Amy Lee confirms there’ll be a new Evanescence album in 2026

Evanescence icon Amy Lee has confirmed that the band will release a new studio album in 2026.

The vocalist had a very brief chat with Kevin Ryder at the annual KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas 2025 in Los Angeles and said of a new record: “Next year, let’s say that. A few more lyrics to write, but it’s going very well and I’m really excited about it.”

Of course, Evanescence have had a pretty active 2025, releasing some very cool singles and playing huge shows – including recently supporting Metallica in Australia and New Zealand, something Amy called “incredible” and said went “really, really, really well”.

And next year will be an even busier time, with the follow-up to 2021’s The Bitter Truth coming, and a world tour with support from Poppy, Spiritbox, Nova Twins and K.Flay. So let’s watch this space, and hope that Amy is able to finish those last few lyrics…

Speaking about next year’s headline gigs, Amy previously enthused: “This year has been so inspiring in so many ways, creating so much new music, playing some bucket-list shows and working with so many artists that give us life. We are taking all of that fire and energy and inspiration and building it into an epic 2026 for our fans.

“Collaborating with K.Flay, Poppy and Courtney LaPlante made me want to create a world where we could share stages together, and I’m thrilled we are going to make it happen! I can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on, and I can’t wait for this incredible tour.”
