Evanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock in Arkansas, in 1995 by singer and pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. After recording independent albums, the band released their first full-length album, Fallen, on Wind-up Records in 2003. Fallen sold more than 17 million copies worldwide and helped the group win two Grammy Awards from six nominations. A year later, Evanescence released their first live album, Anywhere but Home, which has sold more than one million copies worldwide. In 2006, the group released their second studio album, The Open Door, which sold more than five million copies.

The group changed several times during the production and promotion of the first two studio albums: David Hodges left in 2002, the co-founder Moody left in 2003 (mid-tour), bassist Will Boyd in 2006, and then guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray in 2007 and Terry Balsamo in 2015. As a result, none of the group’s three studio albums has the same composition. The last two changes have led to a hiatus, with temporary members contributing to the concerts.

The group reconvened in June 2009 with new lineup; their next studio album, Evanescence, was released in 2011. It debuted on the top of the Billboard 200 with sales of 127,000 copies. The album also debuted at number one on four other Billboard charts; rock albums, digital albums, alternative albums and hard rock albums.

The band spent 2012 on tour promoting their latest album with other bands including The Pretty Reckless and Fair to Midland. During this time, Troy McLavhorn also became a full member of the group. After the end of the album tour in 2012, the group goes on to another hiatus.
