Título: Within Temptation
Publicado por: _V_ en Diciembre 06, 2007, 11:22:20 pm
Esta banda holandesa nacida en 1997 combina a la perfección el rock con elementos orquestales. Su cantante Sharon den Adel posee una de las mejores voces de la música actual. A lo largo de los 10 años que llevan en activo han sacado el siguiente material

Enter (1997) Oscuro e inquietante, abundan los teclados y las voces guturales de su guitarrista

Mother Earth (2000) Producción orquestal, arreglos celtas, y un impresionante desplegue vocal por parte de Sharon A destacar temas como Caged Deceiver of fools o Ice Queen

The Silent Force (2004) El album que los catapultó a la fama en España. Mucha gente lo considere muy pop, cosa que yo no comparto en absoluto. Temas destacables See who I am Memories o la excesivamente radiada Stand my ground

The Heart of Everything es su nuevo í lbum a la venta el próximo 12 de marzo El single de adelanto What have you done una colaboracion con un tal Keith Caputo es escandalosamente comercial, pero el resto del disco no parece lo mismo.

Aqui os dejo videos de la banda!

Stand my Ground http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0315rB-ojo

Dear fans,


Unfortunately, I have to inform you that I will not be joining the rest of the band on the tour that starts tonight. During an unfortunate accident, I severely bruised my right thumb, making it impossible for me to play guitar. Of course I'm very disappointed that I can't visit you all as I was really looking forward to it a lot!! The band will be playing with the 5 of them, so they will not be joined by an extra guitar player. I'm confident that you will make up for the difference by screaming even louder than you usually do! I will definitely be back for the (sold out!) Ahoy show in February, hope to see you all there!


All the best,


Robert Westerholt

Black Symphony
We'd like to thank everybody who was at the Ahoy yesterday, during our "Black Symphony"-show. We've been playing for 12 years now and during all those years this was something we always wanted to do. It's certainly a milestone in our career and we're happy that we could share it with so many people. We'd like to thank all our fans, the PA'dam choir, conductor Jules Buckley & The Metropole Orchestra, special guests Keith Caputo & Band, Anneke van Giersbergen, George Oosthoek, our crew and all the people working behind the scenes. As some of you might have noticed, we recorded the whole show for an upcoming DVD, we will keep you updated on this sometime soon.

Touring
We're already gearing up to go to our first Russian show next week in Moscow. We heard that there are still a few tickets available, but not too many. So make sure you get tickets in time!
In other news, we're very excited to announce our first South American tour in April! We've finally found time in our busy schedule to visit the many fans we have in South America. Some dates are already on sale, some will start early next week. Check out our website for all the dates.

See you soon!

All the best,
Robert, Martijn, Ruud, Stephen, Jeroen & Sharon

Parece que Iron Maiden son adictos a Within Temptation y como antaño, han sido elegidos para ser sus teloneros en su show de Londres en el Twickenham Stadium el 5 de julio.

Parece una excelente noticia para WT, en palabras de Sharon, les hace revivir gratos recuerdos; no olvidemos que WT teloneaba a Iron Maiden cuando estaba abriíéndose camino en el mundillo.

Critica!!

Citar
La verdad es que el concierto fue una pasada. Yo creo que lo único que se les puede recriminar sea el setlist, por hacerlo demasiado parecido a al de Eindhoven. Pero bueno...

Instrumentalmente este concierto si que fue la hostia! La Intro  , Jillian, Our Solemn Hour, Mother Earth, The Promise, Memories, The Truth Beneath The Rose, Deceiver of Fools,... bueno todas las canciones sonaron aplastantes con la orquestra. Canciones que cuando las escuchabas en el concierto normal te dejaban un poco de sabor amargo por usar enlatados (Our Solemn Hour, por ejemplo) aquí­ fue acojonante.

Vocalmente Sharon estuvo muy bien en unas, pero en otras pese a sonar bien, lo hizo mejor en Eindhoven. Por ejemplo: Mother Earth *babaaaas* en Rotterdam creo que Sharon sonó acertadí­simia (creo que en las partes donde no es estribillo, donde acostumbra a desafinar un poco debido a los graves, las bordó), The Promise tambiíén sonó genial (aunque tal vez no tanto como el del Mother earth Tour  ), Our Solemn Hour (primera vez que Sharon me convence en esta canción. En los macrofestivales (Pinkpop,...) o en el concierto secreto o de Japón no me gustaba nada su actuación. Muy desafinada. En este concierto creo que lo bordó (y creo que en el de Eindhoven tambiíén lo hizo); Jillian tambiíén sonó muy bien, Frozen y The Swan Song tambiíén... pero en otras canciones como The Other Half *más babaaas*, pese hacerlo bien me gustó más su interpretación vocal en el Eindhoven. No síé... en ese concierto su actuación me recuerda un poco a los antiguos directos de esta canción (que me encantan), en cambio el de Rotterdam suena más cercano al TSFT  . Otra canción que sonó mejor en Eindhoven en cuanto a labor vocal (que no instrumental) fue Deceiver of Fools. En su dí­a tambiíén lo comentíé y es que el de Eindhoven me recuerda más a sus actuaciones viejas (en cuanto lo de poner esa voz malvada) y bordar la actuación con su nuevo registro no operí­stico. Me parece que Memories y Forgiven le pasó lo mismo.

Eso sí­... Somewhere sonó impresionante con Anneke, yo no me lo esperaba pq pensíé que como ya lo hicieron en Eindhoven no lo repetirí­an. Y... What Have You Done fue curioso. Creo que Sharon no estuvo muy acertada en la canción (esta canción no es que se le de precismanete bien.... se le va un poco la voz xDD). A Caputo le apruebo por ponerle ganas xDD (no síé si pq estaba excitado con el show o por el vino que se tomó durante su actuación como telonero). Creo que de George no hace falta comentar mucho. í‰l siempre cumple su papel. Una lástima que sólo fue relegado a una canción

En The Cross Sharon sonó estupenda, en Hand of Sorrow creo que le rascaba un poco la voz, en Angels tmbiíén lo hizo muy bien y en The Truth Beneath The Rose sonó impresionante!

Y ya no síé que más comentar... la puesta en escena estubo muy bien, para que negarlo. El video de la introducción, y los videos utilizados en Eindhoven. La pirotecnia, el humo, los papelitos en Ice Queen, el juego de luces fueron increí­bles. Aunque eso sí­, faltaba la plataforma elevadora de Eindoven pero que como estaba la orquestra seguro que no cabí­a.

Hay una cosa que sí­ que me llamó la atención en los dos conciertos especiales de esta gira y es que les he visto disfrutar más. Mientras que en el TSFT creo que estaban más pendientes de que todo saliera bien (pirotecnia, luces, ....) que de disfrutar el conciert en sí­, en estos casos creo que se olvidaron un poco de lo demás y disfrutaron más de los shows (o esa es la impresión que me dio).

Como curiosidades.... durante el concierto tiraron varios peluches (una rana, dos corazones con brazos y..... al final del concierto........... ...... ........................................... unas BRAGAS rosas! (o eso me pareció). Sharon dijo: Me parece que esto es para Ruud y se las intentó poner en la cabeza xDDD; tambiíén habí­a uno del coro que intentaba controlar el headbanging pero le cosaba un poco y una violinista de la orquestra que hací­a cosas como los cuernos y eso... muy cachonda xDD.

Ah! Y se me olvidaba... Sharon casi se chamusca otra vez!! No calculó bien su posición y cuando salieron los fuegos artificiales se tuvo que apartar al instante y le saltó alguna que otra chispa al vestido... se le quedó una cara... pobrecita.

Muy mal el vestido lechuga de Sharon al final del concierto y el rizado del pelo (aunque hay momentos que le queda un poco bien)! 


Vestido lechuga!

Tan cuidado como siempre el plano escíénico en sus conciertos, Within Temptation volvieron a condecorar el escenario con un enorme telón con imágenes proyectadas de fondo y una interpretación de los temas excelente, además con un sonido digno que no ensombreció para nada una correctisima actuación. El público, jóven en su mayorí­a como decí­a anteriormente, se mostró bastante más activo y entregado con el grupo que en conciertos anteriores, y Within Temptation respondieron con una buena dosis de temas que aunque previsibles, no restaron gracia y espectáculo a su show. Más de una hora y 20 minutos en los que no faltaron "Jillian", "The Howling" y "Stand My Ground", con las que abrieron, o “The Cross”, la preciosa “Forgiven” con el acompañamiento del piano, “Angels”, “Mother Earth” y “Deceiver of Fools” con “Ice Queen”, ambas suponiendo el inevitable bis con el que se cerraba uno de los conciertos mejor ejecutados y mejor respaldados por el público de todo el festival.

Hi all,

We are happy to announce that we were asked to do an extra show in Mexico City on April 6th. This will NOT be an acoustic show as mentioned earlier, but we will be playing different songs than we will at the first show in Mexico City. We are really looking forward to it and hope to see you all there!

Unfortunately we have to inform you that Robert won't be able to go on the South-American tour. The reason is that we haven't been able to find a proper babysitter for the duration of the tour and that we are also unable to take Luna with us on this tour. We have tried until the last moment to find a solution but despite the fact that we always found one in the past, this time we couldn't.

However the rest of the band will make sure you won't miss a thing, 'cause they will play songs that will rock your ass twice as heard and will make sure this first South-American tour will be a memorable one!!!

Just leaves us to say...Embrasos de Roberto y mucho gusto con los primeros conciertos de Within Temptation en Amíérica del Sur!

Jueves 3 de Abril de 2008 - Circo Volador - Mexico D.F

Los holandeses estaban de vuelta en la Ciudad de Míéxico, ahora como parte de la Gira promocional para el nuevo disco "The Heart of everything". Varias fechas se anunciaron en su paso por Míéxico y los Estados de Guadalajara, D.F. Monterrey serí­an los huíéspedes.

La sorpresa de la gira en primer lugar es la ausencia de Robert (Guitarra) quien por motivos personales (aclarados en la página de la banda) dejarí­a el trabajo a cargo del otro guitarrista Ruud Jolie. Pero el mundo del rock dejarí­a de serlo si las sorpresas no vinieran en racimos. Dado el íéxito en la venta de las entradas, dí­as antes de su presentación se confirmó una fecha más en el D.F. ahora en el Hard Rock Live, domingo 6 de abril. La aclaración fue que no serí­a un concierto acústico como ya se planeaba, sino con un set list diferente que encantarí­a al bien enterado público mexicano.

Jueves 3 de abril en la Ciudad de Míéxico, y hay que mencionarlo. El calor agobia cada vez más conforme pasa la primavera. Todos sabemos que entrar a un concierto de metal es entrar a una pequeñita parte de infierno. El calor emanado por (en este caso 1500) los metaleros es sentir la maldad literalmente y a aguantar. Pero no importa. Ya entrados en calor y con la expectativa del concierto se le olvidan a uno los grados centí­grados que aun crujen el pavimento de afuera, y que las hordas infernales hagan los suyo el dí­a que nos toque allá abajo. Pero con una buena banda y unas buenas cervezas.

No lo habí­a notado, pero la nueva reglamentación mexicana sobre fumar en recintos cerrados entraba en vigor por esos dí­as y la apuesta por lugares libres de humo de tabaco ahora ya serí­a real. No fumo y no me molesta que fumen. Pero fue digamos un ambiente diferente un concierto sin humo de cigarro. A las 8:30 p.m. las gargantas de los asistentes se abrieron cuando Sharon y compañí­a aparecieron en el escenario. "Jillian" hizo lo suyo en las emociones oscuras cuando salió por ahí­ del 2004, y ahora vendrí­a a soltar cascadas de coros y un público mexicano que como siempre responde de manera ejemplar. Guapí­sima, no hay otra palabra. Sharon vestida Princesa y gigantesco su carisma animó desde el primer minuto a seguir con ella la letra. "The Howling" y "Frozen" siguieron y para muchos con el coro entre pecho y espalda sabí­an lo próximo en el set list: el single "What have you done" que hizo literalmente estallar el lugar. Buen track del nuevo material que por cierto Keith Caputo participa en la grabación. En vivo la banda tuvo la curiosa idea de samplear su voz y además proyectar su imagen al fondo. Para estas alturas la ausencia de Robert no era tema de conversación, y si bien vení­a grabada su guitarra, la ejecución de los demás músicos y una ecualización memorablemente buena prometí­an la gran noche.

Uno tras otro los temas fueron repasando la discografí­a a partir del "Mother Earth" y los mexicanos seguí­an haciendo y reafirmando que los shows en estas tierras son de lo mejor. "Hand of sorrow" y "Forsaken" súper emotivas, a pesar de la temperatura asfixiante. Luego una de las más significativas con el tema que ya trascendió la moda y ahora es preocupación mundial, los actos bíélicos y su visión en "Our solemn hour" con todo y su intro de W. Churchill, apoyada en todo momento por imágenes proyectadas en la pantalla. Los tracks de la nueva producción fueron de los mejor recibidos como "All I need". Es cierto que la gente de este lado del mundo tiene el beat cardiaco más acelerado y con la euforia en un concierto de metal como íéste, las partes sentimental, melódica y poderosa del metal resultan consecuencias bioquí­micas insospechadas.

"Angels" y "Aquarius" magistrales, y ya se extrañaban tracks del "Mother Earth". Precisamente la canción homónima del disco se encargo a revitalizar los ánimos de la audiencia y coreando hasta el final "Caged" fue otra excusa para aplazar el viaje a rellenar los vasos de cerveza. El gran cierre lo hizo la buení­sima "The thruth beneath the rose" cuyo feeling en composición se presta mucho para desbordar público latino.

Una breve pausa en que la banda fue a dar un respiro tras bambalinas y el escenario aguardaba. Palpitantes las orejas todaví­a hubo quien corrió por otro trago para regresar a tratar de no perder el lugar. Las notas de "Deceiver of fools" atronaron el equipo y pareció que el concierto apenas comenzaba. Gritos, euforia y nuevamente palmas arriba el público estaba como loco. Sharon en ningún momento dio muestras de cansancio, al contrario entregada en todo momento hizo gran noche para los amantes del gíénero que se negaban a dejar espacio entre canción y canción. Terminó la canción y amable dijo unas palabras de agradecimiento sobre la Gira sudamericana. Es un ángel. Entretanto Ruud cambió su guitarra por una electroacústica y junto con el piano comenzaron una de las piezas más grandiosas de la noche: "Never ending story". Cadencia, elegancia y calidad en una sola. Celulares arriba y el recuerdo de escuchar esta canción en vivo y con ese audio insospechadamente bueno se grabaron en los chips y en las neuronas. De lo mejor.

Faltaba una canción para finiquitar el concierto perfecto y los familiarizados con la discografí­a ya sabí­an de que se trataba. "Ice Queen" sonó y que mejor para cerrar el extraordinario concierto. Impresionante el público que coreó de principio a fin la canción y con renovadas ganas.

Buena noche cargada de belleza, emotividad y grandes sentimientos transmitidos por los holandeses. A pesar del ya insoportable calor que se sentí­a, el público apoyó como siempre la primer presentación de la banda. Algunos fans ya prevenidos habí­an hecho el viaje a comprar sus boletos para el show programado el domingo 6. Bien clásico en los verdaderos seguidores de una banda siguiíéndolos a donde se presenten, y cuando la calidad es innegable bien vale la pena. A pesar de la ausencia de una pieza fundamental, la banda supo arreglárselas y ofrecieron un gran espectáculo. Buen concierto!

Touring
We just came back from our South-American tour. 7 years after our last show in Mexico we were excited to return to this continent and visit more countries there as well. We’d like to thank all of our fans in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentine and Brazil for visiting our shows. We had a great time!
For all our European fans, we have some great festivals coming up this summer. Amongst others we’ll be visiting Spain, Switzerland, UK, Germany, Greece, Portugal, Sweden, Czech Republic and Finland. For more detail check out our tour schedule.
And we’ll be doing our first theatre tour this year, which will take place in Holland! Of course you can expect something different from us. We’ll be playing songs in a different version or setting. We can’t reveal anything yet, but they will be very special concerts!

3FM Awards
Great news! We are nominated for 4 Dutch 3FM Awards. The categories are: Best Band, Best Vocalist, Best Rock Artist and Best Live Act.

GETAFE ELECTRIC FESTIVAL - Crónica y fotos del SABADO 31 de Mayo ...

WITHIN TEMPTATION
Citar
La banda tocó con un llenazo absoluto y gran parte del público inmóvil para no perderse más tarde a METALLICA (Cada cual no querí­a perder el sitio ante la gran muchedumbre y la imposibilidad casi total para moverse de un sitio a otro). Eso lo aprovechó Sharon y los suyos, quienes ya habian tocado en nuestro paí­s ante miles de gentes, pero nunca ante más de 50.000 personas.

Siempre que escribo sobre esta banda digo lo mismo: son la perfección y elegancia supremas, y asi fueron en el ELECTRIC, aunque siendo justo diríé que no fue de sus mejores conciertos, aunque lo hicieron notablemente bien. Me gustaron mucho más en Granada, donde realizaron una actuación más redonda y amena.

Sharon una vez más fue la simpatí­a y belleza sobre el escenario. Esta mujer es la gran musa del rock. Su voz angelical, su encanto innato, sus movimientos y carisma hechizaron a todos. Junto a ella, los habituales músicos, con Robert, -su esposo-, al frente como director de orquesta, quien cada vez que tuvo ocasión se dirigió al público en un casi perfecto castellano.

Arrancaron con elegancia y potencia con la fantástica “Jillian”. Sonaron otros temas estupendos como “The Howling”, la canción que la banda incluyó en la banda sonora para el videojuego "The Chronicles of Spellborn", “What Have You Done” con la habitual voz pregrabada y disparada de Keith Caputo, (vuelvo a decir que quedarí­a más natural si sus partes de voz las cantara alguien del grupo).

Notíé a Robert mas agresivo que en anteriores ocasiones, el resto de la banda “como siempre”, y Sharon cantó bien, pero no fue una de sus mejores tardes-noches. La notíé un poco corta de voz en algunos fragmentos, sin dejar de bajar su listón de casi perfección, pero si sufriendo un poco más que de costumbre.

Más temas fueron cayendo... “Our Solemm Hour” me encantó una vez más, así­ como “Stand my Ground”, “Angels”, “Forgiven”, “Hand of Sorrow”, o el más clásico “Deceiver of fools”.

Los momentos en los que el publico respondió más activamente fueron los marcados por dos de sus más populares himnos: “Ice Queen”, que sonó hacia la mitad de la actuación, y el final “Mother Earth”.

Notable actuación ante más de 50.000 personas.

Dear all,
As you may have read on our website we are really proud to announce that after one week after the release of our Black Symphony DVD we reached a dream list of chart positions, containing no less than 11 top-10 positions! You can view the chart list on our website. Of course, we owe all this to you and we want to thank you very much for you support!

Black Symphony Blu-ray disc also out now!
After a delay due to some production problems our Black Symphony Blu-ray has now also been officially released! It’s the perfect way to see and hear this concert. Because the capacity of Blu-ray Discs is a lot bigger compared to DVDs, it can contain more and better video and audiofootage. The resolution is about 6x better compared to DVD. There’s also more space for more audio footage, resulting in the highest possible audio quality on this disc (for the audio-experts amongst you: uncompressed PCM audio). For more great specs on the Blu-ray disc, check our news message.
Black Symphony merchandise
We have put together two new great Black Symphony T-Shirts. A men’s design and girly containing the Black Symphony cover and logo. We have also added the WT lighter. You can now buy this cool shirt exclusively in our webshop. Check it out!

Theatre Tour
To close this year off, after having played over 150 shows in 40 countries, we will be doing a seated tour in Holland and Belgium, where we will be doing songs in an acoustic, more laidback setting. Some shows are already sold out, for others there are still a few tickets available. Check our tour page for more information. Most of these shows will start around 20.00 hrs, so if you are coming from Germany, France or any other country, you will still have enough time to get home at a decent time. If you have problems getting tickets, please let us know and we will help you out.

We hope to see you soon!

All the best,
WT.


Create you own WT video!
As you may know we have put together a website www.blacksymphony.nl where you can download exclusive concert footage of our Black Symphony show in order to create your own Hand of Sorrow video!
We already received over 150 videos and would like to thank you all for your application! We already saw some really great videos. You can still join the competition until 31 October and win a VIP-treatment incl. Meet&Greet at our seated show in Haarlem where you’ll will be flown in from anywhere in the world. The most viewed video will win a Blu-ray player. Plus, your video will be our next official Hand of Sorrow video. Check out Robert’s instruction movie at www.blacksymphony.nl on how to enter the competition and create you own Within Temptation video.

