Evanescence are back and better than ever- this time, with a brand new music video.
The five piece band, who are most known for their gritty rock tones and front woman Amy Lee’s unique vocals, have just released a music video for their cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” – originally recorded for Xbox’s new game, Gears 5.
The band’s cover of “The Chain,” was originally released back in November, but the music video dropped earlier this week after much anticipation from fans who have eagerly been awaiting Evanescence’s return to rock music.
“The Chain” marks the band’s first traditional rock recording in nearly 8 years, following a three year hiatus in 2012-2015 that resulted in their 2017 orchestral album “Synthesis,” and a slight change in sound.
But now, according to the band, they plan to re-visit their classic sound and are in the process of recording their fifth studio album.
“The lyrics make me feel the power of standing together against great forces trying to pull us apart,” Lee said of “The Chain.”
“Perhaps even from the inside. I really wanted to drive that home in our version,”
“The goal of the video is to show the bond of this band as they deliver a powerful take on a classic song,” director P.R. Brown added. “The tie in with Gears 5 presented an opportunity to combine the game world together with the band performance in a post-apocalyptic setting. The band emerges from the ashes to come together. We wanted to bring these worlds together and feel both the force of the band and the game.”
You can watch “The Chain” now on YouTube, and stream the song on all streaming platforms.
