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.

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[6]


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.
