Evanescence

Don’t Miss Evanescence On Their UK Tour!

In 2003, when the rock charts were dominated by predominantly male nü-metal and post-grunge acts, a young female-fronted band from Arkansas stood out from the crowd, offering something entirely new. They were Evanescence – and with their debut album, Fallen, they transformed the rock landscape. Led by frontwoman Amy Lee, Evanescence’s cinematic blend of metal and symphonic, piano-driven melodies captured a generation, while Fallen set the band on a path to global superstardom, earning them multiple GRAMMYS® and becoming one of the highest-selling albums of all time.

Released in the spring of 2003, Fallen resonated deeply with fans, selling more than 141,000 copies in its first week and peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart, where it spent 43 weeks in the Top 10. Within a month, it was certified Platinum by the RIAA and became a Top 10 hit in more than ten countries, reaching No. 1 in the UK, Canada, Australia, and across Europe. Its stratospheric singles helped fuel its rise: “Bring Me to Life” broke the Top 10 in more than 15 countries and topped Billboard’s Mainstream Top 40 and Alternative Airplay charts, while “My Immortal” was a Top 10 hit in over ten countries, including the US, UK, and Australia.

At the 2004 GRAMMYS®, Evanescence received five nominations, including Album of the Year, Best Rock Album, Best Hard Rock Performance for “Bring Me to Life,” and Best New Artist, taking home the latter two. Today, Fallen stands as the sixth best-selling album of the 21st century and remains one of the best-selling albums of all time, with more than 17 million copies sold worldwide. In 2022, it received a rare Diamond certification from the RIAA.

Evanescence has since released five studio albums, including the multi-platinum The Open Door (2004) and Evanescence (2011). In 2021, they returned with The Bitter Truth. Two decades on, the band continues to scale new heights, performing major shows worldwide and celebrating the success of their recent single “Afterlife,” the fastest-moving single of their career.
