Revolver magazine (web site) is reporting that EVANESCENCE have set "The Open Door" as the title of the follow-up to their multi-platinum major label debut, "Fallen", tentatively due in August via Wind-Up Records. The upcoming CD will be the group's first since the departure of guitarist/chief songwriter Ben Moody, who quit in 2003.

In November, Moody's replacement, Terry Balsamo (ex-COLD), was rushed to the hospital after suffering a stroke caused by a torn neck artery. And December brought a flurry of lawsuits between singer Amy Lee and her former manager, whom she accused of professional negligence and sexual assault.

"Yeah there's been some drama," Lee told Revolver. "When we started recording, I was in a pretty dark place — there were nights where I'd stand in the backyard, turn up PINK FLOYD really loud and jump in the pool with my clothes on. It was a tearful, rough time."

Eventually, though, Lee turned a corner and decided to "clip out all the black spots" in her life; that's when her role as the group's new main songwriter began to bloom. "With Ben it was always, 'No, no, that's not commercial enough,'" she told Revolver, "It's so liberating not to have someone standing over me constantly shooting my ideas down.

"I don't want to insult my first record, because I love it," she continued. "But I love this 10 times more — it's sexier. On the first one I was young and small and afraid to express myself. Now I'm talking from my true heart — which isn't always miserable."

The complete track listing has been announced for EVANESCENCE's new album, "The Open Door", due on October 3 via Wind-Up. The band's second major label offering, "The Open Door" will follow up 2003's six-million-selling "Fallen". When asked to describe the sound of the new disc, singer Amy Lee told Launch it was hard to explain. "It's different than the last album, but it's still EVANESCENCE," she said. "I think the fans are really gonna love it. I'm a fan, I love this band, I wouldn't be doing it if I wouldn't love it, and I love it, so I guess that's sort of my gauge for everything. But it's different, it's kind of fun and sexy, but it's still, like, dark and, like, really epic at times."

"I think if people expect this album is going to be softer and more feminine and more wimpy, they're going to be surprised," Lee told JAM! Music. "It's not an album full of 'My Immortal'-like songs. Every song is completely different and I feel like at times it definitely goes heavier than we had the capacity to do before. But in a way that's still new and fun and unique and not trying to be like anything else that's out there."

It was also nice to collaborate with a different musician, Lee said, enthusing about founding member Ben Moody's replacement, former COLD guitarist Terry Balsamo.

"I've never really written with someone before," she told JAM! Music. "I don't know if Ben and I ever wrote a song together. It was always, I would write and he would write and then we would bring our ideas together."

"But the writing process with Terry was really, really great and different. We would just sit in a room and make demos. We'd work together and talk to each other and encourage one another. This whole writing together thing is good for me. I needed Terry to make it happen the way it did. I trust him and we trust each other to just try whatever."

01. Sweet Sacrifice

EVANESCENCE has officially picked "Call Me When You're Sober" as the first single from "The Open Door". The song will arrive at radio stations around August 7.

EVANESCENCE guitarist Terry Balsamo suffered a stroke last November during the making of the record, but Lee says he has made a "miraculous" recovery.

EVANESCENCE also sued its former manager on grounds of professional negligence and sexual assault, among other claims.

Touring plans for "The Open Door" are yet to be announced.

Le premier single est disponible ici. Ca vole pas haut quand même.

J'imagine qu'ils ont pris le pire morceau, pour le lancer comme single. C'est monnaie courante ces tps ci.

Perso j'aime beaucoup, ce n'est pas différent des singles de Fallen, ni moins bon que Bring Me To Life ou Everybody's Fool. Quelque part, ça me rassure car je pensais que le groupe ne suporterais pas le départ de Ben Moody.

la pochette en petit, pas mal je dois dire

On peut voir l'artwork en + gros en se rendant sur leur site officiel : http://evanescence.com/

C'est joli oui.

J'ai pas écouté le single, et je pense pas le faire.

j'ai ecouté le single et bof, j'ai l'impression que la chanteuse chante faux et la musique plat et sans inspiration, de plus je considere toujours qu'evanescence à pomper lacuna coil et autres within temptation

L'album est en écoute en streaming a cette adresse :

Mouef cet album. J'ai bien aimé le clip et le morceau du clip, mais musicalement l'ensemble du CD fatigue vite.

tous les titres se ressemblent! Je préfère Fallen!

Un peu pareil pour moi. La prod est vraiment superbe, mais il semble manquer un petit truc au niveau des compos.

Nouveau single du groupe, What You Want, la flemme de faire un sujet
