*sigh* How did I know someone would say that. It's ridiculous.

1. Evanescence started making EPs at the same time as Lacuna Coil. 1998.
2. Lacuna Coil is from Italy. Evanescence is from Arkansas.
3. Evanescence doesn't sound like Lacuna Coil. I have two Evanescence CDs (Origin and Fallen) and I have two Lacuna Coil CDs (Comalies and Unleashed Memories) and they don't sound alike. The ONLY things they have in common is the female singer with the black hair and the ethereal-ish sounds, but even THAT is different because Evanescence uses choirs and piano and violins, while LC is more inclined to use electronics.

Evanescence did not rip-off Lacuna Coil.
