Evanescence Celebrates 20 Years Of ‘The Open Door’ With Expanded Deluxe Edition

Evanescence’s ‘The Open Door’ Turns 20 — And It’s Getting A Deluxe Makeover

Two decades later, The Open Door is still wide open.

Evanescence is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its 2006 album with a newly remastered and expanded Deluxe Edition, set for release November 6 on 2-LP, CD and digital formats.

The anniversary package goes beyond the original 12-track album, bringing back several fan-favorite rarities from the era, including “If You Don’t Mind,” “Together Again” and “The Last Song I’m Wasting On You.” Fans will also get something they haven’t heard before: a previously unreleased “Good Enough” demo.

When The Open Door arrived in 2006, Evanescence had plenty to prove after the massive success of Fallen. Instead of simply repeating that formula, the band went bigger and darker, with orchestration, piano, electronic sounds and crushing guitars surrounding Amy Lee’s unmistakable vocals.

The gamble paid off. The Open Door debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, while “Call Me When You’re Sober” became a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. “Sweet Sacrifice” also earned a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance.

And the album is still finding new listeners. “Sweet Sacrifice” has recently picked up momentum on TikTok, introducing the song and the album to another generation.

As Evanescence continues its current world tour, the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition gives longtime fans a reason to go back through The Open Door all over again.
