Watch Evanescence’s brand new promo for their latest single The Game Is Over - song will feature on their upcoming album The Bitter Truth

Evanescence have premiered a video for their new single titled The Game Is Over.

The band unveiled the song earlier this week – the second track taken from their highly anticipated new studio album The Bitter Truth.

Evanescence shared the first track from the record, Wasted On You, in April.

Explaining the lyrics, vocalist Amy Lee said: “This song is about being sick of the facade. The disguises we wear for others to make them feel comfortable, the inside feelings being so different than what we show on the outside to fit within the boundaries of what’s socially acceptable, or what’s not going to make you unpleasant or too ‘weird’ to be around.  

“The Game Is Over is a promise to myself and out loud that I’m going to be more of my real, inner self on the outside – not lock her up because she can’t be contained any more. 

“It’s also a prayer to become better, to not feel so messed up, locked up, and hurt inside.”

Evanescence will head out on the Worlds Collide tour with Within Temptation next year, after their 2020 plans were put on hold due to the lockdown.

All previously purchased tickets and VIP packages will remain valid for the rescheduled dates, while those seeking refunds should contact their point of purchase.
