It’s been my creative outlet amidst tumultuous times, a place to ignite hope through music and connection… luckily, we have the tour lined up, or I wouldn’t know what to do with myself now! I’ve been completely consumed. I can’t wait for the fans to hear this.”
The album will be available in various formats, including digital, CD, deluxe CD, limited-edition box set, and a double vinyl edition later this year. In preparation for the album release, Evanescence is gearing up for an extensive 2026 world tour, commencing on June 11th and featuring support from Spiritbox, Nova Twins, Poppy, and K.Flay at selected dates.
