Collection vinyl box set that contains all Evanescence discography from Origin to 2016. It also contains a 52-page casebound book, with collectable art portfolio that includes never-before-seen handwritten lyrics and art. Aside from official albums, it also has the Lost Whispers new album, which contains all the B-sides of the last albums, a new version of Even In Death and the long sought-after Lost Whispers (the song used as an intro for the 2009 shows).[2]

Vin1.jpg It was actually really cool to reconnect with the history of the band, because it’s been a minute now. I’m 34, and I think we started making Evanescence music when I was, I don’t know, a young teenager. So there’s a big history, and there’s a large volume of music.

It’s cool, it feels really good to be able to listen back just at the body of work and be like, “Wow, this is cool. I did something with my life.” And there are things from the oldest stuff especially where I would never do that now. Like oh, my gosh, we were trying to sound like some crazy orchestral Metallica thing, I don’t know.

But I was cringing at moments; I have to be honest. I’m listening back at that stuff and cringing. But as a fan, I love it.[3]

The box set was delayed from December 9, 2016 to January 2017 due to a problem with the manufacturer. To make up for the disappointment, Amy signed and sent out exclusive posters immediately to all those who have pre-ordered it.[4][5] It was finally released on February 17.[6]
