In a new interview with Billboard, Amy Lee talks about recording the much-anticipated third Evanescence album. The first single will be released this summer.

After just over three weeks in the studio in New York, Evanescence’s Amy Lee says she feels “like I’m making the best album of my life.”

“I know that seems weird to say, but I wouldn’t be here in the studio making another record if I didn’t think it was going to be better than anything I’ve ever done,” Lee — who came to fame with Evanescence’s seven-times platinum 2003 debut “Fallen” and continued with 2006’s double-platinum “The Open Door” — tells Billboard.com. “I feel like so much has already happened. I don’t even know where to begin to try to describe it…’cause it’s just so many things at once. I’m really excited.”

Here are a couple of awesome TwitVids that Amy tweeted. They show her in the studio working on the third Evanescence album. All these teasers, we’re so spoiled. Love it!

‘A very worthy first twitvid in my opinion…. ladies and gentlemen: Stompin’ Steve’

Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee was the featured guest on Tuesday’s edition of “The Lillywhite Sessions”, the weekly East Village Radio show featuring famed U2 producer Steve Lillywhite.

This is all so exciting! Amy recently spoke to SPIN.com about the much anticipated new Evanescence album set to drop later this year. She talks about band members, the two-year break, influences for the new album and she’s even asked about that new band….you know the one. It’s a great read, check it out below and after the jump:

How did you get a second guy named Will Hunt in your band? That’s freaky.
[Laughs] Well, part of getting back to Evanescence was the new Will Hunt. I met this Will — I call him Will “Science” Hunt because he does a lot of programming and beats — when we recorded “Sally’s Song” for Nightmare Revisited.

Evanescence will be taking over 2010 with their highly anticipated third studio album due for late August/early September release date. Front woman, Amy Lee confirmed that Evanescence will be entering the studio this week to begin work on their third album with Grammy Award Winning producer Steve Lillywhite.

“I can’t expain how excited I am to make this record,” said Amy Lee. “Over the past year and a half these songs have become the center of my life, and I can’t wait to hear what they grow into in the studio. I think our sound is evolving into something that will surprise people, in a very good way. I feel, as always, that growth can be an incredible, limitless thing if you let it. I never want to make the same album twice.”

Evanescence have released a single to raise money for the Haiti earthquake appeal.

‘Together Again‘ has been made available as a free download to anyone who donates over $5 (£3) to the United Nations Foundation through the group’s official website.

The track is an outtake from their second album The Open Door, released in September 2006.

On Wednesday night (November 4) Amy Lee and the rest of Evanescence took to the stage, for the first time in about 2 years, at the Grand Ballroom in New York. Amy looked and sounded amazing! At one point she thanked the fans for coming out to support them at their “rehearsal” gig. She jokingly said: “Thanks for being our guinea pigs.”

A new picture of Amy in the studio was posted on the official Evanescence twitter page. It had the caption: “Recording demos for the new album in my studio.” A second shot has also emerged, thanks to Evanescence-Fan.com. Love both of them! Check them out in the gallery.

The tickets for Evanescence’s upcoming “secret” gig in New York City have already sold out. Amy wrote the following message on Evthreads.com about it:

I can’t believe those tickets went SO FAST. 20 minutes or something? Unreal. You guys are amazing, and I’m really excited. We originally wanted to announce the show a day or 2 before, but that really freaked the venue/promoter/booking agency out. These days they have a hard time packing out a place out even with months of promotion (not all fans are like you!). Thanks for being awesome :)
