At first the band had found some local fame in Little Rock, releasing their first CDs there, before blasting on to the music scene with their debut album Fallen which has sold over 14 million copies worldwide to date.
Many people consider the band rock but the band doesnt truly fit the criteria for rock. The real genre of the group is Symphonic or Gothic Metal.
Evanescence is underated

The best band with the best songs ever!! "Although Away From Me" comes across pop-like to me, "Missing" will forever remain perfect in my heart. They come across as Dark Rock, Hard Rock, Goth Rock. (although they aren't really goth...)
Away from me is an awesome song!!
-sings-
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds...

Missing!! -sings-
Please, please, forgive me...

An amazing and amazingly underrated band. Sure, you probably know Bring Me to Life and My Immortal because of memes. But seriously, they have way better songs than that. If you already liked those two songs, you will love the rest of their music. Really, you won't regret it. At least check them out. Expand your music taste.
Person of non-specific gender #1: hey dude, what are you listening to?
Person of non-specific gender #2: Evanescence!
Person of non-specific gender #1: didn't they make that song Bring Me to Life or something?
Person of non-specific gender #2: Yeah, but they have better stuff. Listen to them.

Probably the best band to ever come into existence. Amy Lee's voice is perfect; the contradiction between the music and her singing sounds wonderful. Typically called "goth rock", the band doesn't really fit under that definition.
The people at my school don't understand good music; no one here likes Evanescence.

An incorrect way of spelling evanescence, most generally applied by children too stupid to understand when they are gracelessly revealing their ignorance.
Original definer: Evanescance are some shitty emo band who attract dumbass teens.
Reply: Perhaps you should learn how to spell Evanescence before embarassing yourself in front of "dumbasses."

A form of evanescence(also the name of a kick ass band), evanescent means to have a tendancy to dissapear or vanish like vapor.
