For a while, they were unable to find other musicians who can play with them and do not have the funds to pay for professional assistance, so they can not play live. But two of their song "Understanding" and "Give Unto Me", can enter the local music charts and the demand for live performances began to increase. After this group was finally able berpentas, they eventually become one of the most popular performances in their area. They berpentas use several names including "Childish Intentions" and "Stricken," before deciding to use the name "Evanescence" (which means "berpudar", or "evaporate like smoke").

Their debut album, Origin (released in 2000), less known by the community of music lovers. Evanescence also released two EPs, which are now highly sought after by collectors because it is very rare: Evanescence EP (1998) in which there are about 100 copies and, Sound Asleep EP, also known as the Whisper EP (1999), and is limited to 50 copies. Not surprisingly, Origin and the two EPs contain demo versions of several songs on their debut album. In fact, recording the song "My Immortal" is also found on Fallen, but there are at Origin, minus a few instruments accompaniment. But Amy Lee himself considered that recording an album that is not true but just a collection of demo songs (some of which are not performed properly) that was sent to the music companies. Only 2500 copies of these recordings ever made and this limits its availability to only a lucky few can afford in the early years or to those who are willing to pay hundreds of dollars. In response, Amy Lee even encourages fans to download it from the internet in an interview.

Then the song Breathe No More previously unreleased, including the Elektra movie soundtrack which was released in 2005.
On October 22, 2003, Moody abruptly left the band, but was in the midst of a European tour. The reason initially reported because they had "creative differences." But in an interview a few months later, [1], Amy Lee said: "We reached a point where if something is not defiled change, we will not be able to make a second album."
After that time, Amy Lee once said that kepergiaan Ben could almost say relief because its presence creates tension in the band. Terry Balsamo from Cold band replacing Moody. Moody recently admitted in an interview that he suffered from bipolar disorder, but left drug treatment and alcohol when he was seen clashes with Evanescence. He also said that the song he wrote when his departure suddenly and titled "10/22", originally written to vilify Amy Lee.

Evanescence now is in preparation for recording their third album to be released in the year 2010. The first song of this album is "Call Me When You're Sober". Music video managed to get a top position at MTV for nine days. Music video starts with Amy Lee singing facing upwards, then off-screen where he is shown having dinner with a man. At the beginning of the song, Amy Lee singing as he stroked a wolf. On the second chorus song, Amy Lee singing as he descended the stairs and was accompanied by four dancers Gothic themed. While Amy Lee sing, they dance with regularly and at the end of the ladder, they posed as if to give strength to Amy.
When Amy sing the verse "You never call me when you're sober", Amy, and four dancers standing modestly, and Amy flew slowly upwards. When the beat of the song before the end, the four dancers were also flying and spinning in circles on the left and right Amy.

The band is often equated with nu-metal bands like Linkin Park, POD and Papa Roach, but many fans who refuse because this equation is less precise because it is only based on the song "Bring Me to Life" course, which also featured vocalist of 12 Stones; Paul McCoy's rap-style music that plays on some short sections of this song. But this is not representative for most of their songs, both in album Fallen and their works earlier. Evanescence is also equated with bands such as In Winter, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, and Within Temptation, all wearing female vocalists and themes of the lyrics are dark, but the last bands are usually considered symphonic metal / gothic metal, not rock.
At live performances, Evanescence often play cover songs from bands like A Perfect Circle during, The Offspring, Garbage, Metallica, and Korn. They also perform songs alternative rock group that has been dissolved like Soundgarden and The Smashing Pumpkins.
