Is the band Evanescence a Christian band?

Answer 1

Evanecscence is not a Christian band. Evanescence has often been called a Christian band because of the song Tourniquet which was written by their ex-drummer in a Christian point of view many people falsely classified Evanescence as a Christian band.

People are very confused about this, and understandably they should be. Evanescence started out in Little Rock, Arkansas as a "Christian Band". They were promoted as a "Christian Band" by all of the Christian community, and they knew the whole time. As a matter of fact, I remember them playing a TNT many times, which was an exclusive Christian venue.

Wind-Up Records has a history with recruiting Christian bands with a decent sound, and then getting them to play non-Christian Music for more money. Creed is a perfect example of this, they were in a similar situation. So Amy Lee may be sick of getting that question asked, but it's her own damn fault. They promoted themselves as Christian band for so long in Arkansas as a local act, that is now part of their official classification.

Answer 2

No, Evanescence is not a Christian band. However, Evanescence has been interested in Christianity for awhile. But Amy Lee confirmed that the band was not Christian in an interview.

Their first album 'Fallen' had songs that had Christian meanings and lyrics as well. My God, return to me salvation- lyrics from Tourniquet are confirmed to be Christian lyrics, but the meaning of the song is not Christian.

Answer 3

One band member said that they were a Christian band, and he wanted to go into that direction, but then the rest of the band said that they weren't.

But the whole band has had an interest in the religion for a long time, but Amy Lee is not a Christian. Ben Moody ( the guitar player) is a Christian and he wanted the band to be a Christian band. When the album was released, it was released into Christian stores and was a really big hit. But Amy Lee said they are not Christian.

Answer 4

No, they're not.

However, they did used to have a band member who was a Christian, and so back then their music had a more religious aspect to it, although they still didn't consider themselves a Christian band.

Amy Lee (the lead singer from Evanescence) says that she and the band Evanescence has had an interest in Christianity for a while, but she said they did not want to be known as a Christian band, rather a rock band.

Answer 5

Yes, but they are not a Christian band. The song Tourniquet was originally by SOul Embraced, Rocky Gray's Christian metal band, and the Unknown Song, which was sang at Vino's Bar in 1999 contains the lines "I'm not afriad of those who kill the body, for still they cannot kill the soul," which is a paraphrase of a Bible verse.

There is also some speculation that the song October is a Christian song, but there is no direct mention of religion in the song.

Answer 6

Evanescence's members are Christian, but they are not in the Christian genre.
