Amy Lee on Evanescence Early Days and Everything Hard Rock | The RS Interview
  • 3 years ago
Evanescence's first big year out, 2003, was a whirlwind rush to the top for the band. Their debut single, "Bring Me to Life," landed on the Daredevil soundtrack and subsequently made deft parkour moves up to Number Five on the Billboard singles chart thanks to the way the band blended nü-metal aggression with frontwoman Amy Lee's gothic leanings. Within a few months, their first album, Fallen climbed to Number Three on the Billboard 200 (eventually, it would be certified seven-times platinum), thanks to the similarly dusky hard-rock single "Going Under" and the classical-leaning ballad "My Immortal."
