Background

In an interview with Revolver published on August 12, 2022, Amy Lee mentioned that the band have begun to get the "itch" to work on new music.

We're in that mode right now where it feels like it's time to do something. I don't know if any of us are ready to look at it like committing to doing a full new album yet, it's a little soon for that. But we need to just start playing around and getting creative. We're at that place. The itch is itching so the scratching comes next.[1]


In separate interviews in November 2022, Amy said that thoughts and inspiration has begun for new music, and the band will slow down the live shows at the end of 2023 to start getting creative.[2][3]

I try not to make too many concrete plans – it just happens. When you sit at the piano and just let it happen. But yeah, I want to make new music with this cool new energy we have with the band.[4]


In an interview at Rock in Rio Lisboa 2024, Amy confirmed that the band were actively writing new music.[5] In an interview at Rock in Rio 2024 in Brazil in September, Amy confirmed the band would go into the studio in November for the first round of recordings.[6]

In an interview at the backstage of Aftershock on October 14, 2024, Amy commented the new music sounded "killer", and they would go for a recording session in November.[7]

Amy stated in an interview on March 24, 2025 that the band was "working on a lot of songs for the new album".[8] She said that there are unfinished songs in the writing process that are being worked on at the same time.[9]

On May 15, 2025, Will Hunt mentioned that three or four songs were worked on with Nick Raskulinecz around November 2024. He added, "Aside from those, we already have three more songs recorded and a few others in progress. I don’t wanna say we’re halfway done with the record just yet, but we’re getting close. As far as release dates go, we don’t have anything specific yet. I’d love to think it would come out this year, but I don’t know if that’ll happen—it’ll probably be sometime early next year."[10]

In a radio interview on June 19, 2025, Amy stated that they will release songs throughout the year, whether they are from the album or side projects. The full album will "probably" be released in early 2026.[11]
