If I could spell out in onomatopoeia form the guitar riff and background vocals to this part, I totally would, because I can hear it clearly in my mind
I wouldn't say definitely based on hits charts: people can be pretty unaware of culturally significant bands quite easily by only using streaming services...
Oh never mind these Evanescence hits are on airplay! Ignore this
Billboard has counted streams for years. Sales, streams, and airplay.
News this year was that Billboard stopped counting YouTube streams because Google was trying to throw their weight around to affect the charts. Which I thought was interesting.
I think that might be a regional nickname for it - it does indeed form salts which are loosened from the inside of the brick/concrete (both have salts in) by water, and then transported to the outside by the same water.
I can't find anything relating saltpeter to the term "evanescence" but I know it forms due to humidity + capillarity in stone/brick walls (I recently moved into a house that has some so I only recently started learning about this) so I guess it is the same thing. The scientific name for it is potassium nitrate
I went to a Within Temptation concert. Evanescence was their low profile opening act. They played their old stuff and some of us millennials got hyped. No one cared when they played new stuff.
The sad truth is that Goth metal is a very niche taste and Evanescence is old news.
Within Temptation is still around? I haven't really listened to them in ages, the last "new" album of theirs I remember was The Heart of Everything, so apparently since 2007.
Now imagine me, a fan of Lacuna Coil, seeing Evanescence and Within Temptation go quasi-mainstream while they stayed in the shadows...
With hindsight I suppose it wasn't that bad since they are still touring and making new albums, but still.
They just released a new album this year which is pretty good. Plus heaps of "the youth" around my way ate wearing limp bizkit, korn and deftones merch, so maybe?
Honestly maybe it's because I'm a horrid autistic Gen Z that didn't really like music until I play NV but even with my modern horrid niche tastes I still don't get why folks like/ liked Evanescence. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go back to listening to Korpiklaani.
Obsessively watched Dream Too Much with baby son. Years later tween son fills house with metal... Including Evanescence. Long con. In fact, if you have a metal newborn, check out Rockabye Baby - artists grownups love across genres in muzac versions for babies.
Hahahaha nobody is metal enough for lemmy. I remember listening to biohazard and Megadeth and even like anthrax or Pantera, and being like, this just isn't heavy enough. Now I can't even listen to early Nirvana without the right mood
They pushed their way into the Christian market but claimed not to be a Christian band, in the Bring me to life/ My Immortal release they managed to get a pretty wide audience. Bring me to life, was pretty unique and haunting at the time.
Coldplay studied this, learned from their mistakes and then mastered the art of claiming to be a christian band while simultaneously claiming to not be a christian band
How could you not know Evanescence? They just dropped some new singles and they sound as good as ever. One of the songs even topped the Billboard Alternative charts. So it's not like they went anywhere.
They were pretty big, saying they’re not a cultural icon … do you by any chance have a penis and align as male?
Cuz … strong powerful recording artist who also is a woman making it mainstream in a genre dominated by men was actually in fact cultural moment and she was an icon.

I lived in England at that time and what my coworkers heard was
WANK ME OFF!

Hilarious to me, especially since it summed up my thoughts on the song.

Is the original joke that Evanescence is actually still popular in rock, so asking makes you look silly?
Evanescence literally had two #1 hits over the past two years.
People who listen to rock music have definitely heard of Evanescence.
