Evanescence's Contract

"Wind-Up Records" is Evanescence's current label. It signed a contract with Evanescence in 2001 after a listening of the Origin songs (album published by Bigwig Enterprises, the former band's label) and other demos. Since then, nearly all of the Evanescence releases have been published under this label. Wind-Up published the band's albums (Fallen, The Open Door and the Third Album) and distributed many of the singles (except of the Imaginary anf Weight of the World singles, both published by Sony in radio-promotion purpose).

"Wind-Up Records" also published the soundtracks featuring Evanescence: Daredevil: The Album (track #9 - Bring Me To Life and track #17 - My Immortal, 2003) and Elektra: The Album (track #8 - Breathe No More, 2005).

Amy Lee published, under this label, a non-Evanescence track in The Punisher: The Album (track #5 - Broken, 2004) along with Seether. The others Amy's solo publications are released under Walt Disney Records.
