Evanescence and front-woman Amy Lee have enlisted some of the top women rockers to join them in recording “Use My Voice,” the band’s new single and unique musical event, out today. Teased last week, “Use My Voice” was written to celebrate the power of speaking out in order to promote a more just world.
Amy’s top-notch crew of collaborators on “Use My Voice” are:
Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless
Lzzy Hale of Halestorm
Violinist Lindsey Stirling
Deena Jakoub of hard-rock band Veridia (long-time friend of Amy’s and co-writer for the song)
Sharon den Adel of Within Temptation
Amy’s sisters: Carrie and Lori Lee
Amy McLawhorn, wife of Evanescence guitarist Troy McLawhorn
“Use My Voice” follows “Wasted on You” and “The Game is Over” as the third track to be released early from The Bitter Truth, Evanescence’s forthcoming new album and first containing all new material in nearly a decade. The Elle, Rolling Stone, and New York Times-lauded, self-shot in quarantine video for “Wasted on You” was recently nominated for “Best Rock” at the coming MTV Video Music Awards, and The Bitter Truth promises fans more of the heavy, vocal-driven, and expertly-orchestrated rock & roll for which Evanescence is known.

The Bitter Truth takes its foundation in the epic, signature sound that has earned Evanescence two GRAMMY awards and more than 23 million album sales worldwide beginning with their landmark debut ‘Fallen,’ and blends it with the thought-provoking lyrics, musical sophistication, and heavy themes that Amy Lee has become known for. Producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Deftones) has been tracking with the band in Nashville since late January. In a break from the past, the band will be rolling out a series of songs from the album incrementally, culminating in the release of the full album. Later this year, the band plans to tour through Europe on the rescheduled co-headline tour with Within Temptation originally scheduled for this month. Conditions permitting, the band will also continue to perform shows in other parts of the world, as well.
