Right well, I'm going to start an appreciation thread for these guys since they are my favourite band and their new album is due out this year! (I looked through some older threads, but they weren't all very appreciative lol)

Amy Lee's vocals are stunning and I don't know how many people are aware, but their new single has had a clip posted along with a short interview over at MTV.com - the single is called "What You Want"

Their new album is due for release in the UK Oct 10th, and the US Oct 11th!

I was going to do this earlier

Anyway, I LOVE the clip of their new single. It sounds awesome. I think I already prefer it to Call Me When Your Sober. I'm glad they've progressed their sound. So excited for the full single/album

What You Want sounds EPIC!!!!!! I believe they're gonna be massive this time around. Just over 2 weeks til the full song premiers. Although with the recent attack of leaked songs from other artists, I think it might come earlier.

It's good knowing that so many big music stations are showing their support for EV.... MTV, Kerrang! etc.

Gutted the album has been pushed back though.

"Hello, Hello... remember me? I'm everything you can't control" - love that lyric

It's only been pushed back a week. But I think Wind-up intended the date to be the 11th in the beginning anyway because the article says they 'corrected MTV'.

NEW SONG SNIPPET TOMORROW GUYS! Can't wait! Wonder which one it is.

EvClub has also been updated with some of Amy's sketches of the 'visual theme' for the album which is Oceans. I love how cut the little octopuses are

Clip two is up!

It's called "The Other Side", and it sounds quite heavy! Love it!

So the titles we have for this album so far are:
[LIST][*]What You Want[*]My Heart Is Broken[*]The Other Side[*]Made of Stone[*]Lost in Paradise[*]Oceans[*]Sick[*]Kraken[*]A New Way To Bleed[*]Understanding (I'm PRAYING this is the one from their 1st EP)[*]Secret Door[*]Say You Will[*]The End of the Dream[*]Swimming Home[*]Vanilla (working title)[*]Orange (working title)[/LIST]

OMG I love Evanescence Fallen is an incredible album just amazing.
Wish I was at home so I could check out their new tracks!

I'm loving the sound of The Other Side, very heavy!

And I hope and pray that 'Understanding' is from the EP too but I doubt it cause it would mean having to credit Ben Moody on the liner notes in the sleeve so I doubt it will happen.

What You Want snippet now on Amazon, it sounds sooo good! I'm loving the backing vocals! Actually sounds like a better lead single than CMWYS did! The structure of that (While I do love it) was a bit mental for a single, it had like 3 different songs in it lol!

I haven't seen it, even though Amy lee looks so good you'd fake your own death in front of her so she could bring you to life....bet it's great.

New snippet, this one from Lost in Paradise. I can already tell this one will be an all-time fave. That bit where the band kicks in blew me away!

FINALLY, we have some tour dates!


Manchester here I come. I can't wait. Tickets will probably sell out fast so i'm gonna glue my mum to the computer on Friday morning cause I'm at work.

Thank you so much for posting the tour information, roll on Friday.

No Northern Ireland date Bad business by Evanescence, practically every big rock/metal act that comes here can sell out Odyssey - Guns N' Roses, Metallica (2 nights), Iron Maiden, Green Day...

Im guessing the O2 is a stadium /Arena? Evanescence arent anymore.Venues they are playing are moderate 2,000 seaters.

I think they did this last time round, they start with Theatre dates then see how the album does - then go on to do bigger gigs (eg. Co-Headlining the Family Values Tour in 2007). The only reason we didn't get them back last time round was because of all the drama within the band, and them basically scrapping everything after Good Enough was (not) released.

So I wouldn't worry, they'll probably go on to do a full big World tour after the 3rd/4th single

FIRST OFFICIAL PROMO PHOTO FOR 'EVANESCENCE'

It looks amazing!!!

Just a heads up for everyone who intends on going to the gigs. I just got an email from Livenation & tickets go on presale tomorrow morning at 9am.

Don't forget that if you're with O2 you can get your priority tickets today! Got mine for Hammersmith earlier...Cannot wait!

I got my ticket for Manchester yesterday (EvClub perk lol) I wonder how quickly it'll sell - I reckon it probably won't sell out until August when What You Want is released (unless there are a LOT of die-hard Ev fans still in the UK!)

Drat I am with Vodafone, but my mum is with O2, so may see if I can use her number to get the ticket lol.

Edit lol - Got my ticket for Birmingham, roll on November.

You'd be surprised how many die hard fans there are here...The Open Door got to number 2 in album charts back in 2006, and they didn't get to number 1 because The Killers released their album the same week!

Also well done darkjedimaster on getting your tickets, the perks of knowing someone on O2!!

I am quite surprised that I was able to get a ticket through that method as my mum isn't a contract customer, so great to know that PAYG users can have the priority thing as well. It should be a great event, especially with the support act being "The Pretty Wreckless".

Just under 4 months wait . Will have to dig out my Anywhere but home DVD.

I'm soooooooo excited for the tour and the new album! I've only seen them once at Download Festival 2007 but they were fantastic! Going to get my ticket for Hammersmith tomorrow morning in the Live Nation pre-sale

Oh I know, but if the 'core' fanbase were all of a similar age - everyone will be in their 20s now and some may have 'moved on' since Fallen/TOD, I know the fanbase still had a big shift after the 2nd album! I'm just wondering whether those 'die hard' fans who are waiting to see what the material is like OR if they'll just buy tickets anyway

I definitely think Ev are still very relevant, don't think I'm thinking they've lost touch or anything
