with a live 28-piece orchestra and electronic programming, delivering a transcendent experience. Critical acclaim is already pouring in for this unique concert event (see below).

Living up to its name, SYNTHESIS is a combination of organic and synthesized sounds featuring LEE's virtuosic singing and piano playing, supported by her band and a full symphony orchestra performing arrangements by long-time collaborator, orchestra arranger and composer David Campbell as well as an array of electronic music programming and effects engineered by the band, co-producer William Hunt and programmer/mixer Damian Taylor (Björk, The Killers & Arcade Fire). The album features two new EVANESCENCE songs: the first single "Imperfection" and "Hi-Lo," the latter of which includes a guest performance by famed violinist Lindsey Stirling. Watch the video for EVANESCENCE's first single "Imperfection"--which REVOLVER magazine described as "an emotionally-charged epic that confronts mental illness and suicide head on" (9/15/17)-- HERE and the behind-the-scenes video story and interviews HERE.
