There will be a tour with a full orchestra. This tour is called [[Synthesis Live]] and has dates in North America and Canada in 2017 and dates in 2018 for Europe and the UK.


It is rumored to be released around November 10, 2017 according to an interview that Amy Lee gave to the British site ''The Sun''<ref> https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/music/3816258/epic-evanescence-rock-the-uk-for-two-nights-only-to-share-some-london-love/ </ref>
On May 23, 2017, pictures surfaced on Instagram of [[Amy Lee]] recording piano at the Dark Horse Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. The photos have since been deleted, but were originally uploded by cinematographer, Jeff Molyneaux, who was recording behind-the-scenes footage at the time. The orchestra was recorded later the same month at Ocean Way Recording Studios, also located in Nashville. Recording took a month-long break as Evanescence began their European tour. Then in August 2017, the band flew to Will B. Hunt's studio in Fort Worth, Texas, to record their parts and to finish off the album.

Synthesis è un album remix degli Evanescence pubblicato il 9 novembre 2017. L'album contiene una selezione di tracce dei precedenti album rielaborate in un nuovo stile che è sintesi tra musica orchestrale ed elettronica, e due inediti, Imperfection e Hi-Lo.

La prime informazioni riguardanti questo progetto vennero rese note in un Q&A su Facebook il 29 febbraio 2016, quando venne chiesto alla band di possibili rielaborazioni di vecchie loro canzoni e a cui venne data una velata conferma[1]. Poche altre rivelazioni vennero centellinate in altre interviste successive[2][3][4]. Tra queste la conferma che il nuovo progetto non riguardava la pubblicazione di un vero e proprio album in studio: "Non riguarda ‘ora abbiamo intenzione di pubblicare un nuovo album’, che non è imminente, prima c'è qualcos'altro un po' particolare e differente che vi condurrà in un diverso sentiero che vorremmo provare a intraprendere". Fu soltanto il 10 marzo 2017 che Amy caricò un video nella pagina ufficiale di Facebook degli Evanescence, rivelando finalmente il nome del progetto e il suo concept.

Concepimento e registrazioni

David Campbell, Amy Lee and Will B. Hunt at Ocean Way Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.

Amy Lee announced Synthesis by uploading a video to Evanescence's official Facebook profile on May 10, 2017 titled: "Album announcement: SYNTHESIS" [5].

Here is the full statement from the video:

Vin1.jpg Hey everybody, I want to take this moment to officially announce and briefly explain the new Evanescence project; Synthesis. We're calling it that because it is the synthesis, the combination, the contrast, the synergy between the organic and the synthetic, and also the past and the present. This album is about orchestra and electronica. We're taking our music, stripping out the big distorted guitars, stripping out the rock drums and replacing it with full orchestration and a completely synthetic world of beats and sounds.

We've gone through our entire catalogue of music and picked out the songs that are made to be heard in this way. And we're sewing them together from the ground up, this isn't a remix, we're not pulling things out and putting them out. We're starting from the ground up; different tempos with different parts, with intros and outros and segways and new pieces. And putting this all together like one big piece of music, like one big classical piece or sort of like a soundtrack, actually, in a lot of ways, it sounds a lot like the soundtrack of my life.

In addition to all the Evanescence songs that you already know, there are also going to be two completely new, original compositions as well. We're collaborating on this with the legendary David Campbell who arranged the strings for all three of our albums. This time he's come to the table with way more full orchestra meaning; woodwinds and brass and strings and harp and just the whole thing, it's really awesome!

Okay, the last part of this that I want to share with you now is that as we've been thinking about how to execute this in the studio and create this as an album, we've also been thinking about how to attack it live because we're also going to be touring with a full orchestra this fall.

So, get ready to put on your fancy clothes and experience Evanescence in a whole new way! Both Synthesis the album and Synthesis the tour will be happening this fall. Stay tuned for dates.

From the Inside (The Creation of Synthesis) o anche Inside Synthesis è un documentario sul processo di creazione e registrazione di Synthesis. Questo contiene interviste di ciascun membro della band, del produttore Will "Science" Hunt e del direttore d'orchestra David Campbell. Venne pubblicato inizialmente sul web diviso in cinque episodi. La versione completa della durata di 16 minuti, con più di sei minuti di materiale inedito, è contenuto nel DVD della versione deluxe e box set di Synthesis.

