Evanescence to bring debut album ‘Fallen’ back to life on Australian anniversary tour

American rockers Evanescence have announced their return to Australia this August and September celebrating 20 years of their debut album Fallen. On their first visit to our shores since their run with local symphony orchestras in 2018, the Arkansas-hailing group will perform at Perth’s Red Hill Auditorium on Saturday, September 2.

Starting life when Evanescence vocalist Amy Lee and co-founder Ben Moody began writing and recording songs in the mid 90s, 2003’s Fallen would go on to score five nominations at the 2004 Grammy Awards, winning Best Hard Rock Performance and Best New Artist, with the album’s symphonic ballad My Immortal also scoring an additional nomination at the Grammy Awards the following year.

Hitting the top 10 charts in multiple countries upon its release, including Australia and a #1 in the UK, Fallen sold 10 million copies in the US alone, with over 17 million copies sold worldwide and officially reaching diamond certification in late 2022.

Blending elements of goth, rock and metal, Fallen featured lead singles Bring Me to Life, Going Under, My Immortal and Everybody’s Fool. The album went on to be included in Rolling Stone’s ‘The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time’ and set the scene for a long-term legacy for the group, who are now in command of five studio albums including 2021’s The Bitter Truth which debuted at #3 on the ARIA chart, which marked the band’s highest debut in 15 years.

Evanescence play Red Hill Auditorium on Saturday, September 2, 2023. Tickets are on sale Thursday, June 1 from www.destroyalllines.com
