Amy Lee and Emma Anzai appeared on a recent episode of “Trunk Nation” with Eddie Trunk.
On Faction Talk’s “Trunk Nation” with Eddie Trunk, Eddie welcomes Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee and bassist Emma Anzai for an in-depth conversation about Evanescence‘s new album, “Sanctuary,” and their current massive world tour.
Amy opens up about the five-year creative journey behind the record, working with multiple producers including Nick Raskulinecz and Zakk Cervini, and why she refuses to rush the artistic process. The duo shares hilarious Spinal Tap moments from the road, including kabuki curtains falling on Amy mid-performance and Emma’s pants splitting on stage. They discuss the evolving role of radio in breaking new music, the oversaturation problem in today’s industry, and why live shows remain the most powerful way to connect with fans. Amy also reveals her father’s radio background and how it shaped her musical education, while Emma reflects on her influences from bands like Silverchair and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
