The origin of Evanescence comes from a meeting between lead singer Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody in summer camp when they were teenagers. At that time, Moody had just finished playing in the gym, and he heard someone playing "I will do anything for love" by Mitt Loew on the piano, so he followed the sound and saw amy lee. Then Amy began to sing along with the music. Moody was shocked by her voice and asked her to cooperate with the band. The close cooperation between the two began. The band was formed in Little Rock, Arkansas in the late 1990s. At that time, as far as their situation was concerned, it did not seem to be integrated with the local music environment. According to Amy, besides death metal, there are old love songs for the elderly. "I have never even heard of a female lead singer in a local band." The development of the band is interesting. At that time, the second song they recorded, Understanding in Gothic style, was repeatedly played by the local rock radio station for some unknown reasons, and as a result, it became famous in that small town. But fans can't find a singer, because there is no condition to perform, the band has only two people, and there is no money to hire musicians. The turning point came when the band recorded a demo in Tunisia. Producer Pete Matthews discovered their potential, sent the band's works to several record companies in new york, and finally signed a contract with Wind-Up, the company of the popular band Creed. The band's songs "Bring Me Life" and "My Immortality" were recorded in the film "Brave Man" starring Ben Affleck, and then the album "Fallen" was released in March 2003. The popularity of those two songs made the album sales rise rapidly, and the band finally became popular. However, the album Fallen has caused quite a storm. At first, the album was not only sold in ordinary stores, but also shipped in Christian music stores. However, due to the blasphemous content in the band interview of the famous Rolling Stone magazine, the company had no choice but to withdraw all the goods from the Christian music store. In the entertainment circle, this situation will not bring negative effects, but will enhance the popularity, and so will Evanescence. As a result, "Fallen" quickly sold 2 million copies, ranked in the top ten in the United States, ranked first in the contemporary Christian music charts, ranked fifth in Canada, and climbed to the first place in Britain. At the end of the year, she received five nominations for the 46th Grammy, including album of the year.
