EVANESCENCE has released the official music video for its powerful new song "Who Will You Follow".
Directed by Jensen Noen, the cinematic visual pairs thought-provoking imagery with an emotionally charged performance to explore the overwhelming impact of technology, misinformation and digital culture, examining how constant online noise impacts us all.
Both the lyrics and accompanying video emphasize the importance of seeking authenticity in an era where truth feels increasingly and intentionally corrupted.
The song has already become the fastest-moving rock radio single of EVANESCENCE's career to date, earning the band its first-ever No.
1 on Billboard's Hard Rock Song chart.
The track was co-written and produced by Zakk Cervini (BAD OMENS, YUNGBLUD, BRING ME THE HORIZON, SPIRITBOX) and Jordan Fish (BRING ME THE HORIZON, Poppy, HOUSE OF PROTECTION, ARCHITECTS), and serves as a preview for EVANESCENCE's upcoming album "Sanctuary", due on June 5.
The LP will be available in various formats, including digital, standard CD, deluxe CD, and limited-edition box set, with a double vinyl release scheduled for September 4.
The deluxe CD is exclusive to the EVANESCENCE store and includes a Blu-ray that contains a "Live In São Paulo" concert, documentary from EVANESCENCE's 2023 South America tour, and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the "Who Will You Follow" video.
The deluxe vinyl is also available as a webstore exclusive.
EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee expressed her excitement over the release: "This album is over three years in the making, and finally listening back to it all at once, about to release it to the world, I am so damn proud of every second of it.
It's overwhelming.
Working on it has been my outlet for so much that feels wrong and out of control, and a place to ignite hope through the power of music and connection...
good thing we have the tour all lined up or I wouldn't know what to do with myself now! I've been completely obsessed.\
