Little Rock, Arkansas, United States (1995 – present)
Evanescence is a grammy-winning band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody (who left in 2003).
After recording private albums, the band released their first full-length album, Fallen, in 2003, which sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and helped the band win two Grammy Awards. A year later, they released their first live album, Anywhere But Home, which sold more than one million copies worldwide. In 2006, they then released their second studio album, The Open Door, which sold more than five million copies. They released their third and latest studio album, Evanescence in 2011.
The band currently consists of Amy Lee (lead vocals, piano, keyboards), Terry Balsamo (guitars), and Tim McCord (bass). Former members include David Hodges (piano, keyboards, backing vocals; left in 2002), Ben Moody (guitars; left in 2003), William Boyd (bass; left in 2006), John LeCompt (guitars, backing vocals; fired in 2007), and Rocky Gray (drums; left in 2007). Session members include Troy McLawhorn (guitars) and Will Hunt (drums), both are from Dark New Day, they were “borrowed” to replace LeCompt and Gray during 2007 tours.
Amy Lee and Ben Moody met in 1994 at a youth camp in Little Rock, where Moody heard Lee playingI’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) by Meat Loaf on the piano. Their first songs were Solitude and Give Unto Me, written by Lee, and Understanding and My Immortal, written by Moody. The songs were edited by both artists, and they shared equal credit.

I'm glad most of you agree with me :).. It's not that I hate Fallen or the old band, it's just that I think that Evanescence is much more than just Bring Me to Life and My Immortal (Fallen) lol. The Open Door is just much more creative & superior than Fallen :D ...

New Evanescence is much more better than the old band.. I will never understand what people see in Fallen, it's such a terrible album compared to The Open Door and the new album. [5]

always been a great band from the start, cant understand why the old band after the break up went for a very similar almost identical vocalist as Amy (though not as good) in Carly smithson. its as if they just tried to replace her with a double .... wierd.