Fanclub Day
On November 2nd our official fanclub The Silent Force will organize the WT Fanclub Day at the 013 Tilburg. We will playing a short acoustic show, sign autographs and much more. Like every year, a lottery will be held where you can win great prizes. If you want to join the Fanclub Day you have to be a member of the The Silent Force. You can become a member of The Silent Force from only 5 euros. Check it out on www.thesilentforce.com. After the fanclub day, there will be a short break, after which we will be soundchecking for an evening show. There are still a few tickets available for that show, so make sure to buy them upfront as they

The Silent Force fanzine
For their fanzine The Silent Force is also looking for reporters who’d like to send in their review about a nice concert, book, CD, movie or game. Have you seen anything new which you want to let us and all other TSF members know? You can send it to them through this link. We also like to know more about you! We have put together an interview to all the fans, form which the best interviews will be placed in the next The Silent Force fanzine. You can check the interview through this link. Those that won’t be placed in the fanzine will be posted on the The Silent Force website. We’re looking forward to your responses!

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.

La viz de Sharon!!

Citar
La voz de Sharon Den Adel corresponde a la de una Soprano ligera y Soprano de coloratura. Se caracteriza por ser muy melódica, con un timbre muy brillante y agudos muy acentuados. Su registro vocal es de 2,6 octavas; canciones como Angels, Jillian, The Swan Song de The Silent Force, The Promise de Mother Earth y The Cross de The Heart Of Everything son ejemplos de su expresión vocal. Está considerada actualmente como una de las mejores voces del metal gótico junto a Simone Simons, Floor Jansen, Tarja Turunen, Vibeke Stene, entre otras. Es una de las mejores cantando en vivo, su voz es casi idíéntica a la de la grabación del estudio. El timbre natural de su voz es algo agudo y posee un gran control del mismo, por lo que le ayuda mucho.


Registro vocal: de DO Sus #4 a un FA Sus #6 (2,6 octavas)

Notas más altas:

"Memories" FA #5.
"The Swan song" FA #5.
"Angels" SOL #5.
"Jillian" SOl #5.
"Dangerous Mind" SOL Sus #5.
"The heart of everything" SOL Sus #5.
"What have you done? [Extended Version]" SOL Sus #5
"The Howling" SOL Sus #5
"Aquarius" LA #5

Great news! We can proudly announce the release of a new live album ‘ An Acoustic Night At The Theatre’! This album contains acoustic live tracks that were recorded during our sold out theatre tour in November 2008. These were very special concerts, as we added an acoustic set to our live show, making our show more intimate. Besides this we used film projections emphasizing the great theatre ambiance.

Es decir, van a sacar un nuevo CD de directos acusticos titulado ‘An Acoustic Night At The Theatre’ ("Una noche acustica en el teatro") grabados durante la gira teatral de Noviembre de 2008.
Dicen que fueron unos conciertos muy especiales, ya que al ser canciones en acustico fueron mas "intimos" y que ademas de ello usaron proyecciones interactuando con el gran ambiente del teatro. (lo que no se es porque cuentan esto ultimo, ya que supuestamente va a ser un CD y no un DVD no??)

Los holandeses WITHIN TEMPTATION sacarán un nuevo CD en directo titulado "An Acoustic Night At The Theatre" el 30 de octubre en Alemania, Austria y Suiza y el 2 de noviembre en el resto de Europa. El CD incluye temas acústicos grabados en directo en la gira por teatros que realizaron el pasado mes de noviembre 2008.

WITHIN TEMPTATION no pudieron contar con su baterí­a Stephen en la citada gira por teatros. Stephen, que tuvo que atender ciertos compromisos familiares, fue sustituido temporalmente por Mike Coolen (BROTHERHOOD FOUNDATION, DAYBROKE), quien ya habí­a reemplazado a Stephen en algunos conciertos el año pasado.

Aunque WITHIN TEMPTATION se tomarán un descanso durante este 2009, seguirán trabajando en material nuevo; el próximo álbum aparecerá en algún momento del 2010.

Mas sobre el álbum!!

Citar
Sólo va a contener 11 canciones (que no es ni un conciertoe entero) y no van a incluir ningún video de ese concierto (que fue grabado en video) ni tampoco del de Eindhoven (que tienen mucho material). Un disco en directo con sólo 11 canciones (pese a que estaran bien) no me atrae mucho...

Por ciero, Robert ha dicho en una entrevisa en la radio que el disco este va a contener 1 CANCIí“N NUEVA (que no será incluí­da en el nuevo disco).

After we had told you that we have a great end of October to release acoustic album entitled "An Acoustic Night At The Theater", we can now announce that it will stand on a new track. This track is titled "Utopia" and will be a duet between Sharon and Chris Jones. About Chris soon more information! The single will also be the song "Restless" as what was recorded during our show in Eindhoven Stock Exchange in 2007. The single will only appear physically in the Benelux on October 23, in the rest of the world will only appear on iTunes. Do you really single in hands, you can already order them soon in our webshop. Of course, we soon heard more about "Utopia", keep an eye on the site for more news!

Greetings, WT!

'UTOPIA', UN AMOR IMPOSIBLE

   El tema cuenta la historia de dos amantes que no pueden estar unidos porque sus sueños no están permitidos en la vida real. "La única manera de estar juntos es que uno de ellos sacrifique su sueño", explica la vocalista. "La utopí­a es un mundo perfecto y la canción trata sobre ese momento en el que cada uno de nosotros tenemos que decidir cómo es la vida que queremos para el futuro", matiza.

   Junto a Utopia, el álbum contiene canciones emblemáticas de Within Temptation como Towards the end, Stand my ground, Caged, All I need, Frozen, Somewhere, The cross, Pale, What have you done, Memories y Forgiven.

   Within Temptation fue fundado en 1996 por Den Adel y Westerholt. La banda se completa con Ruud Jolie (guitarra), Jeroen van Veen (bajo), Martijn Spierenburg (teclados) y Stephen van Haestregt (baterí­a). El grupo holandíés, que ha sido capaz de mezclar el metal sinfónico con influencias del rock gótico, publicó su primer álbum, Enter, en 1997, para continuar con Mother Earth en 2001 y The silent force en 2004, que significó un íéxito mundial con la canción Stand my ground.

   El grupo tambiíén editó The silent force tour, un doble DVD+CD grabado en directo en 2005 en Holanda, Finlandia y Bíélgica. Tras su álbum de estudio The heart Of everything (2007) y el DVD Black symphony, ahora llega An acoustic night at the theatre.

After that, we will prepare ourselves for the new album, new show, etc. The exact release date is October 30th in some countries and 2 days later in some other countries. We will post an exact overview on that at a later date. Of course you want to know what's going to be on there, well here you go:

1. Towards The End
2. Stand My Ground
3. Caged
4. All I Need
5. Frozen
6. Somewhere (feat. Anneke van Giersbergen)
7. The Cross
8. Pale
9. What Have You Done (feat. Keith Caputo)
10. Memories
11. Forgiven
12. Utopia (feat. Chris Jones)

Of course you will be able to preorder the album through our webshop! We will also be releasing a video trailer shortly and will be recording a brand new video this weekend for our single Utopia! Keep an eye on Twitter for a live update on that!!

Ya esta oficialmente anunciado el tracklist del disco y la portada. En la noticia nos vuelven a explicar que en Abril del año que viene repitiran la gira teatral por ultima vez, y que tras ello se prepararan para el nuevo disco, nuevas actuaciones, etc.

Y finalmente nos dicen que podremos encargar el album a traves de la pagina oficial, y que estan editando un video a modo de trailer para el nuevo album y que este fin de semana han estado grabando (y creo que aun siguen) un nuevo videoclip para el single Utopia

 Letra Utopia

Citar

It shines in the dark
And it grows within me
Youre holding my hand but you dont understand
So where I am going, you wont be in the end

Im dreaming in colors
Of getting the chance
Of dreaming of trying the perfect romance

The search of the door, to open your mind
In search of the cure of mankind
Help us were drowning
So close up inside

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
Why does it have to kill the idea of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?
Im searching for Answers
your hurting inside, is there life within me?

Youre holding my hand but you dont understand
So youre taking the road all alone in the end
Im dreaming in colors, no boundaries are there

Im dreaming the dream, and Ill sing to share
In search of the door, to open your mind
In search of the cure of mankind
Help us were drowning
So close up inside

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia
Why does it have to kill the idea of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain, down on utopia?
And when the lights die down, telling us who we are

-El primero y más importante (por el momento) es que DANIEL GIBSON NO PARTICIPARí EN ESTE LANZAMIENTO. El nuevo disco será producido por ellos mismos (como el Mother Earth y Enter).   

- Parece ser que la fecha de salida será en Octubre del 2010.

- Será un álbum conceptual.

'We want to do something different, that will surprise and maybe even shock our fans.
There is a need of change, and we are working on it
We want to change our sound and go back to our roots, which does not mean that Robert’s part is coming back.(She even says it will never return).
It will be sounding like the late ’80’s, early ‘90’s . We are going forwards the sound of The Cure or even Nine Inch Nails. '


...Sharon den Adel nos comenta que el nuevo disco será totalmente diferente, las personas quedarán en shock con las nuevas canciones, cambiaran su sonido e irán un poco más lejos, a sus raí­ces, pero eso si, se aclara que no habrán guturales.

Este nuevo sonido será inspirado en algunas bandas de finales de los 80’s o comienzos de los 90’s, como The Cure o Nine Inch Nails, y no habrá orquestación

Hi everyone,

We have seen a couple of nice homemade 'Utopia' videoclips on Youtube where you guys perform the song in your own version. This is cool and we thought it would be great to make WT Christmas compilation of that. We like to encourage you to do more 'Utopia' videoclips and we’ll be selecting the best ones for the compilation video which can be used as a great Christmas video.

To make it easier we’ll provide you an 'Utopia' instrumental track download here. You can film and record your performance (singing, playing an instrument etc.) to the instrumental track or you can of course do it totally your own way. If you want to join in, you should upload your video on Youtube until Dec 16th at the very latest. We will then look for the best clips and make a collage plus the WT Christmas greetings. The Christmas video will have its premiere by the end of next week on the official WT Youtube channel and you’ll find out if your performance is featured.

In order for us to find your performance clip it is very important to stick to the following procedure: Once you have uploaded your clip to your Youtube channel you have to send us the link by replying on Twitter to '@wtofficial', with the reference '#utopia'. We are looking forward to receive many videos until Dec 16th, showcasing your talents as performer.

See you soon!
WT

Queridos Amigos,

Con profundo pesar les informamos que el próximo Concierto por Chile ha sido cancelado. Estas dos ultimas semanas estuvimos trabajando a contra reloj para hacer esto posible. Tení­amos algunos de los nombres mas populares en la música de Holanda apoyando este concierto a beneficio. Sin embargo la preventa de entradas no fue siquiera cercana a lo que esperábamos para el concierto.
Hoy tuvimos que tirar la toalla; a pesar del masivo apoyo de la gente de Melkweg y todos los artistas y el equipo. Recibí­ una impresionante cantidad de mensajes conmovedores de la gente Chilena: Gracias a todos.
No se pueden imaginar lo triste que estoy en este momento. Todos los beneficios de mi nuevo simple igualmente van a ser destinados a ayudar a Chile. Gracias por comprender, cuí­dense y espero verlos pronto.

Con mucho amor,

GOODBYE


We are sorry to announce that Stephen and Within Temptation will go their separate ways after the upcoming theatre tour. It isn't easy to say goodbye after all we've been through together. In this period of time many dreams have become reality for all of us and exceeded our highest expectations. Through the good and bad it has created a bond; we've had a wedding, a funeral and have seen each others kids being born and growing-up. Everything passed in a flash and we are looking back on it with a smile.
 
We would like to thank him and Veroniek for all the great moments, passion and devotion. We wish you the best for the future! You can still see Stephen on stage with the upcoming theatre tour and in the future with his band 'My Favorite Scar'. If you are curious check their site www.myfavoritescar.com or their Myspace site.

Dear all,  This may come as a surprise, but after ten great years the time has come for me and Within Temptation to go our separate ways.   


WT was an unstoppable train. I remember well the time that I got involved with WT as a Studio Technician. Mother Earth marked the beginning of a successful era. I couldn't have imagined that I would be their drummer in two years time. WT developed from an underground band to Holland's best selling musical export product. A childhood dream came true: I toured over 40 countries, shared the same stage with heroes like Iron Maiden, Metallica and Rammstein and performed in a sold out Ahoy with the Metropole Orchestra. In short, it's been an incredible time. The things we experienced will stay with me forever.


But on April 29 in Antwerp, Belgium, I'll be on stage with WT for the last time.


From the start of our sabbatical year (end of 2008) I started producing, recording and mixing other bands again. I found a great working spot at the Swamp Studio in Raamsdonk (NL). Very close to where I live, so I can spend more time with my family.  As a musician, you have not seen the last of me though! On the contrary. As some of you may have read in our fan magazine a while ago,  I have been involved with another project for quite a while now, "My Favorite Scar". In this band I feel right at home, musically as well as personally. I believe this band is at the beginning of a bright future, yet all depends on the support of the fans, as always. Hopefully you'll love and support My Favorite Scar as much as you do Within Temptation! 
In July 2010 My Favorite Scar will release its debut album. In March 2010 we will release our first single "Waste", as a free download and we'll be starting a Dutch tour in March too. We will be playing as many Dutch and foreign shows as we possibly can. Hopefully I'll see you guys again somewhere at a festival or a clubshow! 


I've always found it hard to say goodbye and this time it's no different. I've enjoyed a great time with our crew and the band. So thanks to Debbie, Pim, Guus, Bennie, Arwin, Marco, Rob, Guido, Rene, Paul and all other crew members who worked with us in the past, Raymond, Martijn, Iris and everyone at AT, Sharon, Robert, Jeroen, Ruud and my roommate Martijn and last but not least, the fans all over the world. Thank you all for an unforgettable time. Hopefully our paths will cross again soon. 


Horns up!

Hi all;=)

I hope you have a great day like I have had;=)

Tonight I am going to the studio again for the project I am working on. This is a project with two songwriters, Fredrik Bergh (Street talk, Bloodbound) and Martijn Spierenburg (Within Temptation). Great guys and songwriters and its an honour for me to record their songs;=)

What we will do with this project I will tell you more about as soon as I can of course;=)

The song I am doing at the moment is really fun to sing and tonight I will do the harmonies for it.

Enjoy the evening

At the show in Antwerp, Stephen was speeching about a WT-revival band, and he dropped something about a baby that is on its way, and asked Martijn if he was allowed to tell the audience about the news, and Martijn gave him permission, so except the sad news about Stephen leaving WT, there's very good news about a new WT member, because Martijn will become a father

THRESHOLD keyboard player Richard West has enlisted the services of guitarist Ruud Jolie of WITHIN TEMPTATION and drummer Mark Zonder of FATES WARNING for the recording of a new currently unnamed project fronted by vocalist Farrah West.

The project was first planned in 2002 when Farrah and Richard moved from their U.K. home to the Czech Republic to find time and space to record their debut album, with guest musicians including guitarist Tore í˜stby (ARK, CONCEPTION). However, the project stalled and Richard West spent the following years concentrating on progressive metal band THRESHOLD, clocking up European chart success with two albums and scoring a motion picture soundtrack slot for his song "Pilot In The Sky Of Dreams".

In 2009, Farrah and Richard started to focus once again on the project, co-writing a new album of songs and enlisting the services of Zonder and Jolie for the recordings.

The album is currently in the final stages of production, with an expected release later this year.

El teclista de THRESHOLD Richard West ha reclutado al guitarrista Ruud Jolie (WITHIN TEMPTATION) y al baterí­a Mark Zonder (FATES WARNING, WARLORD) para la creación de un nuevo proyecto aún sin nombre que se completa con la cantante Farrah West.

El proyecto fue creado originalmente en el 2002 cuando Farrah y Richard se trasladaron desde el Reino Unido hasta a República Checa, en donde encontraron tiempo y sitio para grabar el disco junto al guitarrista Tore í˜stby (ARK, CONCEPTION) entre otros invitados. No obstante, la cosa no salió adelante y West decidió centrarse en THRESHOLD.

El álbum, que comenzaron a grabar el pasado 2009, deberí­a salir en algún momento del presente año.

Since a while Ruud Jolie has been occupying himself with his soloproject called “For All We Know” for which the recordings are almost done. He got help among others from Líéo Margarit (Pain of Salvation) on drums, Kristoffer Gildenlí¶w (Dial, ex-Pain of Salvation) on bass and the very diverse singer Wudstik. You'll also find some guests like the guitarists John Wesley (liveguitarist Porcupine Tree) and Richie Faulkner (Lauren Harris) and the singers Damian Wilson (Threshold), Daniel Gildenlí¶w (Pain of Salvation) and Sharon on the album. Mixing will take place this summer. Hopefully it will be released sometime later this year. Checkout his website (www.ruudjolie.com) and twitter (www.twitter.com/ruudjolie) for regular updates!

La banda holandesa Within Temptation, que ha vendido casi 3.000.000 de álbumes en todo el mundo, comenzará su gira europea en febrero de 2010. En nuestro paí­s los tendremos el 24 de marzo en Barcelona (Sala Razzmataz) y el 25 en Madrid (La Rivera).


Actualmente Within Temptation está grabando su sexto álbum de estudio que saldrá a la venta a principios de año. La nueva gira de Within Temptation comenzará el 25 de febrero de 2011 en Heerhugowaard (Holanda) para finalizar el 2 de abril en Kerkrade (Holanda).

A lo largo de esta gira Within Temptation pasará tambiíén por Amsterdam, Groningen, Estocolmo, Oslo, Copenhague, Hamburgo, Berlí­n, Varsovia, Dresde, Viena, Munich, Zurich, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Parí­s, Colonia, Londres y Bruselas.

Los holandeses no paran de recibir buenas noticias. Con el último disco, The Heart of Everything, alcanzaron el Top 5 en las listas europeas e incluso el nº1 en algunas de Estados Unidos. Además durante la gira de presentación tuvieron que colgar el "No hay entradas" en las taquillas de 43 paí­ses.

Este íéxito taquillero tambiíén ha sido galardonado. Y es que Within Temptation ganó el premio a la Exportación de Música Holandesa por tercera vez consecutiva y dos MTV Europe Video Awards.   

Además el grupo hace sus propias composiciones. Sharon den Adel, la cantante, escribió el single In And Out Of Love junto al DJ nº1 Armin van Buuren. Este videoclip ha recibido más de 60.000.000 de visitas en YouTube. Teniendo en cuenta estas cifras, sus fans europeos seguro festejarán el 2011.

Ronald has approached us because he really liked our music and he wanted to use it for his fashion show.
He asked if I wanted to open the show and that's a huge honor for me.
He is a huge name in fashion and because he makes such beautiful clothes, It’s just a dream to wear something he has designed , Like I also do tonight.
It is a very nice man, very warm, a warm personality. It is really fun to work together

Los asistentes han podido escuchar 3 canciones nuevas en el evento.

Lo "malo" es que no vamos a poder tener acceso a ningún tipo de ví­deo ni nada por el estilo con dicha "actuación", ya que las han mostrado como grabaciones que se podí­an escuchar a travíés de unos auriculares (quíé pillos!).

De momento, he podido leer dos comentarios distintos.
Uno decí­a que sonaba más a pop que a metal, o al menos algo más pop que los primeros discos.
Otro, y cito textualmente, que "una de las canciones tení­a un toque a lo Nightwish del Once y las otras dos eran más en plan power metal dirigido más por guitarras que por elementos sinfónicos".

Ahora hay quien dice q no fueron 3 canciones, sino cuatro. Y de ellas se dice lo siguiente:

-Las 3 primeras se parecí­an un poco a THOE (otra opinión decí­a q eran algo como Final Destination y The Cross :S).
Apuntaban tambiíén que tení­a guitarras más duras que las de THOE.

-La tercera canción tení­a un solo de guitarra impresionante, según dicen.

-La cuarta canción empezaba con una orquesta grandiosa, recordando un poco a los tiempos del Mother Earth. El estribillo sonaba parecido a "in the middle of the night".
The 4th song started with a bombastic orchestra, a bit as on Mother Earth, and it sounded very cool as well! I don't know the titles, but from one of the songs the chorus started with 'In the middle of the night'.

Otra opinón dice que en las 3 primeras canciones, Sharon cantaba utilizando notas graves.

A personal update from Martijn.
As a musician, I often get specific questions from fellow-musicians on my instruments and sound. Sometimes these conversations end up in a kind of nerd-talk about tiny details, but we love it.

This summer, I’ve been contacted by the guitarplayer of LEFT, who wanted help in composing, arranging and producing songs.  As I like to work with young and creative musicians, we jumped into my studio to elaborate his ideas into songs.

