« Reply #1 on: Sep 7th, 2003, 04:58am By: TJ » [shadow=blue,left,300]Bio's/Info:[/shadow] Vocals - Amy Lee
Lead Guitar - Ben Moody
Guitar - John LeCompt
Drums - Rocky Gray This recent hit band came out of no where. With their hit "Bring Me To Life" from the Dare Devil soundtrack, that is climbing the charts as we speak, Evanescence seems to have something special about them. The angelic voice of Amy Lee almost hypnotizes you while the guitar licks from Ben Moody and John LeCompt wake you up enough to nod your head to the beat that Rocky Gray sends out to you. Evanescence is labeled as a Dark Rock band by some, others label them as Christian Alternative Rock, while others label them as Metal, I like to label them as general "Rock". They have all the elements of every aspect of rock and shouldn't be labeled into just one catagory. Evanescence keep up the great work, I want you to know that I am totally inspired by you and your work and I look up to you...I want my band(s) to mold around your music, you have opened up the doors for the rock genre...thank you.
-Mike
From: evanescence.com--Official Site
Although the band's name may suggest a sudden vanishing, the music of Evanescence is poised for longevity. Fallen, the Wind-up Records debut of this talented quartet from Little Rock, Arkansas, is an emotional, ethereal work of undeniable potency guided by the heavenly vocals of Amy Lee. "We're definitely a rock band," says the 20-year-old Lee. "But the twist is that the band's music is epic, dramatic, dark rock."
Co-founders Lee and guitarist/songwriter Ben Moody met while in their early teens. "We were at a youth camp," Moody recalls. "During some sort of recreational period held in a gymnasium, I heard Amy playing Meat Loaf's 'I'd Do Anything for Love' at the piano. So I went over to meet her, and she started singing for me. I was pretty much blown away, so I suckered her into joining a band with me." Since that day, the musical relationship has remained dependably loyal. "We have the same exact vision regarding what we love about music," Moody says. "When it comes to songwriting, we finish each other's thoughts."
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."
Influenced by a wide-ranging collection of artists such as Bj? 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."
Fallen was tracked in Los Angeles with producer Dave Fortman (BOYSETSFIRE, Superjoint Ritual). The album successfully finds that intangible balance between lush beauty and primal heaviness. Typical of the record is the first single, "Bring Me To Life," a piano ballad-turned-riff-driven barnburner. Highlighted by a guest vocal from Paul McCoy of 12 Stones, the song is featured prominently in the Daredevil film and soundtrack.
"'Bring Me To Life' is about discovering something or someone that awakens a feeling inside them that they've never had before," says Moody. He continued, "You discover there is a world that is bigger than just your safe bubble." Also significant is the vibrant anthem "Tourniquet" and the eerie "Haunted," with its pummeling beats and jarring melodies (augmented by chamber choir arrangements courtesy of Lee). Of the latter, Moody asserts, "It's the song that is the most 'us'. That best sums up what we strive to sound like."
Lyrically, Evanescence explores dark, introspective themes of love, desperation, and despair. But the group insists its fundamental message is a positive one. "The point of this whole record and band is to let people know that they're not alone in dealing with bad feelings or pain or anything that they go through," says Lee, who pens most of the words. "That's life and that's human. They're not alone, and we're going through it, too."
Live, Evanescence functions as a quartet with John LeCompt (guitar) and Rocky Gray (drums) rounding out the line-up. "As a four-piece, we are able to carry out the intricate harmonies and orchestrations of the memorable material on Fallen," Moody emphasizes. "We're very sincere about what we do. There's so much pre-packaged teen angst these days in music. That's not us. We're not trying to sell an angle, we're just here writing from our heart."

when will bands see it's not about loudness............but quality of the live performance........
you c an still be loud and have a low mix so the singer doesn't strain their voice but who am I ........
they played their single to death here so kind of sick of hearing it......
in the us Mayfield 4 have been supporting them so that can't be too bad.........

« Reply #5 on: Sep 8th, 2003, 6:14pm By: TJ » Yes, sadly the cover of their debut CD makes her look gothic which she really isn't and also she looks way younger than she really looks live! Plus, I'm NOT keen on her face being the center of the cover! Seeing as she's NOT the only founder of the group! I know the promoters were trying to sell the IN THING look-alike Avril image here but give me a break...The Album Cover doesn't justify their music TRUST ME! Also, my uncle said the very same thing about straining/struggling to sing live but take a peek at this link...YOU'LL NEED A PLAYER TO SEE/LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO!
