Evanescence Release New Single, “The Game Is Over”

Rock out to Evanescence‘s new single “The Game Is Over,” the latest single off their forthcoming album The Bitter Truth, the band’s first original album in nine years.

“The Game Is Over”, showcases a heavier side of Evanescence, with chugging guitars and driving drums. As big fans of Evanescence, we applaud for digging deeper into their rock soul.

Amy Lee had this to say about the track:

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 Game Is Over” follows lead single “Wasted on You,” according to a press release more songs will be released in the coming months with the full album (The Bitter Truth) set for release before the end of the year.
