The Open Door
is the second
studio album by
American rock band
released on
September 25, 2006
by Wind-up Records.
Singer-keyboardist
Amy Lee
had full creative control
of the record,
incorporating new elements
into their previous
musical styles,
including her
classical influences,
homemade sounds,
industrial rock,
symphonic metal,
progressive rock,
electronica
and the use of choirs
on several songs.
Most of the songs were
co-composed by
Lee and guitarist
Terry Balsamo,
with production handled by
Dave Fortman.
The album was written
in the course of
18 months,
and the recording process
was delayed as a
result of Balsamo's stroke.

and Switzerland,
