Evanescence

Synthesis Evanescence

Evanescence are returning with "Synthesis", their fourth and most ambitious album to date. The album features a reworking of some of Evanescence best-loved songs recorded with a full orchestra and electronica combined with the band and Amy Lee's virtuoso piano and voice.

The limited-edition deluxe box of the album includes the CD and a DVD featuring a documentary on making the album as well as instrumental and 5.1 surround mixes of the songs along with a book of the orchestra score composed by David Campbell.

"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.
