Ben Moody: We Are The Fallen Is Not Evanescence 2.0
Ben Moody tells the Houston Chronicle that despite the similarities, the band is not Evanescence 2.0. “We never intended to give that impression. But it’s the entire lineup, minus the singer. It’s obvious that there are going to be a fu**ing ton of comparisons,” he conceded. “We would be naive to think that we would escape that. I just came into this world with something to do. And this is it.”
Amy Lee: I’m Making The Best Album Of My Life
Amy Lee spoke with Billboard about Evanescence’s upcoming album, a follow-up to 2006’s ‘The Open Door’. “It wouldn’t be an Evanescence album if it didn’t sound somewhat like Evanescence,” Lee said. “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.” Read more, including Amy’s thoughts on her former bandmates forming We Are The Fallen, here.

Evanescence singer Amy Lee spoke with Fox News Channel’s Anita Vogel about the band being able to avoid the sophomore slump with ‘The Open Door’, all while resisting the urge to copy the sound on their smash debut ‘Fallen’. “We took chances and got creative with it, and did things that I didn’t think I could maybe do before. Just did a lot of experimentation and abandoned the formula.
