Evanescence Recording String Sessions for New Album

According to posts shared by fans and insiders, the band has been recording string arrangements in the studio alongside composer Michael Wandmacher.

Even more exciting, musician Dave Eggar confirmed that he recorded the string section for the new album, bringing a rich orchestral layer to the project.

The sessions also involved Susie Benchasil Seiter, known for her work with orchestras and large-scale recordings, suggesting a highly cinematic sound direction.

From the studio photos, we can see:

  • Full orchestral setup with sheet music
  • Recording booths and live string tracking
  • Behind-the-scenes moments with the team

All signs point toward a powerful blend of rock and orchestral elements, something Evanescence has mastered throughout their career.


What This Could Mean

Evanescence has always incorporated strings into their music, but this level of studio orchestration hints at something even bigger for the upcoming album.

This could mean:

  • More cinematic and symphonic tracks
  • Live-recorded strings instead of digital arrangements
  • A darker, more emotional sound
