Evanescence

Evanescence will wrap up their headlining run on the 2012 Carnival of Madness tour tonight (Sept. 2) in Buffalo, N.Y. In an interview conducted at the Atlantic City, N.J. stop earlier in the run, Amy Lee and the band talk about the influence of relationships on their writing, working together as a cohesive unit, stage clothes and even pigtails.

The moment that many have been waiting for on the Carnival of Madness tour finally came to fruition Saturday night (Aug. 18) in El Paso, as Evanescence‘s Amy Lee and Halestorm‘s Lzzy Hale united their powerful voices together on one song.

While rock may be a male dominated world, when the women speak, they do so loudly. Two great examples of that are Amy Lee and her band Evanescence and Lzzy Hale with Halestorm. The two leading ladies have been crossing paths lately and have nothing but kind and supportive words for each other.

Evanescence singer Amy Lee‘s vocal power is on full display once again in the band’s latest single, ‘Lost in Paradise,’ and it’s leaving behind a little bit of a chemtrail in the new lyric video for the song.

Whether or not we believe in the concept of guilty musical pleasures, most of us enjoy a few songs and artists that we’d rather not be caught listening to — and rock’s biggest acts are no different, as evidenced by a recent Fuse piece that asked famous rockers to share the darkest secrets of their personal playlists.

Evanescence‘s Amy Lee was awarded the Best Vocalist honor at the 2012 Revolver Golden Gods Awards. Having just belted out ‘Made of Stone’ and other tunes for the award show audience, it’s no surprise that the celebrated singer took home the prize.

The fourth annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards are set to invade Los Angeles on April 11, with Marilyn Manson on deck to perform his first show in almost three years at the event. Other performers include Slash, Evanescence, Sixx: A.M. and Black Veil Brides. Further additions to the line up will be announced in the coming weeks.

There’s a new ‘Underworld’ sequel heading for theaters at the end of January, and you know what that means: another installment in the franchise’s bestselling soundtrack series.

Sick of holiday songs and Christmas standards like ‘Deck the Halls’ and ‘Silent Night?’ So are we. If you want to pipe some of your preferred music into your holiday gatherings, SiriusXM is making that easy for you. Beginning Christmas night (Dec. 25) at 9 PM EST, the satellite radio broadcaster will air Evanescence‘s ‘Artist Confidential’ performance on its Octane active rock channel.

So, here’s a short musical history lesson: Before guitarist Troy McLawhorn was in Evanescence, he was in Seether; and before he was in Seether, he was in Evanescence.

Last week, Evanescence released their self-titled third studio album and now it lands at No. 1 on the latest Billboard 200 chart by selling 127,000 copies in its first week of release. Evanescence bumped out ‘American Idol’ winner Scotty McCreery’s debut disc ‘Clear as Day’ from the top spot.
