Conception

Amy Lee announced the new album project, "SYNTHESIS", by uploading a video to Evanescence's official Facebook profile on May 10, 2017 entitled: Album announcement: SYNTHESIS [1].

Amy explained that the reason for the title of this album is

Vin1.jpg due to the combination, the contrast, the synergy between the synthetic and the organic. Also the past and the present. Vin2.jpg


Amy further explained in the same video announcement that

Vin1.jpg this album is about about orchestra and electronica. We're taking our music, stripping out the big distorted guitars, stripping out the rock drums, and we're replacing it with full orchestration in a completely synthetic world of beats and sounds. We've gone through our entire catalog of music and picked out the songs that are made to be heard in this way, and we are sewing them together from the ground up. This isn't a remix - we're not pulling things out and putting it out - we're starting from the ground, up. With different tempos, different parts, with intros and outros, segues, and new pieces. Putting this all together like one big piece of music - like one big classical piece - or sort of like a soundtrack actually. In a lot of ways it sounds like the soundtrack of my life! Vin2.jpg


Amy also stated

Vin1.jpg in addition to the all the Evanescence songs that you already know, there are also going to be two completely new and original compositions. Vin2.jpg


The orchestra, which will be a full orchestra (meaning woodwinds, brass, strings harp, etc...) will be directed by Campbell, David, who arranged the string pieces for Fallen, The Open Door and Evanescence (self-titled album).

There will be a tour with a full orchestra. This tour is called Synthesis Live and has dates in North America and Canada in 2017 and dates in 2018 for Europe and the UK.

It is rumored to be released around November 10, 2017 according to an interview that Amy Lee gave to the British site The Sun[2]

A new era begins. A new album is on the way.
