What genre is Evanescence going under?
According to the sheet music published by Alfred Music Publishing on the website Musicnotes.com, “Going Under” is set in common time and performed in a slow and free tempo of 84 beats per minute. It is written in the key of B minor and Lee’s vocal range for the song runs from the musical note of E3 to D♯5. Associated with the nu-metal genre, the song features several guitars and a drum machine as Lee sings the lines “Fifty thousand tears I’ve cried”.
A writer for The Boston Globe said that the song is “a mix of Lee’s ethereal soprano, piano interludes, and layers of serrated guitar crunch that conjure visions of Sarah McLachlan fronting Godsmack.”
