Fallen is the first full-length album by Evanescence, and their first album to achieve widespread release around the world.
Fallen was the eighth best-selling album in the U.S. in 2004, with about 2.61 million copies sold that year.[1] The album was recorded at Ocean Studios (Burbank) and Conway Recording Studios (Hollywood) both in California. The album reached 7x Platinium status on 24th June 2008 in the U.S.
Amy Lee stated:
We've all fallen, but at the same time we're not broken. There is the hint that we are going to get up again. |
This is one of the reasons that Fallen is called what it is. Ben Moody in an interview said that Fallen was made to let people know that they aren't alone when they feel alone or feel pain.
Fallen has sold over 17 million copies worldwide[2] and over 7 million in the US alone.[3] The album debuted at #7 and stayed above #40 on the Billboard Album Chart until mid-2014. The album stayed in the top 10 for 43 non-consecutive weeks. Released March 4th, 2003. It was recorded and mixed between late August and early December 2002.[4] The tour in support of the album lasted for nearly two years, ending on August 14, 2004.
The CD was re-released in January 2004 with the band version of "My Immortal". Fallen was Grammy nominated for Album of the Year in 2004. John LeCompt and Rocky Gray both had writing credits on Fallen before they officially joined the band. John has credits on "Taking Over Me" and Rocky has credits for writing the original version of "Tourniquet" (originally called "My Tourniquet") for his band, Soul Embraced.
A limited edition purple vinyl version of Fallen was released on the 10th Anniversary of its original publication (March 4 2013). All the tracks were heavily remastered by Dave Fortman, and contained three B-Sides.
