Trying To Categorize Evanescence? Stop It - NJ.Com Interview (2012)

In an interesting interview by NJ.com (before playing at the House of Blues, Atlantic City, for Carnival of Madness Tour), Evanescence was asked several questions, including about how could they be categorized - metal, rock, goth, pop genre or anything else.

In some interviews, Amy Lee had stated that they were more of an alternative rock band, and in another she said that labels in general could just go away. In this interview, drummer Will Hunt said that they couldn't really be categorized, just like how would you categorize Coheed and Cambria.

While people often regard Evanescence as "goth", Amy Lee emphasized in an interview on Atlantic City Weekly that she didn't want to be tossed in that bin and that she only wanted to make music.
