Evanescence closed out their 2024 Canadian Tour at Canada Life Place in London on Tuesday, October 29, 2024.
Photographer Kevin Metcalfe was in the pit for SWOMP to capture these images from The Evanescence’s performance:
To date, Evanescence has released a total of five studio albums, including the multi-platinum The Open Door (2004) and Evanescence (2011), both of which topped the Billboard 200.
In 2021, the band thrilled fans with their first album of new material in a decade, The Bitter Truth.
Now 20 years on, Evanescence continues to scale new heights.
Featuring a line-up of Amy Lee (vocals, keyboards), Tim McCord (guitar/bass), Will Hunt (drums), Troy McLawhorn (guitars), and Emma Anzai (bass, backing vocals), the band continues to travel the globe, staging some of the most successful shows of their career, having just wrapped a run of sold out shows in Latin America, including Allianz Parque, a soccer stadium in Sāo Paulo, Brasil, which was the biggest headline show of Evanescence’s career to date, drawing 40,000 fans.
The 20th Anniversary Edition of Fallen builds upon the original album, adding additional context through rare B-sides (“Breathe No More,” “Farther Away,” and “Missing”) and six previously-unreleased selections.
Among them are live renditions of “Bring Me To Life” (including a 2020 acoustic rendition), as well as “My Immortal” and “Going Under,” while fans will enjoy a 2022 live recording of “My Immortal” from London’s 02 Arena, and a 2002 demo of “Bring Me To Life.”
“20 years later, this album has never meant more,” writes Lee in her foreword.
“Fallen has been the soundtrack to first loves, epic heartbreak, self-realization, wedding days, last goodbyes, friendships, and countless other moments in so many lives…not to mention my own. I am forever humbled and grateful to be a part of it.”
