EVANESCENCE singer and sole original member
Amy Lee recently posted a lengthy update online in which she talked about the new music she is writing and whether or not
EVANESCENCE is actually still a band. Lee wrote that she is working on new songs "almost every day," adding, "I don't want to give away too much about what it will sound like, because so much will change before the end, but it's... not what you would expect. It's definitely not happy married music, but it's not like I'm dying the whole time either. It's dark, sarcastic, fun, strange, familiar and very different at the same time. It makes me feel alive and I wish I could show you right now."
Lee was married in May 2007 to New York therapist
Josh Hartzler.
As for whether
EVANESCENCE is still a band and not just
Lee after years of changing lineups, the vocalist wrote, "From day one it has been a collaborative effort and different people have contributed over the years. But it is more than just people. It's something that has taken on its own life, it has grown, changed and become more interesting, more soulful, more honest than a perfect image will allow . . . That is my band. And against all obstacles, I'm sticking to it."
The last
EVANESCENCE album,
"The Open Door", came out in late 2006.
