Evanesence are not letting the pandemic prevent them from releasing new music in 2020. The band has just announced a new album, titled The Bitter Truth, with plans to unveil the first single next week.
Thus far, Evanescence haven’t revealed a tracklist or release date, but they did unveil the album artwork, which appears to depict the lower half of singer Amy Lee’s face as she swallows a “bitter pill.”
The new single, “Wasted on You”, will premiere on April 24th, and is currently available to pre-save on Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer.
Along with announcing the album, the band revealed that 50 fans who pre-save the single will be selected to take part in an early listening session with Amy Lee via Zoom:
“We promised you a new album in 2020 and we won’t let anything stop us. We are proud to begin sharing our new album ‘THE BITTER TRUTH’ with you, one piece at a time, starting with our first song ‘Wasted on You’ next FRIDAY! We will choose 50 people who PRE-SAVE to get the first listen of ‘Wasted On You’ on a Zoom call with Amy Lee next Thursday!”
It’s been nearly nine years since Evanescence released 2011’s self-titled effort, their last full-length album of original material. The band did release the LP Synthesis in 2017, but that mostly featured orchestral re-workings of the gothic-rock act’s hits, along with two new songs.
Check back on April 24th for the new single “Wasted on You”, and see the album artwork for The Bitter Truth below.
