Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee has told US magazine Billboard that she "doesn't have an opinion" on We Are The Fallen, the new band featuring former Evanescence guitarists Ben Moody and John LeCompt, drummer Rocky Gray, ex-Disturbed bassist Marty O'Brien and former American Idol contestant Carly Smithson.
"It just doesn't have anything to do with me or Evanescence," said Lee. "The only thing that bothers me about it, really, is I keep hearing about 'the original members.' The only original members of Evanescence [were] me and Ben; John and Rocky came into the band after we'd already recorded [Evanescence's 2003 debut album] Fallen, so there's a lot of years that didn't include anybody but Ben and I. Other than that, I don't have an opinion or anything to say about [them]."
When asked about her band's upcoming, third studio album ,Lee says it's set to be the best Evanescence album yet.
"I know that seems weird to say, but I wouldn't be here in the studio making another record if I didn't think it was going to be better than anything I've ever done," she said. "I feel like so much has already happened. I don't even know where to begin to try to describe it 'cause it's just so many things at once. I'm really excited!
When asked about the musical direction of album, Lee said it will sound like Evanescence, but will also incorporate some more leftfield influnces.
"It wouldn't be an Evanescence album if it didn't sound somewhat like Evanescence," she added. "I feel like our band has always had programming and inspirations from Bjork and Depeche Mode and Massive Attack and that kind of thing. It's not like we're making one of those records; it's just, like, that is playing a bigger role in the sound of Evanescence this time. Those little nuances and hints come in in ways that are cool. The sound that we're going for as a group is to fuse synthetic instruments with organic instruments and create something that sounds like a whole new place. It just sounds larger than life."
Evanescence's as-yet-untitled third album will be released in the summer through Virgin.
