Evanescence is NOT a Christian band!!!
Guitarist Ben Moody said the following about the band's presence on Christian charts:
"We’re actually high on the Christian charts, and I’m
like, What the f*ck are we even doing there?"
- Entertainment Weekly, April 18, 2003, p. 41
The band's lead singer, Amy Lee, also told Entertainment Weekly:
"I guarantee that if the Christian bookstore owners listened
to some of those songs, they wouldn’t sell the CD."
Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) heralds their album Fallen, stating as such:
"Evanescence’s unapologetic declaration of faith in songs like ‘Tourniquet’
and ‘Whisper’ have Christian message boards buzzing with commentary about the band’s
seemingly brave ‘Jesus’ agenda."
- CCM, May 2003, p. 41

Now take a look at just some of their lyrics for yourself.
Breathe No More - Evanescence (Fallen)
I've been looking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my souls on the other side. . .
And I bleed, I bleed, . . .
Convince me that I've been sick forever.
Bring Me To Life - Evanescence (Fallen)
How can you see into my eyes. . .
Without a soul
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold . . .
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up.
Bid my blood to run. . .
Farther Away - Evanescence (Fallen)
I sold my soul just to hide the light.
And now I see what I really am,
A thief a whore, and a liar.
Whisper - Evanescence (Fallen)
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drive me
Into madness
I know I can stop the pain. . .
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Who's truth drives them into madness?
Jesus says in John 8:32, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free"
Do you believe this is "Christian" music?
