American rock band Evanescence has recorded five studio albums, three extended plays, two demo albums, and their music has appeared on two soundtrack albums. Evanescence was founded by Amy Lee and Ben Moody in 1994. The band's lineup comprises Lee, guitarist Troy McLawhorn, guitarist Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt, and bassist Emma Anzai.
Produced by Dave Fortman, their debut studio album, Fallen (2003), spawned the singles "Bring Me to Life", "Going Under", "My Immortal", and "Everybody's Fool". Evanescence's second studio album, The Open Door (2006), yielded the singles "Call Me When You're Sober", "Lithium", "Sweet Sacrifice", "Good Enough". Released in 2011, their self-titled third studio album was produced by Nick Raskulinecz, with the songs "What You Want", "My Heart Is Broken", and "Lost in Paradise" released as singles. Evanescence marked the first time an album was co-written as a band.[1]
In March 2014, Evanescence parted ways with record label Wind-Up Records and became an independent band. In 2017, the band released their fourth studio album, Synthesis, an orchestral and electronic re-imagining of past songs alongside two new songs,[2] "Imperfection" and "Hi-Lo". The band released their fifth studio album, The Bitter Truth, in 2021, preceded by the songs "Wasted on You", "The Game is Over", "Use My Voice", and "Better Without You".
