Evanescence, 2007—2012 lineup. From left to right, top row: Terry Balsamo, Amy Lee, Tim McCord. From left to right, bottom row: Will Hunt, Troy McLawhorn.

American rock band Evanescence has recorded for three studio albums, three extended plays, a demo album and four soundtrack albums.

Lead vocalist Amy Lee and former-lead guitarist Ben Moody founded the band in 1995 and was accompanied by David Hodges (keyboards) from 1999 until 2002.^[1] Evanescence signed with Wind-up Records and released their debut album, Fallen, in 2003, officially formed by Will Boyd (bass), Rocky Gray (drums), John LeCompt (rhythm guitar), Lee (vocals and piano) and Moody (lead guitar). Lee, Moody and Hodges are credited to have written the entire album together, while LeCompt and Gray each have writing credits for two separate songs. The album sold over 17 million copies worldwide and produced four singles, including "Bring Me to Life".^[2]

Moody left the band mid-tour in October 2003 and was replaced with Terry Balsamo. Shortly after recording their second studio album, Boyd left the band and was replaced with Tim McCord. In 2006, Evanescence released their second studio album, The Open Door, which debuted at number one on Billboard 200. Lee and Balsamo wrote most of the album together, while LeCompt had a writing credit for one song. The Open Door sold over five million copies worldwide.^[2] During promotion of the album, in May 2007, LeCompt announced that he was fired from Evanescence and also confirmed Gray's decision to quit. They were replaced with Troy McLawhorn and Will Hunt (respectively) on a temporary basis, however they officially joined the band during the recording of their third studio album.

Evanescence released their eponymous third studio album in 2011, which also debuted at number one on Billboard 200. Three singles were released to promote the album. Lee, Balsamo, McCord, McLawhorn and Hunt wrote most of the album together, while Will B. Hunt had writing credits for five songs and Zach Williams for one.

A few months prior to their first live performance since their hiatus, Evanescence announced in August 2015 that Balsamo had left the band and had been replaced with Jen Majura.^[3]
