Modern rock icons Evanescence<\/a> are on the cover of the new Metal Hammer! As the band prepare to release their anticipated new album, Sanctuary, we speak to Amy Lee<\/a> about how she wrote it, as well as her decades-long evolution into a true icon. The issue also comes with two exclusive Evanescence gifts: a logo keyring, and a foil sticker in the Sanctuary album colours.<\/p>\n

Inside the magazine, Amy tells us that she called the album \u2018Sanctuary\u2019 because the music represents a place of safety and truth at \u201ca chaotic and violent time where more and more it feels like things are spiralling out of control\u201d in the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During the making of Sanctuary, she was in a very different headspace to when she recorded 2003 debut album Fallen<\/a>, and its breakout mega-hit, Bring Me To Life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was in my 20s and we were doing Fallen, the music was very introverted because I was looking in,\u201d she explains. \u201cAs you go through life and you have experience, you have to look out.\u201d<\/p>\n
