EVANESCENCE releases captivating music video for ‘Who Will You Follow’
EVANESCENCE has recently unveiled their captivating music video for the track “Who Will You Follow,” delving into the themes of digital culture and misinformation that resonate in today’s society. Directed by Jensen Noen, the video skillfully combines visually stunning elements with a compelling performance, shedding light on the overwhelming impact of technology and the disarray caused by misinformation. The lyrics of the song serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of authenticity in a world where the truth often seems distorted and elusive.
The single “Who Will You Follow” has quickly gained traction, making it the fastest-moving rock radio track in EVANESCENCE’s extensive career, reaching the band’s first-ever No. 1 position on Billboard’s Hard Rock Song chart. Co-created and produced by Zakk Cervini, renowned for his collaborations with BAD OMENS, YUNGBLUD, and BRING ME THE HORIZON, alongside Jordan Fish from BRING ME THE HORIZON and Poppy, the track is anticipated to be a standout piece on their forthcoming album “Sanctuary,” scheduled for release on June 5.
“Sanctuary” offers an intriguing mix of tracks produced by Cervini and Fish, along with contributions from Nick Raskulinecz, known for his work with KORN and FOO FIGHTERS. Fans can choose from various formats to enjoy the album, including digital, standard CD, deluxe CD, and a limited-edition box set. Vinyl enthusiasts can anticipate a double vinyl release on September 4. The deluxe edition, exclusively available from the EVANESCENCE store, features a Blu-ray showcasing their “Live In São Paulo” concert, a behind-the-scenes documentary from their 2023 South America tour, and a detailed look into the making of the “Who Will You Follow” video.
Frontwoman Amy Lee expressed her profound pride in the creation of “Sanctuary,” emphasizing that the album has been a labor of love over three years. She expressed her eagerness for fans to experience the culmination of their hard work, describing the record as an outlet for her emotions and a beacon of hope through the uniting power of music and connection. With the line-up of their upcoming tour in place, Lee is excited for what lies ahead following the album’s release and can’t wait for fans to immerse themselves in the music.
