About The Entry

The official music video for “Use My Voice" was produced for Evanescence by Picture Factory, Inc. The mission of the producers was to shine a light in the darkness, to empower and inspire.



The video was directed by Eric D. Howell, who worked in close creative collaboration with Amy Lee of Evanescence. He wanted the video to act as a hopeful metaphor of moving from darkness into a more illuminated future by being heard.



The single was featured on Evanescence’s album "The Bitter Truth" which was released in 2020 and was their first collection of new material in over a decade.



The video was very carefully produced during the Covid-19 pandemic in Nashville TN, Minneapolis MN and Cologne, Germany.



The video was recently nominated in the Best Rock category for the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards. According to MTV, the song “captures the current socio-political zeitgeist of advocacy and activism.”



Love over hate. Truth over lies. Shine the light.