Singoli

Bring Me to Life (Synthesis) fu il promo ad essere pubblicato come singolo promozionale, l'8 agosto 2017, non appena i biglietti per il tour autunnale del 2017 in Nord America furono resi disponibili. Il suo download veniva reso disponibile non appena venivano acquistati i biglietti del concerto. Imperfection fu pubblicato come primo singolo commerciale il 15 settembre 2017. Il suo ascolto venne reso disponibile con un'anteprima di due ore attraverso un "listening party" sulla pagina ufficiale di Facebook della band. Lacrymosa (Synthesis) fu pubblicato come secondo singolo promozionale il 27 ottobre 2017. Hi-Lo fu pubblicata come secondo e ultimo singolo commerciale l'8 giugno 2018 poco prima del tour con Lindsey Stirling.

Tour

Exquisite-kfind.png Per approfondire, vedi la pagina Synthesis Live Tour e Synthesis Live Book
Evanescence performing Synthesis Live at the Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 14, 2017.
Il DVD del concerto fu pubblicato il 12 ottobre 2018.

Il Synthesis Live è come gli Evanescence chiamano il tour di Synthesis. Il tour mondiale, accompagnato da un'intera orchestra, è incominciato il 14 ottobre 2017 e si è concluso 8 settembre 2018. Sono state eseguite dal vivo tutte le canzoni del album oltre che altre tracce eseguite come bis e una selezione di tracce orchestrali eseguite all'inizio di ogni concerto cambiate ad ogni parte del tour.

L'8 marzo 2018, Lindsey Stirling caricò un piccolo video intitolato "Dreams coming true, Summer 2018". Nel video scherzoso Lindsey si presentava come una "fan casuale"[6] degli Evanescence. Tuttavia non appena la videocamera si allontana e si allarga il campo si fa intendere che Lindsey è una fan tutt'altro che casuale, mostrando un'intera parete ricoperta dal merchandising della band e lo stesso vestiario in tema della cantante. Quando il telefono squilla con la suoneria personalizzata di Bring Me to Life appare un messaggio da parte Amy Lee con scritto "Che fai questa estate?"; la scena viene improvvisamente tagliata e appare il logo della band Evanescence con la scritta "Estate 2018"[7]. Il giorno seguente, gli Evanescence confermarono la notizia che avrebbero intrapreso la prossima parte del tour negli USA e in Canada insieme Lindsey. La prevendita dei biglietti venne resa disponibile il 7 marzo, mentre la vendita vera e propria venne resa disponibile qualche giorno dopo, il 9 marzo[8].

Evanescence's performances of Hi-Lo during the Summer 2018 tour included Lindsey playing her violin solo live. When Lindsey played her song, Shatter Me, Amy Lee would sing the vocals. During the first half of the co-headlining tour, when Lindsey headlined, Amy and Lindsey would perform a cover of Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey to finish off the night. And for the rest of the tour, when Evanescence headlined, the band and Lindsey would perform a medley of Palladio, No More Tears by Ozzy Osbvourne and Alive by Sia.

The photographer for the Synthesis shoot, Paul Brown, posted behind the scenes pictures on Instagram working on the recording of the show.

Accoglienza della critica

Synthesis received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 69 based on 4 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[10]

Loudwire described Amy's performance on the record as "outstanding" and that "her powerful pipes [are] never overshadowed by the orchestra". They also said the production on the album is "excellent" and "it's grandiose and bombastic in parts, quiet and subdued in others, and working with so many instruments when recording and mixing an album is tricky".[11]

Rolling Stone gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars and gave a brief review saying that it's "an act of artistic justice" and that it "amplifies the real Amy Lee, the way she was always meant to be heard".[12]

Metal Hammer gave it 4 out of 5 stars and said that since they only have three studio albums, going back and revisiting their best-loved songs is an "ambitious and unexpected move". For the song Bring Me to Life, they said that "stripping away all the rock elements" and "barely there ambient electronics" gave it a "completely different atmosphere" and that the concept of the album is "like a window into an alternate-universe Evanescence".[13]
