Will recorded bass on Evanescence's second album The Open Door and co-wrote the B-side If You Don't Mind, later included on Lost Whispers in 2016.[5] He left Evanescence in June of 2006 after recording bass for The Open Door, as he didn't want to embark on another long tour and wanted to take a break and spend time with his family.[6]
