EVANESCENCE will release a new single, “Afterlife”, on Friday, March 28. A lyric video for the track, which will appear in Netflix‘s upcoming adult animated urban fantasy action television series “Devil May Cry”, will arrive on Thursday, March 27 at 9 a.m. PT. The lyric video will include “exclusive clips” from “Devil May Cry”, which is based on the Japanese video game franchise of the same name by Capcom. Created by Adi Shankar and produced by Studio Mir, “Devil May Cry” is scheduled for release on April 3 on Netflix.
To date, EVANESCENCE has released a total of five studio albums, including the multi-platinum “The Open Door” (2004) and “Evanescence” (2011), both of which topped the Billboard 200. In 2021, the band thrilled fans with their first album of new material in a decade, “The Bitter Truth”. Now 20 years on, EVANESCENCE continues to scale new heights. Featuring a lineup of Amy Lee (vocals, keyboards), Tim McCord (guitar/bass), Will Hunt (drums), Troy McLawhorn (guitars) and Emma Anzai (bass, backing vocals), the band continues to travel the globe, staging some of the most successful shows of their career, having wrapped a run of sold-out shows in Latin America, including Allianz Parque, a soccer stadium in Sāo Paulo, Brazil, which was the biggest headline show of EVANESCENCE‘s career to date, drawing 40,000 fans.
Shortly following its release in March 2021, “The Bitter Truth” rose to the top of the iTunes Album charts in 22 countries and also landed the top spot on Billboard‘s Top Hard Rock Albums chart.
EVANESCENCE first topped the Hard Rock Albums chart in October 2011 with its self-titled effort. The album stayed atop the list for three weeks.
“The Bitter Truth” was recorded during the pandemic and confronted the dark realities of the world head-on. Yet its resounding message was one of light: pushing through is better than giving up.
