Evanescence Tour Will Be 'Straight Up Rock'
Amy Lee tells MTV News the band is preparing to end four-year road hiatus with run of 'big energy' shows.
By James Montgomery

It's been nearly four years since Evanescence wrapped the tour in support of their The Open Door album ... and in the time since, as any fan of the band will tell you, Amy Lee and Co. spent most days doing anything but Evanescence.

Of course, all that has recently changed. Their self-titled comeback album is due in stores October 11, and the snarling first single, "What You Want," is waiting in the wings. Last weekend, they shot a video for the song, and they're gearing up for a massive world tour.

In a way, you could say they're making up for lost time, which has made the past month a rather hectic ride, indeed.

"We haven't started rehearsing [for the tour] yet, actually. ... It's just been a crazy run-around. We did a big photo shoot in L.A. for a couple days and I've been running around doing a lot of press," Lee told MTV News. "We're putting the album art together, getting the mixes done at the same time — I'm carrying my speakers around everywhere with me and, like, setting them up in different hotel rooms."

Evanescence have also been focused on finishing the track list for their album — a process made easier by the fact that they'll also release a deluxe edition that features all 16 recorded tracks — and finalizing the routing for that aforementioned tour. And then it's full-steam ahead ... regardless of whether everyone's ready or not.

"I wish I had more time to prepare," Lee said of the tour set to kick off in October. "No, we're excited to get back out there. All we can do is just run as fast as we can. Everything's just crammed really tight, from the video to the promo to the rehearsal," she added. "I'm ready to get to rehearsal, because I'm starting to feel like, 'OK, we've got dates booked, we haven't practiced yet.' Starting to get a little nervous, but in a good way. ... [We'll] be back in front of the fans, and feeling that energy again. That's going to be good for my brain."

And when Evanescence do return to the road, what can fans expect? Well, a solid dose of the new album, of course, but also plenty of the old hits too. Of course, Lee can sum it all up pretty nicely.

"It's just going to be straight-up rock. Big energy, this album is just a fast-paced rock ride. Is that dumb to say? Fine, make fun of me," she laughed. "We've got three albums now to pull from so, of course, we want to play the new ones but, of course, we're going to play the old ones too. It's going to be a lot."

Evanescence To Premiere 'What You Want' Live On MTV
'MTV First: Evanescence' premieres Monday at 7:54 p.m. ET/PT on MTV, with exclusive live stream to follow on MTV.com
By James Montgomery

Last month, MTV News premiered a sneak peek of Evanescence's brand-new single "What You Want," and the response from fans was overwhelming, to say the very least.

We went on to unveil snippets of two more songs from the self-titled album (out October 11) — the booming "The Other Side" and the ethereal "Lost in Paradise" — and each was met with the same strong enthusiasm ... so, we figured it was time to do something big. Really big.

And here it is: On Monday, at exactly 7:54 p.m. ET/PT, Evanescence will perform "What You Want" live — for the first time anywhere — on MTV. And immediately following that performance, the whole band will sit down with us for an exclusive interview and Q&A session that will stream live on MTV.com.

Of course, it wouldn't be right if we didn't include Evanescence's fans in all the fun, which is why we're asking you to submit your questions for the band via Twitter, using the hashtag #EVMTV. We'll pick the best ones and get their answers during our live stream.

And as if all of that wasn't enough, immediately following the live stream, we'll be posting the full album version of "What You Want" on MTV.com.

We're calling the entire event "MTV First: Evanescence," and it all begins Monday, August 8, at 7:54 p.m. ET/PT. We'd tell you to tune in, but we're pretty sure that's a given. After all, Evanescence has been gone for nearly four years ... and judging by your reactions, you guys certainly miss them.
