The 50 best albums of 2021
It’s here: the Kerrang! verdict on the 50 albums that shaped 2021… www.kerrang.com/the-50-best-albums-of-2021December 10, 2021 #49: Evanescence – The Bitter Truth
A few months shy of a full decade since we last got a new Evanescence album, the return of Amy Lee brought with it a new perspective for the singer. Where previously she had operated under a certain level of shadow and non-specific ambiguity, on The Bitter Truth there was a more clear, open heart. Ahead of the record last year, she took a pop at former President Donald Trump, realising that her position afforded the opportunity to say something meaningful and help make the world – however much of a grain of sand it was – a better place. Inspired by that year's Black Lives Matter demonstrations, Use My Voice – also featuring Lzzy Hale, Taylor Momsen and Sharon den Adel among others – signalled the new era for Evanescence as a whole, and throughout the final album six months later a spirit of defiance, positivity and building something good with others shone through. It may have taken an age to emerge, but it made The Bitter Truth another distinct, inspiring chapter in the Evanescence story. (NR)
