Evanescence Brought The Orpheum To Life In Boston

The Orpheum Theatre was a fitting venue for Evanescence to take the stage with a full orchestra to perform their newest record, Synthesis. This is their first album since 2011, and it showcases a collection of the bands music reimagined with orchestral and electronic elements added. The album itself is set to drop on November 10th, but the show was a sensational display with tantalizing lighting as a backdrop for this epic pairing, and they delivered in full to a packed house in downtown Boston.
It is not common for an alternative rock band to open their shows with a performance of Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’, but when a live orchestra is your support then you can afford such a luxury. There have been other bands that have used a live orchestra in their performances, Metallica’s ‘S&M’ album jumps to mind, but Evanescence made it their own and used it to spectacular effect when performing their new album in its entirety.
The orchestra complimented Amy Lee’s hauntingly beautiful vocals seamlessly, and the audience was on their feet when the band started playing ‘Bring Me To Life’. A perfect example of how a record released in 2003 can still hold its own in 2017. The set ranged from intense, electronic drumbeats to beautiful melodies floating over a soft piano- a dynamic and versatile performance that was incredibly entertaining to watch.
​

‘Synthesis’ is to be released on November 10th, and going off of the tracks currently available as well as the performance on Sunday night it will be something inspiring. Don’t be fooled into thinking Evanescence are just nostalgia to your teenage years, they are still going strong and I would highly recommend trying to catch them on this tour.
