Evanescenscenscescence ditching their roots would mean them stopping ripping off Lacuna Coil. But that would never happen.
Incidentally, I'm getting heartily sick of "nu" being used to describe anything.

Five Iron Frenzy is a band that is very up front about their christianity.
It is in several of their songs, but they make such excellent music that it doesn't matter.
edit to add wonderful lyrics
I have been scarred so deep by life and cold despair,
and brittle bones were broken far beyond repair.
I have leveled lies so deep, the truth may never find. And inside my faithless heart, I stole things never mine.
If mercy falls upon the broken and the poor,
Dear Father, I will see you, there on distant shores.
I have toiled for countless years and ever felt the cost,
and I've been burned by this world's cold,
like leaves beneath the frost.
On my knees I've crawled to You,
bleeding myself dry.
But the price of life is more than I could ever buy.
And off of the blocks,
I was headstrong and proud,
at the front of the line for the card-carrying, highbrowed. With both eyes fastened tight,
yet unscarred from the fight.
Running at full tilt, my sword pulled from its hilt.
It's funny how these things can slip away,
our frail deeds,
the last will wave good-bye.
It's funny how the hope will bleed away,
the citadels we build and fortify.
Good-Bye.
Night came and I broke my stride,
I swallowed hard, but never cried.
When grace was easy to forget,
I'd denounce the hypocrites,
casting first stones,
killing my own.
You would unscale my blind eyes,
and I stood battered, but more wise,
fighting to accelerate,
shaking free from crippling weight.
With resilience unsurpassed,
I clawed my way to You at last.
And on my knees, I wept at Your feet,
I finally believed, that You still loved me.
Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again.
Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning bright within our hearts forever.
Freedom means love without condition, without beginning or an end.
Here's my heart, let it be forever Yours,
only You can make every new day seem so new.
Five Iron Frenzy - On Distant Shores

To sell out would imply they had integrity at some point.
Effervescence is nothing more than a bunch of talentless hacks doing their best attempt at a Lacuna Coil impression. Makes me sick that Effervescence has deluded so many people into thinking their original when Lacuna Coil has been playing that sound (and doing it a thousand times better in both the songwriting and musicianship departments) since the mid-90's.

lorl if i change the name of the band when i'm talking about them i can make fun of them and be witty roofles
Relient K is another Christian band I really love (along with FIF) who don't make songs about how much they love God and how much of a Jesus freak they are. OK, yes, there are worship songs, but there are also songs that denounce the average Christian (read: hypocrite).
"Down in Flames"
Christians - we're all afraid of fire.
We prefer to suck on pacifiers.
Baby pacifists, we're throwing fits.
We don't shake hands, we shake our fists.
We're cannibals.
We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.
Finally fell asleep on the plane
To wake to see we're going down in flames.
We're going down, down, down in flames.
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.
We see the problem and the risk,
But nothing's solved.
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk, "
And, "Shame, shame, shame. "
Finally fell asleep on the plane
To wake to see we're going down in flames.
Let's go!
Christians - we mourn, the thorn is stuck
In the side of the body watch it self - destruct.
The enemy is much ignored
When we fight this Christian civil war.
We're cannibals.
We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.
Finally fell asleep on the plane
To wake to see we're going down in flames.
We're going down, down, down in flames.
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.
We see the problem and the risk,
But nothing's solved.
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk, "
And, "Shame, shame, shame. "
Finally fell asleep on the plane
To wake to see we're going down in flames.
Na na na na, na na na na. [x8]
Let me pause to clarify
('cause I'm sure you're asking, "Why?").
I stand before you and proudly claim
To belong to what this song complains.
I'm part of the problem,
I confess,
But I gotta get this off my chest.
Let's extinguish the anguish
For which we're to blame,
And save the world
From going down in flames.
