It's just a shame that we don't get to see the album that they wanted to release. I think if they do say goodbye, if we get the chance to say goodbye, they should release the album that they want to, with the music that best represents themselves, rather than Wind-Up.

^^They should totally reunite with Lillywhite (or another producer they've always wanted to work with and coudn't due to Wind-Up) and start from scratch, then release that album as their last. If they really want it, of course, like someone else said, if they do it only to please the fans it's not going to make any sense.

Ok,first, OMG that baby pic is sooooo FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIEEEE. I'm really happy for Amy,motherhood is such a big and wonderful step in life. I totally understand and respect her choice, I totally do. You don't want to be touring and singing the same songs you wrote 5 - 20 years ago, when you have this adorable baby and a husband who's there waiting for you. But my Evheart is bleeding.
I grew up with Ev, Fallen and Origin helped me through the hard teenage years, TOD was there when I was starting university, the music became more grown-up. And Ev3, it was there at a moment when I became happy and satisfied with my life. It's like having a companion with me, who I knew, would be there during the different stages of my life. And now there's emptiness.
I'm gonna be completely honest. I can't express my love for the music of Evanescence, it's immense really. I've known Fallen since 2003 and I'm still loving those songs to death. And I know Evanescence has always been kind of more Amy than the guys, but hell, I'm gonna miss the guys. They have proven to be replaceble, Amy isn't (We Are The Fallen is proof for me). But the combination of her angelic vocals and the music of either Ben, or Terry or Troy, that was magic. I do like Amy solo, but I often miss the atmosphere of the band. So yeah,it makes me quite sad not knowing if there is ever going to be released some more of the Evanescence I love. And what makes me more sad, I'm never going to see the band live again. I'm never gonna meet this woman after a gig. *teary*
That being said, I'm looking forward to Aftermath, and I'm gonna support Amy with any thing she comes up with.

And now there's emptiness. ^^ this. Funny thing that the whole War Story and Aftermath "era" reflects my life's feels again. I love this. .. I didn't know if i can post this but eventually i decided to Push The Button. I can agree with many things that were said in this thread, actually. I don't feel it as a conflict but -- I wish to see Amy in person once again. It was so adorable every time. And it's honestly not quieten down by all these years, even by the distance where I live in. There's nothing like " i can die now, i had enough!" I don't want to. Thanks to her awesome personality. It probably means i will need to travel a lot to see her.. maybe even fly.. brrr. I don't know yet, I don't know how to cope with that. Maybe i will have to change certain things in my life to have money for crazy trips like this... But I'm not prepared to STOP. I know it can take time to grasp all of this. Sorry. I just can't process this sentence: This is not true. I admire the calmness with which you say that. I probably miss some kind of detachment in this point. Sorry. I'm always sad when any band officially ENDS its existence. (I saw The Agonist with Alyssa, yes. But it's no better.) Maybe it's just because i'm still not sure, what exactly I am and what should I do with myself, what is the purpose of this life other than die, fangirl, paint, feel empty, die again etc. (haha). Amy inspired me to continue breathing when it was really hard. What will happen next? I prefer to hope there will be one happy Amy, her breathtaking conceptual art that makes her feel good and then maybe - when she's ready - a little Evanescence tour one day again. No endings please, thank you.

I love that we're getting so much information about Aftermath! Dark Water, the "Arabian" song featuring Malika Zarra sounds especially interesting. If you're interested, here's a song by her: youtu.be/yzO_t-9ZdYYAnd here's what the oud (an instrument mentioned in the interview) sounds like: youtu.be/c2WoTk111_cThe sound is so calming and beautiful; I love it

About the picture... Is the thing in the background water or snow? Is she on a dock or a garden? So confused.

I completely agree with what you've said and how I don't want Evanescence to end either. Evanescence were my first bit of mature music. Back in 2003 when I was 11, I would have been rather childish (S Club 7 era), but then I heard Bring Me to Life and it was so good. I started looking at things differently and looking into the lyrics and matured a lot. Then came 2006 and I was 14 and The Open Door came and it was at my most moody and gothic periods (not that I was ever a goth). Then I matured a lot and long term relationships came and unfortunately ended when 2011 came and Evanescence was released. At that point, the album defined my life and it was everything that I felt and couldn't articulate. With Aftermath possibly being the next milestone, it feels like this rock music is actually disappearing, much like my childhood. It's calm and everything my adult life now should be...but I would like to small taste of childhood every so often.

And it looks like Amy's wearing a bathing suit with a cover. I love the bit about getting a seat on the subway. Just rub your belly and look desperate. Hahaha.
