Inspired by artists such as Nirvana, Björk, Nine Inch Nails, Pantera, and Danny Elfman, the duo released three EPs the following year, Evanescence, Sound Asleep, and Whisper.
Vocalist Amy Lee and former guitarist Ben Moody formed Evanescence (meaning “fading away” or “disappearance”) after Moody heard Lee play I’d Do Anything for Love by Meatloaf on the piano at a Christian youth camp. Perhaps one of the most well-known and praised gothic metal bands of all time, Evanescence has become a household name since their early formation in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995.

The remaining three members decided to carry on with the band’s reunion in her honor. However, just days before the reunited band was about to make their reformation public, Kuehnemund was diagnosed with cancer and passed away ten months later at the age of 59. In 2012, Kuehnemund gathered the bands original members to reunite the iconic original lineup. They released their final studio album in 2006, Live & Learn, just two years following their appearance on VH1’s show Bands Reunited. In 2001 the group reunited again with the return of Kuehnemund and new bassist Pat Holloway. They released their 1998 third studio album, Tangerine, before splitting again shortly after its release. The group had a small reunion in 1997, briefly replacing Kuehnemund and Pedersen with Gina Stile and Rana Ross. The group disbanded a year after the tour, supposedly because of “musical differences” between the members. In 1990, they recorded their second album, Rev It Up, which led to another successful tour alongside bands Deep Purple and KISS. The band went on to headline their own tour the following year, but also supported Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne and Scorpions on their tours. The group was signed to EMI Manhattan the following year and went on to release their debut eponymous studio album which featured one of their greatest hits to date, Edge of a Broken Heart. Though Vixen was created in 1980 by guitarist Jan Kuehnemund after leaving her high school band Lemon Pepper, it wasn’t until 1987 that the iconic lineup came to be, featuring vocalist Janet Gardner, drummer Roxy Petrucci and bassist Share Pedersen. Originally formed in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Vixen is considered one of the earliest female bands to emerge within the Los Angeles, California glam metal scene.
