Amy Lee reflects on Evanescence’s successful year with the release of Sanctuary, calling it “a really good year, and an emotional one” that feels like “something bigger than myself.”
Sanctuary debuted in the top 10 of Billboard’s Top Rock Albums and Independent Albums charts, featuring the band’s first two No. 1 Mainstream Rock Airplay hits.
The success of Sanctuary is attributed to both the current moment and the 22 years of Evanescence’s history, including sales of over 32 million albums and two Grammy Awards.
Amy Lee’s collaboration with various artists and projects over the past decade, including solo work and Evanescence releases, has led to a deeper connection with fans and a new depth in the band’s music.
Evanescence’s upcoming international arena tour and plans for documenting the show on film and creating music videos demonstrate Amy Lee’s excitement and commitment to the current album cycle.
