Sanctuary<\/em> hasn\u2019t come together quickly, it\u2019s been in the works for over three years, with sessions split between Cervini, Fish, and veteran producer Nick Raskulinecz, whose work with Korn and Foo Fighters adds another layer of weight behind the desk.<\/p>\nAmy Lee isn\u2019t downplaying what this album means either (per press release):<\/p>\n
\u201cThis album is over three years in the making, and finally listening back to it all at once, about to release it to the world, I am so damn proud of every second of it. It\u2019s overwhelming.
