SHAZAM

Released five years after The Open Door, Evanescence’s third album picks up where the last one left off, with vocalist Amy Lee singing songs about death, angst, and brokenness over her band’s dark gothic grooves. Evanescence also finds room to experiment with other influences, working drum loops and synthesizers into an otherwise guitar-heavy sound. Although Steve Lillywhite was originally scheduled to produce, he was eventually replaced by Nick Raskulinecz, who brings the same sort of bottom-heavy crunch to Evanescence that he gave to the Foo Fighters’ In Your Honor., Rovi
