At the turn of the century Nu Metal was riding high. Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach were all selling millions of records, and angry boys rapping over Helmet-riffage and record scratches were the order of the day. Testosterone in mainstream rock was at an all time high. Emerging in 2003, Evanescence offered a twist on the format. At first derisively seen as merely “Linkin Park with a chick,” Evanescence had the chunky guitars and electronica flourishes but revitalised with gothic overtones and a feminine point of view in vocalist Amy Lee. But the music industry men, not knowing how to sell a female-fronted metal group, planned to make Evanescence sound more like everyone else. This is How “Bring Me To Life” was brought to life.
