New Evanescence Album Due Out At End Of The Year

Yahoo! Music, Jan 6, 2005 5:00 pm PST
Evanescence plans to release a new album by the end of this year. Singer Amy Lee told Billboard that the new CD--the group's follow-up to 2003's Fallen--is only in the beginning stages, explaining, "We're obviously taking longer than the average band." She added, "Trust me, it still sounds like Evanescence, but you can't just keep making the same music." There's no word on when the band will hit the studio to record the new songs, but Lee expects the CD to arrive in stores at the end of 2005.

Meanwhile, fans won't have to worry about Lee breaking away from Evanescence to pursue a solo career any time soon. She revealed, "If I said, 'I want to stop Evanescence for a while and do something different,' it would be something totally different. I would become a painter or go into social work or write scores for movies or be a choir teacher."

The as-yet-untitled album will feature Terry Balsamo, the guitarist replacing co-founder Ben Moody, who left the band in late 2003.
