Evanescence - Synthesis Live [2LP/ 180G] (MOV)

In 2003, Evanescence released Fallen, one of the most decade-defining albums (and one of the most successful debut albums of all time) and have gone on to became one of the most well-loved and respected bands of their generation. In the 15 years since their debut, Evanescence founder and lead-singer, Amy Lee, toured the world, has scored motion picture films and even took a three year break to start a family. In late 2017, Evanescence re-emerged from their hiatus with Synthesis – a re-imagining of their best-known songs with orchestra and electronics and an accompanying sold-out and highly-acclaimed world tour.

On November 3, 2017 Evanescence performed Synthesis Live in front of a sold out crowd at the Grand Theater at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, CT. The songs spanned Evanescence's 20-year history, reinvented with a full orchestra over a deep electronic landscape. Synthesis is a soulful and sweepingly grandiose event to witness live. Seated at the piano, Lee opens the set with a single note that builds into the instrumental "Overture," seamlessly leading into the crushing wave that is "Never Go Back." "Bring Me To Life," the anthem that lead many people to discover Evanescence, reaches a new level of power and emotion with a pounding, electric heartbeat and soaring orchestral accompaniment, while songs like "My Immortal," "Lithium" and "Lost in Paradise" evoke heartbreaking scenes from a beautiful, timeless film.

Amy Lee's incredible vocal range and the group's expressive, multi-layered music naturally lends itself to orchestral accompaniment, shining a light on the singular beauty of the arrangements by composer David Campbell and conducted by Susie Seiter - creating a truly dynamic, cinematic sound. Lee has called this, "a passion project," which undoubtedly shines through. The sense of occasion is not lost on the band or audience alike in this unique and highly emotive show. Gatefold 180g vinyl 2LP-set with 4-page booklet.
