The Official Evanescence Thread

[AyUta]

It all sounds amazing, can't wait for it. Maybe me and my friend can go see her when she tours in the states, because I know for sure she's coming to San Jose.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

Won't be able to go to the Nashville show even though I really want to. Ugh money ;_;''

EVANESCENCE WILL PREMIERE WHAT YOU WANT LIVE ON MTV MONDAY 7:54 PM

Last month, MTV News premiered a sneak peek of Evanescence's brand-new single "What You Want," and the response from fans was overwhelming, to say the very least.

We went on to unveil snippets of two more songs from the self-titled album (out October 11) — the booming "The Other Side" and the ethereal "Lost in Paradise" — and each was met with the same strong enthusiasm ... so, we figured it was time to do something big. Really big.

And here it is: On Monday, at exactly 7:54 p.m. ET/PT, Evanescence will perform "What You Want" live — for the first time anywhere — on MTV. And immediately following that performance, the whole band will sit down with us for an exclusive interview and Q&A session that will stream live on MTV.com.

Of course, it wouldn't be right if we didn't include Evanescence's fans in all the fun, which is why we're asking you to submit your questions for the band via Twitter, using the hashtag #EVMTV. We'll pick the best ones and get their answers during our live stream.

And as if all of that wasn't enough, immediately following the live stream, we'll be posting the full album version of "What You Want" on MTV.com.

We're calling the entire event "MTV First: Evanescence," and it all begins Monday, August 8, at 7:54 p.m. ET/PT. We'd tell you to tune in, but we're pretty sure that's a given. After all, Evanescence has been gone for nearly four years ... and judging by your reactions, you guys certainly miss them.

squeal I'm so excited.

Kerrang! August 2011

Evanescence front woman Amy Lee has revealed that the inspiration for her group’s forthcoming self-titled album is the bond that exists between herself and her audience. “I really can hear myself singing about my relationship with Evanescence and with the fans,” she says, speaking exclusively to Kerrang!. “There’s always one big relationship on a record that I sing about the most. I feel like the biggest relationship on this album is my relationship with Evanescence itself, and with the fans. So, yeah, I think lyrically you’re hearing a lot about a relationship, a struggle with a relationship, or a love in a relationship, and mostly I’m singing about that.”

Recorded and Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, and produced my Nick Raskulinecz (who in the past has worked with Foo Fighters and Stone Sour), Evanescence will be its creators’ third album, and their first since 2006’s five million-selling The Open Door. The groups debut album 2003’s Fallen, sold some 17 million copies worldwide.

Among the songs set to feature on the forthcoming release include What You Want, My Heart is Broken, The Other Side, Made of Stone, and Lost in Paradise, the latter being a song that its creator describes as having “just poured right out of me”.

The band’s extended absence from the public eye can be explained by Amy’s desire to live and ordered life with her husband, Josh Hartzler, whom she married in 2006.

“I’m in a good place right now,” she says. “I’m happily married and I live in New York, which I think is probably the best city in the world – at least for me. It’s my favourite so far, and I’ve lived in a lot of places in the U.S.. But it’s great that we’re finally putting this [album] out. I can’t explain to you just how much I’ve needed that release. Just to be creating in a vacuum for so long and, like, ‘It’s not ready, it’s not ready…’. I need that connection, I need to show that fans; I’m dying for it.

“I’m having fun in the band again is what it all really means, and I think that comes across. You can hear us enjoying what we’re doing.”

MTVNEWS: Evanescence Tour Will Be 'Straight Up Rock'

Originally Posted by MTVNEWS

It's been nearly four years since Evanescence wrapped the tour in support of their The Open Door album ... and in the time since, as any fan of the band will tell you, Amy Lee and Co. spent most days doing anything but Evanescence.

Of course, all that has recently changed. Their self-titled comeback album is due in stores October 11, and the snarling first single, "What You Want," is waiting in the wings. Last weekend, they shot a video for the song, and they're gearing up for a massive world tour.

In a way, you could say they're making up for lost time, which has made the past month a rather hectic ride, indeed.

"We haven't started rehearsing [for the tour] yet, actually. ... It's just been a crazy run-around. We did a big photo shoot in L.A. for a couple days and I've been running around doing a lot of press," Lee told MTV News. "We're putting the album art together, getting the mixes done at the same time — I'm carrying my speakers around everywhere with me and, like, setting them up in different hotel rooms."

Evanescence have also been focused on finishing the track list for their album — a process made easier by the fact that they'll also release a deluxe edition that features all 16 recorded tracks — and finalizing the routing for that aforementioned tour. And then it's full-steam ahead ... regardless of whether everyone's ready or not.

I'm equally impressed and grateful that the single didn't leak until the day of the premiere. Builds up the excitement and hopefully means it'll sell well!

The energy in the room and onstage was palpable. The live audience at Blackbird Studios — the recording house where the band laid down the majority of their forthcoming, self-titled album — held on and rocked out to each and every note, particularly frontwoman Amy Lee's powerful vocals.

In discussing their hiatus and eventual return as a band, Lee admitted that the "hard part" of making music and recording was something she felt was missing from her writing process.

"The fact that we had to fight for it felt like the first time again," Lee said of the band's ups and downs in the years leading up to their latest work.

"I had a little bit of an identity crisis," Lee admitted of being in and associated with Evanescence since she was a teenager and into her adulthood. "[The success with] 'Fallen' happened really fast, and it was just go, go, go for a couple years, and we went right into writing and wrote the next record. By the time we finished touring with 'The Open Door,' I just needed to go, 'Who am I as an adult?'

"But [in taking a step back I realized] this is what I do," Lee said. "It's not a character; this is really me. Realizing and getting back to it in a real, fuller way. 'Oh, I'm in this because I love this and [the band] is a true, real part of me,' not because it's a character or something. It just makes me really, really happy to be here."

Did the tracklist leak!? I found it in facebook
Or someone took it from those MTV clips

[BlackSilence]

^ this is weird.... Amy mentioned a song called Never Go Back and it's not even in a list, also WYW is mentioned twice, plus most of the albums these days have only 12 songs. They said there's going to be a delux and regular versions, and that they still hadn't fully decided what will be on what, also um I hadn't seen anything on the oficial forum about the tracklist yet either *shrugs*

EDIT: um i found the same tracklist on the official forum but people are sure it's fake, Tim said that Your Love isn't going to be on the album.
