The band Evanescence is originally from Little Rock, Arkansas. The two founding members, Ben Moody and Amy Lee, met at a Christian church summer camp. They have produced Christian rock music for the past several years. They describe their music as "epic, dramatic, dark rock." They name Type O Negative, Living Sacrifice, Portishead and Sarah McLachlan as music influences. A website describes their music as having a "unique sound that took in elements of metal, electronic music and (probably without intending it) goth rock." They're still relatively young (both founding members are now in their early twenties). Their new album, Fallen, was just released yesterday. Help support this band! Pray that they don't sell out too badly!

Has Anyone Heard the Song "Bring Me to Life?" (By Evanescence)

Sure, they've been spinning that tune since about December here on San Francisco Bay Area modern rock stations. Plus the WWE (formerly WWF) promoted that song heavily for their last PPV.

They have produced Christian rock music for the past several years.

Evanescence actually try to distance themselves from the lable "Christian rock music". There is obvious influence, but their intent is not to make Christian music. Here is an excpet from an article about them:

Ben Moody made to distance his band from the Christian community. He told Rolling Stone, “We’re in no way a ministry band. It just doesn’t have anything to do with our music.” Another interview even found Moody dropping f-bombs. “We’re actually high on the Christian charts, and I’m like, ‘What the (expletive) are we doing there?’”

Well, the CD isn't exactly new, it came out in 2003.
But all the tracks are really good.

Their song 'My Immortal' is fantastic.

Hmm, why are you posting an old chat? Just to see if anyone would notice?
