Evanescence

Evanescence is a gothic rock band hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas. Formed by sexy leading lady Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody, the band distributed two EP’s amongst their small audiences from 1995 up until 2001.

They were soon joined by three additional members: John LeCompt, Rocky Gray, and Will Boyd. Together they released the well-renowned album “Fallen” in mid-2003. This compilation contained hits such as “Bring Me to Life” and “My Immortal”. It sold 15 million copies worldwide, won the band 2 Grammy Awards, and stayed on Billboard’s Top 10 list for an astonishing 43 weeks.

Various members of the band resigned for different reasons, and Amy Lee soon enlisted Terry Balsamo from Cold, Tim McCord, and Will Hunt to continue on in hopes of stardom. Their dreams were achieved after releasing a second studio album, “The Open Door” in 2006. It sold 5 million copies worldwide, and boasted the hit single “Call Me When You’re Sober”, inspired by Amy Lee’s difficult breakup with Seether’s lead vocalist Shaun Morgan.
