William Martin "Will" Hunt (not to be confused with Will "Science" Hunt), born September 5, 1971, is Evanescence's drummer since 2007. He was the touring drummer for Tommy Lee's "Never a Dull Moment" tour, as well as member of the band Skrape until 2004, at which point he joined the band Dark New Day full-time. He is also a touring member of the band Device.
Touring Drums for Evanescence and Joining the Band
Amy Lee stated on EvThreads that Will and Dark New Day bandmate Troy McLawhorn were not leaving Dark New Day and that Evanescence were "just borrowing Will and Troy for a while"[1] so it was unclear at that point how long they would be touring with the band and if they would take part in any future studio recordings. Other Dark New Day guitarist, Clint Lowery (who would also be touring with Korn as their backup guitarist), stated that Troy and Will were only going to be touring with Evanescence until at least September 2007[2] but Will continued playing with the band until the end of the tour in December 2007. He was referred as a band member by Evanescence's official bio in 2007.[3] Will played the drums at Evanescence's November 2009 New York Secret Show and Brazil Maquinária Festival show, but Troy did not perform with Evanescence at those shows, with James Black of Finger Eleven in his place.
Will joined Evanescence as an official member in 2010[4] and he co-wrote with the band some of the songs released on the band's self-titled album. He also has writing credits on Imperfection, the lead single off 2017's Synthesis.
He co-wrote nine songs from the band's fifth album, The Bitter Truth, released on March 26, 2021: Broken Pieces Shine, The Game is Over, Feeding the Dark, Wasted on You, Better Without You, Use My Voice, Take Cover, Part of Me, and Blind Belief.[5]

"ALBUM PREMIERE: Evanescence's Self-Titled Return" (October 7, 2011) - "This song for me has all the elements of a band who know who they are, but aren't afraid to push the envelope and take risks. This tune is my fave on the record because it's heavy and uncompromising, but beautiful and epic at the same time. It really takes me on an emotional roller coaster."
