Ben Moody’s new band, We Are The Fallen, boasts a big-voiced female singer, sweeping choruses and lush rock orchestras. Love is a deep, dramatic ocean in every song. “But this is not,” Moody insists, “Evanescence 2.0.” “We never intended to give that impression. But it’s the entire lineup, minus the singer. It’s obvious that there are going to be a (expletive) ton of comparisons,” he says. “We would be naive to think that we would escape that. I just came into this world with something to do. And this is it.” Indeed, Moody calls We Are The Fallen the band he’s “always wanted” to be in — a big statement after his success as part of Evanescence, whose 2003 debut album, Fallen, sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. Moody left the band that same year (citing the well-worn creative differences) and went on to write and produce big hits for Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry and Celine Dion. We Are The Fallen came together less than a year ago and includes former Evanescence guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray, along with bassist Marty O’Brien (Static-X, Disturbed). “When you realize after trying many, many things that you do this one thing better than everything else you do, you might as well get your head out of your ass and stick to it,” Moody says. “We feel like we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.”
