Making the New Track for Devil May Cry was a Joy

Amy Lee, the renowned vocalist of Evanescence, has long held a deep affection for video games, particularly The Legend of Zelda series. Growing up in the 1980s, she experienced the evolution of gaming firsthand, starting with Atari titles like Pong and Toobin’. The introduction of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) into her household marked a pivotal moment, especially with the release of Super Mario Bros. 3. However, it was The Legend of Zelda series that truly captured her heart. Amy and her younger siblings became enamored with Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64, followed by Majora’s Mask. Her passion for the franchise continued into recent years with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which she enjoyed alongside her ten-year-old son, integrating gaming into her daily relaxation routine.

Amy’s musical journey has also intertwined with the gaming world. She was honored to contribute to the Gears 5 soundtrack by recording a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.” The project began with her involvement in the game’s trailer and expanded into a full-length version of the song, showcasing her enthusiasm for blending music with interactive entertainment.

In a recent collaboration, Amy recorded the track “Afterlife” for the Devil May Cry anime series on Netflix. This opportunity allowed her to delve into the series’ dark and intense themes, resonating with her musical style. Amy immersed herself in the project, dedicating nights to binge-watching the series to fully capture its essence in her music. She expressed immense satisfaction with how “Afterlife” was integrated into a particularly significant episode, feeling honored by the producers’ use of her song.

Through these endeavors, Amy Lee continues to bridge her musical talents with her gaming passions, enriching both realms with her distinctive artistry.

EVANESCENCE’s AMY LEE Joins HALESTORM For ‘Break In’ Performance At Canadian Tour Kick-Off

EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee joined HALESTORM on stage last night (Tuesday, October 15) at the Vancouver stop of the two bands’ joint Canadian tour to perform the HALESTORM song “Break In”. Fan-filmed video of the performance can be seen below.

In August 2020, HALESTORM released the official music video for a reimagined version of “Break In”, featuring a guest appearance by Lee. The new version of the track, which originally appeared on HALESTORM’s second album, 2012’s “The Strange Case Of…” , was recorded in October 2019 at a Nashville studio with producer Nick Raskulinecz, who had previously worked with both bands. The clip captured Hale and Lee delivering an impassioned studio performance of the track.

The updated “Break In” appeared on “Halestorm Reimagined”, a collection of reworked HALESTORM original songs as well as a cover of “I Will Always Love You”, the love ballad made famous by Whitney Houston and Dolly Parton.

Lzzy and Amy performed a quarantine rendition of “Break In” in May 2020 on Hale’s Internet show “Raise Your Horns With Lzzy Hale”.

Speaking about the collaboration, Lzzy told Amy: “What I love about dueting on that song with you is that it started out as as love song that I wrote for my significant other” — referring to HALESTORM guitarist Joe Hottinger — “but when we sing it together, it’s this act of unity, especially with the two of us being women and being women musicians. It’s like we have each other’s backs. And the lyrics mean something completely different when I sing it [with you].”

Regarding the way the new version of “Break In” was recorded, Lzzy said: “We did it performance-style, literally next to each other in the same room — from beginning of song to end of song, singing with each other.

Unearthed Footage Shows Amy Lee From Evanescence’s Powerful Voice At Just 17-Years-Old

The rare video was filmed at Vino’s Bar in Little Rock, Arkansas back in 1999, and shows Amy Lee on vocals, former Evanescence bandmate Ben Moody on guitar, Stephanie Pierce on back up vocals, and an unnamed violinist.

The clip pre-dates any official Evanescence releases, with the band’s demo album ‘Origin’ coming out in 2000, followed by their debut studio album ‘Fallen’ in 2003. Some songs from those albums are performed in the clip, including ‘Imaginary’ and ‘Whisper’.

Amy Lee and co’s full one-hour-set is captured in the video, and while the sound and quality isn’t great – it’s pretty epic seeing Evanescence before they were what we know them as now.

John Furman, the uploader of the video, has even timestamped each individual song, so if you wanna skip to something in particular, you can. Check out the timestamps below, and have a watch of the 1999 video up top.

6:55 – Whisper
13:00 – Imaginary

THE MOST TRAGIC LOSSES THAT CHANGED AMY LEE

Amy Lee didn’t dream of being a rock star as a young girl. Her earliest musical influences came from the classical world. She was fascinated by her grandmother’s piano playing and the film “Amadeus,” and she dreamed of one day being either a classical composer or scoring films, as she told Kerrang!. Even when she discovered grunge and heavy metal as a teenager and started down the path to becoming the leader of Evanescence, Lee made connections between heavy metal and the classical writers she knew.

Still, she made the transition into rock and grunge, though she didn’t at first think of herself as a singer. Vocal performance was initially only an outlet for her poetry. For her poems, Lee drew on a darker muse than a classic film or her grandmother’s talents. When she was only 6 years old, Lee’s younger sister Bonnie died of an illness that left her physicians baffled. Lee was close to her sister and was devastated by losing her, but she didn’t want to compound her parents’ grief by showing her feelings. Poetry, and later music, became her outlet.

Lee carried that early sense of loss into her career with Evanescence. She’s identified two songs, “Hello” from the album “Fallen” and “Like You” from “The Open Door” as being about her sister. She’s also come close to tears discussing her sister in interviews and long declined to share her name, out of concern it would upset her parents or lead overcurious fans to encroach on her sister’s grave.
