Biography:
Formed in 2008 by former members of popular goth metal/pop outfit Evanescence, We Are the Fallen (the name was derived from Evanescence's 2003 album, Fallen) employed their predecessor's penchant for melodrama and brooding theatricality with a newfound emphasis on the band as a whole. Rocky Gray, John LeCompt, and Ben Moody -- the latter left Evanescence in 2003 -- had experienced significant tensions within the group as it rose to international fame behind talented singer/pianist Amy Lee, so when the opportunity for a new project arose, they looked to former American Idol contestant Carly Smithson to provide the pipes. We Are the Fallen released their first single, &"Bury Me Alive," on June 22, 2009. James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
