SYNTHESIS (X) | VINYL RECORD (LP)

Evanescence are returning with 'Synthesis,' their fourth and most ambitious album to date! The album features a reworking of some of Evanescence's best-loved songs recorded with a full orchestra and electronica combined with the band and Amy Lee's virtuoso piano and voice. Evanescence - lead singer-songwriter and pianist Amy Lee, bassist Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt, lead guitarist/backing vocalist Troy McLawhorn and guitarist Jen Majura worked with producers Will Hunt and orchestra arranger and composer David Campbell on 'Synthesis' which will also feature two new Evanescence songs, the first of which is entitled "Imperfection. " The album includes guest performance by famed violinist Lindsey Stirling on "Hi-Lo" the other new song on the album. "This is a total passion project for me. There are so many layers in our music, underneath the huge drums and guitars," explains Amy Lee of Evanescence. "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. This will be our first time touring with 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. 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. - Synthesis by Evanescence
