Evanescence is the latest act to provide its take on Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain," and the hard rockers' version is off to a strong start on Billboard's charts. Evanescence's "The Chain" debuts at No. 1 on the Rock Digital Song Sales list dated Dec. 7, selling 9,000 downloads in the week ending Nov. 28, according to Nielsen Music. The Amy Lee-led act lands its first leader on Rock Digital Song Sales, which began in 2010. "What You Want," the first single from the band's then-comeback, and self-titled, 2011 album, started at a prior No. 4 best that August. Additionally, "The Chain" bows as the top debut, at No. 9, on the multi-metric Hot Rock Songs chart, marking Evanescence's first top 10 on the list, which began in 2009 (after the act's commercial breakthrough with its "Bring Me to Life," a No. 5 Billboard Hot 100 hit in 2003). Evanescence's version of "The Chain" isn't the only rendition of the song to chart in 2019. The Highwomen recorded the song for the movie The Kitchen, and the track reached No. 28 on the Adult Alternative Songs airplay chart dated Oct. 5. (Evanescence's cover of the song is for the video game Gears 5, the latest in Xbox's Gears of War series.)

Evanescence conjure a post-apocalyptic wasteland in the new video for their cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.” The clip was directed by P.R. Brown and finds the band performing the song while bathed in red light as smoke hovers around them. The clip is interspersed with some footage from the video game Gears of War 5 — for which the cover was recorded — as well as some sprawling desert scenes. As Revolver noted, the video closes with a shot of drummer Will Hunt’s drum kit on fire, ostensibly a reference to the rioting prevented Evanescence from performing at Slipknot’s Knotfest stop in Mexico last December. “’The Chain’ music video is out now,” Evanescence wrote on Twitter. “Fun with smoke bombs in a post-apocalyptic world as we walk through the fire together.” Evanescence released their cover of “The Chain” last November, marking their first new rock recording in eight years. They’re currently working on new music, which will arrive later on in 2020. The band previously released their symphonic music album, Synthesis, in 2017. Evanescence will embark on a European tour this April, although they do have a pair of shows in Columbus, Ohio, scheduled for May 15th and 16th.
