Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee said that the making of her band’s new album has been an experience fraught with uncertainty – but that everything is on the right track now. The hard rockers shelved the electronic-leaning recordings they began making with Steve Lillywhite last year and have been working with Nick Rasculinecz on the new recordings.
“We took the best songs we had, added more, and reworked them as a group. They’re stronger than before… when it was more one-dimensional,” Lee told Spin.com. “My favorite records that came out recently were from Alice in Chains and the Deftones – and [Rasculinecz] produced both. We love working with him – he makes it so fun.”
In the process, Lee said the band members gelled in a way they hadn’t previously. The lineup includes Lee, guitarist Terry Balsamo, bassist Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt and programmer Will “Science” Hunt (yes, there are two guys have the same name).
“I’ve never felt so supported by my band members,” she said. “We’ve really relied on each other. And everyone being a part of this album, from the ground up, is an entirely new approach for us. There’s nobody that’s just coming in to play guitar. Everybody’s invested. We’re more truly a band now than ever before.”
In other Evanescence news, the band’s manager denied to Blabbermouth.net that former guitarist Troy McLawhorn is rejoining the band, despite Tweets from Seether frontman Shaun Morgan indicating that he was.
