While the official commercial Greatest Hits album wouldn't arrive until much later (the official Synthesis and The Ultimate Collection dropped in 2017 and 2016 respectively), the iteration refers specifically to a promotional or region-specific compilation. Many collectors believe this 2012 set was a "Tour Edition" released in select European and South American markets (notably Brazil and Germany), designed to introduce new fans at the Carnival of Madness tour to the band’s full discography.
The compilation album is a carefully curated selection of the band's most popular and enduring songs. Released on November 6, 2012, this 2-CD set is a comprehensive collection of Evanescence's greatest hits, featuring a total of 37 tracks. The album was produced by David Fortman and Amy Lee, the band's lead vocalist. evanescence greatest hits 2012 2cd 320kbps cb verified
