their drummer, rocky, is a christian and has played guitar in bands such as living sacrifice (thrash/death metal), soul embraced (death metal), and shredded corpse (grindcore, death metal). the song tourniquet is actually a soul embraced song, and was originally a semi-brutal death metal. evanescence used it, and i\'m assuming that\'s why people think they are christian themed. apparently rocky will be less busy with evanescence for a while, since soul embraced has announced a new album. it should be awesome, since he\'s a way better guitarist than he is a drummer... and drumming for a band like evanescence doesn\'t really utilize his full potential as a drummer... he should be playing blasting out insanely fast beats for some metal band. metal drummers are by far the most fun for me to listen to, soo fast.
