WE ARE THE FALLEN Singer Talks Debut Album, EVANESCENCE Comparisons

May 11, 2010

On May 10, WE ARE THE FALLEN frontwoman and former "American Idol" powerhouse vocalist Carly Smithson was interviewed on "Access Hollywood". Smithson sets the record straight with "Access" about her new band and whether they more than a reincarnation of EVANESCENCE; and what she is most "excited" for surrounding the release of WE ARE THE FALLEN's debut album, "Tear the World Down". Watch the chat below.

WE ARE THE FALLEN is the group formed by EVANESCENCE co-founder Ben Moody (guitar) and other former members — John LeCompt (guitar) and Rocky Gray (drums) — along with Smithson and bassist Marty O'Brien (DISTURBED, KELLY CLARKSON, STATIC-X, METHODS OF MAYHEM,TOMMY LEE).

WE ARE THE FALLEN recorded a studio version "Like A Prayer" during the sessions for the band's debut album, "Tear The World Down", but opted to leave it off the record. According to Moody, the group is saving it for "something special."

"Tear The World Down" was released today (Tuesday, May 11) via Universal Republic Records.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Bury Me Alive
02. Burn
03. Paradigm
04. Don't Leave Me Behind
05. Sleep Well, My Angel
06. Through Hell
07. I Will Stay
08. Without You
09. St. John
10. I Am Only One
11. Tear The World Down

30-second audio samples of all the tracks that appear on the album can be streamed on Amazon.com.

The group's first single, "Bury Me Alive", was made available exclusively via the digital domain in early February. A second track, "Without You", is currently being streamed on the band's official web site.

WE ARE THE FALLEN made its live debut on March 23 at Kings College in London, England. A 28-city U.S. tour as the support act for HIM launched on March 26 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and wrapped Sunday night (May 9) at The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza.
