Hear Evanescence's Elegant New Version of "Lacrymosa"

Evanescence have shared a stunning reworked version of "Lacrymosa," off 2006's album The Open Door. The track is taken from the band's forthcoming album, Synthesis, which comprises remixes of the band's signature songs recorded with a full orchestra and additional electronic effects, as well as previously-unshared material. You can stream it below, and compare and contrast with the original version. "Lacrymosa" follows Amy Lee and Co.'s reinterpreted "Bring Me to Life," shared back in August, and "Imperfection," an emotional ode tackling mental illness and suicide. Last week, the band premiered the latter song's dramatic video, the creation of which was chronicled by Revolver.

Arriving November 10th, Synthesis was composed by Evanescence alongside orchestral arranger and composer David Campbell. (His score for the LP is included in the limited-edition box set edition of the LP, accompanied by a making-of documentary.) "I've always wanted to shine a light on some of the gorgeous David Campbell arrangements and programming elements in our songs," Lee said of her inspiration for the album, "and that idea snowballed into completely re-doing them with full orchestras, elaborate programming, and experimentation." Evanescence recently kicked off a tour in support of the record, which also finds them joined by a full orchestra.
