The Bitter Truth Tracklist
The final tracklisting is unconfirmed. It is compiled of recent singles, snippets, and song titles sourced from streaming services and social media. The tracklist will be updated when more information becomes available.
The Bitter Truth is the upcoming fifth album by Evanescence, which will be recorded in sections during 2020, and the new music will go back to its rock roots, and it will feature new songs as well outtakes from Evanescence and Synthesis.
Amy explained that the new music is “dark and heavy” and has “The Open Door vibes” in terms of it having “weird and sparse” moments. Some songs were described as belonging to a “electronic, weird, mid-tempo world.” The first four songs were recorded and produced by Nick Raskulinecz in early 2020, with the first single “Wasted On You” released on April 24, 2020. The second single, “The Game is Over”, was released on July 1, 2020. The third single, “Use My Voice”, was released on August 14, 2010, and was originally intended as the first single.
In July, the band re-entered the studio to resume recording and writing. The band aimed at working with a different producer each time they hit the studio, but ended up working with only one due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“The Bitter Truth” Q&A
-
when is it coming out, has it a deluxe edition with bonus studio songs? on cd?
No date has been confirmed yet. It’s probably coming out later this year, or it might be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic as the band can’t get together to finish recording. They have only 4 finished songs so far!

What have the artists said about the album in regards to the musical direction?
It’s a combination of a lot of things. It’s definitely one hundred percent us, but it’s also taking risks. And I think it’s meaningful — it’s deeply meaningful. But at the same time, a lot of it has attitude. I don’t know if I can explain that super well, but some of our music is like that. If you can listen back and think about, especially some of the later music, like ‘What You Want’ or ‘Call Me When You’re Sober’, there’s a track or two in there that is the next step from that in its feeling, I would say.
