Evanescence returns finally with new album!

Evanescence did just that, heading to Blackbird Studio in Nashville to work with producer Nick Raskulinecz on the follow-up to The Open Door. They've nearly finished — Amy Lee said there are currently 16 songs at or near completion — and earlier this week, their longtime label, Wind-up Records announced that the album would be hitting stores October 4, 2011. Lee told MTV News that the new album will be self-titled, a decision that's not only symbolic, but an all-out statement too.
