Welcome To… Evanescence: 20 Songs To Revisit Ahead Of Their New Album
Evanescence is amazing. But some of you may have missed the band’s initial heyday in the mid-2000s. Their biggest hit is their heart-wrenching ballad, “My Immortal,” but you’ll recognize songs like “Bring Me To Life” and “Call Me When You’re Sober,” too. After releasing Fallen in 2003 and The Open Door in 2006, it was five years before the band released Evanescence. The group also just released all three albums – plus their demos record, Origin – on vinyl earlier this year. Even more exciting, this fall Evanescence will put out their first new album in six years.
So to get us ready for this highly anticipated new album, let’s take a step back and appreciate all the Evanescence songs we have already. In case you’re new to the band, this is a great first taste of their lovely music. Listen to these 20 songs – singles, album tracks, and rarities alike – spanning the band’s three albums.
