15th May 2026 – Evanescence releases the official music video for their powerful new song “Who Will You Follow” — listen here/watch here.

ABOUT EVANESCENCE:
Emerging in 2003, Evanescence reshaped the rock landscape with their debut album Fallen, a cinematic blend of rock, metal and symphonic, piano-driven melodies led by powerhouse vocalist Amy Lee. The album became a global phenomenon, earning multiple GRAMMY® Awards and selling over 17 million copies worldwide, with hits like “Bring Me to Life” and “My Immortal” defining a generation. Fallen remains one of the best-selling albums of all time and has earned Diamond certification from the RIAA. Over the past two decades, the band has continued to evolve while maintaining their signature sound, releasing five studio albums including the chart-topping The Open Door and Evanescence. Their 2021 release The Bitter Truth marked a triumphant return, while their global touring has reached new heights, including their largest headline show to date at Allianz Parque Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil.
Now entering a bold new era, Evanescence continues to push boundaries. 2025 was a landmark year for Amy Lee and Evanescence. The release of last year’s global phenomenon “Afterlife,” from the Netflix series Devil May Cry, became the fastest-rising track of their career and the band’s biggest single since their first album, amassing over 150 million streams globally and reaching #1 on the US Rock Radio Chart, a first at the format for Evanescence. Followed by the release of “End of You,” a collaboration between Evanescence’s Amy Lee, Poppy and Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante, the song was named Revolver’s Song of the Year. Also reaching #1 at US Rock Radio, “End Of You” made history in the US by becoming the first all-female collaboration to do so. Their highly anticipated single, “Who Will You Follow,” was co-written and produced by Zakk Cervini and Jordan Fish, and will appear on the forthcoming album Sanctuary, further signalling an exciting new chapter for the band as they continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
