This list is regarding Evanescence's Pre-Fallen material spanning from their start in 1995 until the release of their first promotional single, Bring Me to Life, in 2002. We will also be touching briefly on some history and information revolving around these old tracks.

On February 24, 2003, [in an interview], Amy and Ben gave their permission to download all pre-Fallen material after learning that their Origin album was selling on eBay for $250.00.


1995 to 1998

It is well known that in 1995 this is when Evanescence first got their start. Ben Moody and Amy Lee met at church camp. Ben's story differs a bit from Amy's, but this is to be expected. Ben noticed Amy after she had been playing numerous songs on piano, but what caught his ear is when she played Meatloaf's I'd Do Anything for Love. Ben approached Amy and struck up a conversation and asked if she would like to start a band with him. Amy obliged. Evanescence's first "professional" recording was finished and their first EP was released.

Under the name of Childish Intentions, Evanescence recorded three songs onto a cassette tape (posted to Ben Moody's Instagram, with the caption of "First. Demo. Ever.").

  1. Solitude
  2. Understanding
  3. Track 3

Their first professional recording, simply titled Evanescence was a cassette with two confirmed tracks on it.

  1. Solitude
  2. Understanding

In December 1998, Evanescence's first EP was "released" to friends and family.

  2. Goodnight later released in 2000 on Blitz Locals