We’re now 4 months working together and we’ve created lots of songs, but also thrown away even more. But it’s very inspiring to work on a different genre and type of songs; it opens my mind and widen my view on melody, vocals, structures and sound

We’re really excited to be able to finally announce the title of our new album.

Recently we’ve started giving clues on the website about our concept album. As you might have noticed our concept album is going to be based on a comic book series, written by Steven O’Connell (BloodRayne & Dark 48). We’ve asked comic artist Romano Molenaar (Witchblade, Darkness and X-men) to draw the characters and scenery.

The new album and comic will be titled: “The Unforgiving”.

On this album, we’ve taken a totally different approach. Each song on “The Unforgiving” was written along Steven’s narrative. The main characters of the comic are reflecting the characters of our songs. The concept pushed us and gave  inspiration to come up with a new approach in our sound. It resulted in writing our best songs so far.

We have been big comic fans since our childhood. With this album we felt the time was there to take a new step in our creative development, take it further and broaden our horizon. Next to the concept form of the album, the songs are more divers than ever before. In addition, the music of the late 80ies, that’s when we started to read comic books, certainly has left a mark on our new sound.

The album is set for release in March 2011, but our loyal visitors knew this already 

In our first WT TV update we’ll be telling more about the new concept album and comic. So check back with us soon for our first WT TV update

Hello everyone,

As we are all gearing up for the release of our new album I have news which might come as a surprise:Robert and I are expecting a child. To be honest, this was not planned at all, but we're very happy about it as we experience our kids as an enrichment of our lives.

I'm happy to tell you that the release of our new album will not change: March 2011! The recordings for the album are completed and the songs are being mixed right now, all preparations for the release are in full swing, so there is no reason to put things on hold.

However, we couldn't avoid rescheduling our tour as it will be impossible for me to deliver a great show for you while being in the final months of my pregnancy. Also due to the complications during the previous pregnancies it is dangerous for our baby and for me to be very active in these final months.

The tour dates have already been re-scheduled to the fall of 2011. The tickets you have bought will remain valid for the new dates which can be found on this page. We understand that the re-scheduling of our tour is a blow for you and we can only sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused as we very much appreciate the fact that so many of you have bought tickets for the shows early on.

We hope for your understanding and support and we'll do everything to make the up-coming tour the best you've ever seen from us yet!

All the best from Sharon & Within Temptation

The recordings for the album are completed and the songs are being mixed right now, all preparations for the release are in full swing, so there is no reason to put things on hold.

However, we couldn't avoid rescheduling our tour as it will be impossible for me to deliver a great show for you while being in the final months of my  pregnancy. Also due to the complications during the previous pregnancies it is dangerous for our baby and for me to be very active in these final months.

The tour dates have already been rescheduled to the fall of 2011. The tickets you have bought will remain valid for the new dates which can be found on this page. Please note that we were now able to add new dates to this tour, including additional shows in the UK, Germany, France, Poland, Holland (incl. the annual Fanclub Day) and Sweden and new dates in Portugal and the Czech Republic! All these shows are now on sale.

On Wednesday December 15th at 11 AM CET we'll reveal the first song of "The Unforgiving".

Along with the launch of the new song "Where Is The Edge", fans registered on Facebook have the unique opportunity to secure a personal credit in the special edition of the new album!

The new song will be launched with a video featuring exclusive preview scenes of the upcoming movie "Me & Mr Jones", directed by Paul Ruven, a Dutch filmmaker who received an Oscar for best foreign student movie. The movie is a thriller inspired by the disappearance of Natalee Holloway on Aruba.

"Where Is The Edge" is based on the story of "The Unforgiving". There is a clear link between the storyline of our new concept album and the thriller "Me and Mr Jones" as they both deal with mystery, murder, guilt and a lack of forgiveness."

Together with this brand new song we're starting a very cool item on our Facebook page. Through a Facebook plug-in, you can share the video of "Where Is The Edge" on your Facebook profile and we register your name to be included in the packaging of the special edition of "The Unforgiving"!

Make sure you like our fan page so you can use this plug-in on Wednesday. We'll upload more technical information about this plug-in then as well, so stay tuned!

2 more nights until "Where Is The Edge"....!

Letra!!

Citar
In this shadow awaits the desire
Which you know that you can't realize
And the pressure will just keep on rising
not at his own

It's too late there is no way around it
You have seen it yourself many times
In the end you will give up the fighting
Inescapable

Cause you're losing your mind
and you're sleeping with wide open eyes

Where is the edge of your darkest emotions?
Why does it all survive x2
Where is the line of your deepest devotion?
Pray that it's still alive

It's the rule that you live by and die for
it's the one thing you cannot deny
even though you don't know what the prize is
It is justified

So each morning you've got not to fight for
But is still doesn't change who you are
There is no feel you'll ever get into
You're untouchable

Cause you're losing your mind
and you're sleeping with wide open eyes

Where is the edge of your darkest emotions?
Why does it all survive x2
Where is the line of your deepest devotion?
Pray that it's still alive

You can't stop yourself
Don't want to feel
Don't want to see what you've become
You can't walk away from who you are
Never get back

Where is the edge of your darkest emotions?
Why does it all survive x2
Where is the line of your deepest devotion?
Pray that it's still alive

Obviously the discussions about the new album have really been set on fire by ‘Where is the Edge’.
But for the people who liked it, we’re afraid that it’s really not revealing much of what’s to come… From the moment we started writing this album we felt it was time for change, to take a bigger step in our musical development then we’ve done with the last two albums.

But instead of getting inspiration from unknown territories we’ve found them in our musical roots ,the metal, rock and even pop-hits of the late 80′s beginning 90′s. Now we can tell you about the new songs but the only way to explain it and for you to judge it, is to hear it.

A fact is that “The Unforgiving” is the album with the most diversity between the songs then ever before. Containing the heaviest riffs we’ve ever played, lots of uptempo moments, guitar-solo’s, but at the same time also some of the most catchy stuff ever. We definitely didn’t want to say goodbye to the filmic orchestral material, but there are more reasons for that…

We really can’t wait to release this album as it belongs in your hands, but unfortunately we all need to wait until the end of March.

Now here’s the good news: to endure the waiting, soon we’ll release ‘”The  Unforgiving Video-Trailer” containing parts of different songs, the music video’s and… (more about this 3rd ingredient laterrr).

We have to go back to work to finish everything ASAP and hereby also a pic of work in progress.

Stay tuned  , Sharon

Los metaleros sinfónicos holandeses dan un enigmático giro a su nuevo álbum, y no es solamente como parte del concepto del disco, sino en su música.

Al sexteto holandíés le ha tomado bastante tiempo y esfuerzo realizar las letras para la música de su quinto álbum de estudio, el cual verá la luz a finales de Marzo. Within Temptation pueden parecer los tí­picos europeos continentales, y mientras son rimbombantes, nadie podrí­a describir su música como “peligrosa”.

Pero detrás de las sonrisas de seis gatos relajados está una banda que no tiene ninguna intención de dormirse en sus envidiables laureles, que no muestran temor cuando se trata de retar a sus fans, y no tienen la intención de complacerlos.

Metal Hammer habló con la encantadora ‘frontwoman’, Sharon den Adel, su voz de ave cantora de sirena angelical mientras ella explicaba con franqueza y sinceridad que la agrupación estaba dispuesta a tomar potencialmente riesgos perjudiciales a su carrera si eso significaba empujar la banda hacia el futuro.

“Nosotros dijimos, ‘Hemos hecho todo lo que podemos dentro de nuestro propio gíénero’,” ella dice. “Así­ que el movimiento se sintió muy natural. Este es un gran paso en una dirección diferente para nosotros. Nos encanta todo lo que hemos hecho, pero no somos una banda que quiere repetirse.

Hemos dejado completamente ciertas cosas atrás, como las canciones a medio tiempo. Probablemente habrá un montón de fans que lo odien, pero esperamos que a más les encante, pero realmente necesitábamos hacer algo nuevo.”

Pero no se preocupen mucho: la misma Sharon nos dijo que el disco es todaví­a “muy Within Temptation”, así­ que no esperen algún álbum hardcore punk’n'roll, o un paso mortal en el progresivo…


“La melancolí­a ahí­ sigue aún,” ella explica. “La orquesta ahí­ sigue, y la música es todaví­a pegadiza. Querí­amos hacerla más untempo, más pesada y oscura. The Heart of Everything fue como la culminación de todo lo que aprendimos en el pasado, así­ que supimos que no podí­amos hacer eso de nuevo.

Apenas y hay canciones a medio tiempo. De hecho, tenemos muchas influencias de los 80s en este álbum… como Chris Isaac. Tambiíén tenemos una canción muy al estilo de Iron Maiden. Tiene ese galope de Iron Maiden en ella, se llama Iron por el momento, ¡ja ja!

No es que estemos tratando de ser ellos, sino es como un homenaje. Ellos son, por supuesto, una de nuestras inspiraciones. Algunos temas son más pesados, otros son más ligeros, pero todo es definitivamente más rápido. Hay un montón de sentimiento juvenil en este álbum.”

¿Es nostalgia por la música lo que te ha inspirado?

“Sí­, quizá es así­ como debiera llamarse el álbum, ¡ja ja! Va un poquito más alejado de lo que hemos hecho. Quizá sea un poquito más como Mother Earth [2000]. Es muy melódico… es extremadamente melódico. Sí­, somos una banda melódica, pero no creo que uno pueda tener algo más melódico que esto.”

¿Y quíé nos dices de las letras?

Sharon explica que “Están basadas en una historia, una historia real, pero nosotros hemos desarrollado la historia y las letras en un cómic, una novela gráfica. No puedo contarte todo porque hay todaví­a un poco de secretismo que rodea a lo que será.”

Sharon no contará mas al respecto, pero como The Unforgiving saldrá a finales de Marzo de 2011 parece que todaví­a tenemos tiempo para esperar más respuestas…

Symphonic Metal New superlatives with its fourth studio album, "The Unforgiving" WITHIN TEMPTATION beyond all boundaries and set themselves an innovative monument! Based on the story of a gloomy end comics, they follow a creative, conceptual path. The protagonists of the comics reflect the characters in the songs, giving them a virtuoso robe, make them tangible and spark a captivating intensity. The opener 'A Shot In The Dark' bangs as catchy rock number dynamically forward, and 'In The Middle Of The Night' dashing directly go and sprayed glorious 80's feel, while 'Faster' and 'Iron' with such a violent, brutal riffs knocked out that the only way into trouble! Front lady Sharon uses the impressive range of her voice, sings soprano rare, but demonstrated their rock voice completely. Similarly, the epic opulent numbers at the start, as shown by 'A Demon's Fate' or 'Where Is The Edge' with symphonic bombast and majestic choruses, but also a new page, as the sinister 'Murder', which by the psychedelic song Sharon's surprise. Probably the most varied, exciting and metalwork in the history of the Dutch, the attractions of the whole line.

Faster and Faster and Faster”…. the lyrics of Within Temptation’s new single set the pace for the exciting weeks to come.

The energetic and adrenalin boasting song  will receive its Worldwide Premiere on Guardian Media Group’s ‘Rock Radio’ network in the United Kingdom on Friday January 21st at 9am GMT / 10am CET.  Fans worldwide can tune in online to hear the single at www.rockradio.co.uk (those in Manchester can tune in at 106.1 FM and Scotland 96.3FM).

Robert:  “Faster” is a song which surprised ourselves. It’s a very fresh new sound wrapped around the 80′ties heart and soul of the track. “Faster” reflects one of the many musical roots we have. Combined with the modern influences on our new album, it’s like the past and future created the present.”

The next milestone in our journey leading to  ”The Unforgiving” album release will be the world premiere of one of the movies featured in “The Unforgiving” film trailer. Mark the 31st of  January in your calendar, this is the day the door to “The Unforgiving” will open

La Letra!!

Citar
I can't sleep because its burning deep inside
Like gasoline on a fire running wild
No more fear cause I'm getting closer now
So unreal but I like it anyhow

I go faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster

And I can't live in a fairytale of lies
And I can't hide from the feeling cause it's right
And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for life
I can't live in a fairytale of lies

I can feel that you mesmerize my heart
I Feel so free I'm alive I'm breaking out
I Won't give in, 'cause I'm proud of all my scars
And I can see I've been wasting to much time

I go faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster

And I can't live in a fairytale of lies
And I can't hide from the feeling cause it's right
And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for life
I can't live in a fairytale of lies


And I can't live in a fairytale of lies
And I can't hide from the feeling cause it's right
And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for life
And I can't live in a fairytale of lies
A fairytale of lies

Sobre el cómic

Citar
El cómic no saldrá junto al disco. Cada dos meses saldrá un episodio nuevo, en total hay 6. La historia es un todo que hay que construir (mejor dicho, coleccionar) con el disco, los 6 capí­tulos del cómic y los videos. Los videos supongo que saldrán en el DVD de la edición especial del disco, que ya se puede reservar en algunas tiendas.

Thank you guys for all your great comments on “Faster”, we really appreciate your feedback!

There is a lot more to this song than what you know so far and shortly the story unfolds.

5pm CET, January 31 we will reveal the first of 3 short films on the website and our Facebook page.

These movies give further insight into the concept of our fifth studio album “The Unforgiving” and are based on the comic storyline; the characters are impersonated by actors. Each film is followed by a band performance that, all together, form a dark and compelling tale of life, love, revenge, rage, and regret.

The first movie, titled “Mother Maiden”, ties in with our first single & video for ‘Faster’, introducing the main characters of the narrative. British actress Dawn Mastin (Tom & Thomas, Down) performs the lead role.

All of our fans who share the “Mother Maiden” short film via their social network on Facebook or Twitter using a “pay-with-a-tweet” application, supplied on our various sites, will not only receive a brand new Within Temptation wallpaper in return but have exclusive access to an online listening party for the album pre-release

Ellos se conocieron hace 14 años, cuando ambos tení­an 18, y Sharon den Adel estaba cantando en un concierto en la iglesia local – “No porque yo fuera particularmente religiosa”, dice, “Sino porque allí­ era donde se realizaban los conciertos”. No fue amor a primera vista.

“Pensíé que íél era un imbíécil,” dice.” El tenia el cabello largo y trataba de parecerse a Kurt Cobain. Se acerco a mí­ y me empezó a decir que lo estaba haciendo todo mal. El ya tocaba en una banda y creí­a que se las sabia todas.”

“Creo que lo que en realidad paso es que el se sentí­a atraí­do por mi”, dice con un brillo en los ojos. “Pero era muy tí­mido como para confesármelo.”

“Simplemente tu no estabas acostumbrada a la critica profesional”, Westerholt responde en el acto.

Con el pasar de los meses lo superaron, y, como den Adel recuerda, se enamoraron en una fiesta.

“Le di a Robert una rosa falsa (de plástico) y el me dio una de regreso” se acuerda. “En realidad, tuve que tomar yo la iniciativa – no al contrario, como a íél le gusta contar. A pesar de todo, encontríé al hombre que es el amor de mi vida, y 14 años despuíés, todaví­a es mí­o”

Andaban juntos a la escuela, Sharon den Adel balanceándose en la en la parte de atrás de la motocicleta de Westerholt mientras soñaban en hacer música juntos. Practicaban en un viejo local de ensayos para músicos, el dueño, un fanático de la música country, les guardaba los instrumentos en su garage.

Westerholt dice que habí­a una gran afluencia de seguidores del death metal en el área, aunque íél estaba escuchando y tomando inspiración de la banda Británica de Doom Metal Paradise Lost.


Su primer espectáculo – ahora hace mas de 10 años atrás – fue calle abajo, en Boskoop en un pequeño local llamado The Tunnel.

“Vinieron 4 personas y los conocí­amos a todos” Westerholt sonrí­e “Aun así­ estábamos nerviosí­simos”

“Nosotros no encajábamos en la escena musical local” dice den Adel “í‰ramos los raros; nadie sabí­a que hacer con nosotros. Creo que en realidad eso realmente nos ayudo”

Así­ fue. Significo que se destacaron de la multitud, su íépico, metal gótico atrajo la atención de la disquera Holandesa DSFA (Doesn’t Stand for Anything). Su alineación –ocasionalmente fluida ya que miembros entraban y salí­an – finalmente se estableció con den Adel y Westerholt, el guitarrista Ruud Jolie, el bajista Jeroen van Veen, el tecladista Martjin Spierenburg y el baterista Stephen van Haestregt, y en solo dos años publicaron dos discos que gradualmente fueron atrayendo la atención del publico Holandíés, mientras ellos continuaban con sus trabajos diurnos.

Entonces hicieron una cosa curiosa, justo cuando se estaban volviendo famosos-se detuvieron. Renunciaron a todo por un año para así­ poder terminar sus carreras universitarias, para así­ â€œTener un respaldo en caso de que todo saliera mal.” Den Adel estaba desesperada por estudiar diseño de Modas, pero en lugar de eso se vio atraí­da hacia gerencia y producción de modas. Westerholt, quien estaba trabajando en Recursos Humanos y con intenciones de empezar una compañí­a de internet mientras su banda salto a la fama, regreso a la universidad a estudiar economí­a.

“Tomamos un periodo sabático de la banda” dice Westerholt “Simplemente querí­amos estar seguros de que tení­amos algo a lo que volver en caso de que lo de la música saliera mal”

Esto es algo que no se dice frecuentemente sobre una banda pero Within Temptation es formada de un grupo de gente evidentemente sensata. Eso se nota allí­ en el sobrio Saloon que conducen, en vez de los carros deportivos que prefieren la mayorí­a de la estrellas de rock, o en la forma en que indican los lugares históricos de la localidad que pasamos conduciendo, en vez de los lugares y clubes en los que solí­an emborracharse cuando niños. Pero seguramente todo esto es algo muy prudente,¿ algo planeado?

“El hecho es que no venimos de un paí­s que apoya a las bandas” dice den Adel “Algunas bandas tienen íéxito fuera de Holanda pero tienes que trabajar muy duro y por un largo tiempo para poder lograrlo. Holanda nunca será como Inglaterra donde las bandas obtienen mucho más apoyo. Lo que significo que necesitábamos tener ese “algo mas” porque; dado lo que les sucede a la mayorí­a de bandas Holandesas, habí­a una alta posibilidad de que no lo lograrí­amos no importaba lo buenos que fuíéramos. Por eso mantuvimos por tanto tiempo nuestros trabajos despuíés de que empezó la banda.”

Pero es algo más profundo que eso. Within Temptation lo dejo muy claro, tantas veces como fue posible, que no querí­an entrar en la música por dinero. La razón por la que mantuvieron sus trabajos o siguieron estudiando, era para que no tener que ver la música como una carrera, para no tener que depender nunca en la música para tener la seguridad de un techo. Esto, dice Westerholt, es importante si quieres estar seguro que estas tocando por las razones correctas, si deseas mantener la integridad y honestidad de la música.

“No querí­amos tener que hacer música por dinero” el admite “No querí­amos que la música fuera lo que pusiera comida en nuestras mesas. Querí­amos tener independencia de eso. Cuando renunciamos a nuestros trabajos para convertirnos en una banda profesional sabí­amos que no tení­amos que hacer concesiones en nuestra música porque, si salí­a mal, tení­amos algo en que recurrir, algo con que ganarnos la vida, si era necesario”

“Eso significo que no necesitábamos ponernos metas como hacernos famoso fuera de Holanda, o vender un número determinado de discos,” el agrega “Podí­amos simplemente sentarnos y observar que sucedí­a, a salvo en la idea de que estábamos bien si nada pasaba. Significa que nuestra carrera ha sido orgánica, en vez de algo que tení­amos que forzar para poder obtener un mayor número de ventas.”

Y es una carrera que ha durado hasta ahora más de 10 años, una carrera que los ha visto convertirse en una de las bandas más grandes de Europa, una banda que ha tocado para 10.000 personas en un solo espectáculo – como lo hicieron en su concierto de Java Island en el 2005.

Todo esto los pone ahora en una situación peculiar. Despuíés de batallar su camino hacia la cima en Europa en los últimos 10 años. Ahora están empezando otra vez desde abajo – peleando por reconocimiento en GB y Amíérica. Seguramente tocando en locales de mala muerte, concediendo incontables entrevistas y esforzándose con todo el trabajo que toma hacer famosa una banda, eso es algo de lo que están cansados?

“Es en realidad, bastante estimulante” dice den Adel. “Es sensacional poder pelear otra vez”, es sensacional empezar de nuevo. Las personas que ya nos conocen, saben que esperar. En Amíérica, por ejemplo, nadie sabe que esperar de nosotros, entonces se siente como cuando estábamos empezando la banda. Es emocionante ver esas primeras reacciones otra vez.”

