The next Evanescence (opens in new tab) album could be out in 2020, according to vocalist Amy Lee (opens in new tab).
She describes this year as a “creation year” with the band formulating ideas, with an eye to return to the studio in time for a release next year.
Speaking with SiriusXM (opens in new tab), Lee says: “This is a creation year for us. We’re playing a few festivals and headlining shows and, in the time between, getting together and starting the writing process for a new album.”
Asked if she could put a timeframe on when the new material could be released, Lee responds: “Hopefully next year. We’re just going to get together and see what happens this month and start doing that more regularly until we feel like we’re ready to do it.”
Evanescence are currently on the road across North America on a ‘return to rock’ tour after their Synthesis Live concerts.
The band will return to Europe and Russia for further shows later this year.
