Evanescence

[Amy Lee]:
"'Disappear' - I love that song - this is one of the Tim, Terry, and I wrote this one when we were in this actually really cool writing session where the three of us went to the middle of nowhere in California, like in the wine county. I think where we were staying didn't even have a name, the town we were in. The nearest town was like 20 miles away. We wrote this song in a cliff. We rent this house for, I think, two or three weeks. That was one of the songs that I didn't know if it was gonna make it. It was very different sound like in the chorus, the way that it sounds. I don't know, I can't really describe it, but it's just a really different style vocally for me. But I loved it. I was just singing, you know, out of fun. It's cool. It's new when you start with a idea and you're not sure about, but the more you play with the band, it becomes something bigger and better."

Evanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. Evanescence was originally promoted in Christian stores. Later, the band made it clear they did not want to be considered part of the Christian rock genre, like fellow Wind-up Records artists Creed. Some of their most popular hits “Bring Me to Life,” “My Immortal,” and “What You Want.”

In 2014, the band parted ways with their long-term record label Wind-Up and became independent artists. In late 2016, they released a Ultimate Collection box set featuring all their albums along with the 2000 demo album Origin and a B-sides compilation Lost Whispers.

In November 2017, they released their fourth album, Synthesis, featuring a reimagining of some of their past songs plus two new original songs with the spotlight on full orchestra and electronics.
