Evanescence plan electro album

Evanescence's Amy Lee has revealed that the band has begun recording an electro-influenced album.

The singer told Rolling Stone that the LP will be a mix of "sarcastic aggression" showing a new side to the band.

She cited Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, Portishead, CSS, La Roux and MGMT as some of their influences.

"A lot of bands I've always been inspired by are just coming into play a little more," said Lee.

"There's a lot of stuff that doesn't sound like Evanescence, but the heart of the band of still there."

The band began recording the unnamed album - produced by industry veteran Steve Lillywhite - on February 22.
