Evanescence Release ‘Who Will You Follow’ Video As Sanctuary Draws Closer

Share

Evanescence have unveiled the official music video for their latest single “Who Will You Follow,” giving fans a powerful new visual chapter ahead of the release of their longawaited new album Sanctuary.

Directed by acclaimed visual collaborator Jensen Noen, whose previous work includes videos for major heavy acts, the clip leans into Evanescence’s trademark cinematic darkness while amplifying the song’s modern, urgent intensity.

The track first arrived in April as the first major standalone taste of Sanctuary, the band’s first full length studio album in several years, due out June 5th via BMG.

Produced by an impressive trio of heavy music hitmakers in Zakk Cervini, Jordan Fish and Nick Raskulinecz, the album signals a heavier and more contemporary sonic evolution for the band.

Speaking on the album’s release, frontwoman Amy Lee said:

“This album is over three years in the making, and finally listening back to it all at once, about to release it to the world, I am so damn proud of every second of it. It’s overwhelming. Working on it has been my outlet for so much that feels wrong and out of control, and a place to ignite hope through the power of music and connection.”

“Who Will You Follow” follows the release of “Afterlife,” the band’s Devil May Cry tie in track, and offers another glimpse into the emotional and sonic scope of Sanctuary.

The video drop also adds fuel to growing speculation that Evanescence could be plotting a return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026, after online retail listings recently hinted at a forthcoming regional tour announcement tied to Sanctuary pre-orders.

For now, the focus is firmly on the music, and if “Who Will You Follow” is any indication, Evanescence are entering one of their boldest creative eras yet.
