The Font:
According to What The Font, The font is closest to this one is Jean Splice Lorite.It's close in that it has a lot of the same letter shapes and strokes (as can be seen in the V) but it's not the same. I find myself wondering if it were somehow specially designed for the band.
About the usage:
It's a fancy display type used for the band and album name. Given that Evanescence is a sort of Goth Metal-ish band it is an appropriate type. I think it's pretty, but it's not good for a lot of text. From the album art that I have, it's been used on pretty much all of their studio albums.
Where I saw it:
I own 3 of their studio albums, (Fallen, Anywhere But Home (the one pictured) and The Open Door.) I was running out of ideas and cleaning up the office when I decided to go with this. Maybe I'll do more musical artist typeface research, it's something that seems interesting to me.
