Metal Hammer:

“Things are spiralling out of control!” – The new issue of Metal Hammer features Evanescence on the cover and comes with two exclusive gifts!

As Evanescence prepare to release their anticipated new album, Sanctuary, we speak to Amy Lee about how she wrote it, as well as her decades-long evolution into a true icon.

The issue also comes with two exclusive Evanescence gifts: a logo keyring, and a foil sticker in the Sanctuary album colours.

Inside the magazine, Amy Lee tells us that she called the album ‘Sanctuary’ because the music represents a place of safety and truth at “a chaotic and violent time where more and more it feels like things are spiralling out of control” in the world.

During the making of Sanctuary, she was in a different headspace to when she recorded 2003 debut album Fallen, and its breakout mega-hit, Bring Me To Life.

“When I was in my 20s and we were doing Fallen, the music was very introverted because I was looking in,” she explains. “As you go through life and you have experience, you have to look out.”
