Evanescence release new music video for ‘The Chain (From Gears 5)’

EVANESCENCE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Chain (From Gears 5), is the official video for the song that was used in the promotional campaign for Gears 5, the latest game in the popular Gears of War video game series. The cover is the band’s first new recorded rock music in eight years.

The new music video was directed by frequent collaborator P.R. Brown [MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, John Mayer, GREEN DAY], the piece blends powerful, epic performance visuals with footage from the launch trailer for the game. To emulate the aesthetic of Gears 5, a miniature set was constructed for the music video that parallels the dystopian environment of the game.

“The lyrics make me feel the power of standing together against great forces trying to pull us apart, perhaps even from the inside. I really wanted to drive that home in our version,” lead singer Amy Lee elaborates. P.R. Brown adds, “the goal of the video is to show the bond of this band as they deliver a powerful take on a classic song. The tie in with Gears 5 presented an opportunity to combine the game world together with the band performance in a post-apocalyptic setting. The band emerges from the ashes to come together. We wanted to bring these worlds together and feel both the force of the band and the game.”
