Evanescence are thriving in their Sanctuary era — and so are their fans, who voted the album the best of the year thus far in a recent Revolver poll. That said, Amy Lee has added even more art to her already blockbuster summer by delivering an ambient vocal score to recent short film The Seventh Turn. The film — which was written, directed and produced by Eric D. Howell — was released through streaming service Kinema last week, and is described as “a 20-minute ghost story that explores coercive control and the quiet courage it takes to reclaim one’s truth.” It had been revealed last year that Lee had contributed to the score, developing the music alongside composer Michael Wandmacher. Lee’s process involved improvised vocalizations. In addition to the film being hosted on Kinema, a deluxe 11-song, 20-minute score — aglow in ghostly moans, choral melodies and ambient cries — is now streaming as well. You can check out the soundtrack — described by Lee as an extended, uninterrupted audio journey she hopes serves to stir your heart and imagination — in full up above. A trailer for The Seventh Turn is down below, while the short film is streaming as a pay-what-you-can title on Kinema. In related news, the North American leg of Evanescence’s ongoing world tour resumes Wednesday (July 8th) at Tinley Park, Illinois’ Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre. Spiritbox and Nova Twins will open. You’ll find the full breakdown for the remaining dates, including a European run with Poppy, over here.
