The band also released two EPs. The first is the self-titled '' Evanescence EP '' (1998), of which about 100 copies were made and distributed at the band's early live performances. The second is the '' Sound Asleep EP '', also known as the ''Whisper EP'' (1999), which was limited to 50 copies. ''Origin'' and the EPs contain demo versions of some of the songs on their debut album, ''Fallen''. For example, the recording of "My Immortal", found on ''Fallen'', can also be found on ''Origin'', minus a handful of additional string accompaniments. Only 2,500 copies of this record were produced; in response, Lee and Moody encouraged fans to download the band's older songs from the Internet.
Meanwhile, Evanescence signed on with their first major label, Wind-up Records , and began work on their next album, ''Fallen''. While they were looking to promote ''Fallen'', Evanescence accepted an offer from the video game company Nintendo to perform on the " Nintendo Fusion Tour " which they headlined in 2003.
Vocalist Fernando Ribeiro of Moonspell contends that Evanescence is not a metal band.
