Evanescence

[_V_]

Su HISTORIA

La historia de Evanescence comenzó a cuajarse en Little Rock, Arkansas, cuando el joven guitarrista Ben Moody y la cantante Amy Lee se conocieron en un campamento de adolescentes al que ambos habí­an acudido. Fuíé este quien le propuso a Amy Lee formar un grupo.

Empezaron a componer canciones de forma conjunta, como "Solitude", "Understanding", y "Give unto me". Evanescence comenzó a darse a conocer cuando una emisora local de radio comenzó a emitir sus canciones. A medida que su popularidad crecí­a, se les ofreció la posibilidad de tocar en directo, con la ayuda de Will Boyd, John Lecomp y Rocky Gray. A raiz de su primer concierto en 1998, Evanescence grabó su primer sencillo, con una tirada de 100 ejemplares, que se agotaron prácticamente al momento, gracias a la incipiente popularidad del grupo. El tí­tulo de este primer sencillo era, precisamente, "Evanescence".

En Noviembre de 2000, editaron su primer álbum, "Origin", gracias al apoyo de una discográfica local. Las 5000 copias iniciales se agotaron en pocos dí­as y hubo que sacar una nueva tirada.

Tras fichar por la discográfica Wind-up, los Evanescence editan su segundo álbum, "Fallen". El tema principal del disco, "Bring me to Life", fue interpretado para la ocasión a duo por Amy Lee y el cantante de "12 Stones", Paul McCoy. El tema resultó un gran íéxito entre los fans y el álbum alcanzó el quinto puesto en la lista Billboard. Evanescence ha colaborado tambiíén con dos temas en la banda sonora de la pelí­cula "Daredevil".

En 2006 aparece el tercer álbum de Evanescence, titulado "The open door".

La banda ya ha comenzado a grabar un nuevo albúm al que aún no han puesto fecha de salida. Por otra parte, Amy Lee va ha versionar uno de los temas de la BSO de The Nightmare Before Christmas, pelicula que conocereis mucho de los que estais aqui, para un albúm llamado "Nightmare Revisited". El tema en concreto es "Sally's song". Os dejo lo que dice Amy Lee en cuanto a esta versión:

Hey chicos! Sólo querí­a decir unas cosas acerca de Sally's Song.
Vi por primera vez The Nightmare Before Christmas, cuando tení­a alrededor de 13 años de edad. Me encantó tanto el arte, la música, la historia -que he visto por lo menos 40 veces desde entonces. Ha sido una inspiración para mí­ desde mi identidad artí­stica que estaba apenas comenzando a formar, y que nunca fue vieja ua que todaví­a me pone en el ánimo de crear. Yo era la chica en la escuela secundaria que se explotaba con la banda sonora de TNBC en mi auto en lugar de lo que era cool en ese entonces. Con toda honestidad, Sally's Song siempre ha sido "mi canción" en ese CD, y yo solí­a jugar una y otra vez, hasta hacer armoní­as y a cantar con íél. Sólo quiero exclamar en voz alta que soy tan afortunada por tener que hacer esto esto.

Por favor, creanme cuando digo que no podrí­an haber obtenido una fan más grande para hacerlo. La parte más fresca acerca de ello fue que tuve completo control creativo. Era como, "¡Adelante!" y tengo que volver a crear la canción, sin embargo yo lo querí­a. Así­ que fui a mi buen amigo Will Hunt en el estudio de Ft. Worth (no el baterista de Evanescence, extraña coincidencia, pero su un tipo totalmente diferente), que es un muy creativo productor y baterista, y que sólo me habí­a divertido con el. Decidí­ poner en practica de mi incipiente nueva habilidad de arpa y tocarla en la cancion, me encanta y tengo la intención de utilizarla mucho más en el futuro. Aunque mi versión es diferente a la original, he querido rendir homenaje a Danny Elfman y Sally en todos los sentidos que podrí­a, a partir de la escalofriante voz de fondo a la bella armonia (que me recuerda a la acordion en la canción). No puedo esperar a que salga, me encanta tanto! Gracias Wll!
No estoy segura de si ustedes lo saben todaví­a, pero voy a tocar en el Tonight Show el 13 de octubre. Tim estará allí­ conmigo.
Espero que disfruten la canción, no puedo esperar a escuchar lo que piensan!
amor,
Amy

Evanescence Recording New Album, Plotting Summer Tour

Courtesy of Billboard:

After just over three weeks in the studio in New York, Evanescence's Amy Lee says she feels "like I'm making the best album of my life."

"I know that seems weird to say, but I wouldn't be here in the studio making another record if I didn't think it was going to be better than anything I've ever done," Lee -- who came to fame with Evanescence's seven-times platinum 2003 debut "Fallen" and continued with 2006's double-platinum "The Open Door" -- tells Billboard.com. "I feel like so much has already happened. I don't even know where to begin to try to describe it...'cause it's just so many things at once. I'm really excited."

Lee began writing for the as-yet untitled album -- which is due for a fall release, with a first single out in the summer and a tour to follow -- more than a year ago, then accelerated the process when she began working with percussionist and producer Will "Science" Hunt (not to be confused with Evanescence drummer Will Hunt), who's been her chief collaborator on the new songs. The result, Lee says, is "a lot of electronic influence -- industrial is a better word for it," but she promises it's not going to be a wholesale reinvention of the Evanescence sound.

