Evanescence

I've not gone for heavy rock all that much in the past but Evanescence hit the mark perfectly for me. I have been listening to their double-platinum album 'Fallen' [UK|US|CA] over and over and I adore the rich mix of energy, melody, thrash-metal and lyrical beauty they manage to capture. It was the movie 'Daredevil' that thrust them into the limelight with 'Bring Me To Life' and I find that song an echoing cry from the heart - watch the video, it is excellent. The album itself has depth and breadth, from quiet love ballads ('My Immortal') to orchestrally-backed choral heavy metal ('Whisper'). I'm sure it embarrasses the kids to have me plugging it, but I just love it!
