According to a post by Rocky’s sister in law, Michelle, the album has now been pushed back to a September date with a video and single release in July.
The release of the unnamed new cd from EV has been officially pushed back to September. The reason, Wind-Up wants to make a few changes to the upcoming single. This single, given there are no more delays, will be release along with a video in July. No dates have been scheduled as of yet for the video shoot so this could change….again.
It seems like hard rock act Evanescence have been taking their sweet time with a follow up to 2003’s 6x platinum “Fallen,†but the band is assuring their fans new material is on its way, it’s just taken a little longer than expected.The future of Evanescence was left up in the air in late 2003 when the band’s founding member, guitarist and songwriter abruptly left the outfit citing of course “creative differences.†But new guitarist Terry Balsamo was soon recruited by front woman Amy Lee and the pair have been writing music for the yet-to-be-titled sophomore album ever since. “We’ll be done mixing next week!†Lee said according to Contactmusic.com. “I can hardly believe it, we’ve been working on this album for so long. The stuff sounds so good. … Wow, what a trip this has been.†Lee has previously claimed she would not compromise her art for anything or rush the creative process in any way – hence the slow progression of the new album. The singer/songwriter even penned a track for the “Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe†which was knocked back for being too dark for the kid’s flick.
Lee continues: “It’s going to be hard to hold this music in all summer. I really want to thank you guys again for being so patient – I know it’s gonna be worth it.†The new album is rumoured to hit shelves in August, but an official statement is yet to be released.
Hey guys. Terry and I are sitting here in the control room at the studio- well be done mixing next week! I can hardly believe it, weve been working on this album for so long. The stuff sounds so good… Wow, what a trip this has been. I just wanted to say hi, check in with you and let you know that Terry is doing really well (he is downloading pantera ringtones right now and trying to get one of us to call him), Fortman is ruling it (in deep thought at the mixing board) and I am trying to figure out the order of the songs for the album. Its going to be hard to hold this music in all summer. haha! Terry just said to thanks for all you guys’ support, and all the kind words. I really want to thank you guys again for being so patient- i know its gonna be worth it. Hang in there! Ill keep you guys posted.
love
amy and terry

“In many ways Caitlin Dolaghan was just like any other California teen – worried about getting her driver’s liscense and what to wear to the prom. But when we introduced Caitlin, then 18, to our reader’s last fall in a story about the nation’s first free-standing hospice for kids (“A Place to Say Goodbye,” Oct. 31, 2005), she was also battling metastatic osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. Earlier this month Cailin lost her fight. She died at home on Jan 12, surrounded by her mother, Carol, dad John, sister Peggy and brother Wilson.
PEOPLE chronicled Caitlin’s struggle and also the time she spent at George Mark Children’s House, an extraordinary San Leandro, Calif., facility for dying kids, where she volunteered as an art instructor. Says GMCH cofounder Kathy Hull:”Caitlin’s willingness to share and the time and energy she spent to tell her story to so many people were amazing.” Our readers thought so too. Some 250 made financial donations to the home. Two people called Caitlin personally to offer support, Amy Lee, lead singer of Caitlin’s favorite band Evanescence, and Johnny Depp, who phoned from a movie set in the Bahamas to invite Caitlin to Los Angeles-a trip she enever got the chance to make. The memory of Caitlin’s courage remains vivid for those who came to know her. Donations in her honor can be made to Comfort for Kids at http://www.hospicecc.org/.”
Singer Amy Lee of EVANESCENCE has sued her former manager, Dennis Rider of Rider Management, for breach of fiduciary duty, professional negligence, conversion, sexual assault and battery, and other claims.
According to the complaint, which was filed today (Dec. 7) in Los Angeles Superior Court, Lee retained Rider to serve as her personal manager commencing on or about September 5, 2002. As her manager, “Rider owed Lee the highest fiduciary duty to promote Lee’s career, to look out for her best interests and to take care of her business. Instead, Rider has neglected Lee’s career and business, and has focused his efforts on having extramarital affairs, hiding them from his wife, becoming intoxicated during business meetings, physically abusing women and boasting about it, making repeated unwelcome sexual advances toward Lee, receiving fees in excess of what was provided for in his management agreement, and using Lee’s corporate credit card to purchase lavish gifts for his mistress — without Lee’s knowledge or consent — including an $18,000 automobile and a week-long vacation in Florida.”
Lee claims in her complaint that “Rider has made repeated overt, unwelcome sexual advances to Lee (his client). On one occasion he put his head in Lee’s lap and ran his hand up her leg, when she sat next to him on a couch to listen to a demo of songs for her next album. On a different occasion, Rider put his hand on Lee’s leg while he sat next to her on an airplane — where she was captive to his advances. On a third occasion, Rider told Lee that he wanted to perform a gynecological examination on her.”
Lee is seeking “general and special damages in an amount according to proof at trial” as well as “punitive or exemplary damages.” She is also asking to be reimbursed “for all unauthorized and excessive expenditures” and attorneys’ fees.

As previously reported, Rider filed a lawsuit against Lee last week over alleged unpaid commissions. Under the agreement, Rider Management was entitled to 20 percent of gross earnings. He is asking for a minimum of $10 million.
EVANESCENCE’s major-label debut, “Fallen”, has sold 6.36 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Evanescence’s iconic frontwoman, Amy Lee, has posted a statement on Evanescence’s website:
“I know everyone is dying to hear whats going on, and it’s been a little while since I’ve posted.
“There’s some stuff I really shouldn’t talk about right now, but I want you to know that the record is coming out beautifully. Through all of the scary and insane drama over the last six months, there has also been a lot of good – I feel like a new person.
“As most of you already know, Terry [Balsamo, Evanescence /ex-COLD guitarist] had a stroke in November. A small chunk of this recording process was spent in the neurology unit at ULCA. Every time he would wake up, all he could talk about was getting out of the hospital and playing guitar. He actually had us bring his polka-dot Randy Rhoads guitar to the hospital. It’s funny – after being stuck on lyrics for a month on one song, I remember finally writing them at the foot of Terry’s bed in intensive care. It’s wild how life inspires you – again reminding me that we have no control over anything.
“It’s been two months, and Terry has made miraculous progress. He is in the studio with us right now, and everything is going ahead as planned. We are certain that he will make a full recovery – he’s too stubborn to settle for anything less. Meanwhile, we were (and are) going through firing our manager, and as you can see (all over the freaking Internet), that hasn’t been very easy for us either. BUT it always hurts to break through to the other side – to make the changes you have to make to help yourself, and I already feel so good. Weird. I feel better than I have in years. I love my album, I love my band, and I’m grateful for our lives. This album is meaning more and more to me as we finish it. Most of it was written when we came into the studio, but much more has poured out through all of this, making it that much better – that much more passionate.
“We will be finished with mixing and everything by March First. THAT MEANS it will be early fall when the album is actually on the shelf. We’re thinking August.
“I hope you can understand the delay, and I promise the music will be worth it. I just can’t wait to share it with everyone.
“Thank you all for being so patient and supportive. We love you!”
Evanescence guitarist Terry Balsamo is recovering from a stroke.
Singer Amy Lee has posted a message on the Evanescence message board saying Balsamo had a stroke in November. She says he was in the intensive care unit for a while and he’s made “miraculous progress.”She says when Balsamo would wake up all he could talk about was getting out of the hospital and playing guitar. He even made them bring his guitar to the hospital.
In Lee’s words, “We are certain that he will make a full recovery – he’s too stubborn to settle for anything less.”
Lee also expects the next Evanescence album to be out by the fall.
