Evanescence Nova Rock Live Stream 2022

American rock band Evanescence performed on June 9 as part of the 2022 edition of the Nova Rock festival in Austria, and a recording of the show was uploaded to the band's YouTube channel on June 14.

The five-member band performed Broken Pieces Shine, from their album The Bitter Truth, released in 2021. They then launched into the spirited Made Of Stone, which is about being strong and refusing to play someone else's game.

Dressed in dark outfits, they also tackled the angst-ridden track Take Cover, which is about getting back at an egotistical and greedy person.

RE-Turn

Bii

3 stars

Having made his debut in 2010, Taiwanese singer Bii's seventh album RE-Turn is a homecoming of sorts, examining his past and looking to the future.

Opening track Parasite is the type of expressive ballad for which he is known. Its lyrics use the metaphor of a freeloader to describe a relationship with oneself, with lines such as "So we hurt and depend on each other/To this day, I still don't understand".

The easy-listening Seeking Love captures the innocence of young love, while the tender Don't Blow Away explores a connection between a mother and son separated by circumstances.

The closing track, Unfinished Script, speaks of a story left incomplete after a break-up. But the song also hints that the singer's own journey is ongoing.
