After giving new single “Who Will You Follow” its live debut at Sick New World last month, Evanescence have now delivered a music video for the incandescent, yet brooding rock anthem. We’d previously saluted the song, from the band’s forthcoming Sanctuary LP, for the way it ebb-and-flows “between serene piano motifs and bruised-orange nu-rock riff-outs,” as well as the way Lee contorts herself from “gently-whispered musings towards a skies-splitting vibrato as she reflects on the ‘crack in the Matrix’ altering our realities.” Now, Lee and the rest of Evanescence navigate those planes while either rocking the tune from a busy street setting, or cruising through ivory halls as a bunch of phone-jockeys scroll through their phones. Lee then takes the plunge on a wild, “Tower of Terror”-esque elevator ride to hell, and resumes rocking with her band as a metropolis tears itself apart from the seams. You’ll find the new vid streaming up above.As previously reported, Evanescence’s Sanctuary album is due out June 5th via Sony Music / Columbia. The 12-song collection, which follows 2021’s The Bitter Truth, also features Evanescence’s 2025 single “Afterlife.” Vinyl and CD copies of Sanctuary are up for pre-order in Revolver’s shop. Evanescence’s world tour starts in June, with a North American run sporting openers Spiritbox and Nova Twins. A European leg of dates with Poppy take place later in the year. You’ll find a breakdown on all of Evanescence’s upcoming shows here.
