en480c4 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 I saw this on another forum I check in on... Carly Smithson Joins Original Line-Up of Evanescence; Group Launches New Band American Idol powerhouse vocalist Carly Smithson is joining the original guys of Evanescence, who are relaunching as a hard-rock band called The Fallen. They'll make a formal announcement Monday in Hollywood, with a news conference and their first live performance. Debut song Bury Me Alive will be available at that time for free download at wearethefallen.com. The lineup consists of Smithson and three of the four original members of Evanescence Quote
n_maher Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 The single isn't up on the site but yes, I'll give it a listen for sure. It can't hurt for any longer than it takes me to hit stop. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 No, the thing I didn't like about Evanescence wasn't Amy Lee, it was the lack of melody in the music, so I don't think I'll be checking this out. Heck, I didn't even know they had broken up. Quote
swt61 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) It absolutely interests me. Carly is a real power singer, and this looks like a really good fit. The "Idol" relationship that really interests me more than any would be Adam Lambert as Queen's new frontman. If that should work out I'd be all over that first album.

n_maher Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 I've heard the single and had a decidedly luke warm reaction to it. For the curious - The Fallen Debuts First Single "Bury Me Alive" | Vote for the Worst Quote
ecclesand Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks for the link. I liked the song...although she sounds a lot like Amy Lee. I will most likely buy the CD when it comes out. Quote
falkon Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 She sounds a lot like Amy Lee but there's a little more roughness in her voice. Plus she seems to drown out the band more than Amy. And listening to "Evanescence II" has made me realize that it was decidedly... stale. I think the time for Evanescence has passed but who knows.. people will listen to anything that record companies promote hard. Quote
laxx Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 I like evanescence so I'll be checking this out. Quote
