Amy Lee announces 'Synthesis' Album and Tour for Evanescence

Amy Lee, Evanescence's frontwoman, announced this May 10th that the band will be back for this Fall with an all-new project called 'Synthesis'. The singer explained that the title was decided because "(the album) it is the synthesis, the combination, the contrast, the synergy between the organic and the synthetic, also the past and present."

In a video for the band's Facebook page, Lee stated that "this album is about orchestra and electronica. We're taking our music, stripping out the big distorted guitars, stripping out the rock drums and replacing it with full orchestration and a completely synthetic world of beats and sounds."

The band selected songs that were "made to be heard in this way," as the leader told, from their past records. Lee also made it clear that the tracks are not going to be remixes, but completely new versions of the song made from scratch with past collaborator David Campbell and an entire orchestra, and "Synthesis" will also include two new songs.

Synthesis is set to be released this Fall, and a tour with a full orchestra is planned as well, but feel free to listen to Amy Lee explain this in her own words; just click in the video down below.