"It wouldn't be an Evanescence album if it didn't sound somewhat like Evanescence," explains Lee, who's incorporating the harp, which she learned to play between albums, in several of the new songs. "I feel like our band has always had programming and inspirations from Bjork and Depeche Mode and Massive Attack and that kind of thing. It's not like we're making one of those records; it's just, like, that is playing a bigger role in the sound of Evanescence this time. Those little nuances and hints come in in ways that are cool. The sound that we're going for as a group is to fuse synthetic instruments with organic instruments and create something that sounds like a whole new place. It just sounds larger than life."

Lee says the group -- which also includes guitarist Terry Balsamo and bassist Tim McCord -- and producer Steve Lillywhite are currently recording about 16 songs and is "still working and...finishing writing here and there. Some of them aren't finished lyric-wise or writing-wise, but I really feel like it's mostly there." Some of the songs, Lee acknowledges, are compositions for potential film projects that weren't used.

Lee confesses to being a bit apprehensive after the long gap since "The Open Door," but she says a pair of one-off shows during November in New York and Brazil gave her confidence that Evanescence's following is still intact. "I was really nervous 'cause it had been so long," she says, "but it was amazing to see how many fans there still are that are waiting for us after all this time. It's really inspiring, and it makes me excited to show them how much we've grown."

Lee is, not surprisingly, less excited to talk about We Are The Fallen, the group formed by Evanescence co-founder Ben Lee and other former members -- John LeCompt and Rocky Gray -- whose debut album comes out in May. "It just doesn't have anything to do with me or Evanescence," she notes. "The only thing that bothers me about it, really, is I keep hearing...about 'the original members.' The only original members of Evanescence are me and Ben; John and Rocky came into the band after we'd already recorded "Fallen," so there's a lot of years there...that didn't include anybody but Ben and I. Other than that, I don't have an opinion or anything to say about it."

Amy y el resto de la nueva banda entraron en el estudio por segunda vez el pasado lunes. El disco parece estar previsto para este otoño. Aunque no hay fecha fija y, tal y como nos tienen acostumbrados, se irá retrasando. Pero bueno, lo bueno es que por fin están grabando el disco definitivo.

Entrevosta

The key word for goth-pop outfit Evanescence's long-awaited comeback album, due this fall, is a bit unexpected. It's not "angsty" or "ominous" or "heavy."

"The record is fun — and that's a totally new thing for us," singer Amy Lee, 29, tells SPIN. "When I listen to our old music I see that's where I was in my life at that time. This has been a long trip and parts have been hard. But it's about not taking everything so seriously this time."


Since starting out in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1995, the band has been defined by drama, both onstage and off. There was the messy departure of co-founding songwriter Ben Moody in 2003 and then the even messier firing of drummer Rocky Gray and guitarist John LeComp in 2007, leading to rumors that Lee was iron-fisted in her leadership of the band, which, by then, consisted almost entirely of newly-hired hands. In fact, more than 10 different musicians have played in Evanescence; Lee is the only constant.

Last spring, after a much-needed break following the release of their second album, 2006's five-million-selling The Open Door, Evanescence entered a New York City studio with production vet Steve Lillywhite (U2, Rolling Stones) to record a collection of experimental, electro-leaning songs that Lee then told SPIN were influenced by Massive Attack and Portishead. Then the problems started… again.

"It wasn't coming together right," Lee says. "Steve wasn't the right fit. We were on this experimental trip, trying a bunch of new things, seeing what would fit. I did a lot of the writing without the band. And then when we tried to pull the two worlds together, it wasn't working."

Evanescence stopped the sessions, and for a time their future was uncertain. Lee says she "didn't know what was going to happen, if we were going to be making a record again."

Then Evanescence, the group of hired guns led by the vision of Lee, became a real working band. Lee, guitarist Terry Balsamo, bassist Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt, and programmer Will "Science" Hunt (yes, both guys share the same name) moved in with Lee and began re-working her songs and writing new material together.


"I've never felt so supported by my band members," says Lee. "We've really relied on each other. And everyone being a part of this album, from the ground up, is an entirely new approach for us. There's nobody that's just coming in to play guitar. Everybody's invested. We're more truly a band now than ever before."

She adds, "We took the best songs we had, added more, and reworked them as a group. They're stronger than before… when it was more one-dimensional."

With 19 tunes, the band reentered the studio this month, but this time with rock producer Nick Rasculinecz. "My favorite records that came out recently were from Alice in Chains and the Deftones -- and he produced both," says Lee. "We love working with him -- he makes it so fun.

"Writing with the band and working with a heavy rock producer has made it more of a rock record," she says. "It's Evanescence, but with all these new sounds," including synths and vintage keyboards like the Moog Taurus Pedal.

Lee wrote a handful of the new tracks on harp, including the ballad "Secret Door" and "My Heart is Broken." Another track, "Oceans," "starts with a big, low synth and a vocal, then the band kicks in," says Lee. "It's big and lush. We've been having a lot of fun playing that one especially."

There are a variety of lyrical subjects on the album. "I get inspired by nature," says Lee. "The ocean's been a theme. Brokenness has become a little bit of theme, without necessarily offering a solution."

She adds: "Life can be tough sometimes. But I think it just starts with admitting, 'Okay, the world's not perfect, how do we live our lives within that and not be miserable?'

"There was some real struggle trying to figure out what I want this band to be. I want Evanescence to feel passionate. It's about looking for the answers and not always knowing them."
