Amy Lee and Halsey Ignite Hollywood Bowl Stage with ‘Hand That Feeds’ Debut

The Hollywood Bowl concert was a prime example of the evolving world of music, where artists in different genres come together to create remarkable moments. Halsey’s alternative pop finds away to combine with Evanescence’s evening of gothic rock and The Warning’s hard rock energy created a convergence of experience that could be enjoyed by many types of fans.

The partnership between Halsey and Amy Lee marks a personal milestone for Halsey, who has admired Evanescence since childhood. While promoting her 2024 album, “The Great Impersonator,” Halsey honored her influences by dressing as 18 of her musical heroes, including recreating the iconic “Fallen” album cover by Evanescence. Referring to Amy Lee as her “OG dark rock queen,” Halsey even shared a nostalgic childhood photo featuring her wearing an Evanescence t-shirt, noting affectionately, “I wore that shirt into the ground.”

Directed by Len Wiseman and produced by Chad Stahelski of the original John Wick films, “Ballerina” also stars Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves alongside Ana de Armas.

Throwback Thursday: Evanescence Rise to Fame

Every Thursday we dive into some nostalgic moments and reminisce about the rise of Evanescence, whose trademark theme was mixing gothic rock and haunting melodies into the mainstream among the early 2000s.

It all started in Little Rock, Arkansas, where a young Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody met at a youth camp whilst they started writing music together. The humble beginnings would eventually take Evanescence to the top of the charts with their groundbreaking debut album, “Fallen,” in March 2003.

“Fallen” isn’t just an album — it’s a cultural moment, a phenomenon. “Bring Me to Life”, “My Immortal,” and “Going Under” spoke to a generation with their emotional resonance and dark, cinematic sound. With Amy Lee’s soaring top notes, Evanescence pushed into a realm of music history through their fusion of the rock, metal, and orchestral genres.

Particularly, “Bring Me to Life” was propelled to stardom for the inclusion within the 2003 movie Daredevil. The Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance was awarded for the single and “Fallen” went on to sell over 17 million units throughout the world.

Despite lineup changes, personal struggles, and long gaps between albums, the evolution has continued, staying true to their emotional intensity and musical ingenuity. From The Open Door historically representing growth in 2006 through to Synthesis in 2017 and The Bitter Truth in 2021, these albums talk about growth, resilience, and artistic bravery.

The throwback today celebrates not just an account of success in their early days but the everlasting essence of Evanescence: a band that dared to be different and change the face of rock music forever.
