Eminem and Evanescence have teamed up for one of the darkest, rawest collaborations in recent memory: “Defeated.”
Released with a haunting new music video, Defeated is a brutal look at betrayal, self-destruction, and the agony of broken trust — all wrapped in fiery rap verses and soaring gothic vocals.
And it’s not just a song.
It’s a full-blown emotional war.
Eminem: Spitting Rage and Heartbreak
Eminem is at his most explosive and vulnerable in Defeated.
He takes listeners through the collapse of a toxic relationship, using intense wordplay and savage storytelling:
“When someone you die for sticks a steak knife in your heart, till you try more.”
His delivery is rapid, furious, but underneath it all, you can hear the wounded soul of a man trying — and failing — to hold on to love and sanity.
Slim Shady doesn’t hold back, swinging between anger, sorrow, regret, and pure chaos.
It’s Eminem in his rawest form, reminiscent of his early Relapse and Recovery days — but even sharper.
Evanescence: The Voice of Despair
Amy Lee of Evanescence brings the signature dark angel energy.
Her ethereal vocals glide over the track like a ghost, crying out for salvation and revenge all at once:
“You gotta break through… you’re going down.”
The contrast between her haunting melodies and Eminem’s furious raps creates a perfect storm of heartbreak and rage — a chilling beauty that leaves goosebumps long after the song ends.

Final Word
