BMTL on the new issue of Metal Hammer as one of the 100 songs that changed our world. The bands seem to be in kind of a chronological order, listed in different "eras". The cover includes Amy in her "malice in wonderland" dress. Thanks to princeofpersia ( x) 00s: #81 EVANESCENCE - Bring Me To Life
(FALLEN, 2003) Evanescence's debut single, Bring Me To Life, turned vocalist Amy Lee into a megastar. Arriving in 2003, when mainstream music was dominated by hyper-masculine men and overly sexualised pop stars, with her billowing long skirts, corset tops, arm socks and steely self-confidence, Amy redefined what a female artist could be, becoming a role model for millions of misfits and dreamers everywhere. Despite its crunchy guitars and a rapped verse, courtesy of 12 Stones' Paul McCoy - which Amy has since said she was forced to add by their label - Bring Me To Life's cobwebby, goth fragility also brought something fresh to nu metal's dick-swinging party, extending the mainstream's flirtation with the genre for a little longer - as of 2019, it's sold more than 3 million copies and has passed more than a billion streams on YouTube and Spotify. The photo caption says: Evanescence: Amy Lee was a breath of fresh air in the genre.
