Evanescence have released a new video for their recent single, “Better Without You,” which appears on the rock outfit’s new album, The Bitter Truth .
Directed by Eric D. Howell, the “Better Without You” clip is an epic spectacle befitting the mighty track. Interspersed with footage of Evanescence performing the cut, the video sees Amy Lee wandering through a labyrinthian space bathed in red light, ultimately breaking down the walls that surround her with both her voice and a mic stand wielded like a battering ram.
Evanescence released The Bitter Truth in March. The album follows the group’s 2017 effort, Synthesis .

EVANESCENCE Face Up To 'The Bitter Truth' | HEAVY Magazine
After almost a decade bereft of original music releases, Evanescence late last month released their latest album The Bitter Truth via Sony Music Australia .
The result has overwhelmed fans and newcomers alike, with its harder-edged, out and out rock sensibilities surprising even the most diehard of fans. It s an epic, guitar-driven album, accentuated by the unmistakable prowess of vocalist Amy Lee , solidifying her reputation as "one of rock's defining voices".
Drummer Will Hunt sat down with HEAVY to talk about the album and what Evanescence has been doing for the better part of ten years.
“Man I tell you what this has been incredible," he enthused of the album's reception. "I don't even know how to explain it… we’re just beyond grateful. The gratitude is immense for how well this record is doing and it’s incredible to think that we haven't really put out a full-length record in over ten years with new original material and people are just gravitating t it the way that they are. I think even people that aren’t Evanescence fans – legit Evanescence fans – are even enjoying this record. It speaks volumes to the perseverance of the band; the perseverance of what Amy has set out to do and what we tried to do together and we’re really blessed and happy and grateful. It’s incredible.”
Despite the fact that Evanescence have been out of the public spotlight for so long, Hunt says the band always felt confident in the knowledge their enduring fan base would stay loyal.
“We did the Synthesis record in 2017 and we went on tour for that and we thought there might be five people a night at this thing or it might do great and wildly it sold out all over the world. We did two sold-out nights at Sydney Opera House amongst other places and it was perceived as this really cool adventurous thing so I think that gave us the confidence to say let’s just do what we want. There’s no pressure. Let's just do what we want, make a record that we’re proud of and hopefully, that transcends and I think… without Synthesis we wouldn't have been able to make this record the way we made it."
In the full interview, Will talks about the songs on the album and its heavier leanings, the focus of The Bitter Truth after a decade away, the writing process and how it differed from the past, the overall message of The Bitter Truth , the recently released DVD Evanescence: Embracing The Bitter Truth and more.

Amy Lee talks Evanescence's enduring success
Amy Lee of Evanescence joined The Record Club with Bowers & Wilkins to talk all about the band's fifth studio album, The Bitter Truth.
The Bitter Truth entered at Number 4 on the Official Albums Chart last month, and topped the Official Rock & Metal Albums Chart - which The Record Club's host Jess Iszatt celebrated with Amy before asking how it feels to maintain such a strong fanbase almost two decades on from the release of their debut album Fallen.
"I just feel a huge gratitude to our fans around the world, we don't put out an album every year or every other year, it's pretty few and far between for us so a lot goes into it so it truly is a special event when it happens. But over and over again, this humbling gift the way that our fans have been there for us in these long times between new music."
"The fact that I get to do still it, to still get up on the stage, still make the music and put it out, it's something I will never take for granted - so thank you."
Elsewhere in the interview, the pair chatted about Evanescence's upcoming Record Store Day releases , plus Amy offered some advice to her younger self and other women finding their way in the music industry.
The Record Club in association with Bowers & Wilkins is a series brought to you by Official Charts, Record Store Day UK and National Album Day, which takes place every other Wednesday at 6.30pm BST.
