Those are always really energizing, so we've got a lot of energy and are feeling inspired and excited for the future.ĪMAZING, I WAS GOING TO ASK HOW THE ENERGY FEELS LIVE.
We're all really happy right now, we're in a healthy new chapter moment. it's just amazingly cool and the other guys are just thrilled with it as well. It's his original instrument, he's great on it, he gets into that position when we're in the writing room a lot. This is big time new for us because I've had Tim on bass for 16 years and for the first time he is on guitar, which is fantastic. At the end of the day, when you follow your heart and trust each other, you can move forward into a better place than you could've imagined for. It's complicated but at the same time you just need to follow your heart. That's how you keep your team, your band, and everything healthy and moving the way it's supposed to move. But sometimes that chapter just ends, and when you feel that and you know that as a band, that's how you keep things going.
Don't want to make it like it's anything negative there. It's hard to explain what I'm saying without being specific, and we all love Jen, we had a great time with Jen. Sometimes you just sort of have to listen to the universe and what's going on and go, "You know what, OK, I need to live in the reality of what's happening now and make something great out of it instead of constantly trying to pull things the way I think they ought to go." Something I'm getting better at as I get older is not trying to control everything so much. We did a little European run in June and then we did a few shows here and had our first photo shoot with the new lineup just two weeks ago. We're all fans of her and just fits us on a personal level really well. We toured together in 2007 and she's just an excellent musician. Emma Anzai is from the band Sick Puppies and we are old friends. I am so happy, we are all so, so grateful. HOW'D THAT COME ABOUT AND HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THE NEW SETUP? Video of Evanescence - Wasted On You (Official Music Video)ĮVANESCENCE RECENTLY WENT THROUGH A LINEUP CHANGE. We talked with Lee about the refreshed lineup, the prospect of new music, and her longtime admiration and deep friendship with Korn - including asking her to pick her favorite song in the Bakersfield nu-metal godfathers' stacked catalog. Guitarist Jen Majura, who had been playing with the group since 2015, was replaced by longtime Evanescence bassist Tim McCord, whose previous spot bringing the low end was taken over by new member Emma Anzai, also of the band Sick Puppies.Īs Lee tells us, the switch-up has injected Evanescence with a renewed burst of energy that's got them feeling incredibly excited not just for their tour with Korn, but for the next chapter of the band entirely. The two heavy acts make for a great pairing and surely there'll be plenty of warm nostalgia to bask in, but as much as the tour aims to reconnect with the past, it's also a moment for Evanescence to step into the future.Īfter dropping their first new album in a decade last year, 2021's The Bitter Truth, the band went through a significant lineup switch several months back. Korn and Evanescence will be hitting the road together for the first time since their fondly remembered 2007 Family Values trek, which followed Jonathan Davis and Amy Lee's stunning "Freak on a Leash" duet from Korn's MTV Unplugged appearance earlier that year. Next week (August 16th), one of the biggest tours of the summer will commence.
