'''Evanescence''' are featured on the cover of the May 2026 issue of ''Metal Hammer'' magazine in support of their sixth studio album, ''[[Sanctuary]]'', released on June 5, 2026.

The issue includes a new interview with [[Amy Lee]], discussing the creation of ''Sanctuary'', the band's musical evolution, and the themes explored throughout the album. According to Lee, the album's title reflects the idea of finding safety and truth during a turbulent period in the world.

The magazine also includes two exclusive Evanescence-themed gifts: a logo keyring and a foil sticker featuring the album's red-and-blue visual aesthetic.

In the feature, Lee reflects on how her songwriting perspective has changed since the release of the band's debut album ''[[Fallen]]'' (2003), explaining that her earlier work was more introspective while newer material focuses more on the world around her.

== Background ==

The issue was released on May 28, 2026, shortly before the release of ''Sanctuary''. The cover photos were taken by photographer Travis Shinn and feature all current members of Evanescence.

The magazine issue was promoted by ''Metal Hammer'' and Louder Sound as part of the album's press campaign.

== Reception ==

Following the magazine's release, fans praised the cover photography and exclusive merchandise included with the issue. Early discussion online also centered around the publication's review of ''Sanctuary'', which reportedly awarded the album an 8/10 rating.
