Origin (album)

Origin was the first album released by Evanescence on the Big-Wig Enterprises label. Released in 2000, Origin was only sold to audiences in their hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. Only 2,500 albums were printed, but due to the band's recent popularity, the number of overpriced and pirated versions of Origin have sky-rocketed. Evanescence has been reported to say that they prefer their fans to copy/download the CD rather than buy it. They also prefer it to be considered as a "dressed up" demo CD rather than their debut album.

Evanescence rerecorded three songs from this album for their more widespread album Fallen. While "Whisper" and "My Immortal" are fundamentally the same on both albums, "Imaginary" exhibited a major change in structure between Origin and Fallen. In addition to these three songs, the band continued to play "Even in Death" in concert until late 2003.
