Amazon.co.uk Review
Fallen, the debut album from Evanescence (a previously unknown quartet from Little Rock, Arkansas) was given a nice boost by the
Daredevil soundtrack. Their songs "My Immortal" and the imposing "Bring Me to Life" are clear stand-outs in the film, mainly because they work so well with the dramatic, eerie undertones of the story line. They reappear here on the band's debut, alongside a selection of similarly brooding tracks that evoke pensive artists such as
Tori Amos and the
Cranberries. Vocalist Amy Lee has the kind of voice that can cause weeks of insomnia, but on songs such as "Tourniquet" and "Haunted" she belies the music's sinister mood with even-handed spirituality, thoughtfully letting some light shine through the tempest.

'Fallen' is the second album from goth metal band Evanescence. Emotional, ethereal songs range from soft and sorrowful to dark and aggressive, fused together with orchestral arrangements, choirs and influences of industrial rock and nu-metal.
