We're Not Goth - Evanescence original website removed!

[alocin]

You’ve always pushed yourself as a songwriter to expand the range of emotions and sounds in your music, and yet Evanescence still gets frequently described as a goth-rock or goth-metal band. How do you feel about the term goth still being used as much as it is in describing Evanescence?

I never have been [goth]. Our original Web site like in the '90s was called 'We're not goth.' [Laughs] But I understand it, and there are plenty of goth kids that are our fans too. I think goth is kind of a silly, outdated word. I think our music is rock, first of all, but then we incorporate a lot elements that make it dark. Nine Inch Nails is a big influence. Depeche Mode. The things I have always been into that have inspired the band have always been a little bit on the darker side. I'll call it dark, but I won't call it goth, because anyone who spends three hours putting on makeup everyday isn't really thinking about anything more than that.

I have only the homepage screenshot and the five Evanescence EP samples (Exodus - 1:05, Imaginary - 0:35, So Close - 1:15, Solitude 1:27, Where Will You Go - 1:04). 

"January 2, 1999 was a night that will go down in music history. It was the night of the first ever show by Evanescence, a Little Rock, AR band that will soon be taking the world by storm. Citing influences such as Type O Negative, Living Sacrifice and Portishead, this band creates a unique style of music that falls squarely within goth-related genres.

It was that night that the debut self-titled CD EP from Evanescence was released and sold out. It was a short run, of 100 I believe, but for a band who has only gotten exposure on two radio stations and who's fan base as of now is mostly local that's pretty doggone cool... "

These were the website links:

This was an important historical testimony of the band  . I want to save it and report his precipus content on The Ev Ref... I was just starting to do it (link).

Wow, I didn't know they used to have a website before Fallen. It's a shame to see it go.

Wow this is really rad! This is like a freaking relic! I which I knew about this before I would have saved stuff from it too.

How did I not ever see this? That reminds me, there was some website that had Amy's and Ben's email addresses a looooooong time ago that I vaguely remember. I sent her an email. Tee hee. That was so long ago... Not sure I even remember it right. It was before the band blew up huge though-- that I do remember.
