Fallen (Evanescence album)

Fallen is the debut studio album by the American rock band Evanescence. It was released on March 4, 2003 by Wind-up and Epic Records.[5] After releasing some EPs and a demo CD, the group signed to Wind-up in January 2001. Writing songs for Fallen started near the time of the band's creation; some of the songs that would be on the album appeared on the band's earlier albums. Fallen was recorded between May 2002 and January 2003 in different places, including Conway Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. After this, there was a two-week period of mixing at Conway Recording Studios in North Hollywood. It is Evanescence's only album to have guitarist Ben Moody. This is because Moody left the band later in 2003.
