Evanescence releases new song for Netflix fantasy series
Evanescence has released a new song for the Netflix animated series “Devil May Cry” called “Afterlife,” marking their first release since 2021. The haunting track features Amy Lee’s powerful vocals layered over crunchy power chords and ominous keyboards, creating a goth-tinged nu-metal sound that the band is known for. If you’re a fan of Evanescence’s earlier hits like “Going Under” and “Bring Me to Life,” you’ll likely enjoy this latest offering.
For those unfamiliar with “Devil May Cry,” it’s an animated series that appears to draw inspiration from a mix of films like “The Matrix,” “Kill Bill,” and “Alice In Wonderland.” The show combines elements of action, fantasy, and surrealism to create a unique visual experience that complements Evanescence’s dark and brooding musical style. The band’s contribution to the soundtrack stays true to their signature sound, with droning guitars, tormented vocals, and delicate piano melodies infusing the track with emotion and intensity.
Led by Arkansas native Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody, who co-founded the band in Little Rock as teenagers, Evanescence has garnered critical acclaim and commercial success over the years. With five albums and two Grammy Awards under their belt, the band continues to captivate audiences with their introspective lyrics and powerful performances.
