The track was originally released in March, and it plays during Episodes 6 & 7 of the show.
“The afterlife / Save me from this pain and fill the hole inside / You wonder why I’m all out of tears to cry / Today I’m not, not afraid to die,” Amy Lee sings.
“This came up through Netflix and the score composer from some of the music from the new Devil May Cry series, his name’s Mako, and we’ve worked together on a Lindsey Stirling track during pandemic. We never met in person, we’re computer pals,” Amy explained on Radio 1’s Rock Show.
“He had this song started and I thought it was a great start, really cool, kind of an unique direction for the melody in the beginning, but originally it was supposed to be like an Amy Lee thing, kind of a solo thing, and then as it started growing and building, everyone was like, ‘This kind of like sounds like it could be an Evanescence song, do we wanna do that?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, we wanna do that. Let’s get the band in here, let’s take this all away.’ Got into a place, and then got into a studio with Nick Raskulinecz, who’s done our last two records. We got an awesome working relationship, we just got in there together and really hammered it out and took it there together and had a blast,” she went on.
“We just had so much pent up creative energy that we’d been holding on to on the road that now I feel like it’s just spilling out of every pore. Feels very good to have new music to listen to.”
