Evanescence is a Grammy-winning band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. 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; left 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 playing
I’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.
Two of Lee and Moody’s songs found playtime on local radio stations, raising local awareness of the group and demand for a show. The band eventually appeared live, and became one of the most popular acts in the area. After experimenting with band names, such as Childish Intentions and Stricken, they decided on Evanescence, which means “disappearance” or “fading away” (from the word evanesce, which means “to disappear”). Lee has stated she loves the name because “it is mysterious and dark, and places a picture in the listeners’ mind.”.

Amy said new album will sound like Portishead so... sounds like "Lose Control". That's why I'm already loving it! I hope more songs like "Lacrymosa", "Your Star" and "Lose Control".

All I can say about this band is that they suck dick, and anyone who listens to them probably thinks they're so gothic and shit. Fuck that. Fallen? You might as well rename that album to Failin', because that's what it really is. It's not gothic, metal, or gothic metal. If someone asked me to recommend music for an Evanescence fan, I would recommend the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, and a bunch of other Top 40 shit. That's how gothic Evanescence is right there. Gothic as Top 40 shit. That's because they are Top 40 shit in the first place. And they're not metal, unless you take the definition of metal and rape it up the anus and castrate it and put make-up all over it. Metal is like, brutal and epic and shit. Not this retarded shit from the gay European country of Arkansas. Speaking of Arkansas, that's where they're from. Need I remind you fangirls that Amy Lee comes from a place full of rednecks getting stoned, doing their siblings, and Bible-thumping? See, that's why I hate Europe.
