Twenty years after The Open Door took Evanescence beyond the enormous success of Fallen, the band are revisiting their second album with a newly remastered and expanded anniversary edition.
The 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition arrives on 6 November 2026 through Craft Recordings, with two-LP, CD and digital formats planned.
The Open Door anniversary reissue: formats and bonus tracks
Alongside the original album, the expanded release includes four bonus recordings: the rarities If You Don’t Mind, Together Again and The Last Song I’m Wasting On You, plus a previously unreleased demo of Good Enough. A remastered version of Sweet Sacrifice is already available.
The original record included songs such as Call Me When You’re Sober, Lithium and Good Enough, and demonstrated the band’s appetite for a more expansive, experimental sound.
Why The Open Door still matters
Anniversary editions can sometimes feel like another opportunity to repackage familiar material. This one has a more interesting angle: the bonus tracks and early demo offer listeners a look at music from an important creative period in Evanescence’s history.
For longtime fans, it’s an excuse to revisit a record that marked a turning point. For younger alternative-rock listeners discovering the band, the expanded edition provides another way in.
The anniversary edition is scheduled for 6 November. We’ll keep an eye on further release details as the date approaches. Also arriving that month is Little Angels’ Big Bad & Back EP, another return with something new for longstanding rock fans.
