Amy Lee Evanescence Sanctuary album

GRAMMY® Award-winning rock band Evanescence has officially released their highly anticipated new song "Who Will You Follow" — available now for streaming worldwide. This powerful track serves as the latest preview of their upcoming album Sanctuary, arriving June 5, 2026.

The Evanescence new song "Who Will You Follow" was co-written and produced by Zakk Cervini (Bad Omens, YUNGBLUD, Bring Me The Horizon, Spiritbox) and Jordan Fish (Bring Me The Horizon, Poppy, House of Protection, Architects). The single follows the band's recent chart-dominating hits "Afterlife" and "Fight Like A Girl (feat. K.Flay)."

 

Amy Lee Reflects on Three-Year Journey to "Sanctuary"

Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee opened up about the emotional weight behind the band's upcoming eighth studio album.

"This album is over three years in the making, and finally listening back to it all at once, about to release it to the world, I am so damn proud of every second of it. It's overwhelming. Working on it has been my outlet for so much that feels wrong and out of control, and a place to ignite hope through the power of music and connection… good thing we have the tour all lined up or I wouldn't know what to do with myself now! I've been completely obsessed. I'm dying for the fans to hear this."

The Evanescence new song "Who Will You Follow" joins a 12-track lineup that blends production from Cervini and Fish alongside songs produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Korn, Foo Fighters, Rush).

About Evanescence

Emerging in 2003, Evanescence reshaped rock music with Fallen — a cinematic blend of rock, metal, and symphonic piano-driven melodies led by powerhouse vocalist Amy Lee. The band has released five studio albums, including the chart-topping The Open Door and Evanescence. Their 2021 release The Bitter Truth marked a triumphant return, while their global touring reached new heights with their largest headline show to date at Allianz Parque Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil.

2025 proved landmark for the band: "End of You" — a collaboration between Amy Lee, Poppy, and Spiritbox's Courtney LaPlante — was named Revolver's Song of the Year and made history as the first all-female collaboration to reach #1 at US Rock Radio.

Now with the Evanescence new song "Who Will You Follow" leading the charge, Sanctuary signals an exciting new chapter for the band as they continue captivating audiences worldwide.

Prosecutor to Farmer: Respond to Subpoena Now!

With the knowledge that farmers or the masses have no means to get good defense lawyers (except from the Public Attorney's Office or PAO whose officers hardly follow the examples of Attorney General Persida Acosta) fast, if they ever get one at all,  Deputy Provincial Prosecutor James Gerald R. Florendo issued the subpoena below requiring respondent - a farmer from the rural barangays of Santo Domingo in Ilocos Sur, to respond to the accusation of cyber libel, the same day that the farmer received the subpoena delivered by the police in Wednesday, January 7, this tear   The respondent was required to answer the allegations of the town's Municipal Agricultural Officer (MAO) Randy Jose Reburon who filed the case. Apparently, the comment in a social media post "John Park, brother... Please let us help each other... let us make a complain letter . I should be ashamed because the MAO is from our barangay. But there are a lot of complaints. He is ignoring us. he even defies the ...

Built a Nation, Abandoned by It: The Silent Battle of the Jeepney Pioneer

Francisco Motors Corporation  (FMC) is one of the country's pioneering jeepney builders. Over the years, FMC transitioned from refurbishing war-era jeeps to designing its iconic models, including its modern electric jeepney launched around 2018. FMC’s modern electric jeep costs around ₱985,000/unit— far cheaper than government-endorsed modern jeepneys priced between ₱1.3 and 3 million. 85% locally built (body, motor, chassis); batteries still imported, but for the first 1000 units only. These modern jeeps are designed with urban routes in mind, offering a 150 km range (approximately five trips) and utilizing 50 kWh batteries, which can be charged via the CCS2 standard. As add-on options, the package includes modern features: AC, CCTV, GPS, cashless fares, wheelchair ramps for PWDs, speed limiters, and emergency exits—while keeping the classic jeepney aesthetic. Although FMC produces affordable, culturally resonant units, several obstacles hinder its inclusion in the governmen...

Why This Café Is the Next Big Franchise Opportunity for the New Generation

  The name “I Want Cofi” was inspired by a simple, everyday craving—the moment when you want something comforting and familiar. While coffee is at the heart of the brand, I Want Cofi was created to be more than just a coffee shop. “It’s a journey in every cup.”   At first glance, the cafe may appear as a cute dessert spot where you can hang out and relax. Nonetheless, upon closer inspection, IWantCofi Maginhawa operates a single storefront service similar to one of the Philippines' largest fast-food restaurants.   You can order at the counter, scan its QR code, use the automated machines, all of which offer several options for your convenience, or use the QR code on our visual with the IWC Maginhawa logo and address on the lower right of the photo. It's current, trendy, technological, and intuitive!   Definitely, it's a new storefront with character!   IWantCofi Maginhawa is also a fast-food-inspired café enterprise committed to a specific miss...