“Significa que nos sentimos pioneros,” la interrumpe Westerholt. “Estamos a la vanguardia. No hay otras bandas Holandesas haciendo lo que nosotros hacemos”

Pero, no ser conocido viene con sus problemas. En Amíérica, y en GB, hasta cierto punto, Within temptation ha sido catalogado como el “Proximo Evanescence”, esto a pesar de tener una carrera de más de 10 años y un amplio catalogo de canciones. Esa es, sin embargo, una comparación comprensible – ambas bandas tratan temas oscuros, tiene magnifico sonido, pertenecen al rock gótico, ambas bandas poseen vocalistas femeninas sensuales y ambas atraen la misma clase de admiradores. Aun así­, esto es algo que no hace feliz a Within Temptation.

“Síé que eventualmente las personas juzgaran la música por lo que es,” dice den Adel. “Pero si, a veces me molesta; a veces las personas pueden ser muy desagradables. Hay personas que han dicho que nosotros estamos imitando a Evanescence. Eso es muy desagradable porque nosotros hemos estado haciendo esto por mucho tiempo y, cosas como nuestra ropa y la forma en que nos comportamos siempre han sido así­.

Si la gente viera nuestra historia, se darí­an cuenta por sí­ mismos. Es siempre como un trago amargo que tenemos que pasar y no es justo. Desearí­a que las personas tuvieran la mente suficientemente abierta como para poder vernos como somos”

“Pero no es realmente frustrante porque sabemos que no es verdad”, continua Westerholt. “Al final, eso no es lo que se destaca. Lo que se destaca es la música, si es buena. De manera que, no es agradable ser comparado con otras bandas pero síé que, al final, la gente se olvidara de eso. Siempre serás comparado con alguien a menos que seas la banda más famosa y grande que hay – Entonces todos los demás son comparados contigo”

Y, si no los están cuestionando por eso, entonces es por el hecho que tienen a una mujer en la banda. Otro tema de conversación que los hace suspirar del cansancio.

“Siempre me preguntan si me tratan de manera diferente o si fue difí­cil al principio ya que era una de “las pocas mujeres en el metal”, dice den Adel, poniendo los ojos en blanco. “La respuesta es no. Nunca tuve ningún problema, las personas siempre nos han aceptado como somos

So, I received a pleasant surprise in the mail yesterday - sitting in my letterbox was the upcoming album from Dutch Rock legends Within Temptation. Thus, without further ado...

The new Within Temptation album opens with an eerie 34 second voice clip entitled “Why Not Me?” - coincidentally also used in the short movie bundled with the 'Faster' single - which really helps set the mood and focus the mind for the story which follows.

"Shot In The Dark" begins on misleadingly quiet territory, lulling you into calm and gently leading you on. "I've been left out alone like a dead criminal" starts Sharon, before quickly leading into a chorus which packs one hell of a punch, bleating out "your soul is on fire, a shot in the dark - where did they aim for when they missed your heart?" which you'll be singing long after the song is over.

'In The Middle Of The Night' comes up next, beginning with guitars blazing and Sharon's haunting voice echoing 'I don't care if I'm playing with fire, I'm aware that I'm frozen inside'. This is definitely one of the strongest songs on the album, both musically and from a production perspective.

“Faster” is the first nominated single from the album, and offers a good example of the new direction that Within Temptation have gone in for their first concept album. Powerful vocals and a catchy chorus make for an impressive rock anthem, a wise choice!

“Fire And Ice” slows down the pace, and is the first ballad on the album. The highlight of this song definitely lies in the power and capacity of Sharon's voice - 'where's the love we once had, is it all a lie?' haunts the first verse, before the tempo picks up for the second with strong orchestral elements and a steady bass line.

If “Fire and Ice” slowed down the pace a bit too much for your liking, 'Iron' brutally forces it right back up again! A symphonic introduction with heavy, fast paced guitars precedes Sharon belting out 'you cant live without the fire, it's the heat that makes you strong' in yet another catchy chorus.

In what is a good choice for just past the halfway mark, “Where Is The Edge” is a medium paced showcase of talent in a specific Within Temptation style - albeit in a slightly predictable manner.

“Sinead” will be the 2nd single released from the album, and is as far away from “Faster” as it's possible to get. 'Now I'm crossing the border, sealing my fate, I'm not afraid' - definitely an accurate description of what Within Temptation demonstrates with this track. Lyrically mainstream but musically epic, this is the defining song to showcase their breakaway from albums of old.

The slow tempo of 'Lost' perhaps contrasts with the rest of the album. Acoustic guitars compliment Sharon's vocals at the start, with striking range and lyrics which will leave you pondering – right before you're brutally overwhelmed with the sudden kick of a full blown orchestra directly after the chorus.

'A Demon's Fate' has the most interesting start of any of the songs on the album, and would sound more in place on a pop-rock record from the 80s. With less orchestra breaks than usual, it could be considered an easygoing song that is guaranteed to appeal to a wide range of musical taste.

As you'd expect from a song with such a title, 'Murder' uses dark and theatrical structures in order to transport the listener into a world, which could resemble an Edgar Allan Poe-esque scenario. Certainly unique, this is one song which is hard not to listen to again, simply to see if you missed anything the first time.

The album concludes with a balled called 'Stairway To The Skies', led by a piano based start accompanied by the combined efforts of a few violinists, joined one last time by the haunting vocal talents of Sharon. Making use of such lines as 'My Angel is coming down from heaven to take me', we can only hope that these particular Angels will grace us with their music for many years to come.

9.5/10 - Whilst its certainly a change in pace and direction for a well established band, its nonetheless one of the best albums I've had the pleasure of listening to in a long time. Less emphasis on choirs, more emphasis on rock'n'roll, this marks a turning point in the long standing career of Within Temptation - for the good.

Within Temptation el exitoso y sorprendente grupo holandíés, no son una banda promedio, son todo un íéxito en el continente europeo, y en el mundo, solo no esperen que alardeen sobre eso.

El paisaje desde el Aeropuerto Schiphol de Amsterdam al pequeño pueblo de Gouda es implacablemente plano. Los campos se extienden hasta donde alcanza la vista, se logra ver pueblos a la distancia, con los árboles que fuerzan un horizonte sobre los aviones de los alrededores.

Sharon den Adel, la vocalista de 36 años de edad, conocida ya en todas partes del mundo por su siríénica voz, nos susurra en voz muy baja las enormes ventas que han tenido sus álbumes en el viejo continente.

Sus discos se han vendido de tal manera que hasta ellos mismos se sorprendieron. De hecho, son ventas que eclipsan a las de otras bandas consideradas exitosas. Sus primeros álbumes vendieron más de dos millones en total, solo recordemos a “The Silent Force”, el cual fue nombrado disco de oro en solo las tres primeras semanas de su lanzamiento.

Son estas cifras las que han llevado a Within Temptation a ganar premios casi todos los años de “Record de ventas en el extranjero”. La mayorí­a de dichos paí­ses son Holanda, Escandinavia, Alemania, y el resto de Europa, lugares que no son exactamente conocidos por ser “semilleros de la música”, y lo cual resulta increí­ble. Esto es algo que Sharon den Adel y sus compañeros de la banda lograron en el camino, siendo ellos mismos, componiendo hermosas melodí­as y composiciones.

En el escenario Sharon den Adel es un derroche de trajes, corpiños ajustados, vestidos, faldas de vuelo, combinado con maquillaje que van desde lo oscuro, hasta digamos, gótico. Hoy, está en jeans, chaqueta negra y un maquillaje mí­nimo. Ella es preciosa, despampanante como una modelo, con una tierna mirada y una sonrisa natural con un estilo curiosamente sencillo.

Por otro lado vemos a su pareja, guitarrista, primer amor y cerebro de la banda, Robert Westerholt. Alto, flaco, calvo, barbita de chivo, y de vez en cuando vehemente, es su visión de la música, combinada con la sensacional voz de Sharon, lo que han aumentado las ventas de sus discos tan rápidamente.

Sharon Den Adel es la clase de persona que llama la atención de todas las miradas, y la anonimidad del gran guitarrista y compositor Robert Westerholt hacen de íél la clase de persona que “los demás” suelen ignorar. Su charla es casual, a menudo sobre sus vacaciones, o sus hijos.

Y, cuando ocasionalmente, el discurso de Westerholt se desví­a hacia algo mas obsceno, Sharon den Adel con delicadeza lo reprende. Cuando en una cena hace unas noches, empezó a contar una historia en la que tuvo que matar a una paloma, provocó que ella se incline hacia atrás con una mirada de advertencia y preguntando, “Robert, ¿de verdad necesitamos escuchar esa historia justo ahora?”. jajaja!


Y mientras se pasean por el paí­s, señalando paisajes en el camino, es fácil olvidar que estás en compañí­a de miembros de una banda. Cuando ocasionalmente se detienen a comprarte regalos como caramelos o galletas tí­picas holandesas, todo parece una extraña escapada con amigos particularmente hospitalarios, en vez de una entrevista con una banda que ha vendido millones de álbumes.

Los integrantes de Within Temptation no son iguales a los de de otras bandas que hablan solo de sexo, drogas y rock and roll, como estás por descubrir en las siguientes lí­neas.

Within Temptation fue formada en 1996, unos años despuíés que Robert Westerholt se tropezara con la bella Sharon den Adel en un concierto escolar en el pequeño pueblo Holandíés de Alphen aan den Rijn.

Ella creció junto a su padre viajando por todas partes del mundo, quien montaba proyectos en diferentes naciones lejanas llevando a su familia consigo. Ella menciona los muchos paí­ses que solí­a llamar casa, de Surinam a Etiopia, pasando por Indonesia hasta Yemen, Sri Lanka y muchos más.

Sharon dice que: “Era en su mayorí­a una forma maravillosa de vivir, una niñez sensacional. Pero habí­an momentos en los que desee que nos hubiíésemos quedado en un solo lugar. Era siempre difí­cil mantener, y hacer amistades, cuando sabes que te vas a mudar lejos de nuevo. Aun así­, tratíé. Solí­a escribir a mis amigos y todaví­a estoy en contacto con algunos. En realidad, acabo de visitar a uno el otro dí­a”

De vuelta en Holanda, a los 14 años, Sharon den Adel cantaba en una banda local que realizaba covers, tocando algo de Lenny Kravitz, Pink Floyd, y ese estilo de música.

Sharon cuenta: “Solí­amos ganar todas las competencias en la batalla de las bandas porque mi primo, que estaba en una pandilla de motociclistas, vení­a a todos nuestros conciertos y llenaba todos los formularios votando por nosotros, jajaja!”.

Mientras tanto, Robert Westerholt, crecí­a en España, vivió cerca de Madrid donde su padre, un Contador, habí­a establecido su propia firma. Westerholt montaba a caballo sin parar, pasaba las mañanas limpiando establos, entonces así­ podí­a pasar las tardes cabalgando por los campos de España con su hermano. Y con un sentimiento de culpa dice que no ha cabalgado en años.

A los 10 años, su familia retornó a Holanda, mudándose a una amplia casa en una urbanización en Alphen aan den Rijn, a 30 minutos de Amsterdam en carro. Mientras Sharon den Adel manejaba con facilidad por esas calles. Westerholt mira larga y fijamente por la ventana asombrado.

Señala los muros que usaba para practicar tenis o los campos en los que solí­a correr, y dirige a su pareja por esas calles recordando los viejos tiempos.

Fuera de su antigua casa, mira fijamente las ventanas, notando varios cambios, recordando cuando solí­a introducir a escondidas equipamiento e instrumentos de música despuíés que su padre le habí­a prohibido comprarlos. Sharon den Adel suelta una risita, recordando cuando el padre de Westerholt la sorprendió en la cama de Robert vestida con solo una camiseta.

Sharon cuenta, mientras suelta su clásica sonrisa contagiosa: “El estaba tan avergonzado que no sabí­a que decir. Creo que se puso más rojo que yo, jajaja!”

“No querí­amos tener que hacer música por dinero” el admite “No querí­amos que la música fuera lo que pusiera comida en nuestras mesas. Querí­amos tener independencia de eso. Cuando renunciamos a nuestros trabajos para convertirnos en una banda profesional sabí­amos que no tení­amos que hacer concesiones en nuestra música porque, si salí­a mal, tení­amos algo en que recurrir, algo con que ganarnos la vida, si era necesario”

“Eso significo que no necesitábamos ponernos metas como hacernos famoso fuera de Holanda, o vender un número determinado de discos,” el agrega “Podí­amos simplemente sentarnos y observar que sucedí­a, a salvo en la idea de que estábamos bien si nada pasaba. Significa que nuestra carrera ha sido orgánica, en vez de algo que tení­amos que forzar para poder obtener un mayor número de ventas.”

Y es una carrera que ha durado hasta ahora más de 10 años, una carrera que los ha visto convertirse en una de las bandas más grandes de Europa, una banda que ha tocado para 10.000 personas en un solo espectáculo – como lo hicieron en su concierto de Java Island en el 2005.

Todo esto los pone ahora en una situación peculiar. Despuíés de batallar su camino hacia la cima en Europa en los últimos 10 años. Ahora están empezando otra vez desde abajo – peleando por reconocimiento en GB y Amíérica. Seguramente tocando en locales de mala muerte, concediendo incontables entrevistas y esforzándose con todo el trabajo que toma hacer famosa una banda, eso es algo de lo que están cansados?

“Es en realidad, bastante estimulante” dice den Adel. “Es sensacional poder pelear otra vez”, es sensacional empezar de nuevo. Las personas que ya nos conocen, saben que esperar. En Amíérica, por ejemplo, nadie sabe que esperar de nosotros, entonces se siente como cuando estábamos empezando la banda. Es emocionante ver esas primeras reacciones otra vez.”

“Significa que nos sentimos pioneros,” la interrumpe Westerholt. “Estamos a la vanguardia. No hay otras bandas Holandesas haciendo lo que nosotros hacemos”

Pero, no ser conocido viene con sus problemas. En Amíérica, y en GB, hasta cierto punto, Within temptation ha sido catalogado como el “Proximo Evanescence”, esto a pesar de tener una carrera de más de 10 años y un amplio catalogo de canciones. Esa es, sin embargo, una comparación comprensible – ambas bandas tratan temas oscuros, tiene magnifico sonido, pertenecen al rock gótico, ambas bandas poseen vocalistas femeninas sensuales y ambas atraen la misma clase de admiradores. Aun así­, esto es algo que no hace feliz a Within Temptation.

“Síé que eventualmente las personas juzgaran la música por lo que es,” dice den Adel. “Pero si, a veces me molesta; a veces las personas pueden ser muy desagradables. Hay personas que han dicho que nosotros estamos imitando a Evanescence. Eso es muy desagradable porque nosotros hemos estado haciendo esto por mucho tiempo y, cosas como nuestra ropa y la forma en que nos comportamos siempre han sido así­.

Si la gente viera nuestra historia, se darí­an cuenta por sí­ mismos. Es siempre como un trago amargo que tenemos que pasar y no es justo. Desearí­a que las personas tuvieran la mente suficientemente abierta como para poder vernos como somos”

“Pero no es realmente frustrante porque sabemos que no es verdad”, continua Westerholt. “Al final, eso no es lo que se destaca. Lo que se destaca es la música, si es buena. De manera que, no es agradable ser comparado con otras bandas pero síé que, al final, la gente se olvidara de eso. Siempre serás comparado con alguien a menos que seas la banda más famosa y grande que hay – Entonces todos los demás son comparados contigo”

Y, si no los están cuestionando por eso, entonces es por el hecho que tienen a una mujer en la banda. Otro tema de conversación que los hace suspirar del cansancio.

“Siempre me preguntan si me tratan de manera diferente o si fue difí­cil al principio ya que era una de “las pocas mujeres en el metal”, dice den Adel, poniendo los ojos en blanco. “La respuesta es no. Nunca tuve ningún problema, las personas siempre nos han aceptado como somos”

Tanto Sharon den Adel como Robert Westerholt dicen que sus composiciones están influenciadas por cosas que ven a su alrededor o por sus propias emociones. Sharon den Adel dice que a menudo esas son cosas que les han pasado a ambos. Aun así­, por extraño que parezca, ambos dicen que nunca escriben, uno sobre el otro.

“Puede ser que pase subconscientemente,” reflexiona Westerholt. “Pero no creo que intencionalmente escribamos uno sobre el otro.”

¿Parece una cosa extraña que afirmen que su música es personal y aun así­ la cosa más personal para ellos – su relación de pareja – quede fuera de la música. Seguramente reprimen sus emociones en sus canciones; Seguramente, las cosas que no dijeron en sus peleas aparecen en las letras de las canciones?

“Eso en realidad no sucede,” dice Sharon den Adel. “Somos Holandeses y eso significa que somos personas muy francas. Hay un dicho en Holandíés similar a uno en Ingles – dice, “Tenemos nuestro corazón en nuestra lengua”. Decimos lo que pensamos, lo cual no es siempre bueno, por supuesto. Pero si aclara el ambiente. Significa que los problemas no se acumulan y no tenemos que ponerlos en nuestras canciones.”

Ni siquiera, dicen, el hecho de que están juntos, los hace los jefes de la banda; capaces de ganar casi todas las discusiones a fuerza del hecho de que comparten la misma cama.


“Si el resto de la banda tiene algún problema con nosotros, entonces ellos nos confrontan con su problema,” revela Sharon den Adel. “Vernos como los jefes es la manera incorrecta de abordar las cosas. Creo que cada miembro en la banda sabe lo que quiere y tiene un rol con el que está feliz.”

Aun así­ son ellos dos son los que están siendo entrevistados, mientras el resto de la banda no está por ningún lado.

“Ellos si participan en las entrevistas,” dice Sharon den Adel. “En este caso solo fuimos nosotros, pero a veces seria agradable si no fuíéramos solo nosotros. En realidad, Creo que los fans tienen más problema con eso que la banda en sí­. Siempre están diciendo, “Hay más personas en la banda no solo Sharon, ¿porquíé siempre está solo ella en las fotos?”. No es algo que elegimos, es solo algo que sucede y no tenemos ningún problema con eso.”

“Sharon siempre va a obtener mucha mas atención ya que ella es la vocalista de la banda,” agrega Robert Westerholt. “Eso es lógico. Yo soy un compositor, Así­ que hablo de las canciones, pero Matjin tambiíén compone, simplemente a íél no le gusta hablar.”

Mientras pasean alrededor de las antiguas calles de Gouda, señalando la arquitectura e historia del lugar, meditan calmadamente sobre sus vidas. Dicen que obviamente seria agradable si se volvieran famosos en G.B y Amíérica – “Ciertamente no nos escucharás quejándonos si eso sucede”, confiesa Robert Westerholt – pero no es lo principal, no es lo que los motiva.

Pregúntales si estarí­an felices de vender 5 millones de copias de su nuevo álbum, y en vez de alegrí­a, hay preocupación en sus rostros.

“Estarí­a muy asustado si me volviera muy famoso,” responde Robert Westerholt. “No es algo que realmente deseemos.”

Y entonces, piensas que es una banda extraña. Una banda que prefiere llevarte en una caminata por los pueblos Holandeses en vez de hablar cosas sucias sobre la industria de la música, una banda que no quiere ser muy famosa. Una banda con planes alternativos, tí­tulos universitarios y olfato para los negocios. Una banda que, tal vez por primera vez en la historia son creí­bles cuando te dicen que están en el medio solo por la música.

Entrevista Metalways (Francia)

Citar
Today, we met with Sharon den Adel in Paris. Robert, Ruud and her were there to promote their soon to be released new album: The Unforgiving. We talked about the concept of the album, about the story of the comics it’s based upon and also about the movies that will revolve round it. Since we were given the chance to listen to the new songs, we were able to talk about the big step that the band is taking by bringing us an all new sound, very different from what they’ve done until now, and yet, still perfectly true to what Within Temptation is.


 Metal-Ways: How did Steven O'Connell end up writing a comics for you?

Sharon: What happened was that we wanted to write lyrics for a movie. We were searching for a good movie with a good story and everybody had different release dates. If something goes wrong, a movie can very easily be postponed for a year, and we couldn't take the chance to have to wait for that, otherwise we would have had to postpone our album as well. So we decided to take the matter in our own hands.

We felt like we wanted to have a nice story, not a story that is very white and black, very easy, very superficial. We asked this comics writer that we met for The Heart of Everything. He was a writer for The Chronicles of Spellborn. He introduced us to Steven O'Connell. He is a very good writer for movies, for scripts, for comics, and he does the X-Men series in America also.
So we called him, and he had some ideas, but it wasn't the kind of ideas that we like: we don't like zombies, we don't like fantasy, we don't like blablabla... at least not for this story. We want something totally different, we want a thriller, we want a detective, we want something that has several layers, and, you know, what you see is not completely what you get. When you are reading a book, it's nice to be surprised, so that is what we wanted also.

