Background
In December of 2013, Amy Lee officially announced her new project via Twitter: a film score for an upcoming Mark Johnson film. Straying from her well known roots in rock and roll, Lee revealed that the new music would "surprise her fans" in a January 2014 interview with MTV News. "'It's going to surprise my fans. It's not what you'd expect; the film is very dark, very introspective. There's not even a lot of dialogue, which is great, because to me it makes this beautiful, sad platform for music. There's a lot of blending of sounds, a lot of ominous tones. I play a lot of keyboard, and a lot of Taurus pedal. There's a lot of low drones.'"Aside from this interview, however, Lee chose to keep quiet about most aspects surrounding the project. On August 25, 2014, the soundtrack was officially released.
