The soundtrack to director Mark Jackson's 2014 film War Story,
Aftermath features music written and performed by
Evanescence lead singer
Amy Lee along with composer
Dave Eggar. While designed as a soundtrack,
Aftermath is also
Lee's first full-length solo album outside of her work with
Evanescence. Consequently, while the dramatic songs on
Aftermath will certainly appeal to most longtime
Evanescence fans, the music finds
Lee branching out into a more varied stylistic palette that includes symphonic classical music, world music rhythms, and electronic pop. Working with cellist/composer
Eggar, as well as a handful of other musicians,
Lee has crafted a deeply moving and lyrical album that works equally well as a soundtrack and stand-alone solo release. ~ Matt Collar