So we told him what kind of movies we liked, what kind of books we read, and he thought about it and he came up with a basic idea, like 2 or 3 lines, the story is about people who have done bad things but not because they are bad, but because they made bad decisions. And they got a second life by Mother Maiden. They got recruited to find some redemption, but they have to pick up the bad guys. It sounds a little bit like a X-Men kind of story, but it is also a little bit like what you see is not always what you get. It is more a detective, a thriller, but that's something you will see when the comics comes in.

So we chose a comics to keep the matter in our own hands, but also because we love comics. We grew up with comics.

M-W: In which way do you think this comics connects to Within Temptation?

I think in a way that we, as writers, always are looking for something new. And this is also part of us I think, that's why it suits us. But I think that a lot of people will have to get used to the artwork and stuff like that. They are so different from what we did previously... But for us, it is really necessary to get inspired again.

And also because, in the past, when we were growing up as teenagers, in the 80's, when you bought an album, you were like: "Oooh, the album goes out!" and you looked at the artwork and wonder "Oh, what does this mean?" There were a lot of things to discover and people really were waiting until the album came out: "Only one week left!" and now everybody just download it, and it's just one song... We hope to bring a little bit the old magic back by bringing not just music but also a story behind it, and movies...

M-W: Did you choose the name of the characters?

Sometimes we did and sometimes we didn't. Siníéad for instance, she was called Maya and was from South America, which was beautiful and everything but we felt like: "Ok, we have a song already called Sinead" and I said "I can't hear myself singing "Mayaaaa". It doesn't fit you know (laughs). So we asked Steven if we could change to Siníéad, because it's a beautiful name... and Steven said: "ok that's a good idea! Let's bring her back to Dublin!" (laughs)

M-W: Are there parts of the story or maybe some characters that have been inspired by some TV shows?

No, not that we know of.

M-W: At the end of the first short clip, Steven O'Connell and Tim Smit are credited for the script, and Joeri Holsheimer is named as the director. What part did you play in the creating process?

Well, it is like adding small ideas that you have... But it was really a creative team altogether, from the story to the movies, because Tim and Joeri had interesting ideas about the film, and it didn't always match the story... So we had to go back to Steven and say "Ok Steven, we have to integrate this and this because it is really nice what they want to do, it really makes the story much better". That was really good to do. That's all creative people, including us, everybody was just adding things and ideas for the movies and for the story.

M-W: Aesthetically, the first short movie is successfully studied and accomplished. The band parts of the video clip, on the other hand, are simple and sober. Was it a choice?

Yes, we wanted to put all the money into the movies. You have a budget and then you have to make choices and, to be honest, MTV and everything, it is not so big anymore. And when you make videos, they always say "you can't use blood, you can't use guns, you can't use..." and we wanted to use everything: blood, guns... everything! (laughs)
The special edition of the CD will have everything on it: the movies, and all three videos.

M-W: You shot the 3 video clips within the same week. Will they look alike?

No, there are really different things. One is in a club, and two of them were shot in an old factory. In one of them, you only see darkness, there's only black.

M-W: There are two ways of watching the videoclip: either short film + video clip with only the band images, or only the video clip with mixed images from both the movie and the band. Is there a way that feels more natural to you?

If I were a fan, I would watch the long version (first the movie and then the clip) otherwise you miss certain parts of course.

M-W: Who wrote the Mother Maiden's speech from the first movie?

That was Steven O'Connell.

M-W: In which way this concept gave you the inspiration to come up to a new approach of your sound?

Well, we have been writing this kind of music since late 80's, beginning 90's. It is a long time; it's more than ten years, and with The Heart of Everything, we felt like it was finalized. It was the best album we could have done.
We finalized our sound and everything, and we were always like this: "Ok, we have a goal and that is what we have to write", and, when you have done it, you feel like you've done everything, more or less, and probably, you can't do better. Then, it was like "Oh! What now?"

So we stopped with everything, just let all music boundaries go and see what comes. This was the only way to open up again to new ideas. We were a little bit afraid of that because you never know what will come up, and, at the beginning, we were like: "Ooh it's going to be an 80's album, only going to be 80's!" And in the end, it just became a little more old Within Temptation and very new things from the 80's, you know, when we were growing up.

So we went back to our roots, and also to bands we grew up with: Metallica, Iron Maiden, but also Siníéad O'Connor, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Chris Isaak (not that I was a huge fan of Chris Isaak, I liked him very much, but I appreciate him more now actually than I did when I was growing up, although I did love Wicked Games, Blue Hotel and similar kind of songs that he wrote...)

M-W: Actually, Faster sounds a bit like Wicked Games...

Yes, it has the same atmosphere. It has similar, almost the same, accords, but it is different... So, we've been going like: "Ooooh we have re-written Wicked Games" and then "No, the chords scheme is different, we don't have to worry. And it's a written song!" (laughs) "Yay!".

M-W: You said that the diversity of the songs comes from the concept itself. Can you explain that?

Well, not only from the concept, but also because every inspiration differs from one another, like Iron Maiden is totally different from Chris Isaak! So that made it very diverse. Fire and Ice was more Frankie goes to Hollywood inspired.

M-W: By getting your inspiration from metal, rock and also pop hits from the 80's, you don't have a lot of room for symphonic elements which have always been a big part of Within Temptation. So, you are taking a big step, and some people might even call it a big risk. Do you feel anxious, or does it just feel natural?

Yes, it feels natural, it feels liberating also, but I don't think we left the orchestra part that much behind. It's less present, it's a new kind of mix. I think this way it becomes heavier. Because it is very difficult to have your strings, you know, the orchestra over there, and also guitars. They are always in the same frequency. So you always have to choose orchestra or guitars. And in the past, we said: "ok, bye bye guitars!", and the orchestra was all "BOOOW" big and everything... But that's something we always missed and now we have guitars and a lot of solos!

M-W: On the whole album, your way of singing is almost never soprano but more rock like and more aggressive than before. Is it only because it fits the concept better, or have you reached a point where it's safer for your voice this way?

No, it's more because it's needed for the emotions that I want for certain songs.

M-W: Your voice is very soft in Siníéad because "for the first time, life is gonna turn alright" whereas it's clearly darker in Murder (dark Ice Queen style). You've reached a point where you're able to perfectly inflect your voice in order to make the characters feelings come to life. Is it well-thought or did it just come naturally?

No, it just came naturally. I think that Murder is a little bit like a wacko kind of song. So I needed a wacko kind of voice, like if it was a crazy person singing. And I'm singing about a murderer. And Siníéad, it's lyric, it's a heavy song. In the beginning, it starts very soft and then it's like... party time! (laughs) ... which I also like, because it's nice to have uplifting songs! Usually, it's always dark...

M-W: Since we have time to talk about some of the songs, I'll ask bluntly: where the hell did In The Middle Of The Night come from?

In The Middle Of The Night... (starts singing it...) I love that song. It's one of my favourites. It just came up... we always had problems writing uptempo songs. Somehow it was always easier to write mid tempo songs and still make them heavy... I'm just trying, and trying, every time again, to have a heavy song... And then, I sat down with Daniel this time, and we were trying and trying, and it just happened! And I love it! I'm so proud of this song!

M-W: And I suppose your neck is definitely healed... because it's going to have to work perfectly!

Yeah! (laughs) I'll let everybody else headbang because I have to sing perfectly, and it's not a very easy song, breathing wise. There is not much time to breathe.

M-W: Another heavy song on the album is Iron. It's really power metal spirit. How did it come to that?

Well, that was more Robert and Daniel. Robert is really an Iron Maiden fan, Ruud also of course, and the guys have written a beautiful guitar solo for that. With this song, it's again the same thing: going back to our roots. It's very difficult to write a good song in that tempo but it works somehow.

M-W: And it's funny to hear your voice on this kind of music, because even at the beginning, when WT sounded more metal, it was gothic metal, kind of sweet, and sad...

And now it's more like : kick your balls! (laughs)

M-W: And it's nice!

I like it too because I like the new me! (laughs)

M-W: Since there's a large musical diversity within this album, are there one or two songs that you particularly enjoy?

I like everything. That's because I don't like only one kind of music. I like In The Middle Of The Night because it's so metal and it kicks ass! I like Fire and Ice because it's so beautiful and also very sad and pure emotion... But also other songs, they all have something special. I like Siníéad because it's so upper lifting... like: "no matter what happens to me, I'm gonna turn my life around", that kind of feeling.

M-W: How do you think you're going to tell the story of your album through live performances?

Well, the good thing is that I'm pregnant now (laughs) so we have more time to develop this. We're going to try to bring the story of the comics and the films on stage. I'm not sure yet how we're going to do it, maybe through projections or something. We just have to see what we're going to do.

M-W: And, in order to respect the story, do you plan on playing the songs in the same order as they are on the album?

No, because then it would be a very short show I think, because it's only a small hour... So we'll integrate some other songs as well... maybe just complete album and then old songs, or maybe integrate the old songs with the new ones. I'm not sure yet.

M-W: And since the concept idea is very important, do you plan to do special concerts where you'll perform the entire album in a row?

Maybe... It's maybe an idea, something we will be playing around with.

M-W: To conclude, there's an article on the website entitled "From now on, nothing will be the same". Was this only a teaser thing, or do you profoundly feel that way?

Well, we feel like we've made a major step in a different direction. We're not leaving everything behind but just adding a new flavour to our songs.

How long have you wanted to do a concept album?
We've wanted to do it for some years, we wanted to really develop the group and our career, but also our creativity.

Why is there a linked comic book?
As I said before, we wanted to reach a new level in our career. We wanted to do something new with a story and lyrics inspired by that story, not just lyrics limited to our imaginations, so we needed an over-arching theme/structure and to have a new approach to composition. It needed to be cohesive, and that's why it's focused on a story or a film. Because we have been comic book fans since we were children, we went for the option that was the most logical and natural.


Was it your idea, or did it come from the label?
It was really our idea. We spoke to the label many times and it was decided. We have the fortune to work with people who understand our desires and let us work while overseeing everything really well, and with our best interests at heart.


You said that you and the rest of the band are fans of comic books, but how did did you write without being too much like your influences? [sorry, stilted sentence!!]
We didn't question ourselves, we just let our imaginations run wild.

How did the collaborations with Romano Molenaar an Steven O'Connell come about?
In reality, we had already worked with them. Romano had worked on a video game in 2004 (Knights Of The Temple) where we supplied some music. We've known him for a long time, like Steven. We trusted him with our basic ideas and he took care of the writing. We acted like production managers telling him what we wanted from the comic. We thought it would happen all at once, but it doesn't! The Unforgiving is like a skeleton of work that is coming together over many months of hard work. Besides, not everything is finished: Steven is still working on the third comic (out of six).

Thanks to the fantastic work of the French postal system and its legendary punctuality, I didn't receiver a copy of the album in time to be able to listen to it before this interview. Therefore, I shall confine myself to issues and questions related to things already known to fans... In an interview with French magazine "Rock Hard" in October 2009, Sharon made it clear that Daniel Gibson would not be your producer, that you wished to change or even produce the album yourselves, but Daniel is back on The Unforgiving.
At that time Daniel was really exhausted and no longer felt capable of producing again. He needed to regain the energy and dynamism that we value so much.

Did you not feel, like other groups have, the need change everything to produce this album? I mean by that a change in producer, studio, country, in short everything that surrounds this creative process?
Daniel also has to be near our changes, our desires. He knows us and indeed, once he refound his drive, we did not ask to go elsewhere. It's simply a question of feeling.

You wrote on your site that TU will be influenced by many things, in particular the 80s. I do not recall having read or heard in the past that you were fans of this new wave period.
It turns out that we have evolved in the metal scene ever since our inception, even though we have not seen ourselves as a part of this scene for some time. The problem is that when you talk of the 80s, many people think of the new wave, but of the beginnings of the "heavy wave". I was born in 1975, and I grew up in this time, bathed in the music of Sisters Of Mercy, Michael Jackson, Billy Idol, Duran Duran, A Ha but Van Halen or even Europe. Too often, we reduce the eighties to only pop music. You have to see these years as a mixed bag.

I agree, but the real expansion of metal as a musical trend occurred in the late eighties. There were hits and a lot of newcomers from 1984 onwards, but nothing can justify that to the large majority, this was the decade of metal. In the eyes of many the advent of the metal has not happened yet [yeah...I'm not sure either]
I know, but we must not forget that at this time, metal had a certain "bite", it was something decidedly novel, heavy and very creative music. It was the time of Queen solos.

What justifies their presence in songs on this album, and the return of massive and punchy guitars that I could hear the short but very promising extract of "In The Middle Of The Night"?
You have said it all. The 80s cannot be simply reduced to synths, even though that is something that is very prominent and very much associated with that era, but it's more than that. Our new sound, this new approach that we've been talking about for some time does not only comprise the pop music from the 80s, we also take into account the metal aspect of this period, though of course we can consider Van Halen or Europe as being a part of the metal sound of the time, as well as groups like Metallica or Scorpions.

So you've partially answered my next question was whether you were a true fan of this musical era or just a new fan of the music of your youth.
Returning to solos, Sharon said a year and a half ago that she was learning to play the guitar. Might she be able to treat us to a guitar solos?
(Laughs) It might be the case for the next album, who knows?

Many fans have noticed a certain similarity between "Where Is The Edge" and songs on your previous album "The Heart Of Everything". Was it disappointing for you to hear this about the first single from your upcoming album, which was part of your new sound?
It is true that that song is similar to what we have done in the past but that does not reflect the rest of the album, I can guarantee that.

Same question, but rather to focus on the striking similarity between the melody of "Faster" and that of "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak.
True, there are similarities, the feeling of the two songs are similar, but our song is not a copy. It may be that, like any artist, we were inspired unconsciously by what has shaped our culture and musical tastes, but the similarity wasn't on purpose.

Which do you prefer? The original or HIM's version?
The original of course, Chris Isaak is a great musician. The version of HIM is great,but the original is unbeatable.

The first reviews available for TU are very impressive, some even evoke this album as your masterpiece. Were you expecting such praise?
You know more than me, to be honest. I did not know that some people had talked TU like that (ndl: metal merchant, emp).
Of course we are proud of this album, we are extremely happy to know that were are positive reviews, but we have already dealt with less kind reviews.


You've already recorded 3 videos. It's rare to record everything at once. What is the reason? Is it because Sharon is pregnant and want to spare her the pressure?
This is one reason but not the only one. In fact, all our videos - or rather, our movies - will be available on the CD/DVD edition of The Unforgiving which is set to be released in March and it was necessary to record everything at once.

On Twitter, one of the extras on one of your videos mentions shooting in a German club. Is this place where you shot the video for your second single, "Sinead"?
That's right.


When will it be posted?
Probably at the end of the month.

Now a crucial question about your drummer: Is he a ghost? Does he really exist? In the video for "Faster", he is hidden, and he is also hidden in videos that have surfaced of your participation in the Vrienden van Amstel tour. Mike Coolen, your session drummer, said in the latest edition of your fan club magazine that the final replacement for Stephen had not yet been decided.
I want to reassure the fans: he is not a ghost. Our future drummer will be a creature of flesh and bone. The auditions are still ongoing and we should have chosen someone for the position by the time the summer festivals start.
He is hidden because we didn't want a session drummer to appear in a videoclip. Also, the idea that he is hidden is comparable to our concept album, they all come together, and you will understand the reason for this choice by reading the comics.


The decision hasn't been made? Is it possible for someone outside The Netherlands to apply?
Of course, but we need to finalise it soon, as I said, so don't delay!

Have you ever thought about your future stage set-up? Will you be dressed as a superhero?
(Laughs) We've already talked about it, but nothing is set in stone yet. We are currently busy with promotion. We will try to deal with the staging next month. Logically, our decor will be an extension of the world in the comics, but I don't know anything for sure right now.

Your next live appearance will take place this summer at M'era Luna Festival: a festival that you particularly like and which you were headlining a few years ago. Are other festivals planned?
Most likely, it is still up in the air. The only thing I can say now is that if we do other festivals, it will be in August.

Any idea of what will be performed on stage?
Not at all.

Enter? Not the entire album, even though I'm not against that, but at least a few songs?
We must be patient.

Will the M'era Luna setlist be representative of what will be played on your September tour?
It will be a good opportunity to present part of the album, to test the live tracks, but I don't think it will be the final set list, although will be possible to make rough estimations from it.

As I mentioned before, you opened the show at Vrienden van Amstel: Have you missed the stage?
Terribly so, it's a real addiction, especially for Sharon.

Was not that a bit annoying to leave after playing only 4 songs?
No no it was a good warm-up, a soft landing back into live performances, we weren't frustrated to leave so quickly.

Your previous album was released in March 2007, and since then you've played in many countries, made a DVD and an acoustic album. Should we still expect to wait four long years before your next album?
The album is not out yet we are already on the next one, my god (laughs)
I admit, our pace is not very fast, we like to take our time and give our best. It takes 3 years minimum, it is a good average I think, between each CD. It's a pace that suits us and I hope that fans will endure.

Do they have a choice?
Not really (laughs). But we are perfectionists and do not like to rush our work.

In recent years, you've for opened Metallica, Iron Maiden, both groups of which you are a fan. You've played with an orchestra and sold millions of CDs. Do you still have dreams left?
Of course. We realize how lucky we have been and all that we have done. It's still amazing.

In an interview with the Dutch magazine Aardshock back in 1998, you mentioned wanting to live your passion for music, which is the case today. What more can you want? Perhaps even more than a simple positive reception for your next CD?
The music scene is a perpetual challenge. We want to deliver concerts that people will not forget. Real shows. That's our motto at the moment, give the best of ourselves on stage, and to surpass ourselves each day is our challenge. But it's not a challenge in the etymological challenge sense of finding an even to win, in this case, it's more a goal that is facing us, as well as a competition. We want to excel, I repeat, to give the best.

What is your opinion on Stephen's group, My Favourite Scar?
Like many people, I have not seen them on live but I like their music. It is really very good. Stephen is an excellent drummer but he is also a very talented producer.

Same question on Ruud's project.
I listened to a little of "For All We Know", but as a fan of Iron Maiden, I was more interested in his project "Maiden United", which, in addition to being original, is very good . It is a very good group idea and they have a really talented singer (ndl: Daniel Gildenlí¶w Pain of Salvation).

Have you ever thought of launching your own a solo career without neglecting or even leaving Within Temptation?
It crossed my mind, but not more than that because Within Temptation takes so much of my time, but it does not bother me because I can blossom with this group which has given me so much.

A more informal question now: Do you prefer Twitter or Facebook? Who is in charge of writing messages on your accounts on those networks?
I like, no I love them. I am truly hooked. We like the ease of contact that they afford. You know, we have always been close to our fans and this gives us a certain way to present information on a daily basis, looking for news that we like to distribute. The messages are written by both the group and management. We share the password and give information and news as often as possible.

Such a scattering of information must be off-putting to some people?
Yes but not everyone goes to our site, Facebook, Twitter, Hyves, etc.. Social networks are important nowadays. We can not do without.

Two hours ago, you posted pictures of yourself at the local station "Oui" on these very same social networking sites. You mentioned the recording of an acoustic session that will be broadcast on Sunday. Can we have any more information? Has it already been recorded?If yes, what was the set list?
It has already been recorded, and we played "Faster," "Where Is The Edge" and "What Have You Done".

Did you play the same songs on Kerrang Radio last week when you were promoting the album in England?
If I remember correctly, it was a similar setlist, with Stand My Ground as well.

A final word about the tragic news this weekend about the passing of Gary Moore?
He was one of the greats. Wild Frontier is an album that I particularly appreciate. I never saw him on stage, unlike Sharon, who attended one of their concerts. Fortunately, his music is eternal.

The 25th March will be released Within Temptations latest album "The Unforgiven" in Sweden. This time the band has created a holistic concept. The fans have already received the first step in the form of the single "Aunt", short film "Mother Maiden" and the beginning of a comic strip. In autumn, the tour will involve a variety of artistic expressions.

Despite two days of promotion, it is a cheerful Robert Westerholt responds when Rocknytt get him on your phone.

Congratulations to you and Sharon to the coming baby. I hope that Sharon feels good.

-Yes, she is fine. Absolutely, it goes well.

When it is time for birth?

-The child will in early may, it is calculated to the 5th.

Your new album is a concept tablet. How did you determine that you wanted to make a concept album, in particular, along with cartoons and short films?

"It was a combination of things that are met. Some time ago, we had an idea that we wanted to do at the moment a concept album. Now we really felt that it was the right time to do so.

For us was our last album a finish on a kind of term. It would simply be a perfect album for us from the perspective that it was so we wanted that it would allow, as we have done over several years, with Orchestra and guitars. The balance was good and we really liked the album, but at the same time, we knew that we did not want to do the same thing again. It was time for something else.

