This Friday, Evanescence released the official music video for their latest single, “Better Without You.” The song is one of the highlights of their new album, The Bitter Truth , featuring a metal vibe with powerful vocals from Amy Lee in a strong anthem of independence.
The music video is a show of lights and colors, which may affect people with photosensitivity. Exploring primary colors (blue, red, and yellow), we see the band playing amidst strobe lights while Amy Lee is stealthily pursued by a figure with a covered face. The dark yet modern aesthetic recalls older Evanescence works and the visual identity of videos like "Sweet Sacrifice".
Regarding The Bitter Truth , Amy Lee commented that the band wanted to explore "a more raw place" for their first album of new material in 10 years. The singer revealed that Evanescence's desire was to "turn the tables and let the band really shine." The album reached number 1 on the charts in 22 countries and peaked at number 4 in the UK, marking the band's first time in the country's Top 5.
