Sweet Sacrifice

Evanescence

Description

^{Evanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody.
After recording two private EPs and a demo CD named Origin, with the help of Bigwig Enterprises in 2000, the band released their first full-length album, Fallen, on Wind-up Records in 2003. Fallen sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and helped the band win two Grammy Awards. A year later, Evanescence released their first live album, Anywhere but Home, which sold more than one million copies worldwide. In 2006, the band released their second studio album, The Open Door, which sold more than four million copies.
The band suffered several line-up changes, including co-founder Moody leaving in 2003, followed by guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray in 2007. Lee is now the only original member of Evanescence remaining in the band.
"Sweet Sacrifice" is the third single from American alternative metal band Evanescence's second album The Open Door, and was written by Amy Lee and Terry Balsamo. While originally announced at concerts and online that the third single would be "All That I'm Living For", requests from the band and fan reaction prompted the label to reconsider plans. The single was first released in Germany on May 25, 2007, and in two versions: Basic and Premium. There are no other known physical releases, however, electronic copies are available online. The song was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award in the category Best Hard Rock Performance.}
