In 1995, what would become the gothic, nu-metal band Evanescence was formed by vocalist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. As a duo, Evanescence released three EPs between 1998 and 2003 with its debut solo album "Fallen" (2003) including session musicians. The album was critically acclaimed upon release and featured the hit singles "Bring Me to Life," "Going Under," "My Immortal," and "Everybody's Fool." Moody left Evanescence after the release of "Fallen." Since then, the band has experienced consistent line-up changes with Amy Lee remaining the only permanent member. Evanescence's second and third studio albums, "The Open Door" (2006) and "Evanescence" (2011), both peaked at the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The band then went on a hiatus until 2015. Since reuniting, Evanescence has released two studio albums: "Synthesis" (2017) and"The Bitter Truth" (2021).
