Okay, I have to admit that this thread is really really long so i didn't have time to read it all, and if I'm leaving something important out that you wanna know, say so. I'll check back.
1. Will is working with a band on a side project, Rocky and John are also working on a side project (mourningside), and John also told me about some writing he's doing with a really cool artist (i dont know if i can say who- i dont want to mess it up)- HOWEVER, no one is leaving evanescence.
2. Terry and I have done most of the writing ourselves. I AM a woman of my word, and I know I said I wanted us all to be equal writers on this album, but I have a vision and I love this band too much to sacrifice anything. We all write differently- some things work for evanescence and some things don't. Thats why I've been nothing but encouraging about all of the side-project creativity. We ARE all artists, and one way or another, we are all writing music right now.
3. We are scheduled to go in the studio and begin recording the new album in 3 weeks. . . and I CANT FREAKING WAIT. I'm as restless as you are and dying for you to hear this stuff.
4. We will be done recording and mixing by the end of the year, and I wanted that to mean a December release, but there's alot of press, promotion and work that has to be done, so it won't be on the shelves until March. (That doesn't mean you won't be hearing a single before then, remember. You always hit radio first.)
5. I am more proud of and in love with this new music than anything I've ever been a part of making- including fallen. It is heavy, creative, soulful, sexy, and different- but it is still, naturally, evanescence. (And no, we didn't go so left field that you're not gonna get it.)
6. I love you guys, and I know the negativity is coming from alot of anticipation and anxiety for our new music- I'm so lucky that anyone cares. But seriously, stop worrying. I wont let you down... You think your'e into this band? -its my whole life.
