EVANESCENCE: 'Making Of Sweet Sacrifice' Video Available

May 3, 2007

A seven-minute clip containing behind-the-scenes footage of the making of EVANESCENCE's "Sweet Sacrifice" music video has been posted at YouTube. The finished clip can be seen at this location.

In a recent interview with MTV.com, EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee said about the clip, "It's mostly live performance. It's not so much fluff and flying and tricks and wolves and stuff. It's more really just about the song, and that is unique for us. We usually do crazy stuff."

The video does have a "cool twist," which Lee refused to reveal, but it mainly features the band performing on a set inspired by 2000's psychotherapist thriller "The Cell". "Like we're in the walls of our minds, sort of," Lee said.

Paul Brown, who has directed videos for AUDIOSLAVE and MATISYAHU, helmed the project, which features scenes of the live footage projected onto a wall.

"It's gonna be sort of like a video within the video," Lee said. "Since the song is our heaviest single, we really wanted to focus on mostly performance but still have something about it that's really unique. And I think [Paul] really hit the nail on the head."

"Sweet Sacrifice", the first track on the album, has been a favorite of Lee's since she first demoed it, although it never stood out as an obvious single.

"I think it's very strong and empowering and sort of saying goodbye to all the times in my life that I've been a victim," Lee said. "I just think it's heavy."
