We all have called their names not to save us from the dark, but because their absence had never been this frustrating. The Grammy-award winning quintet of Amy Lee, Terry Balsamo, Tim McCord, Will Hunt and Troy McLawhorn, or collectively known as Evanescence have been missing for the last couple of years and left the music industry and its ever-resilient minions a gaping and painful hole.
The American group’s take on songs like Bring Me to Life and My Immortal had been indelible songs on our rock-pegged memories and their influence in changing the game of the should-be-all-guys notion for rock bands is so refreshing, this made it easy for us to succumb to their musical genius.
With three successful albums on their belts including Fallen, Anywhere but Home and The Open Door, fans from all over the planet is on contained frenetic mode as we await on as to when Evanescence be on the music radar again to give us songs that we’ll sing continuously in our heads for the next couple of years.
It will be such a pleasure to the ears to have heard that Evanescence is on tight bounds in ending their three-year hiatus by scheduling small shows in the United States. Much as they wanted to make it big time as how they’ve been known before, the band’s current handler and music label have deviated from doing such on the premise that they want to test if the music audience that they’ve had once before would be scrambling back to patronize the group again.
It will be in November that Evanescence is said to set foot on stage again which includes intimate gigs at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works in November 13, followed by a November 15 session at Dallas’ South Side Ballroom and capping it off with a show in Los Angeles’ Wiltern in November 17th. As of this writing, there are no plans of extending the mini-tour and will keep the plans glued until further notice.
It can be remembered that Evanescence faced a block on their musical career upon transfer from Wind-up Records to Concorde Bicycle Music in retrospect to unfinished contractual commitments and unpaid ‘royalties’. Lead vocalist Amy Lee have been quoted that this issue is putting the band’s career in compromise, hence, the stoppage of further production from the group.
The hiatus, however, didn’t hinder Amy Lee to still practice her singing job by releasing a solo album entitled Aftermath, which received mixed reviews from critics and listeners alike. The break on their three-year absence is one of the most awaited comebacks that everyone has been talking about with social media.
News has it that the group would also be joining Japan’s Ozzfest to be witnessed in November 21 this year. No validations have been released by Evanescence’s current music label; however, music addicts have been positive that this specific gig in Ozzfest will surely bring the band on the rock pedestal again.
