Ben has released songs on both The Punisher and Fantastic Four soundtracks (the former also features fellow Evanescence co-founder, Amy Lee performing with Seether).
On Tuesday December 16, 2008 he released his Mutiny Bootleg EP, which came free with a copy of Hana Pestle's EP that night. Moody is quoted as saying "there’s a duet between Hana and I on there that won't be on the record and won’t be released anywhere ever again. It’s free because I want this sh*t spread everywhere, so be sure that all your friends share the four songs with as many people as possible!" The EP is therefore available for free download from http://drop.io/benmoodymutinybootlegep.
His debut solo album, All For This, featuring Hana Pestle on backing vocals, has been in the works since 2005 and was released June 9, 2009 on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Amie Street via his own record label. The physical release is forthcoming.
We Are The Fallen, featuring Ben Moody, John LeCompt and Rocky Gray (all formerly of Evanescence), along with Carly Smithson and Marty O'Brien, debuted on June 22, 2009 with the song "Bury Me Alive."

The End Has Come(Ft. Jason Mil
Ben Moody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With my soul and spirit dead
Killing everything in me
What is one used to be free
Now to drive away the pain
I'll destroy all I distain
I'll become what I despise
(Don't ever back down)
Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end time has come
So now I come for you
Now obsession rules my mind
This commotion makes me blind
Searching out who ever runs
Or has stolen away my life
But i've already said
Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end time has come
So I come for you
AHHHHH
You trip on everything
I'll take your tired breath
I can't feel anything
I live to see you to your death
A new heart with me
As might be just as quick
Through your tortured expens
'cause I'll never back down
Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end time has come
So now I come for you
(Don't back down)
I'll drive you down
I'll beat you to the ground
My end time has come
So now I come for you
DON'T BACK DOWN!
These lyrics depict a person who has lost everything and has been left with a dead soul and spirit. The pain that they feel is so overwhelming that they have decided to destroy everything they once admired and become what they despise. They have been blinded by their obsession to find whoever took away their life and are now on a path to seek their ultimate revenge.
The chorus warns the listener not to back down and not to turn around because the end time has come for the singer. They are coming for whoever has stolen away their life, and they are not afraid to destroy anything or anyone who stands in their way. The haunting screams in the bridge emphasize the level of anger and desperation that the singer is feeling.
Overall, this song touches on the theme of loss, pain, obsession, and revenge. The singer has been pushed to the brink of insanity, and they will stop at nothing to get back what was taken from them.

You trip on everything
You are weak and vulnerable
I'll take your tired breath
I will take away your life
I can't feel anything
I am so consumed by my obsession that I am numb to everything else
I live to see you to your death
I am living for the moment when you die
A new heart with me
I have a new drive and purpose
As might be just as quick
I might act quickly and decisively
Through your tortured expens
Your suffering and pain will be avenged
'cause I'll never back down
Because I will never give up, no matter what
I'll drive you down
I will overpower and defeat you
I'll beat you to the ground
I will completely destroy you
DON'T BACK DOWN!
An emphatic insistence to never give up or surrender

I think so. Thomas Jane was excellent. He let you feel the hatred, the despair, the motivation to become a monster and do horrible things you sometimes dream about doing when you lose yourself but never actually go the last step and do it. Because horrible things to happen to great people.
