# Consensus was reached that the official genre is to remain rock / alternative rock / pop, because this is how Evanescence identifies themselves on [http://www.myspace.com/evanescence their MySpace page]. Any attempts to change this that are not supported by a change on their MySpace page will be reverted. There's no more official source than the band itself.

# We've had problems on this page before from excessive links and spam in the external links section. It would be a good idea to start a discussion on the addition of new links here before adding them, because only the most official and important links are likely to be retained.

[[Talk:Evanescence/Archive20061109#The Open Door = Amy Lee solo album?|"The band" didn't have much of a hand in writing 'Fallen' either (look at the writing credits and you'll see). It's not like it's any different now. Terry just replaced Ben as the co-writer.]]

|action7date=17:40, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

:I'm sorry, but that's a complete lie. There were only three members of the band when Fallen was being written, Amy and Ben helped write all the tracks and David co-wrote most. Now Amy writes ALL the tracks, three or four on her own even (which is unforgivable), with (you can see from things the band say) Terry merely adding to what she wants in the tracks he co-writes. Rocky and Will had NO writing input (and very little musical too) in The Open Door, and they were part of the band. Also, Good Enough is literally Amy Lee and Amy Lee alone (Hello and My Immortal weren't, as David played keyboards then). So don't go saying very little has changed since Fallen. <s>Evanescence used to be good.</s> [[User:U-Mos|U-Mos]] 16:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

::Uh, I didn't write that, some Anon did. They just were never tagged with {{tl|unsigned2}}. Also, please remember that statements such as "Evanescence used to be good." are simply your opinion, and only serve to be inflammatory to others.

In March 27, the single and lyric video "Afterlife" by [[Evanescence]] featured in the [[Netflix]]'s [[Devil May Cry (TV series)|Devil May Cry]] series soundtrack was released. The music video was released in April 17, including references of "[[Bring Me to Life]]" and "[[Going Under]]" music videos.

:::For me, Evanescence is much beter now and will continue improving. Just because Ben Moody left, it doesn't mean that Amy owns the band...She has said that she could consider a solo career, but not now when she's so young, (maybe on 15 or 20 years though xD)...[[User:Eacz12|<font color=#000>A</font><font color="#333333">r</font><font color="#666666">m</font><font color="#757575">a</font><font color="#808080">n</font><font color="#999999">d</font><font color="#A8A8A8">o</font>]] ^{([[User talk:Eacz12|<font color="#666">talk</font>]]|[[User talk:Eacz12/Images|<font color="#666">ImgTalk</font>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Eacz12|<font color="#666">contribs</font>]])} 23:55, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

== Semi-protected edit request on 7 July 2025 ==

I apologise for attributing the quote to Hunster and for including my personal opinion. Evanescence just make me really angry these days... Also, saying "Ben was the band" could be argued as true, as they are barely recognisable since he left. [[User:U-Mos|U-Mos]] 11:53, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

{{Edit semi-protected|Evanescence|answered=yes}}

Does it really matter? The boys are happy. If they wern't they would have left.

The block at the bottom of page listing albums, songs, and tours needs to be updated. The songs section, specifically, needs to be updated with Evanescence's recent singles: "Better Without You" (2021), "Yeah Right" (2023), "Afterlife" (2025), and "Fight Like a Girl" (2025). Afterlife, especially, since it has been charting at the top of Billboard's active rock radio chart. [[User:ChaoticWyvern|ChaoticWyvern]] ([[User talk:ChaoticWyvern|talk]]) 20:52, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

== Genre: ==

I know this has been one of the most debated subjects ever, but i can honestly say they are definately NOT a pop band. If you have ripped songs off "Fallen" and "The Open Door", you will see that the genres are: "Gothic Metal", "Hard Rock" and "Alternative Metal".

I am angry with people calling them a pop band as they clearly arent, just because they are successful with the mainstream doesn't mean they are a pop band! I will continue to change the genres until someone comes to their senses and LEAVES IT!!!

:We work on facts here. I may agree that they are not a pop band, I may personally feel they are gothic or whatever, but their ''official'' myspace page states Pop, Rock and Alt, so that is what we use. Until something else official comes along, it will stay that way. End of story. If you do keep changing this, it will be considered intentional vandalism, and you face the potential of being blocked. Just a word of caution. -- [[User:Huntster|<span style="font-size:13px; font-variant:small-caps; text-decoration:none;">'''Huntster'''</span>]] <sup style="font-size:10px;">[[User_talk:Huntster|'''T''']] • [[Special:Emailuser/Huntster|'''@''']] • [[Special:Contributions/Huntster|'''C''']]</sup> 17:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
