List Of Songs Like Bring Me to Life

Songs like Bring Me to Life in a list format:

1. Linkin Park – “Numb”

“Numb” is a song by Linkin Park from their second studio album, ‘Meteora,’ released in 2003 under Warner Bros. Records. I chose this song because of its strong emotional undertones and a blend of electronic and rock elements that make it strikingly similar to ‘Bring Me To Life.’ The song’s raw exploration of feeling disconnected and misunderstood resonates just as deeply.

2. Paramore – “Decode”

This is a track from Paramore, titled “Decode.” It’s from the ‘Twilight Original Soundtrack,’ released in 2008 under Summit Entertainment/Chop Shop/Atlantic. The track echoes the hauntingly beautiful vocals and powerful guitars of Evanescence, with lyrics about love and identity. Plus, Hayley Williams’ impressive vocal range is something Amy Lee fans will appreciate.

3. Within Temptation – “Angels”

“Angels,” a song by Within Temptation from their album ‘The Silent Force,’ was released in 2004 under GUN/BMG. This Dutch symphonic rock band’s gothic influences and soaring vocals of Sharon den Adel match well with Evanescence’s vibe. The song’s atmospheric, almost ethereal sound is why it’s on this list.

4. Three Days Grace – “Never Too Late”

“Never Too Late” by Three Days Grace comes from their second album ‘One-X’ released in 2006 under Jive Records. The song features the same kind of powerful, melodic hard rock that Evanescence does. Its uplifting message about not giving up also echoes the emotional depth that ‘Bring Me To Life’ portrays.

5. Nightwish – “Amaranth”

Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish brings us “Amaranth,” from their album ‘Dark Passion Play,’ released in 2007 under Nuclear Blast. Nightwish’s powerful orchestration and Tarja Turunen’s operatic vocals make it a perfect pick for fans of the dynamic sound Evanescence is known for.

6. Flyleaf – “All Around Me”

Flyleaf’s “All Around Me” from their self-titled album, released in 2005 under A&M Octone, channels the same kind of emotional intensity and spiritual exploration that Evanescence is known for. Lacey Sturm’s unique vocal style and the song’s powerful lyrics about divine presence are what make this track a standout.

7. Skillet – “Awake and Alive”

Finally, there’s “Awake and Alive” by Skillet from the album ‘Awake,’ released in 2009 under Atlantic. Skillet, like Evanescence, combines elements of symphonic rock and nu-metal. The song’s energizing message and the contrast between the male and female vocals reflect a very Evanescence-like sound and energy.
