Evanescence Sets The Open Door Reissue for 2026

Evanescence will reissue The Open Door through Craft Recordings on November 6, 2026. The release is described as an expanded 20th anniversary reissue. The Open Door was released three years after Fallen, which sold 14 million copies worldwide.

Amy Lee said The Open Door was a more confident and emotional album than Fallen and described it as a better recording than the previous album.

Bring Me To Life remained at number one in the United Kingdom for five weeks in summer 2003. The song features vocals from Paul McCoy of 12 Stones. Lee said the male vocal part was not originally an element the band wanted.

Lee said Call Me When You're Sober was about several people and was particularly connected to the end of her last major relationship. After Ben Moody left Evanescence, Terry Balsamo took his place. Will Boyd later left the band, saying he did not want to continue touring with Evanescence.
