Evanescence has announced their new album, titled *Sanctuary*, set to release on June 5. This will be their fifth studio album, following 2021’s *The Bitter Truth*. Amy Lee expressed her excitement on the band’s website, saying, “This album is over three years in the making, and I am so proud of every second of it. Working on it has been my outlet for so much that feels wrong and out of control, and a place to ignite hope through music.”
The album features the 2025 single “Afterlife,” which was recorded for the Netflix series *Devil May Cry* and marked Evanescence’s first #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Fans can now listen to the new single “Who Will You Follow,” which is also part of the album.
Evanescence will perform at the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas on April 25. They will then kick off a full U.S. tour in June, with support from Spiritbox and Nova Twins. Amy Lee is eager for fans to hear the new music, saying, “I’ve been completely obsessed. I’m dying for the fans to hear this.”
