Amy Lee, the frontwoman of the American gothic rock band Evanescence, said the band are aiming to release a new album in 2020.
The group, who formed in 1995 and released their debut full-length album Fallen in 2003, are set to record a follow-up to their 2011 eponymous record. There is no definitive timeline for the release just yet.
The ‘Bring Me to Life’ singer spoke to SiriusXM host, Grant Random, about the band's focus on creating new music this year: “This is sort of a creation year for us,” she said.
“We’re playing a few festivals and headlining some shows... And in the time in between, getting together and starting the writing process for a new album.”

Nita Strauss joined EVANESCENCE on stage this past Friday, May 10 at the the Epicenter festival in Rockingham, North Carolina to perform the song "Disappear". Fan-filmed video footage of her appearance can be seen below.
Back in 2015, EVANESCENCE's Jen Majura revealed that Strauss was on singer Amy Lee's short list of candidates for the guitarist slot in the band before Majura herself landed the gig.
EVANESCENCE has around two dozen live appearances scheduled this spring and summer, with plans to spend the rest of the time writing material for its long-awaited follow-up to 2011's self-titled effort.
The band spent much of the last two years recording and touring in support of 2017's "Synthesis", which contained some of EVANESCENCE's best-loved songs — as well as a couple of new ones — reinvented with full orchestra over a deep electronic landscape.

A day after joining EVANESCENCE onstage for a rendition of "Disappear" at this year's Epicenter festival in North Carolina, ALICE COOPER guitarist Nita Strauss praised frontwoman Amy Lee for her contributions to rock music. "It was a dream," Strauss told Metal Nexus (video below). "Amy Lee and EVANESCENCE, she was a real trailblazer for women in music. And for me to get to stand on stage with her, and of course, the amazing band, Troy McLawhorn and Jen Majura, an amazing guitar attack, and Will Hunt on drums, it was an awesome experience." She continued: "You just step in and do it. Jen and I got together in the dressing room before the show and we went over the song a couple of times and that was really it." Asked how she balances the demands of her solo career as well as being a part of Alice Cooper's band, who will be touring with HALESTORM this summer, Nita said: "I actually don't have more than a week off until the end of November. And we're in May. [Laughs] I've been living on the road most of my life, so you get used to it. There's a Walmart everywhere."
