The American rock band Evanescence of singer Amy Lee, lead guitarist Terry Balsamo, bassist Tim McCord, rhythm guitarist Troy McLawhorn and drummer Will Hunt released their third self-titled studio album on 11th October 2011. Their new alternative metal album goes to public after five years from "The Open Door" release.
Amy Lee had an identity crisis and she needed to find herself. She did a lot of painting and listening to alternative rock music. After 18-months-long-Evanescence break Amy Lee decided to reborn Evanescence.
The release of the album “Evanescence” was changed several times because of changing producer. Evanescence wasn't satisfied with producer Steve Lillywhite who offered slow tempo and acoustic songs. So they started working together with producer Nick Raskulinecz (producer of Foo Fighters’ and Alice in Chains’ albums). Amy Lee stated: "Nick is an awesome producer". Nick Raskulinecz helped them to find real rock sound.
Amy Lee described the album as "better, stronger and more interesting". Songs are inspired by relationships, nature and relationships with fans. The album "Evanescence" is influenced by Björk, Depeche Mode, MGMT, Portishead and Massive Attack.
The first single "What You Want" was released on 9th August 2011. The song "What You Want" was described as band's heaviest and most different song with freedom topic and heavy guitar melodies. The ballad "Lost in Paradise" is compared to the song "Jóga" by singer Björk.
