<\/div>\n

Evanescence<\/a> have previewed their first album of original music in nine years with new single, \u201cWasted on You.\u201d The group\u2019s fifth album, The Bitter Truth<\/em>, will be released later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWasted on You\u201d starts off slow and soulful, with singer Amy Lee detailing a relationship that keeps pulling her under. \u201cI don\u2019t need drugs\/I\u2019m already six feet low\/I\u2019m wasted on you\/Waiting for the bitter truth,\u201d she belts in her signature soprano. The song builds heavier and heavier, with the full band bringing their familiar gothic metal sound as it carries on. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were recording this music right up until we couldn\u2019t go into the studio anymore, and finished it remotely through file sharing and phone calls,\u201d Lee said in a statement. \u201cTweaking mixes, adding background vocals, creating the video and album art all from home has been like water in the desert for me, my light in a dark time. We are still writing and have a lot more work to do on this album, but this time we wanted to release the songs individually, as we create, to live more in the moment with our fans and our music.\u201d <\/p>\n

Evanescence\u2019s last metal album was their 2011 self-titled LP, which featured singles \u201cWhat You Want\u201d and \u201cMy Heart Is Broken.\u201d Following Evanescence<\/em>, Lee pursued solo projects. She collaborated with Dave Eggar on Aftermath<\/em>, the 2014 soundtrack for the film War Story<\/em> and followed the soundtrack with the EP Recover, Vol. 1<\/em>, a collection of covers. Her first official solo LP was 2016\u2019s Dream Too Much<\/em>, a children\u2019s album that featured a combination of original music and covers. <\/p>\n

In 2017, Evanescence returned, releasing orchestral album Synthesis<\/em><\/a>, which was also their first on new label BMG. The album mostly featured reworked versions of their old music, like breakthrough single, \u201cBring Me to Life.\u201d The band marked their return to rock last November with a cover of Fleetwood Mac\u2019s \u201cThe Chain<\/a>.\u201d They were due to go on tour this year, but the dates have been postponed until at least this fall due to the ongoing pandemic. <\/p>\n
