Después de tres años sabáticos tras su éxito mundial y su segundo trabajo, The Open Door, Evanescence vuelven a entrar en el estudio el 11 de abril para comenzar la grabación de su tercer álbum de estudio con el productor Nick Raskulinecz, entre cuyos créditos se incluyen producciónes para Foo Fighters, RUSH, Stone Sour, Deftones y Alice in Chains.
Con lo que algunos denominan un ascenso meteórico a la cima, su primer disco, Fallen, llevó a la banda de Little Rock, (Arkansas, Estados Unidos) al éxito internacional con más de 17 millones de discos en manos de sus fans en todo el mundo, dos singles Top 10 (My Immortal y Bring Me To Life), dos premios Grammy en 2003 (Mejor Artista/Grupo Novel y Mejor Interpretación Hard Rock por el tema Bring Me To Life).
The Open Door se grabó en los estudios The Record Plant en Los Angeles a principios de 2006 y se mezcló en los venerables Ocean Way Studios en marzo del mismo año, marcando el regreso del productor y amigo de la banda, Dave Fortman. Este álbum logró el certificado de doble platino en los Estados Unidos y ha vendido más de 5 millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo.

EVANESCENCE HEADING INTO THE STUDIO FOR NEW ALBUM
Wind-up Records Scheduling a Fall 2011 Release
New York, NY — Following a three-year sabbatical after the multi-platinum, worldwide success of their sophomore effort, The Open Door, Evanescence is going into the studio on April 11 to begin recording its third studio album with producer Nick Raskulinecz, whose recent producing credits include Foo Fighters, RUSH, Stone Sour, Deftones and Alice in Chains.
With what some call a meteoric rise to the top, Fallen brought the Little Rock, Arkansas band to global success with more than 17 million records in the hands of fans worldwide, two Top 10 singles, “My Immortal” and “Bring Me To Life,” two Grammy® Awards in 2003 (Best New Artist and Best Hard Rock Performance for “Bring Me To Life”).
The Open Door was recorded in Los Angeles at The Record Plant in early 2006 and mixed at the venerable Ocean Way Studios in March 2006 and marked the return of long-time friend and producer Dave Fortman. The Open Door was certified double platinum in the United States and has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. The album was defined by Amy Lee’s beautiful melodies, profound lyrics, stunning vocals and poignant piano, merged with Terry Balsamo’s urgent, yet intricate guitar playing and formed a remarkable, ethereal blend perfectly rooted in the band’s rock and classical sensibilities, including the hit single “Call Me
When You’re Sober.”
According to Evanescence front woman Amy Lee, "We can't wait to show everyone what we've been working on! We've written more than an album of songs. We’ve been finding ourselves, reinventing our sound, experimenting with things we've never done before and at the same time embracing the things we love most about Evanescence. This journey has made us the strongest we’ve ever been as a band, and I am in love with the music. Nick Rasculinecz is the perfect fit for this record and we are all very excited to get into the studio together."
Wind-up Records President Edward Vetri comments, “Amy and the band have been hard at work on the new record. The time off has allowed Amy to expand the creative boundaries of Evanescence. We are very excited to bring this music to the world.”
Evanescence is Amy Lee (vocals, piano), Terry Balsamo (guitar) Tim McCord (bass) and Will Hunt (drums).
