La banda holandesa tira de orquesta y coros reales con puesta en escena a lo bestia, sonido de lujo e imágenes desde cualquier rincón en el Ahoy Arena de Rotterdam. Metal gótico, cuando lo bombástico se hace sublime, lo sencillo bello y la magia algo que se puede tocar y oír. Deja una envidia sana, pues por aquí seguimos de momento sin estar preparados para algo así."
Los holandeses WITHIN TEMPTATION no contarán con su batería Stephen en su próxima gira por teatros. Tal y como ha informado la propia banda, el músico tiene que atender ciertos compromisos familiares, por lo que será sustituido durante este periplo por Mike Coolen (BROTHERHOOD FOUNDATION, DAYBROKE), que ya reemplazó a Stephen en algunos conciertos el año pasado.Tras esta gira, el grupo ha anunciado que parará de tocar una temporada para centrarse en la composición y grabación de su nuevo álbum, además de tomarse tambiíén unas vacaciones y dedicarse a otros proyectos. El guitarrista Ruud Jolie seguirá trabajando con FOR ALL WE KNOW, Stephen Van Haestregt hará lo propio con MY FAVORITE SCAR, y el bajista Jeroen Van Veen comenzará a estudiar diseño en 3D. La más reciente entrega del grupo es el DVD "Black Symphony", grabado en el teatro Ahoy Arena de Rotterdam, Holanda, el 7 de febrero del 2008 junto a la orquesta Metropole y que vio la luz el pasado 22 de septiembre vía Roadrunner Records.
