Evanescence Premiere The Official Music Video For “My Heart Is Broken” Ahead Of The Scheduled Date

Surprise, surprise! Evanescence have released the new official video for their latest rock ballad “My Heart Is Broken” weeks before the highly anticipated VEVO premiere! What a refreshing surprise that is. And after seeing it, you too will say WOW! The new video was shot in Los Angeles, and when asked about the video, lead singer Amy Lee declared that for this clip, the band wasn’t going for a “visceral” music video, but they would rather have more of a ethereal clip.

The visual offerings for “My Heart Is Broken” are totally opposite from the band’s previous video. “What You Want” had a very real and “grounded” feel while “My Heart Is Broken” has a brand new surreal clip. During an interview about the process of making the new video, Amy Lee declared that “We’re playing with fiber optics, and so it’s basically like I’m drawing the world around me from nothingness, and when I draw things with my hands, it’s like they actually come to life”.

The new video is inspired by a popular British horror movie which was released in 1988, namely “Paperhouse”. Lee said that the clip will invoke both a fairytale atmosphere, and also a nightmare realm. If you’re curious to see the new Dean Karr video, have a look below and check it out. The official premiere will be on January 24th, via MSN Spain, and shortly after, Evanescence will premiere it on VEVO.