 

Concept
"We knew that the Internet and things in the world had changed. MTV and other video channels had lost power. Today we can see what you like for the world on YouTube. It also means that we do not need to concern ourselves with purely creative. On MTV, you can view a spoon, but you may not see a naked ass or a drop of blood. Weapons are also prohibited.

This time, we wanted to do something creative, a mix of things we like. When we decided to make a concept album, but not in the traditional way by telling a story through lyrics. It limits you en masse.

We work with that type of songs and lyrics so you cannot tell an especially detailed story. Would we worked so we might have had to write a book. Instead, we bet on a comic. We knew a guy who worked with computer games, but also comic artists.

Yes, I was thinking just ask if you were familiar with Steven o' Connells (writer) and Romano Molenaars (artwork) work in the past?

"We knew only Romano. He was art director for a video game music as we did and we knew that he made cartoons and that he had worked for Marvel Comics and other publishers.

When I told him about the idea, so he thought it was fantastic. I asked if he felt a screenwriter because we didn't want to write the story themselves. We just wanted to write song lyrics with inspiration from the story.


Then we started to talk with Steven and I asked if he had any ideas. He told me about "The Unforgiving". When it had no name yet and no particular story. It was more of an idea but we loved it immediately it gave so many possibilities.

It would be a story with multiple layers in order to give more depth to characters. We did not want a steel or a simple evil against good history. The good is not always good and evil is not always bad.

There's always grey areas?

-Yes, and it inspires us. There are also some religious and some supernatural themes we get much inspiration.

We talked about the idea and gave Steven input. We also contacted a little different directors. It is a bit like with movies such as X — But, Spiderman, Batman or Sin City, which we also love to make a movie so it gives an extra dimension to the story. Make it just a comic so remain a bit in world series.

Directors like the idea of the direction and they had really good draft history, so we cooked together our ideas and Steven had a turnover of a great script.

I like the overall concept, it can really go in-depth in the various parts. It is really interesting.

-Yes, and you don't have to do it if you don't like it, you can also just listen to music without knowing anything about the series.

Musical inspiration
During the recording of the disc did you type on the Web that you WT — found inspiration in the songs from your musical roots in 80-and 90-century metal, rock and pop.
Examples of artists were e.g., Sisters of Mercy and Depeche Mode.
What was your inspiration when you were 15-17 years old. Which band you listened to?

-It was the type of tape, but I think our influences goes much further back and is much deeper than that.

A song like "Aunt" are in the nature of Chris Isaak while eg "Shot In The Dark" is a little harder in the melody.

I do not know always what artists inspired. It may even have been a part of songs by Kim Wilde and other pop artists, but when we came into the metal was with Iron Maiden and Metallica. It was the era metal band, but also the Sisters of Mercy and Fields of Nephilim. When I was really young began with Marillion.

I was a jí¤ttefan of Marillion. I think the main difference is that we in the early 1990 's began to move away from 80-century songs and was looking for more powerful expressions. The difference in this album is that refrí¤ngerna is a bit more melodic. It is larger and more melodic. This is the link between the two.

Swedish production
Once you have chosen to work with the Swedish producer Daniel Gibson. What do you think that Daniel has contributed to the medieval Tempations sound?
 
-He is a very perfektionistisk producer in sound image. It really is needed if we want to achieve a high level. Then we have to have control of everything and that makes him very good. Fixed more than we like his creativity and that we can match it.

He is a person with roots in the metal, but also like the useful pop. I think that is where we have a good connection. I write a lot of music with him and we understand each other well.

I understand that trust is very important in the process.

-Yes, Daniel has been with us on the road with our latest album. He has also had the same feeling of wanting to do something different and develop it.

The kreativita process
Would you say that there is a special creative process Within Temptation or has varied between albums?

"I think it has improved in view of the fact that more and more about yourself and other people and what is best will help your creativity.

In the context of this plate have I really taught me not to continue working when I'm not creative anymore. It is better to use one hour a day when you're in a good mood rather than to sit 10 hours that do not contribute to something. You'll learn more and more how you can reach your animosity and translate it into creativity

Sharon's voice

I read somewhere that Sharon experimented more with its voice during the recordings of "The Heart of Everything". Do you think she has moved its limits further with "The Unforgiving"?
 
-Yes, absolutely, it is something that continues to amaze us. It's almost as if she can do anything now. Once it has been fantastic for us.

It is not that we have tried to push forward with a new voice expression. We have written several songs and the songs, singing that suits them, She seems to constantly find new ways to interpret each song in the best possible way.

It is especially to someone who has sung for so long can continue to develop their voice and opportunities of it.

The first time I saw you live where on Roskilde Festival for a number of years ago. The thing that struck me is how flexible the band is on stage, and how much Sharon springer around and still sounds she never out of breath.

-Yes, there is also a challenge. It is approximately the same as for each album, that she must practice at the beginning to learn new vocal expression. At the start is the toughest to her. Live after all she must move and breathe and it takes a lot of energy.

On tour, it will gradually, how she must breathe and when she can rest and get a break. It is a very nice balance.

On tour
You recently played in Rotterdam. Played you some new songs and how did the fans receive against them?

"It was a kind of festival with various Dutch bands. We opened it up and played three songs, but "Faster" was one of them, the audience was not only to our fans but a General Dutch audience. The good thing is that you can see the reactions from people who were there on Twitter. I have not seen many who do not have liked the song yet.

You are going to Sweden on your tour in the autumn. Have you already completed everything that relates to the production, scenkulisser and cool clothes?

-No, no not at all, it's the advantage of Sharon's pregnancy. We have had more time (Laughs). Right now, we do much promotion, but in the beginning of March we are focusing on the new show. There are a lot of work we will integrate all the movies and try to get with the cast in 3D.

It will be very fun to do, but fortunately, we have plenty of time to test everything properly.

//Interview: Johan Persson

Una extravagante

Citar
Sharon den Adel: “No duermo en un ataúd”

La banda gótica holandesa Within Temptation ganó un World Music Award. ¿Extravagante? Sí­, pero esa no es la cosa más extravagante que la vocalista Sharon den Adel ha vivido hasta ahora.

¿Cuál es el álbum mas extravagante en el que has trabajado?

Sharon den Adel: El álbum de Delain, la banda de Martijn Westerholt, quien, por un tiempo, hizo música con nosotros en “Within Temptation”. Delain habí­a recibido una nominación a los MTV awards en la misma categorí­a que nosotros: “New Sounds of Europe”. Aunque hacemos el mismo tipo de música, Martijn por ningún motivo es la competencia. Nos ayudamos mutuamente.

¿Cuál es el lugar más extravagante en el que has sido fotografiada?

Sharon den Adel: En medio de la nada a temperaturas bajo cero en una reserva nacional. Me tuve que maquillar y cambiarme de ropa en la cocina de un restaurante, entre los cocineros. Eso era mejor que cambiarme en los baños sucios.

¿Cuál es el lugar más extravagante en el que has dado un concierto?

Sharon den Adel: Hay diferentes lugares: En la mitad de la noche en la estación de trenes en Valencia, el desierto en Dubái y un festival en Japón. Al principio los adolescentes estaban muy tranquilos escuchando el discurso de apertura, luego del cual empezaron a hacer headbanging sin parar, desde la primera nota musical. Tení­a miedo de que nadie fuera a venir porque tení­amos que hacer el concierto a mediodí­a, pero la arena se lleno de freníéticos amantes de la música.

¿Cual es la reacción mas extravagante que has recibido de un fan?

Sharon den Adel: Habí­a un hombre que tení­a tres fotos mí­as tatuadas en su cuerpo. Hicieron un buen trabajo con los tatuajes, pero aun así­â€¦

¿Cual es el chisme más extravagante que han dicho sobre ti?

Sharon den Adel: Que todos en la banda bebemos sangre y que dormimos en ataúdes. No lo hacemos.

¿Cuál es el beso más extravagante que te han dado?

Sharon den Adel: Mi primer beso. Tení­a 12 o 13 años y el chico esperaba un beso con lengua, pero eso no fue lo que obtuvo. Al final el beso se convirtió en un simple beso en la mejilla. En segundo lugar están los besos de los fans, que me tratan de besar en la boca. Siempre trato de esquivarlos en el último momento volteando la cabeza.

Sobre el canto

Citar
¿Cuándo empezaste a cantar? ¿Quíé te motivo a entrar al mundo de la música?

Sharon: Si les creo a mis padres, pude cantar antes de poder hablar. Pero bien, así­ son los padres, no es verdad? Cuando tení­a 4 años, recibí­a dinero semanal de mis padres, pero debí­a ser gastado solo en música. “Gracias” a la recomendación de mi hermano, una vez compre y lleve a casa la versión de “Wars of the world” de Jeff Wayne. Todaví­a tengo ese cassette. Me empezó a gustar esta música, pero a decir verdad era algo aterrorizante para una niña de 4 años Siempre habí­a música en casa. Deep Purple, Santana, Pink Floyd y Queen, ese tipo de música. Cuando tení­a 12 años entre seriamente en el canto.

¿Cual fue tu primera banda?

Sharon: Cuando tení­a 14 años tome un curso en una escuela de música sobre como formar una banda. Un año despuíés estaba cantando en una banda de Blues Rock: Kashiro. Tocábamos covers de Van Halen, Journey, Pink Floyd, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Queen, The Red Hot Chili Peppers y muchos más.

¿Cuáles fueron tus influencias cuando eras joven? ¿En estos momentos tienes algún/a cantante favorito/a?

Sharon: Cuando era niña, era una gran fan de Olivia Newton-John. Hoy en dí­a me gusta escuchar a Tori Amos y Emma Shapplin. Si se trata de cantantes masculinos, me gusta escuchar bandas como Muse, HIM y Nirvana, pero tiene mucho con el tipo de música que tocan, eso tiene mucha importancia para mí­. No puedo separar esas dos cosas.

¿Alguna vez tomaste lecciones de canto? ¿Cuáles son tus estudios musicales?

Sharon: Cante por un tiempo en un coro, solo para aprender una manera diferente de cantar. Tambiíén, Por un periodo corto tiempo, tomíé lecciones con un estudiante de un conservatorio. La mayorí­a de las cosas las aprendí­ por mí­ misma, gracias al estudio y a la práctica de canciones que me gustaban hasta que podí­a cantar todas las partes difí­ciles. Cuando notaba que me dolí­a la garganta porque trataba de cantar una parte difí­cil. Buscaba la manera de cantar que no me causara dolor. A mis vecinos y a mis padres les molestaba mucho cuando estaba practicando la misma parte muchas veces.

¿Quíé crees que hace a un buen cantante?

Sharon: Creo que un buen cantante tiene que poder conmover a las personas de forma emocional. Si se trata de la tíécnica.

Definitivamente debe tener una base, pero depende en el tipo de música que hagas. Madonna tal vez no es la mejor cantante del mundo, pero una canción como “The power of goodbye” todaví­a me conmueve profundamente, y tambiíén me gusta el sonido de su voz. El cantante de The Cure no siempre canta en tono, pero todaví­a me fascina, me transporta a un ambiente particular. El poder de Tori Amos yace en sus melodí­as, las letras de sus canciones y su personalidad.

Para ser honesta. No creo que haya unas reglas especiales que un cantante debe seguir, ya que todos experimentamos la música de manera diferente. A parte de eso, cada estilo musical tiene un propósito diferente y evoca diferentes emociones. Para ser una cantante de metal tienes que tener diferentes cualidades que un cantante de reggae o R’n'B

¿Cual crees que es tu fuerte como cantante?

Sharon: Creo que mi fuerte es que puedo hacer diferentes cosas con mi voz.

¿Cuáles son tus canciones preferidas para cantar en el escenario?

Sharon: The Promise y Caged.

¿Cuales son tus intereses y pasatiempos a parte de la música?

Sharon: Libros de fantasí­a, pelí­culas, tomar un paseo en la naturaleza, la moda, pintar… En realidad tengo muchos pasatiempos, para los que ya no tengo mucho tiempo. Pero no deberí­a quejarme, ya que mi mayor pasatiempo es la música.

The prequel of “The Unforgiving” is almost at it’s end. Bad news? No!
This only means that it’s just a matter of time before you can read the first edition of “The Unforgiving”.

The prequel is officially called “Perdition” and will be printed combined with the first edition of “The Unforgiving”.

For now, enjoy page 7  of “Perdition”.

Very important: mention the Youtube link and your e-mailaddress in the message field! You can upload and submit your short films as of March 25th. The deadline will be April 22nd.

It will be your own responsibility to obtain a passport and valid visa for the USA. You will need to arrange for your own transport to and from the airports of departure or arrival.

Transcripción del corto Siníéad

Citar
Inglíés:

Although distant, I still hear the tormented cries, the damned, the anguished fallen. They still haunt my dreams. A philosopher once wrote: “Every man is guilty of all the good he didn’t do.” I so believe that. My guilt defies any punishment. My craving desire to make right what’s wrong it’s away of the very core of my being. In simplest terms, I need to clean the slate.

Names aren’t important. But for the record, I was born Siníéad Harkin, in Dublin, Ireland. It was quite some time ago. Gone is the little freckle-faced girl I once saw in the mirror looking back in time. Innocence replaced by death.

- Da...daddy… I just…
- Goddammit, Siníéad!
- I just wanted to…
- This is what it comes now? Stealing from your own family… Have you no shame?
- I’m sorry. I just need a few quid, OK? And then I’ll go, I swear!
- What you need is help, not money!
- Please don’t be like this.
- Like what? Like a father who still gives a damn?
- I’ll… I’ll get help. Just a few quid.
- How… how am I supposed to believe that? It’s just more of your damned lies.
- You shut up!
- Goddammit, Siníéad! I’m just trying to help you!
- I’ll get help, OK?
- Come on… If you don’t give a damn about yourself, at least do it for little Susie.
- Susie? How is she?
- She needs a mother!
- I can’t.
- Yes, you can!
- No! It’s too late. … Susie! Hi sweetie! Granddad and I are just having a talk, Susie. How you doing in school? You doing good?
- Leave!
- I just wanna give her a… kiss…
- Get out of my house!
- She is my daughter!
- Get the hell out of my house!

I was murdered only a year after I killed my father, although a part of me died the night I took his life. Right then in there I gave up any chance of seeing my child grow up. Stupid girl… Once again, I’m one of the damned, a cursed fallen.

Español:

Aunque lejanos, aun escucho los gritos atormentados de los descarriados condenados y angustiados. Todaví­a se me aparecen en sueños. Un filósofo escribió una vez: “todo hombre es culpable del bien que no hizo”. Yo tambiíén pienso eso. Mi culpa desafí­a a cualquier castigo. Mi ardiente deseo de hacer bien lo que está mal está lejos de la misma esencia de mi ser. Hablando claro, necesito hacer borrón y cuenta nueva.

Los nombres no importan. Pero para dejar constancia, nací­ como Siníéad Harkin, en Dublí­n, Irlanda. Fue hace bastante tiempo. Nada queda ya de esa niña con pecas que una vez vi en el espejo. Inocencia reemplazada por muerte.

- Pa… papá… Yo sólo…
- ¡Maldita sea, Siníéad!
- Sólo querí­a…
- ¿Hasta esto has llegado? Robar a tu propia familia… ¿Es que no tienes vergí¼enza?
- Lo siento. Sólo necesito un poco de dinero, ¿vale? Y despuíés me iríé, ¡lo juro!
- ¡Lo que necesitas es ayuda, no dinero!
- Por favor, no seas así­.
- ¿Así­ cómo? ¿Quieres que sea como un padre al que aun le importas algo?
- Yo… conseguiríé ayuda. Sólo un poco de dinero…
- ¿Cómo… cómo pretendes que me lo crea? Son solo más malditas mentiras de las tuyas.
- ¡Cállate!
- ¡Maldita sea, Siníéad! ¡Sólo intento ayudarte!
- Conseguiríé ayuda, ¿vale?
- Por favor… Si no te preocupas de ti misma, al menos preocúpate de la pequeña Susi.
- ¿Susi? ¿Cómo está?
- ¡Necesita una madre!
- No puedo.
- ¡Sí­! ¡Sí­ puedes!
- ¡No! Es demasiado tarde. … ¡Susi! ¡Hola cariño! El abuelo y yo sólo estamos hablando. ¿Cómo te va en el colegio? ¿Te va bien?
- ¡Vete!
- Sólo quiero darle un… beso…
- ¡Vete de mi casa!
- ¡Es mi hija!
- ¡Vete de mi casa de una maldita vez!

Me asesinaron sólo un año despuíés de matar a mi padre, aunque una parte de mí­ murió la misma noche en la que le quitíé la vida. En aquíél mismo momento desechíé toda posibilidad de ver crecer a mi hija. Quíé estúpida… Una vez más, soy uno de esos condenados, descarriados, malditos.

The latest CD from Within Temptation is a change of pace for the band, both musically and lyrically. The Unforgiving is based on a comic book created especially for the band, with the lyrics corresponding to the story in the comic book. Musically, Within Temptation's style of melodic and symphonic metal is intact, but they add some rock and pop influences as well. Vocalist Sharon den Adel explains how the album concept was developed, their tour plans (which were delayed until after she has a baby), her interests outside music and other topics

Chad Bowar: You recently got a new drummer. How did you find him?
Sharon den Adel: Mike is someone who filled in before for Stephen. He's someone we've worked with and a friend, and we know what we're getting with him. He does a great job

You've had a relatively stable lineup over the years except for drummers. There has been a revolving door of new ones. How come?
It's a Spinal Tap kind of thing! (laughs) I don't know why we've had so many.

Your new album The Unforgiving is a concept album based on a comic book. Was it an existing story, or something written specifically for you?
It was specifically written for us. We helped develop it. The basic story came from Steven O'Connell, and we gave him some ideas of our own. We also worked with Romano Molenaar, who was the artist. He worked on the Wolverine comic in America.

How did the idea of the comic come about?
There were two main reasons we chose to do the comic. One was because we grew up with bands that did a lot of concept albums in the late '70s and '80s. Also because we grew up with comic books and liked them. The past five years a lot of movies based on comic books came out, and it reminded us how much we enjoyed them. This album brings back some of the musical influences of the '80s. We wanted to bring some of that back. Nowadays everything is about downloading and just one song.

Did basing the album on the comic book change the songwriting process?
The lyrics are based on the comic. It's a soundtrack to the story. But you really have to read the comic to understand the lyrics, and vice versa.

What is the timing of the release of the comics, and how many of them will there be?
There will be six comic parts coming out. It's one story, divided into six different parts. One will be released every two months. The prequel is available now on the website. The first comic will be published at the same time the album comes out. They will be downloadable and in paperback.

How would you describe the sound of the album?
With our previous album we had a concept in our minds how we wanted it to sound. After that album we felt we finalized our sound and couldn't do any better. We wanted to take a step in a new direction, explore a little bit again. We ended up getting inspired by bands from the '80s; not just metal bands like Iron Maiden, but pop bands like Frankie Goes To Hollywood and their song “The Power Of Love” with the synthesizer sound from the '80s. We didn't do it in every song, though.

You worked with producer Daniel Gibson again. What is it about his style that's such a good fit for you?
He's become a friend. When you start with a new producer, it takes a long time to get to know each other. Why split up something that works? We're always on the same wavelength. We grow together toward a new sound each time, and really complement each other.

In addition to the comic books, you also filmed some short films to accompany the CD.
We felt like some of the backgrounds of the main characters in the comics weren't explained a lot, so we made some short movies. They give a bigger and clearer picture of the background of the characters.

With every album you've become more successful, garnering more fans and playing bigger venues. Does that increase your expectations for this album?
No, not really. Every time we have to prove ourselves again. You're only as good as your last album, that's how we see it. There's always a question if people will like it, because we always change a little bit, and if they will go along with the changes and understand what we're trying to do creatively.

You originally planned to tour in conjunction with the CD release, but you pushed it back for a very good reason.
Yes, you could say that. I'm pregnant, so we had to postpone the tour for a few months. But it gives us some time to prepare a better live show. Normally we are rushing to tour, but we can figure out how to do a really cool light show with screens showing the short movies and maybe work with 3D holograms and things like that.

You're doing one show in the US this spring. Will it be a regular show, or an acoustic type concert?
We haven't really thought about it yet, because it's still down the road a while. Everything's possible, but we'll give it our best. We want to give the fans everything we can.

Do you think you'll be adding more U.S. dates, or will it just be that one show?
It will be just the one show to promote the new album, but maybe we'll come back soon after with a full tour. For a bigger tour we'll have to wait until next year, because we're already booked for the full year.

