Evanescence is a Grammy Award-winning American alternative rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1998 by singer Amy Lee and former guitarist Ben Moody. After recording two private EPs, and a demo CD named Origin with the help of Bigwig Enterprises, the band released their first full-length album, Fallen, on the Wind-up Records label in 2003. Fallen sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and helped the band win two Grammy Awards. After abrupt changes to the band s lineup, Evanescence released their second studio album, The Open Door, in 2006. Evanescence was founded by singer, pianist and songwriter Amy Lee and former lead guitarist and songwriter Ben Moody. The two met in 1994 at a youth camp in Little Rock, Arkansas, where Moody heard Lee playing I d Do Anything for Love (But I Won t Do That) by Meat Loaf on the piano. Their first songs were Solitude and Give Unto Me , written by Lee, and Understanding and My Immortal , written by Moody. The songs were edited by both artists, and they shared equal credit. Two of Lee and Moody s songs found playtime on local radio stations, raising local awareness of the group and demand for a show. The band eventually appeared live, and became one of the most popular acts in the area. After experimenting with band names, such as Childish Intentions and Stricken, they decided on Evanescence, which means disappearance or fading away (from the word evanesce, which means to disappear ). Lee has stated she loves the name because it is mysterious and dark, and places a picture in the listeners mind.
