Author Benedetta Baldin - 10.4.2026

Evanescence has revealed that their sixth studio album, “Sanctuary,” will be released on June 5th through BMG, as per theprp. This huge reveal from the diamond-certified alternative metal band follows some brief teasing on social media and various pasts allusions of the outing being in the works last year. On April 9th, the group announced this new record on social media in a succinct manner. “Who Will You Follow” is a brand-new song that welcomes you into the band’s new era. The band’s previously released song “Afterlife” is also included on this record, thus technically it’s the second single to be released from that 12-song outing. The song was first written for Netflix’s 2025 anime adaptation of the video game series “Devil May Cry.” Another collaboration between Evanescence and the former keyboardist of Bring Me The Horizon is “Who Will You Follow.” This song was co-produced by Jordan Fish and Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember).
