[ ``Evanescence Set For Fall Tour; Amy Lee Reveals Inspiration Behind 'Sober'`` ]
10 Aug 2006
``Singer also reveals band's new bassist: Tim McCord [previously] of Revolution Smile.

With the release of their new album The Open Door just around the corner, Evanescence have lined up 17 theater gigs that will constitute the first leg of their world tour.

The initial North American run will kick off in Toronto on October 5 — two days after The Open Door lands in stores — with dates scheduled through October 29 in San Francisco. Evanescence then plan on heading across the pond for a brief run of European shows, after which they'll return to the States before year's end to play in larger arenas.

Frontwoman Amy Lee said the band's set will be filled with the new material, with a handful of older tracks thrown in for kicks. "It's been two years since we stopped touring," Lee said. "So it's been awhile, and I'm a little nervous, but I'm mostly just excited. By the end of touring the last time, we were just dying to write more songs and play some new material. So, by now, after all the recording and writing and creating, we're just ready to get back out there and play it and see how it goes again."

Tickets for the bulk of the trek go on sale August 19. Tickets for the Los Angeles stop will be available August 26. ...`` ► Read More

Photo: Wind-Up
New York --- Evanescence has announced an on-sale date of August 19 for tickets to the upcoming first leg of its world tour. Beginning in Toronto, Ontario on October 5th, the rock group, featuring Amy Lee (vocals, piano), Terry Balsamo (guitar), John LeCompt (guitar) and Rocky Gray (drums), will perform seventeen North American dates plus a live performance at the MTV Video Music Awards Latin in Mexico City before heading overseas for a second leg in Europe. A complete list of shows with an on-sale August 19 is listed below.

On October 3, the band will release the much-anticipated album, The Open Door on Wind-up Records. Evanescence’s second studio album follows its debut Fallen, and the live DVD/CD Anywhere But Home. Combined, the two titles have sold in excess of fifteen million copies worldwide. The Open Door is the ideal showcase for the band’s inevitable personal and professional growth, with songs of introspection, longing, doubt, self-respect and ultimately, empowerment and anticipation. Several songs include a choir, as well as strings recorded in an old chapel. The album is defined by Amy Lee’s beautiful melodies, profound lyrics, stunning vocals and poignant piano, which fuse with Terry Balsamo’s urgent, yet intricate guitar playing, to form a remarkable, ethereal blend perfectly rooted in the band’s rock and classical sensibilities offering up its signature sound. Lyrically, Amy Lee has delivered a passionate, empowered album.`` ► Read More

EVANESCENCE has uploaded the cover artwork for its new album, "The Open Door", at its official web site.

Due on October 3 via Wind-Up Records, "The Open Door" will follow up 2003's six-million-selling "Fallen". When asked to describe the sound of the new disc, singer Amy Lee told Launch it was hard to explain. "It's different than the last album, but it's still EVANESCENCE," she said. "I think the fans are really gonna love it. I'm a fan, I love this band, I wouldn't be doing it if I wouldn't love it, and I love it, so I guess that's sort of my gauge for everything. But it's different, it's kind of fun and sexy, but it's still, like, dark and, like, really epic at times."`` ► Read More
