"Evanescence (ev'e-nes'ens): a dissipation or disappearance like vapor. Although the band name sounds like something that goes away, the music will sound forever. "Fallen," the group's debut album of the label: "Wind-Up" from the small town of Little Rock, Arkansas, is fraught with emotion and power driven by the strong singular voice of singer Amy Lee. "" We're definitely a rock band, "Lee said only 20 years. "" But the difference is that the band's music is epic, dramatic and dark. "" Lee and the other band founder, guitarist and songwriter Ben Moody, met when they were young teenagers. "" We are at a youth camp, "Moody told us. "" During the time free, I heard Amy playing the piano and singing "I'll do Anything for Love" by Meat Loaf. I went and I started singing. I was so impressed that I convinced her to join our band. "" Since then the musical relationship has been dependent. "" We have the same vision in music, "Moody said. "" As regards music, think the same way. "" Evanescence took his first steps in the town of Little Rock in the late 90s. Obviously, at that time and place, the band's music did not hit much. Influenced by various artists from Björk, Danny Elfman and Tori Amos, the band began releasing singles from their music. Without playing live, the band formed as a respectable number of fans. His second song written was called "Understanding" and was rated by Moody as "a seven-minute session Gothic". " For some reason, a local radio station decided to put the song all the time, and stuck. Since then, everything changed. They recorded their album "Fallen" in Los Angeles and was listed as a balance between beauty and strength immeasurable. The most recognizable song from the album, "Bring me to Life" is a ballad on the piano riff that becomes stronger. In the simple one hears the voice of Paul McCoy, a visitor to the track of the band 12 Stones and was part of the soundtrack of the film "Daredevil." "'Bring Me To Life' is about discovering something or someone that awakens something inside that you never feel", "Moody said. "" You discover that there is a world that is larger than the small bubble where you live. "" "" Tourniquet, "" the same album is also notable, as "" Haunted ", both with significant songs and catchy rhythms. Lyrically, Evanescence explores dark, introspective side of love, despair and frustration. But the band insists that his message is positive. "" The point of our album and band is to let people know they are not alone in addressing these issues and the pain it brings, "said Lee. That's life and the human race. You are not alone, we live well. "" Live, Evanescence functions as a quartet with John LeCompt (guitar) and Rocky Gray (drums) rounding Lee and Moody. "" As a piece of four elements, we are able to take the complicated harmonies and melodies of all parts "" Fallen "","" added Moody. "" We are very sincere in what we do. There's so much pre made for teenagers these days in music. Not us. We are not selling a corner, write and sing from our hearts. ""
