Evanescence releases their 6th studio album, Sanctuary. The 12-track record was produced by Zakk Cervini (Bad Omens, YUNGBLD, Bring Me The Horizon, Spiritbox), Jordan Fish (Bring Me The Horizon, Poppy, House of Protection, Architects), and Nick Raskulinecz (Deftones, Korn, Foo Fighters, Rush).
The album is available as a Digital Album, Standard CD, Deluxe CD and limited-edition Box Set. The album is also available on all streaming services. A deluxe digital album that includes instrumentals of each song on the album is available exclusively through Townsend Music. A double vinyl of the album will be released on September 4th. The Deluxe CD is exclusive to the Evanescence store and includes a Blu-ray that contains the band’s Live in Sao Paolo Concert, Documentary from Evanescence’s 2023 South America tour and a behind the scenes look at the making of the ‘Who Will You Follow’ video. The deluxe vinyl is also a webstore exclusive. The band held an online listening party giving their fans a first listen to the album on June 3rd.
“This album is over three years in the making,” said Amy Lee. “I am so damn proud of every second of it. It’s overwhelming. Working on it has been my outlet for so much that feels wrong and out of control, and a place to ignite hope through the power of music and connection.”
Sanctuary includes ‘Afterlife’ — the multi-week #1 rock song featured in Netflix’s breakout animated series Devil May Cry — alongside current single ‘Who Will You Follow’, which currently sits at #1 on Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay Chart and recently earned the band their first-ever #1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Song Chart. The official music video, directed by Jensen Noen, emphasizes the importance of seeking authenticity in an era where truth feels increasingly and intentionally corrupted. Watch here.
The band have also just announced a massive arena tour of Australia and New Zealand in March 2027 – details below.
Evanescence has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1/£1/€1 from every ticket sold will support organizations providing humanitarian aid and medical relief to those in need around the world. Additionally, Head Count, a non-profit/non-partisan entity will be on site at most of the band’s US concerts to register new voters and to instruct previously-registered voters how to check their registration status to ensure it is still valid.
