Band: Evanescence
Evanescence plays Goth metal for the masses. A hit single with Linkin Park-style vocals brought them to worldwide attention but the Fallen album offers little real variety outside the formulaic dark heavy rock with operatic vocals. Despite sharing a label with Creed and drummer Gray's affiliation with Christian metal bands like Soul Embraced and Living Sacrifice, Evanscence claims no link with the Christian music scene, although their cover of Soul Embraced's "Tourniquet" seems to belie this assertion. Fallen went onto sell 14 million albums worldwide but the departure of Moody in the middle of a tour left the group without a songwriter. A heavily over-dubbed "live" album filled the gap until Balsamo joined and The Open Door was released in 2006. It failed to achieve the same degree of success.
