Sweet Sacrifice
"Sweet Sacrifice" is a song by American rock band Evanescence. It was released on May 25, 2007, as the third single from their second studio album, ''The Open Door''. It was written by Amy Lee and Terry Balsamo while the production was handled by Dave Fortman. "All That I'm Living For" was initially planned to be the third single, as announced at live concerts and online. However, due to requests from the band and fan reaction, Wind-up reconsidered its release and announced that "Sweet Sacrifice" would be the band's third single from ''The Open Door''. Evanescence's lead singer Amy Lee wrote the song about the abusive relationship that inspired all of the songs on the group's debut record ''Fallen'' (2003).
"Sweet Sacrifice" is a rock song written in a moderate tempo. Several critics found a metaphor to Evanescences former guitarist Ben Moody in the song. Upon its release, "Sweet Sacrifice" received mostly positive reviews by critics; many deemed the song as a highlight on the album and praised Lee's vocals, which some described as "haunting". Although the song failed to chart as highly as the band's previous singles, it appeared on the charts in Turkey and Germany, as well as the ''Billboard'' Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. "Sweet Sacrifice" was nominated in the category for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 50th Grammy Awards. A music video for the song, directed by Paul R. Brown, was filmed in California between March 9 and March 10, 2007; It contained mostly live performances and was compared with the film, ''The Cell'' (2000). "Sweet Sacrifice" was also added on the set-list on Evanescence's The Open Door Tour.
==Background and release==
"Sweet Sacrifice" was written by Amy Lee and Terry Balsamo while the production was handled by Dave Fortman.〔 It was recorded in Record Plant Studios, Los Angeles, mixed by Dave Fortman at Ocean Way Studios, Los Angeles and mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, New York.〔 The programming was done by DJ Lethal.〔〔 Talking about ''The Open Door'', Lee said that lot of people expected the new songs on the album to be similar with "My Immortal" (2003) before adding that "'Weight of the World', 'Sweet Sacrifice' and 'All That I'm Living For' are so amazing to me because of the adrenaline. Especially when we play them live."〔 She further revealed the inspiration behind the song,
It's the one song on ''The Open Door'' that's about the same abusive relationship which was the source of all the songs on ''Fallen''. It was appropriate to put this song at the beginning, but it comes from a much stronger standpoint than ''Fallen''. It's not saying, "I'm trapped in fear and somebody save me." It's saying, "Fear is only in our minds ... I'm not afraid anymore."〔
The band announced at live concerts and online that their upcoming third single from ''The Open Door'' would be "All That I'm Living For," however, due to requests from the band and fan reaction, Wind-up announced that "Sweet Sacrifice" would be the band's third single from ''The Open Door''.〔 The original single was released in Germany on May 25, 2007, featuring a basic and premium version.〔 Elsewhere, it was scheduled for a release on May 8, 2007 through Amazon.com but it was later canceled.〔〔
