Evanescence

1. To disappear, like vapor.
2. A great band formed in Little Rock, Arkansas. Founders are Amy Lee (singer, piano) and Ben Moody (ex-guitar). Other band members are Rocky Gray (drums), William Boyd (bass), John LeCompt and Terry Balsamo (guitars). As of now, the primary songwriter is Amy Lee. They are simply a rock group, usually falsely mis-labeled as christian rock. This happened because a cover of Tourniquet (song originally done by Rocky's old band) appeared on Fallen. The words "God" and "Christ" are mentioned a few times, but that'a all they're mentioned in the entire album. The album was first put in Christian stores, then taken out soon after. Their best selling album, Fallen, has gone 6X Platinum.

Recently, their live album, Anywhere But Home, caused Wal-Mart to be sued becauseit was being sold in Maryland without a Parental Advisory sticker attached to it. On track five of the album, a cover of the song Thoughtless, originally by Korn, Amy Lee swears 3 times during the course of the song, sticking with the original lyrics. Apparently, swearing in one song on an album warrants a Parental Advisory, and Marlyand Wal-Marts cannot, by law, sell albums containing this.

Evanescence

A great band formed back in 1996 that is constantly called a Lacuna Coil rip off band but both formed in 1996 (Lacuna Coil formed as Sleep of Right in 1994, but released no stuff until 1998 after they had changed their name to Lacuna Coil) and released their first EP's in 1998.
Girl: Eww. Evanescence, they like totally ripped of Lacuna Coil.
Guy: They both started in 1996 so getyour facts right

Evanescence

1. The event of fading and gradually vanishing from sight.

2. A metal band, founded on Little Rock (Arkansas) around the years 1995. The founders, were Ben Moody and Amy Lee. (Full: Amy Lynn Hartzler née Lee)
Ben Moody, who also served as a guitarist during Evanescence's first album, "Fallen" and most/all the Demos, evanesced from the band. Apparently, Amy Lee wanted to make the second album, of the 3-album contract with the recording studio (The Open Door) less "Christian-rock". Ben Moody didn't seem to agree, and so they decided that one of them should leave. Ben left, as you might have guessed... and Evanescence's second album, The Open Door was a hit. Now, we are expecting the new album, which is said to be released on 2010. :)
1. The evanescence of the morning mist wasn't completed, so the view from the roof was spectacular.

2. In my opinion, Ben Moody was right. Although, the second album of Evanescence didn't look very good to me, I wouldn't have preferred another vocalist for the band...
