Evanescence releases brand new single "Who Will You Follow"
Evanescence are back with a new song Who Will You Follow, which was co-written and produced by Zakk Cervini (Bad Omens, YUNGBLD, Bring Me The Horizon, Spiritbox) and Jordan Fish (Bring Me The Horizon, Poppy, House of Protection, Architects). The track is a preview for their forthcoming album “Sanctuary”, set for release on 5th June 2026.

The album, which features tracks produced by Cervini/Fish as well as songs produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Korn, Foo Fighters, Rush) will be available from June 5th as a Digital Album, Standard CD, Deluxe CD and limited-edition Box Set. A double vinyl of the album will be released on September 4th. The album is available to pre-save / pre-order now HERE.
Amy Lee said, “This album is over three years in the making, and finally listening back to it all at once, about to release it to the world, I am so damn proud of every second of it. It’s overwhelming. Working on it has been my outlet for so much that feels wrong and out of control, and a place to ignite hope through the power of music and connection… good thing we have the tour all lined up or I wouldn’t know what to do with myself now! I’ve been completely obsessed. I’m dying for the fans to hear this.”
The band is no stranger to success, with their 2003 record “Fallen” holding steady as the sixth best-selling album of the 21st century (ranking just behind Lady Gaga’s “The Fame” and ahead of Coldplay’s “A Rush of Blood to the Head”), remaining one of the best-selling albums of all time, with more than 17 million copies sold worldwide. The album’s stratospheric singles, including Bring Me to Life, broke the Top 10 in more than 15 countries and topped Billboard’s Mainstream Top 40 and Alternative Airplay charts. My Immortal was a Top 10 hit in over ten countries, including the US, UK, and Australia.
