Origin album cover

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. Amy Lee, the band's frontwoman, has also said that she considers it to be a "dressed up" demo CD, rather than an actual debut album.

Due to the limited amount of official copies, enterprising bootleggers have been selling fake copies of the album at inflated prices over many Internet shops, often with completely different tracks and cover art, and under the guise of a "Russian re-release." These CDs are in no way endorsed by the band.

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.