How would you compare trying to break through and attract a fan base in Europe compared to North America?
It's difficult, for different reasons. North America is bigger, so getting where you go requires traveling a lot of miles. Everything in Europe is close by. That's one thing. Also the culture is different. You see that with radio stations. It's very divided in America. In Europe in certain regions, everybody listens to certain stations. In America everything is more scattered. And when it comes to heavier music, they aren't used to as many female voices on the radio. It's more male dominated.

We actually made two radio versions of our single. In Europe they are more orchestral oriented, and America is more guitar oriented. It's interesting to see the differences in different countries, how people experience music and what they like about your music. You can't please everybody, you can only be who you are.

What are some countries you haven't played live yet that you'd still like to get to?
Australia. We have a lot of requests to play there, but want to combine it with Japan or another country in that part of the world because it's so far away. So far we haven't made it, but hopefully on this album we can go there. It's always nice to travel to different countries.

Ever played a show in an unusual venue?
Yes. We played in Spain in a train station. That was pretty weird. We had to wait until after the trains stopped running to play, at about midnight. It was cool to play there, but it was difficult to get the sound right. It's not really designed for a band to play there, so we had a lot of things to deal with to get a good sound. We played in Germany in some old ruins in the middle of the forest near a river. It was very cool as well. It was a great view, and playing in nature was very impressive.

How involved are you in social media?
I post some messages on the internet. When we have something interesting to say we'll post it. We also talk about our hobbies. Robert likes racing and makes videos about that. The really personal things like the kids you don't get to see. Sometimes now with the social media, people post every little thing.

Which platform do you like the best?
Twitter, because it's very short and easy.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of music?
I have a lot of things I like. I'm getting more interested in racing. I also play tennis, which isn't as interesting.

Cómic y música se suelen dar la mano con cierta frecuencia.
 
En ocasiones, experimentados dibujantes y artistas gráficos se encargan de diseñar las portadas de los discos. Otras veces el comic lleva a sus viñetas la figuras mí­ticas

Y un cómic tambiíén puede acabar inspirando una composición musical, eso es lo que ha ocurrido con The Unforgiving el nuevo álbum del grupo de rock sinfónico Within Temptation, que se basa en el cómic de idíéntico tí­tulo cuyas entregas irán apareciendo a lo largo de 2011.
 
El guión de Unforgiving está escrito por el norteamericano Steve o’Connell, autor tambiíén de BloodRayne y Dark 48, y el arte corre a cargo del holandíés Romano Molenaar, cuyos dibujos hemos visto en series como Witchblade, Darkness y X-Men.
 
Una historia sobrenatural
 
La historia se centra en Sinead Harkin, una joven traí­da de nuevo a la vida por Mother Maiden, una míédium que recluta almas perdidas para formar parte de su grupo de espectros, cada uno de los cuales, lleva una culpa especí­fica sobre algo que hicieron en sus vidas pasadas.
 
Mother Maiden les da la oportunidad para redimirse “haciendo lo correcto”, combatiendo el mal como penitencia por sus pecados de su vida mortal.
 
La precuela de ocho páginas la serie se puede descargar de forma gratuita en la página de internet del grupo musical www.within-temptation.com.
 
En total serán seis números y el primero, en formato grapa de 40 páginas, se puede encargar a travíés de su misma web. De momento no tenemos noticias de ninguna editorial española que vaya a publicarlo…
 
Un grupo musical aficionado al cómic
 
Los integrantes de Within Temptation se aficionaron a los comics a finales de los 80, y la música que sonaba en esa díécada ha dejado huella en sus nuevas canciones, que han sido escritas siguiendo la lí­nea argumental de Steve o’Connell.
 
De este modo podemos considerar que las 12 piezas que integran la grabación funcionarí­an perfectamente como banda sonora de la serie, complementando a nivel sonoro los ambientes y las situaciones que se muestran en las viñetas.
 
Además, tambiíén se han rodado varios cortos con la música del grupo, para desarrollar más la historia.
 
The Unforgiving es una interesante propuesta conceptual que diluye las fronteras entre el cómic y la música, toda una experiencia multimedia.

Entrevista!!

Citar
Momentos llenos de trabajo para la cantante Sharon den Adel de la banda de metal sinfónico Within Temptation. Ella y los chicos tienen mucho íéxito alrededor del mundo: su último CD fue lanzado en 34 paí­ses, y ha vendido millones hasta la actualidad.
 
¿Quien es Sharon den Adel?
 
Nombre: Sharon Janny den Adel
 Fecha de nacimiento: 12 de Julio de 1974
 Lugar de nacimiento: Waddinxveen
 Residencia actual: Soest
 
Estudios realizados: Mavo (ahora llamado VMBO: (voorbereidend middelbaar beroepsonderwijs, literalmente significa, “Preparatoria de nivel medio de educacion aplicada”), estudios universitarios en gerencia de modas.
 
Relación de pareja: con su novio de la secundaria Robert Westerholt (guitarrista de Within Temptation). Juntos tienen 3 hijos: Luna, Aiden y Logan.
 
Carrera: Fundó Within Temptation 1996. El íéxito empezó en el 2001 con ‘Ice Queen’. El íéxito en toda Europa, Japón, Australia, Estados Unidos y Sudamíérica sucedió unos años despuíés. La banda vendió más de 2 millones de discos y DVDs, y gano muchos premios como los TMF y 3FM awards.
 
¡Caramba!, es muy difí­cil hacer una cita para una entrevista contigo.
 
Sharon: Si. Síé que tomo algo de tiempo, pero en un algún momento nos dimos cuenta de que andábamos de gira demasiado. Tomamos una pausa y cancelamos todo.
 
¿Cuándo te das cuenta de que necesitas tomártelo con calma?
 
Sharon: Oh, hay muchos signos. No tengo mucha paciencia y todos los demás miembros de la banda se irritan mucho más fácilmente que yo. Cuando estábamos de gira en Amíérica, mi abuela murió. En esos momentos, necesitas tomarte un tiempo para ti y para tu familia en casa.
 
¿Tu abuela era especial para ti?
 
Sharon: Si. Mis padres son unos verdaderos expatriados; mi padre tení­a que viajar mucho por su trabajo. Cuando tení­a 18, mis padres se fueron de Holanda otra vez, pero yo me quede aquí­ y me mude con Robert (El novio de Sharon y guitarrista de la banda). Si habí­a algún problema, mi abuela me cuidaba. Ella demostraba mucho interíés y era activa como abuela.

Fui a su entierro, pero no pude hacer nada, ni ayudar con los preparativos, porque estaba en Amíérica. Tienes la oportunidad de superar esa muerte, antes de que entierren a tu ser querido. Hubiera significado mucho para mí­ si hubiera podido hacer eso con mi abuela. No todos tienen la fuerza de hacerlo, pero soy el tipo de persona que le gusta encarar las cosas. Creo que es aterrador, pero tambiíén una experiencia invaluable, hacer a alguien hermoso antes de que se cierre el ataúd para siempre.

En muchos momentos quiero estar allí­ desde el principio hasta el final. Ahora, iríé al fondo del asunto, si alguien que amo está muriendo, quiero acompañar a esta persona hasta el final. Solo entonces tengo la impresión de que he hecho lo correcto.
 
Los fans piden mucho de ti, ¿Cómo lidias con eso?
 
Sharon: Bueno, es difí­cil para mí­ poner lí­mites. Eso es algo que estoy aprendiendo ahora. Siempre quiero estar allí­ para los fans. Bien, no soy Frans Bauer invitando a mis fans a mi casa para hacerles un cafíé, pero despuíés de un concierto, usualmente nos tomamos un tiempo para conocer a nuestros fans. Aunque a veces pienso: Ahora no. Si no me siento bien, o si tengo un ataque de migraña o algo así­; puede ser una de estas 2 cosas. Todos tienen sus momentos cuando se sienten muy bien y cuando no se sienten tan bien.
 
¿Los fans de todo el mundo reaccionan igual?
 
Sharon: Estuvimos en Croacia, y fue una histeria total. Como con los Beatles, con fans gritando. Pero la mayor parte del tiempo, afortunadamente las personas no me reconocen cuando camino por la calle con mi ropa normal. En el escenario, por supuesto me veo más extravagante. Asistí­ a la pasarela de Marlies Dekkers, y en frente de mi estaban unos Video Jockeys de TMF y Daphne Deckers. Estaban siendo entrevistados por un periodista, y no me reconocieron, entonces yo estaba sentada allí­, sintiíéndome sensacional y tan anónima como cualquier otra persona.
 
¿Puedes caminar por la calle en otros paí­ses sin un guardaespaldas?
 
Sharon: En Míéxico no, por ejemplo. Al menos no cerca del local donde vayamos a tocar. Entonces, realmente nuestra integridad se ve amenazada por los fans. Siempre y cuando haya un hombre grande y fuerte a mi lado, no tengo miedo, jajaja. Pero dos fans con una actitud verdaderamente relajada nos mostraron los templos Mayas. Eso fue realmente especial.

Aunque somos conocidos por un gran grupo de personas, no todos nos conocen. No somos una banda extremadamente famosa, y no buscamos publicidad. Aunque en los últimos años nos dimos a conocer más, porque llegamos a aparecer en MTV y TMF.
 
Viajas mucho alrededor del mundo. ¿Quíé haces con esas experiencias?
 
Sharon: A veces, pienso en escribir un libro sobre todas nuestras experiencias. Una historia sobre una bandas y como manejan vivir todas estas experiencias. No tomo notas, todo está en mi cabeza. En realidad somos unas personas sensatas y nos tomamos el tiempo de terminar nuestros estudios universitarios. Eso no funcionaria ahora, somos muy conocidos. A parte de eso muchas personas trabajan para nosotros y somos responsables por ellos.

Este año tocamos más en Holanda y en Europa que el año anterior, con la idea de tomar un descanso luego y escribir nuevas canciones. Viajar es algo que trae mucha aventura, pero tambiíén te debilita. Al principio tení­a una idea romántica sobre viajar, tipo: comida deliciosa y salir de compras en una ciudad desconocida, pero eso se esfumo. Por eso es que prefiero nuestro autobús de la gira que el avión: por la noche entramos, tomamos algo y nos vamos a dormir, para así­ despertar al dí­a siguiente en otro paí­s.
 
Cuando eras niña viviste en muchos paí­ses con culturas diferentes. ¿De quíé manera te afecto eso?
 
Sharon: Tuve una niñez especial. Nuestra familia vivió en Yemen, Surinam e Indonesia. Aprendí­ mucho sobre otras culturas. Gracias a eso era una niña madura: los niños en Holanda aprenden sobre paí­ses lejanos en la escuela y yo realmente vi los barrios pobres de Indonesia y los animales salvajes en ífrica. Tambiíén cambiaba de escuela continuamente, me tení­a que acostumbrar a nuevas culturas y no pude hacer amistades (lo que es una lástima por supuesto).

Recuerdo la ansiedad que reinaba en la íépoca de los asesinatos de Diciembre en Surinam (1982). Pero tambiíén recuerdo mi cumpleaños número 6, el cual celebre en un Safari con una velita en una hamburguesa, porque no habí­a pastel. Inolvidable. Viajábamos mucho. Mis padres siempre estaban en la busca de aventuras y nos llevaban, a mi hermano y a mí­, con ellos. Cuando regrese a Holanda a la edad de 10 años, me sentí­a más madura que otros niños de mi edad.
 
¿Tienes tiempo para las amistades en la actualidad?
 
Sharon: Tengo un par de buenos amigos. En realidad los abandone. Me di cuenta de esto el año pasado cuando estábamos tan ocupados: pierdes a las personas si no les das atención. Ellos entienden que tienes mucho trabajo, pero aun así­ desintegra una amistad. Ahora estoy tratando de corregir eso. Si las personas son especiales para ti, tienes que demostrárselo.

Lo que creo que es una lástima sobre ser famoso es que no sabes si alguien está interesado en ti, o solo están interesados en ti porque eres famoso. Aun así­ eso no me frustra, porque me doy cuenta de sus verdaderas intenciones. Tengo un sexto sentido para eso.
 
Tienes tres hijos, Logan, Aiden y Luna.
 
Sharon: ¡Sí­! Ellos a veces vienen de gira con nosotros, y una niñera. Algunas veces se quedan en casa con sus abuelos. Por ejemplo, en 2007 estuve lejos de casa por mucho tiempo. Luna era pequeña, entonces no fue un verdadero problema; ahora es muy difí­cil para ella separarse de mí­. Y no quiero que la separación le produzca ansiedad.
 
¿Cuánto tiempo te toma ponerte en modo de “cantante en gira”?
 
Sharon: Una semana antes del viaje, no estoy de buen humor, porque odio tener que dejar a mis hijos. Como cuando fuimos a Amíérica, fue difí­cil.

Pero una vez que estoy lejos, ya no es tan difí­cil, porque síé que están en buenas manos. Aun así­ pienso que el lugar de un niño es al lado de sus padres, por esa razón Robert (El padre de Luna, Aiden y Logan) y yo decidimos planear las siguientes giras de un modo diferente.
 
Leí­ en algún lugar que Robert y tu no eran, ni nunca han sido el tipo pareja que se la pasaban dándose muestras de afecto todo el dí­a.
 
Sharon: Es verdad. Nunca demostramos en público que somos una pareja. Por un lado es bueno para el ambiente en la banda, pero por otro lado, vamos de gira por mucho tiempo, y no tuvimos mucho tiempo para estar juntos como pareja. Cuando te das cuenta de eso, tienes que solucionarlo como cualquier otra pareja. Tenemos que encontrar un equilibrio, y ahora más que nunca, ya que tenemos tres hijos.
 
En el escenario eres una vampiresa. ¿Pero y en tu vida normal?
 
Sharon: En el escenario demuestro otra faceta de mi ser. Con un vestido precioso me siento más femenina y me puedo dejar llevar fácilmente. Sin esos vestidos creo que lo encontrarí­a más difí­cil. En mi vida normal soy o muy tranquila o muy estrepitosa. Ni siquiera algo intermedio. Puedo hablar de forma muy animada, pero a veces pienso: ¡Anda, no seas la aguafiestas, haz algo!
 
¿Quíé tipo de música escuchas?
 
Sharon: Solí­a escuchar mucha música grunge. Todaví­a lo hago, pero tambiíén me gusta Tori Amos y Kate Bush. Prefiero la música sentimental. No me gusta mucho la música pop, pero recientemente me empezó a gustar la música dance. De pronto me entro el gusto de bailar con esa música. ¡Nunca me habí­a sucedido eso!

Ahora tengo la mente abierta a todos los gíéneros musicales. Ya nos habí­an contactado unos cuantos DJs preguntándonos si podí­an hacer un remix con nuestras canciones, por primera vez estoy abierta a eso. Me gustarí­a más escribir yo misma una canción dance. Solo para ampliar mis horizontes. Aunque tambiíén me dejo llevar con nuestra música, porque es Celtica, sinfónica, metálica y rockera. Todaví­a pienso: ¿Porque no tomarme un dí­a libre y escribir una canción dance?

Ayer por la noche Within Temptation ganó un premio en la categorí­a “otros”.
 
Buma Music in Motion (BMIM) es un nuevo evento dedicado exclusivamente al uso innovador de la música en los medios de comunicación. Al ofrecer una conferencia de negocios y adjudicación este evento de un dí­a tiene como objetivo conectar las industrias creativas que les proporciona una plataforma para inspirarse, para compartir conocimientos, para hacer negocios, para obtener reconocimiento, discutir los últimos acontecimientos y el futuro de estos cambio.
 
La publicidad, la radiodifusión, juegos, entre otros, durante díécadas esta industria integró la música en sus productos. Pero, ¿cómo se está adaptando la música en el paisaje multimedia cambiante de hoy?
 
Buma Music in Motion (BMIM) ha encontrado una respuesta a esa pregunta en el concepto de The Unforgiving. Y por supuesto Within Temptation está muy agradecidos por el premio!
 
La innovación, creación, buenas ideas, todo eso combinado con grandiosas composiciones y melodí­as es lo que hace de The Unforgiving uno de los mejores discos del año.

A great new WT TV Report, featuring Robert!
 
Two years ago a friend took me to the racing track in Zolder (Belgium)…just for fun. Well this ‘just for fun’ resulted in me getting a heavy virus, one that will probably stay with me for the rest of my life…the ‘racing virus

Until now this virus has resulted in several crashes, a lot of technical problems and frustrations. Luckily this addiction now also has positive sides. In my first two racing seasons in the ‘Aprisco Cup‘ I got my racing license, my racing skills, experience and technical car knowledge improved considerably and I even managed to win a race. Most importantly though the thrill, excitement and fun I’m having is gigantic, kind of what I’m having on stage.
 
This year I’m taking on a new racing challenge. I will be driving ‘The Unforgiving’ race car, a BMW M3, in a new racing league called ‘The Dutch GTC Renova M3 cup‘.
 
In this competition I will be racing against drivers who will all have the same kind of car with the same performance as I have. So no excuses here, it’s all about driver’s skills. Then again though technically my car is just the same as all other cars,…there is only one ‘The Unforgiving’ race car and luckily I’m driving it.
 
So for all of you who are curious about how ‘The Unforgiving’ is doing on the racetrack, you will be able to follow it all through video reports, onboard race footage, Twitter and Facebook.

‘Til soon on stage or on the racing track !
 
Your ‘Unforgiving’ race driver
 Robert
’.

What is going to happen on August 12th?
 
Dear Fans,
 
Time flies as they say,  so we want to update you on our special concert event of 2011! August 12th 2011, is the date Within Temptation will return to the stages on our own First Challenge concert in Ulft, in the Netherlands. Why First Challenge ? Well, we are working on a very special show for that concert and it’s our first headline show for the Unforgiving album. Believe us, it will be a challenge… but it’s a great challenge to which we look forward to very much.
 
There’s many things we need to get done before we can welcome you at The First Challenge. One of it is fitness – that’s why Sharon has uploaded the TV report on her fitness program. Expect more of that soon.
 
What will happen at the First Challenge concert?
 
We can’t reveal too much of the planning at this early stage, but our setlist is going to be a unique one as we shall play the full Unforgiving album  – and  the story will come to life on stage with the new design of the stage, lights, video footage and illusions, etc.etc. Expect Sharon to show off her new stage clothing and make-up  and we will play a set of rare  Within Temptation classics and a greatest hits ….
 
But, The First Challenge will not only be unique Within Temptation concert, it will be a Within Temptation happening. As we know that many of our fans will come from far, we would like to thank you all with a rich and entertaining program. As a little appetizer, it will involve the Unforgiving race car, a party and many other things we still have to decide on. We are working hard to make this a once in a lifetime show for you and ourselves – so make sure to book your tickets sooner, rather than later, the location is not that big….
 
For our fans from abroad: The “First Challenge” will be held in Ulft (NL), a city with 10,000 inhabitants, only 30 minutes from the border to Germany within easy reach to several international airports if you come from far. The main airports are: Amsterdam (NL) Brussels (B), Dí¼sseldorf (D), Cologne (D), however many low cost carriers fly to Weeze airport in Germany just 60 km from Ulft, click here for more information.
 
There’s a festival camping you can book, you can also click here to find out more about local hotels and transport options! We hope to see you there!
 
Sharon, Robert, Mike, Ruud, Martijn, Jeroen.

As you know this isn’t a really big venue, so tickets will be limited. That’s why we’ve created a special link for our biggest fans, where they can buy tickets before the general on sale date, which is Monday May 23rd. On Friday morning May 20th we will be posting a link on the Facebook event we have created for this.

Siníéad, our new single: something different in many ways!
 
Both in the story of ‘The Unforgiving’ as well as on the album, ‘Siníéad‘ has always been a favorite of all of us. She is a character with a lot of different opposite sides to her, just like the song. It is catchy and feel good but at the same time emotional and melancholic. So from the start it was quite clear that Siníéad would be released as a single from this album.
 
In the past with single releases, we’ve very often added bonus tracks like live tracks, b-sides or acoustic versions. This time we also wanted to bring something extra to the release of Siníéad, but just like the song itself something new and fresh. As the dance influences in Siníéad are so obvious we thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if ‘real’ dance artist would remix the track.
 
So we approached Benno de Goeij, who we knew from the corporation with Armin van Buuren in “In and out of Love“) . VNV Nation, who often perform at the same festivals as we do like M’era Luna and last but not least Scooter (who used Sharon’s vocal track from Pale on ‘State of Mind‘. They all responded very enthusiastic and each of them put a lot of effort in it to make it happen despite their busy schedules.
 
So also from here we would like to thank them for the time and passion they’ve put into it and of course for the great end result. They have made this single release a very special and an exciting one for us. We hope you’ll enjoy this new experiences just as much as we have!
 
We hate to let you guys wait… but more information on the Siníéad release will be announced soon!
 
From your band who despite the music still can’t dance

You all know that “Siníéad” has been chosen as the second single of The Unforgiving.

