Evanescence announce orchestral new LP “Synthesis”, Fall tour
Evanescence will reimagine some of their best-known songs with a full orchestra on the band's upcoming new album “Synthesis”, due out this fall. The album is Evanescence's first since their 2011 self-titled LP.
For the project, Amy Lee teamed with producer Will Hunt and composer David Campbell – Beck's father – to re-record songs like “Bring Me to Life” as well as two new tracks.
“This is a total passion project for me. There are so many layers in our music underneath the huge drums and guitars,” Lee said in a statement.
“I've always wanted to shine a light on some of the gorgeous David Campbell arrangements and programming elements in our songs, and that idea snowballed into completely re-doing them with full orchestra, not just strings, elaborate programming and experimentation,” she said.
Lee and a full orchestra will bring the reworked versions on the road this fall on the Synthesis Live tour, which kicks off October 14 in Las Vegas.
“This will be our first time touring with an orchestra and I'm so excited to perform this way – really focus on the vocals, and the emotion and the story we've built over the years,” Lee said. “I'm also really excited about the new material on the album. Besides the two new songs, there are some really beautiful instrumental in-between moments. The whole thing flows like a big, dynamic soundtrack.”
