Evanescence is the first EP by Evanescence, when it was Amy Lee and Ben Moody, released in 1998.[1][2] Bigwig Enterprises was credited as distributor.[2] Amy and Ben first sold the EP to acquaintances and family as support in December 1998. They then sold it at a January 1999 live show at Vino's in Little Rock, Arkansas, as a printed CD-R. The EP sold out that night for $15 each. Only 100 copies of the EP were made.[2] Amy said in 2011 that this EP was a compilation of demos from when Evanescence started out.[3]
The cover features the sculpture Angel of Grief by William Wetmore Story.
On November 8, 1998, Evanescence was interviewed at the local radio KABF 88.3 FM, in Little Rock. Most of the songs from the EP were aired that day, including an acoustic version of Understanding.[4] The EP was originally titled Origin, but it ended up being the title of their demo album two years later.[4]
