Evanescence

An American rock band founded in 1995 by vocalist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. The band achieved great popularity in early 2003 with the release of the album Fallen, which sold about 15 million copies and brought the band two Grammy awards. In 2004, the first live album Evanescence Anywhere but Home was released. In 2006, the second studio album The Open Door was released, the circulation of which amounted to about 6 million copies. After the release of the second album, the band temporarily left the stage. In the period from 2009 to 2011, only a few concerts were played, and the only virtual single "Together Again" was released, the funds from the sale of which went entirely to charity to help those affected by the earthquake in Haiti. In 2011, another Evanescence album went on sale, and in the same year, the band resumed touring activity. The band's lineup has changed repeatedly. At various times, the band was left by keyboardist David Hodges (2002), guitarists Ben Moody (2003), John LeCompt (2007), and Terry Balsamo (2015), bassist Will Boyd (2006), and drummer Rocky Gray (2007). As a result, only vocalist Amy Lee remained in the band from the original lineup.
