It's such a shitty time to be in the world, but it's such a great time to be an Evanescence fan.

There's no point to this post other than to say... as a huge fan since 2002, who dived into their back catalogue, demos, and music pre-fallen, I have not been this excited for an Ev album since The Open Door.

I've never disliked an album they've put out, but 24 years into my fandom, I think they've hit another peak of success and strength and it's great to see they've gained some new traction and they're getting some love.

Afterlife was unexpectedly (for me) really successful, and the bridge in that song is one of my favourites they've ever done. Since then, we've been treated to their best lead single since CMWYS, an incredible music video with a big budget, a behind the scenes, multiple Sanctuary choices to buy.

I don't think I've ever needed their music more. The world is such a scary, confusing and stressful place in the 2020's. I know politics in music isn't for everyone, but hearing her stance on the world today in interviews makes me so proud to be a fan they stand for everything I do. I think she's taken the right approach staying quieter in social media but putting it into the music and art and I feel the energy and passion in the lead single.

I'm so impatient to hear it now but I'm glad it's not leaked so far in advance like previous albums have. I hope they have a really successful era, because if the clip of Self Destruct is anything to go by we are in for a treat.

To Amy and the band. Thank You.
