We are officially going into the studio to record our third album next month. I'm beyond excited and will keep you up to date along the way!

Early Announcements

Since the end of the bands tour for the The Open Door there had been speculation when Evanescence would be releasing their next album.Early official announcements were made in regards to a followup to 2006's The Open Door where Amy herself had noted that she has begun writing material and the third album was expected sometime in 2010.


Vin1.jpg We're currently working on new material that I'm extremely excited about. I believe that to make great music you have to give yourself the freedom to evolve. I don't see the point in making the same record twice, so I always want to challenge myself to make something better, stronger, and more interesting than before. That takes time, but it's worth the wait for me. Hopefully, it will be for the fans too. Look out for new music next year... Vin2.jpg

Vin1.jpg There's been a lot of writing going on this summer and I'm starting to get really excited. My good friend Will happens to also be a great producer, writer and programmer (lucky for me!) and we've been slaving away at some pretty interesting stuff lately... I'm not giving anything away just yet. Terry and I have been working together this week at my place just like old times and life is pretty good Vin2.jpg


Twitter

Since Evanescence's emergence on Twitter, various "Tweets" since have indicated the band have been writing and recording demos for the next album. On November 22, 2009 the band released a short jamming session video on the internet that contained a sample of one such demo.

Musical Style/Direction

In early announcements about the bands followup to The Open Door Amy spoke briefly about songs she had been writing but not necessarily for Evanescence.

Vin1.jpg I need to show that I’m more than a one trick pony. I'm writing here at the house by myself and it's been really good. But I'd really like to do something different next. [The new songs] are definitely different. I feel like I'm going back to my really old roots. They have more of my folky and Celtic influence than ever before. And it's not all sad -- it's nothing I would categorize as Evanescence. Vin2.jpg

In later posts on Evthreads as of 2009 she gave a vague indication of what new material for Evanescence could sound like

Vin1.jpg I don't want to give away too much about what it will sound like, because so much will change before the end, but its... not what you would expect. Its definitely not happy married music, but its not like I'm dying the whole time either. Its dark, sarcastic, fun, strange, familiar and very different at the same time. Vin2.jpg

Your Love

A new song titled Your Love was performed acoustically for an episode of "Legends and Lyrics" expected to air sometime in 2010. It is unknown whether it will be released independently of the Evanescence project or not.
