| Evanescence first took shape in Little Rock at the end of the �90s. Predictably, the band didn't quite fit the mold of most others lingering around the Midwestern state. "It's typically death metal or really soft, older-people music there," says Lee. "I don't even know of any local bands that have female singers." |
| Evanescence won two Grammy Awards for their 2003 major label debut album "Fallen" |

| Classified today as rock alternative/indy/pop, they have continuted to show an amazing bent for detailed, finely crafted, perfectionism. They have toured more than they have recorded, but when they record, their dedication to detail shows. They have a massively loyal fan base, and continue to impress both critics and affectionados alike. |

| Influenced by a wide-ranging collection of artists such as Bj�rk, Danny Elfman and Tori Amos, the band started releasing EPs of its material. Even without the benefit of live performances, Evanescence began to establish a reputation. |
| "A lot of it developed by being elusive," Moody remembers. "The second song we ever wrote was this seven-minute, ridiculous Goth anthem called �Understanding.' And for some reason, the local rock station decided to play it a lot. We gained this popularity around town, even though no one knew who we were or where to find us. It was because we could never afford to play a show -- it was just Amy and I -- and we couldn't pay any musicians." |
| "The Open Door" Their latest album debuted at the top of the Billboard charts selling more than 447,000 units in its first week and reached platinum status in just over a month. |
