“We Finally Feel Whole”: Amy Lee Says EVANESCENCE Has Found Its Perfect Lineup
Rock legend and Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee has never been one to mince words and in a recent interview, she opened up about something fans have long speculated: the band’s lineup is no longer just stable it’s complete.
> “We feel complete at this point,” Lee said with a quiet confidence that echoed the strength of a band forged through fire, loss, reinvention, and resilience.
Over the years, Evanescence has seen multiple lineup changes since their explosive debut with Fallen in 2003. But through every chapter, Amy Lee remained the creative core and the heart of the band’s evolving sound. Now, in 2025, Lee says the chemistry within the current group is the strongest it’s ever been.
A Band Reborn
After releasing their 2021 album The Bitter Truth, Evanescence began to lean more into collaboration, letting each band member bring their unique artistry into the mix. With Tim McCord on guitar, Will Hunt on drums, Troy McLawhorn on rhythm guitar, and Emma Anzai (formerly of Sick Puppies) on bass, the lineup has struck a chord both creatively and personally.
> “It’s not just about playing well together anymore,” Lee explained. “It’s about trust, laughter backstage, shared vision. That’s rare. It’s special.”
Creative Flow and Forward Motion
Lee emphasized that the band’s cohesion isn’t just about personality it’s deeply musical. Recent performances have felt more energized and organic, something she attributes to the mutual respect and openness within the group.
> “Everyone brings something essential. We inspire each other. There’s no ego war, no hierarchy. That’s how the best music gets made.”
Indeed, the band’s recent shows have drawn praise for their renewed intensity and emotional depth. Longtime fans are calling it a revival not just of Evanescence, but of a sound that blends darkness and power in a way that only they can.
What’s Next for Evanescence?
While Lee remained tight-lipped about specific upcoming projects, she did hint at new music in the works and a deeper exploration of the band’s sonic identity.
> “This is a season of creative freedom. We’re writing again, experimenting and there’s no pressure to fit any mold.”
As the band enters this next era, Lee’s words ring like a promise not just to fans, but to herself.
“After everything we’ve been through, to look around and say ‘This is it. This feels right’ that means more to me than I can say.”
With Amy Lee’s soaring voice, Evanescence’s unmistakable style, and a team that finally feels like family, the band’s best chapter may be the one they’re writing right now.
