Evanescence

Anyone like this band? Their song "Bring Me to Life" is featured in the movie "Daredevil" and is becomming quite a hit. They're a pretty good rock band that uses some orchestated elements in their songs. The main singer, Amy Lee, has a very good voice too. The song "My Immortal" shows the beauty of Amy's voice. Check them out and lemme know what you think.

pretty good song, its been getting a lot of play here. ppl not from the states though prolly won't know or care, because its not trance. that song sounds a lot like sarah mclaughlin vs linkin park. but of course its not, but you can imagine.

Yeah, Amy's voice sounds alot like Sarah's on that track "My Immortal". This group is one of the more quality ones that have come out in the past few years. I'm not a big fan of rock/alternative music but their scene does show that better stuff is coming out. Not all of this bullshit, cookie-cutter American garbage that's been around for the past 3-4 years.

Evanescence's CD, FALLEN, is the best piece of non-electronic music i've had the privilige of listening to since 'The Fragile' by Nine Inch Nails. check out the albumn cover:

Contrary to popular belief their music is actually quite gothic, and gothic themes are evident in their lyrics, music, and the beautiful orchestral, choral and guitar arrangements they use. Not to mention that Amy Lee, the vocalist (pictured above) has to be one of the most talented (and beautiful) vocalists in music today, and that's saying a lot. Listen to samples of their CD here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...=music&n=507846

My favorites are "Going Under" and "My Immortal" which was also suggested by Teknohead above. Amy's ethereal, haunting vocals combine incredibly with the complex choral arrangements and well constructed orchestral pieces that back up the guitars very well, in my opinion. For those of you that have only heard track 2, "Bring Me to Life," the annoying male vocalist makes NO other appearance on the CD, thankfully.

So if any of you TA's have any inclination towards non-electronic music, or just want to hear something different for a change, check out Evanescence.

When I first heard the vocals for bring me to life i thought it was a trance song.

she hot, has a nice voice with a great range, only 20 and wow


got thier album

favs:
Even in death
Field of innocence
My immortal
Tourniquet
Everybodys fool

I read in a newspaper a few weeks ago that the album was originally marketed for the religious community (Christian bookstores and such) but an interview on an entertainment news show where they cussed up a storm, saying they didn't want to be marketed there, promptly got pulled from said bookstores.

Interesting.. i can't imagine why the record company would think Evanescence would market well for Christians! They would've flopped, it's no wonder they got upset. Where did you hear this?

it was a small paragraph article in the Dallas, TX newspaper

The track that has been playing on the radio recently is nice. I hope that a sweet chillout remix comes out. Bring it on

Mate, Evanescence are hitting the charts all over the world, here in Spain you can hear bring me to life several times during day on the radio.
In my opinion Bring Me To Life and Going Under are ok, but the album is repetitive.

Evanesence is one of the best bands I have heard in a long time..their lyrics are very powerful and her voice is so captivating! The song "Bring Me to Life" is very special to me and my boyfriend..I fell in love with this song the instant I heard it, the cd is definately worth getting .

this band rocks bigtime...all those stupid bands on MTV should take note of em and how good music should be...and first time i heard em i was like man someone should to an EDM track featuring this chick it will br an instant hit.

i love them... when i didn't know whose track it was (bring back to life), i thought it was some collaboration with linkin park, because the male singer sounds exactly like the one from l.p.

nice song. have to hear the rest of their album, though.

that's the reason i don't like this much. that guy sounds like a crappy nu-metal singer, and nu-metal has to be the worst genre in the history of music. the girl has potential, but i think she should go solo.

my immortal
hello

Wow, somebody went digging to bring this one back

omfg lol i wanted to do a thread bout this tune for a while but i thought so many people would flame me for it so i said forget it! But her vocals in this tune are SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! when i heard it i thought of how awesome it would be if a dj mixed this tune maybe take out some of the hard rock in it and use her vocals it would be amazing!!!Thumbs up from me :P

Pussy, gotta have some balls sometimes. Evanescence is a quality group, which is rare these days in America at least. I really don't give a shit if somebody would have flamed me for posting this, Amy's voice is amazing and you can't really argue with that.

rofl ffs i cant have balls im a girl that would just be nasty :P but i agree with you 100%

Doh! It figures Well, then I guess you are a pussy

Also, check out one of their songs from 2000 titled "Lies". It's one of my favorite songs by them, harder than their recent material.
