Evanescence’s sixth studio album features the single, “Who Will You Follow.”

Evanescence was founded in 1994 by singer and keyboardist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. The band released their debut album “The Fallen” in ’03 with the singles “Bring Me To Life” and “My Immortal.”

6/5 Cyhra: Requiem For A Pipe Dream

Cyhra’s fourth studio album features single, “Bleed With Pride.”

“For a long time, I carried the weight of the past like something that needed to be buried,” offers Cyhra’s Joacim “Jake E” Keelyn. “But the truth is, those wounds kept me honest. They became my compass.”

Keelyn had this to say about the title track: “This song is about the internal war — the silent thunder you fight inside — and choosing not to let it drown you.”

6/5 August Burns Red: Season Of Surrender

The Metalcore band’s eleventh full-length effort features the track “The Nameless.”

“Lyrically, ‘The Nameless’ is a song about not wasting your life away for the sake of acceptance and comfortability,” notes August Burns Red vocalist Jake Luhrs. “Sometimes it takes detaching from what you’ve been told, or from the beliefs you are no longer aligned with, in order to face your own weaknesses. In doing so you can break free to live a life you are proud of.”
