Although she was talking about making an electronic/dance album just last year, EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee seems to have put that behind her once and for all. Not only is the new EVANESCENCE record reportedly the band's heaviest yet, but Lee told MTV News that fans will get more of the same when the band tours this fall. She said, "It's just going to be straight-up rock. Big energy. This album is just a fast-paced rock ride . . . We've got three albums now to pull from so, of course, we want to play the new ones but, of course, we're going to play the old ones too. It's going to be a lot."

The new, self-titled EVANESCENCE album, the band's first in five years, is due out October 11.

A first single called "What You Want" is due to hit the radio shortly. The band shot a video for the song last weekend in Brooklyn.

The group recorded a total of 16 tracks for the record, and all 16 will appear on a deluxe edition of the disc.

EVANESCENCE will play its first U.S. show in two years on August 17 in Nashville, with the full North American road trip tentatively scheduled to begin sometime around the album's release.
