Evanescence release new song ‘The Game is Over’

EVANESCENCE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Game Is Over, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album The Bitter Truth which will be released incrementally throughout this year. A iPhone-shot, neon-nightmare of a video for the song will go live Friday July 3rd at 12pm ET/5pm UK during a live YouTube premiere featuring a fan Q&A with Amy Lee.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Amy Lee says, “this song is about being sick of the facade. The disguises we wear for others to make them feel comfortable, the inside feelings being so different than what we show on the outside to fit within the boundaries of what’s socially acceptable, or what’s not going to make you unpleasant or too ‘weird’ to be around. The Game is Over is a promise to myself and out loud that I’m going to be more of my real, inner self on the outside–not lock her up because she can’t be contained anymore. It’s also a prayer to become better, to not feel so messed up, locked up, and hurt inside.”

The Bitter Truth will be released incrementally over the course of this year.
