Aftermath is the soundtrack for Mark Jackson's film War Story, performed by Amy Lee and featuring Dave Eggar. It was released on August 25, 2014.[1]

Background

Lee announced the film score project on her Twitter account in December 2013.[2] In a January 2014 interview with MTV News, she said the new material would "surprise" her fans, explaining that "It's not what you'd expect; ... 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."[3]

George Garner of Kerrang! praised Lee's efforts for edging away from the heaviness of Evanescence. He described the album as containing all minimalist pianos and eerie strings, and that it was the best representation of Lee's voice and talent to date.[4]
