We Are The Fallen is comprised of the original members of the multi-
platinum trailblazing band Evanescence, guitarists Ben Moody and John
LeCompt along with drummer Rocky Gray, with enigmatic American Idol
finalist Carly Smithson powering the vocal reins of the new group.
Respected touring and studio bassist Marty O’Brien (Disturbed and Static-X,
among others) rounds out the iconic five-some. The energetic creative
engine behind the launch of Evanescence, Moody and the other members
of We Are The Fallen found a true partner in Smithson, who always
envisioned a band environment as her dream move following Idol. Ben
Moody who co-founded the band, was a principal writer of the 15-million
selling debut, Fallen, departed Evanescence in 2003. Since that time, he has
enjoyed a prolific career as a producer and songwriter. When asked about
the formation of We Are The Fallen, he shared, “I am finally home.” Singer
Smithson added, “As an artist I have never been happier. Creatively,
musically visually, and on a comedic level we are united and together on the
same page. We are a family.”

Guitarist Ben Moody has been publicly crediting the group's unique chemistry as the
driving force behind We Are The Fallen, describing Carly Smithson's role as a 'true
partner,' and a key component to We Are The Fallen's overall sound. Moody left the
platinum-plus breakthrough rock act Evanesence in 2003, and has since co-written
major hits for Chris Daughtry and Kelly Clarkson among others. Evanescence’s
groundbreaking 2003 album, Fallen, spent an incredible 43 weeks on the Billboard
Top Ten Albums Chart, selling 15 million copies worldwide, and 7 million + albums in
the U.S. alone.
For Smithson, We Are The Fallen completes her dream - after exiting American Idol -
of becoming a creative force in a 'vital' band environment. Carly Smithson was a sixth
place finisher during Season 7 of the landmark television series American Idol, duly
recognized for having one of the hit shows most loyal fan bases. The fiery singer’s
‘elimination’ sent shockwaves through the ‘Idol’ blogger nation, with her acclaimed
performances on the 2008 American Idol Tour cementing her current reputation as
one of rock's most formidable female voices.
