Evanescence were one of the artists to contribute music towards the soundtrack of the Gears 5 video game when it released in July 2019, performing a cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' - and they've just debuted a new video for that which you can check out below.
Gears 5 is the fifth main entry into the Gears Of War series, which began back on the Xbox 360 way back in 2006.
Vocalist Amy Lee says of the cover:
“The lyrics make me feel the power of standing together against great forces trying to pull us apart, perhaps even from the inside. I really wanted to drive that home in our version,” lead singer Amy Lee elaborates. P.R. Brown adds, “The goal of the video is to show the bond of this band as they deliver a powerful take on a classic song. The tie in with Gears 5 presented an opportunity to combine the game world together with the band performance in a post-apocalyptic setting. The band emerges from the ashes to come together. We wanted to bring these worlds together and feel both the force of the band and the game.”