With undeniable disco grooves, we took the opportunity to further enhance the track’s dance floor appeal; commissioning special remixes from four acclaimed dance producers. Some time ago we already announced 3 producers:
 
Benno De Goeij delivers a sparkling trance radio mix. De Goeij is best known for his work with Dutch superstar DJs Tiesto and Armin van Buuren.
 
Scooter, one of Germany’s most successful techno groups abroad. Scooter: “Sharon’s voice and the bombastic Rock of Within Temptation are a truly unique mixture. It was a pleasure for us to contribute our mix for Siníéad”.
 
Irish/ British duo VNV Nation has contributed a stylish, electro-industrial mix. VNV Nation is one of the most innovative groups in the international electro EBM scene. We will also share the stage with VNV Nation at the M’era Luna Festival in August.
 
And the fourth producer that will remix Siníéad is: Groove Coverage’s. Their strength is the ability to find the perfect balance between melancholia and power. Many of their hit mixes such as “Poison”, a cover of Alice Cooper’s successfully travelled around the world.
 
Choosing to release “Siníéad” as the follow-up  single, underlines our ambition to break down the walls between musical genres. We’re excepting Siníéad to be released in the beginning of July. And of course we’ll update you on any release dates in the near future.
 
With every single release comes a videoclip. We’re proud to show you the official videoclip of Siníéad. Enjoy!

The First Challenge
 by Sharon den Adel
 Translated by Mitsy Haeck

 I am very sporty by nature. I play tennis, I often jog and I like to go to the gym for, among others, Body Combat and Body Pump with various weights. That is not as violent as it sounds by the way.
 These exercises won’t make my muscles to grow, it’s just working out to good music.

 At the beginning of my pregnancy, I still was still working out, but not for too long. This because I carry a bacterium, called streptococcus. Firstly, this causes an extra heavy pregnancy: it feels like a full shopping bag that is too heavy but it is stuck on your belly, tending to tear any time. When I pregnant for five months I hadn’t gained that much weight actually, but nevertheless I got the feeling that if I didn’t take it slow things could go wrong. Because, secondly, the bacterium causes premature births. My first two kids both came two months too early; when it turned out I was pregnant for the third time, I decided to take it extra easy.

 It is hard for me to take things slow because I just can’t sit doing nothing. During the pregnancy I felled trapped in my own body because of that big belly. This time, again, I was thrilled that the baby was out so I could do things my way again. So, after three days, I was riding my bike yet again. We went to the other side of the village to get some icecream with the kids. The people in our street looked kinda surprised: you just gave…? But I felt fine! After a week you could find me on the tennis court again.

 During this last pregnancy I gained 20 kilos. I want to reach my former weight, but that’s not my primary goal. The most important aim is to get in shape, so I will be able to handle the stage again. Though, I find it important to achieve this in a responsible way. Crash diets aren’t my cup of tea anyway and I don’t want to set a wrong example for young fans. I will be working out with responsible coaching, starting with a personal trainer. More about that next week!

is well known that Robert and Sharon make amazing music, but did you know that they are also great tennis players?
 
Friday, the 3rd of June, fans got the chance to learn about their not to be underestimated tennis skills. Marten de Vries, tennis instructor and initiator of this unique event, was present at the tennis court for a full 24 hours of tennis instruction, competition and fun. You might think that it is madness, but doing it for a good cause changes things. Marten dedicated his 24 hours tennis marathon to charity KiKa. This organization has the goal to raise money so new research can be done for kids with cancer. The research is focusing on a treatment less painful, a higher percentage of kids who will be without cancer and have a better quality of life when they are older.

The sun was shining brightly, causing a surprisingly warm day for this time of the year. Of course, this was precisely the day Sharon and Robert had to play tennis. A lot of tennis. They participated in the marathon from 12:00 till 17:00, interspersed with well-deserved breaks, drinks and popsicles of course! Armed with bottles of water, sunglasses and a cap the two took part in kicking off the event, accompanied by local radio and television crews. Kim-Lian van der Meij, Dutch musical actress, presenter and a singer-songwriter, also participated in Marten’s marathon for KiKa

After Sharon and Robert’s participation was announced on the website, Marten received many subscriptions for the tennis lessons with them. Some of these subscribers came all the way from Germany and Austria to seize the opportunity to play tennis with members of their favorite band.
 
But guess what! They did not need lessons at all. When Marten asked for some feedback, one of the girls said laughing “Well, Sharon hits the ball hard! It’s difficult!”. And yes, difficult it was. Since I never had really played tennis before, playing with and against these two pros was challenging but definitely fun fun fun! Them, been playing for about two seasons now, teaching us the basic tennis skills like forehand, backhand and, obviously, the serve. It must be said that there were not only newcomers among the fans. It was quite obvious that some of the fans had already played tennis before or just paid great attention to games on TV.
 
Time flies when you are having fun; it is true. The hour was passed before we all knew it and the next group was already waiting to get instructed by Marten. Pretty tired but satisfied we left the tennis court and went inside to cool down, chat and, apparently, take group pictures of this unforgettable day. Eventually, after 24 hours, Marten raised more than 4000 euros for KiKa. A wonderful amount, well done!
 
Thanks everyone for your efforts and enthusiasm.

When you think about it, it's actually quite weird that there are no gyms with a special schedule for women who want to get in shape again after they gave birth. It just must be a gap in the market! Many women don't lose all the weight they gained during the pregnancy and because of that most women are 5 kilos heavier after they gave birth.
 
Well, not me! I want to fit back into my old clothes as soon as possible. So, two weeks after I gave birth I was dying to work out again. It was quite disappointing when the maternity nurse told me that I shouldn't train my abs until six weeks after delivery; otherwise the work out could be counterproductive.
 
Since my own gym doesn't have a 'post pregnancy program' either, I decided to talk with the manager and a personal trainer. To me it seemed especially important that the trainer and I would click. Because, well, I must be able to accept that person frequently kicking my ass (mentally).
 
It turned out to be alright. Esther is one tough cookie with a strong personality, making sure that I stay on the ball. Besides that she is a mother herself too and thus knows what it means. First, she asked me what I want to achieve and what I like and dislike in sport. Well, that was easy. Goal: to be in shape again at the 12th of August. Our first big concert, the First Challenge! Currently I weigh 68 kilos of which I want to lose 9. Likes: group lessons like Body Pump (with dumbbells) and Body Combat (combination of martial arts, to music). Hates: fitness! Only the idea of going to the gym for that can make me cranky already.
 
Esther looked a bit doubtful. She explained that after being pregnant for nine months it normally takes just about the same time to get back into shape again. “What you want is basically impossible, she concluded, “but we're going to try”.
 
I got an exercise plan for three sessions a week. One lesson Body Pump, one lesson Body Combat and, unfortunately, fitness. The most I hate the vibration plate. Yes, it does train your muscles extra intensively but I don't feel happy at all in those embarrassing positions. Yet, the treadmill is a challenge as well and because I am always afraid of falling off I prefer to hold myself. Well, that is not possible when your trainer decides to give you two kilos weight in each hand. Luckily, I am promised that we will replace the fitness by an outdoor activity when we're halfway through the process. I can't wait!

Both in the story of ‘The Unforgiving’ as well as on the album, ‘Siníéad‘ has always been a favorite of all of us.

Like I said last week, is Body Pump one of the group lessons I attend. It's exercising with dumbbells. A lesson like this is effective and continues to work after finishing the exercises which I learned the hard way.
 
The very first time I tried a Body Pump class, it didn't look that hard to me. It must be easy, I decided. I was recommended to start with the bar only, without any weights attached. Of course, I refused. I wanted to feel at least something!
 
Thus, I attached considerable weight on each side of my bar. I was able to keep up with the lesson just fine. Afterwards I even doubted about going another time, since I didn't really like it and didn't have the feeling I acutally achieved something. 'Maybe you didn't do it the right way', somebody suggested, but I slunk away disappointed. Guess what: the next day I had such sore muscles I couldn't even get out of bed normally. From head to toe, every muscle hurt. And also a lot of muscles of which I never knew that I had them! My boyfriend, who heard me coming home grumbling the previous evening, died laughing.
 
Anyway, at least I found a lesson which showed me some results and I happily continued Body Pumping. The first lesson I recently participated in after months, so after my pregnancy, was great. I, of course, overextended myself because I was so happy to work out again. Conveniently, I forgot the lesson I learned the last time, starting with a bar without extra weights attached that is. It's always said that you can start where you left off. So stubborn as I am, I expected to be able to easily lift 3,5 kilos, just like before my pregnancy. Resulting in another day of being hardly able to walk due to the muscle aches. I could hardly go up the stairs, but particularly going down the stairs was tragic. All I actually wanted was just to relax on the couch and pity myself. A lot.

n August 10th we will play our first festival show since a long time and if this is not enough, it will be at one of the biggest and best festivals in Europe.

Sziget Festival is one of the largest music and cultural festivals in Europe. The festival is held annually in August in Budapest, Hungary and takes place on í“budai-sziget (“Old-Buda Island”).

In 2011, Sziget was ranked one of the 5 best festivals in Europe by The Independent, and one of the 10 best by the European Festival Awards.

Only 2 days later on Friday,  August 12th “The First Challenge” is WT’s very special festival performance at home in the Netherlands, but right next to the border of Germany in Ulft. The First Challenge will not only be a unique WT concert, it will be a WT happening. We will play the whole concept album “The Unforgiving” in one go and in the follow order of the CD plus all your favorite Within Temptation hits in a grand finale. The visual presentation will feature brand new images on big screens, a sneak preview is alread on our site. There will be an after show party with a VNV DJ-Set (as our next performance at Me’ra Luna festival is not a long drive from Ulft, so we will have some time to enjoy the after show party – definately looking forward to that!)., the Unforgiving Race car is on the site etc, etc. Tickets for “The First Challenge” are still available and can be purchased here for the Dutch fans and here for the German fans.

On the next day, Saturday August 13th we are looking forward to return to the best festival in Germany “Me’ra Luna” in Hildesheim as a headliner. Me’ra Luna has been voted the best festival in 2011 on the German Live Music Award (LEA). That’s well deserved, it’s also our favorite one in Germany with great memories of our first steps on a big festival in our neighbour country.

Off the stage at Me’ra Luna we will then drive over night to Switzerland to perform at Heitere Open Air in Zí¶fingen on Sunday 14.08. Heitere Open Air  has been a summer festival highlight in the country since the 90ies.

We also can’t wait to see the fans in Belgium and at home in the Netherlands at the legendary Pukkelpop Festival on the 19th and Lowlands festival on the 20th of August. Both events are already sold out for a long time.

Stoppelhaene Festival (25.08) and Bavaria Open Air (27.08) are 2 more great Festivals before we depart to  Transylvania for the Fíélsziget Fesztivál on 28.08., which is one of the largest summer festivals in Romania.

Needless to say – but we are extremely excited to see all of you out there at one of these festivals and send our best regards from the rehersal room.

See you soon…..

You've trained hard the past few months to get back into shape (see Sharon's blog at Vrouw.nl ) for your first concert this month. How was that?

"It was quite a tough one. I had a strict deadline: on August 12th was our first big concert in the Netherlands. So I had to physically and mentally in shape, otherwise I like action more than two hours is not full without becoming winded. I trained hard. But in the past period was also the holidays and then a busy time with rehearsals and promotional work, so I had less time to exercise. Besides, I came as soon as I stopped breastfeeding, immediately to three pounds. I have not quite reached my goal weight. But I had previously said that this was not the most important. All of those pounds are still off * s, you know. "

How important is appearance to you?
"It is part of the business card of the band. People do have certain expectations of how you look on stage. And in everyday life. * Oh, you look so out in real life? * I hear regularly. And thanks! For a show I'm pretty prepared and styled my hair, but when I'm free, I love it when some mascara, lip balm and a ooglijntje. With three small children, I have no time to morning * my hair straighten. And people seem to find it weird that I do not wear huge dresses occurs in the supermarket. They are often shocked when I appear in my jeans, a leather jacket and slippers. They expect more frills, but if not I'm private. I want a little bit groomed, but otherwise I like to run out the door. "

Are you insecure about your appearance if it is?
"Not really insecure, but I do notice that I get older. Your body changes over the years and I need to make more effort to look good. Previously I did not think about what I ate and my skin had little care. Now. Furthermore, I realize that I have a side entry generation. I do not Grandpa and Grandma * s * s and more have already a new batch * * put on the world. That is quite confrontational at times. I realize that life is not infinite, that we are mortal. But that appearance is concerned, there you are doing more as a woman anyway. It seems genetic. "

Welcome Mother Maiden…

The Disciple ramps up his killing spree, as Janyce faces life without her badge for firing a weapon in public. The Triplets appear to Janyce, this time in the precinct house, and lead her on a chase throughout the building. Is she losing her mind? She suspects it, but regains her sanity just in time to meet the leader of the Wraith Taskforce – the mysterious Mother Maiden.

We are really excited to announce the release of the 3rd edition of The Unforgiving comic, “Penance: Part three″!

Because of your enthousiasm for our tour, two venues on the 2011 Unforgiving tour have been altered.

Due to the extensive demand for tickets we had to move our concert in Krakow from Studio to Hala Wisla, Poland. You can buy tickets for the show at Hala Wisla here.

The Arena in Stockholm will remain the venue for oktober 27, but will be enlarged. After reviewing our production specs we were able to put extra tickets on sale. You can buy the extra tickets here.

There’s something electric about the statement, "Within Temptation is coming to North America!" Most likely it’s because Within Temptation doesn’t come here that often, compared to other parts of the world. However, September 2011 marked the long-awaited return of Within Temptation to North America for a brief tour: Toronto and Montreal in Canada; and Worcester (Massachusetts), New York City, Baltimore, and Philadelphia in the United States. This tour was Within Temptation’s first chance on this side of the Atlantic to directly promote their latest album, The Unforgiving, as well as its corresponding comic book series.


Sonic Cathedral staff writer Sara Letourneau sat down with singer Sharon den Adel just hours before Within Temptation’s nearly sold-out show in Worcester. They talked about the tour, the band’s new musical direction, Sharon’s new onstage wardrobe, and the future of The Unforgiving. Yes, it seems the comic books and short films may be the start of something even bigger. Read on to learn more!

Sara:  Hello, Sharon! On behalf of Sonic Cathedral, welcome back to North America!

Sharon:  Well, thank you very much! We’re glad to be back. It’s been a long time, and a lot of things have happened in between.

Sara:  You started the North American tour a couple nights ago in Canada. You were in Toronto and then Montreal. How did they go?

Sharon:  Amazing. I must say that the Canadian people have a really good reputation of being very enthusiastic and passionate people, but also they express things more directly. They’re more expressive than other countries are. I’m not saying that they like [the shows] better than people who don’t move as much or shout as much. It’s like people express themselves differently in every country. So, we had a blast. And, Montreal sold out.

Sara:  Montreal sold out?

Sharon:  Yeah! It did.

Sara:  I didn’t know about that!

Sharon:  Yeah, it was about 2200 people.

Sara:  Wow! That’s good!

Sharon:  Yeah. It was our second time there. The first time, we were with six other bands.

Sara:  For [the tour] with Lacuna Coil?

Sharon:  Yes! The Hottest Chicks of Metal Tour. (laughs) And now we came back. I think there was a lot of word of mouth, people telling about us. So, we saw a lot more people than we expected. It was very cool.

Sara:  Tonight, you play here in Worcester. And then you’ve got three other US shows. You’ve got New York tomorrow night, which is also sold out, and then Baltimore and Philadelphia. The New York show sold out well in advance. How do you feel about that?

Sharon:  It’s amazing, of course.

Sara:  And that will have about 3000 people?

Sharon:  Yes, I think so. We haven’t toured that much in America, actually. We did it two times, three weeks each, so six weeks total. But, I think with the Internet and everything, people are being enthusiastic [about us] on Facebook. And, people bring their friends [to our shows]. That’s how it went for us, I think. We became bigger and bigger without us knowing. And then you sell out certain shows, and you think, “Wow!” (laughs)

Sara:  And I know personally that people are flying from all across the country to these shows. They’re coming from Florida, the Midwest, and the West Coast just to see these shows on the East Coast. How does it feel to know that people are coming from all over to see you on this short tour?

Sharon:  Well, it’s a big compliment, of course. I must say that we were also totally surprised that so many people came. These shows were actually announced quite late. And if you see how well people are reacting, it’s like, “Wow!” Yeah, amazing. (laughs) We’re a little bit speechless, actually! (laughs)

Sara:  (laughs) Your new album is The Unforgiving. Not that it’s new, since it’s been out for about six months. But when it came out here in the US, it debuted [on the album charts] a lot higher than The Heart of Everything did. It actually became a Top 50 album! How did that make you feel?

Sharon:  (laughs) Well, it was strange. Because it ended up at #1 on the Rock charts here as well, and also in England. To be honest, I was on a little bit of a rollercoaster. I was giving birth at the time I heard the news! Actually, I think I heard the news, and then a few hours later I went into labor. (laughs)

Sara:  (laughs) So [the news] brought [your labor] on?

Sharon:  Maybe! Maybe it had some effect on what happened the day after. (laughs) So, it’s something that you don’t expect. I’m just happy that people responded well on the album. And since it’s been six months that it was released, people have gotten used to the album. They can sing along at the shows now. (laughs) They know the lyrics by heart now. The first few shows that we did [in Europe to promote The Unforgiving], I could see that if I would ever forget my lyrics, I’d just have to look at the fans. I’d watch them and say, “Oh, yes! Thank you!” (laughs)

Sara:  (laughs) The Unforgiving has been a very unique undertaking, with the comic book series that accompanies the album and also the three mini-movies that have been coming out. How do you think it’s all come together? Has it met your expectations? Or exceeded them?

Sharon:  Well, we made those short movies in a very short time. And also, the story of the concept album was written in almost less than six months. So, everything went pretty rapidly, actually, and also because we had a good team of people working together. All creative people who are good in the field they work in. We had a good director, a good [special] effects guy, and also the person who wrote the story for The Unforgiving, and also the comic artist. Everyone was just an expert at their field. And, everyone was inspired by the story.

Also, although Steven O’Connell [the writer of The Unforgiving] came up with the basic concept for it, what happened was we had already approached Romano Molenaar, the comic artist. He works with the X-Men [comics] and those kinds of comics. We asked [Romano] if anyone could write a script for us, and he came up with Steven O’Connell. And since we didn’t have a script already lying around, we told Steven, “OK, we were thinking of this, this, and this. We’d like to have these kinds of influences. This is how it should be starting.” Those kinds of things. We gave him the ingredients, and he came back with a very cool three or four lines about what the story should be about. He just started throwing ideas around, and we threw ideas back. And eventually, that became the story of The Unforgiving. And he did a really good job, I think. He’s such a storyteller, so it comes so easily for him. And it was really great to work with him.

But also, the director and the [special] effects guy who worked on the movies had really great ideas for stories. So, they also came up with ideas that were eventually put into the story. And it became a better story in the end because everyone was so inspired. It just worked really well, and people thinking along with us. And, there were no egos, no one thinking, “Oh, it’s MY story.” (laughs) It becomes better [when you collaborate]. It just works better.



Sara:  Speaking of being inspired, when I was listening to The Unforgiving, I thought that album has your best vocal performance out of all the Within Temptation albums. It sounds like something about [the story] unleashed the best of your voice. Is that how you felt when you were in the studio? How did you feel when you were working on these songs and singing them for the first time?

Sharon:  Thank you! And I must that it was a pleasure. (laughs) Because these songs came so naturally, and the vocal lines came very naturally. It was something that really suits me. I could really bring in much more emotion because… I don’t know. It just felt right. I was really loving the songs. Of course, I love our older songs, too, but sometimes certain songs appeal to you more than others. And [in our case,] it was especially because we felt like we had found a new Within Temptation again. It gave us a lot of inspiration and a lot of good vibes. And when we were in the studio and I was singing the songs, I felt that good vibe. And then, we feel really confident that this was the way to go. It’s such a joy to be in the studio.

And with The Heart of Everything, I enjoyed it, but we felt like we were doing the same thing again, more or less. We had been finalizing the sound for some years, and with The Heart of Everything we felt like we had done our best and couldn’t go beyond that. So, we had to make a direction to a new corner to renew ourselves and to reinvent ourselves. Because we felt like we were at a dead end. And also, after the last album, we were really at a point of whether we were going to break up or going to continue.

Sara:  Wow.

Sharon:  Yeah. So, we needed a little bit of time. And we had toured a lot.

Sara:  You did tour a lot for The Heart of Everything. You went everywhere.

Sharon:  Yeah, exactly. And every time, something was adding to it. For example, our first shows in America, we were here for three weeks. And then we got a request to come back for another three weeks. But, we still had to catch up a tour in Germany, which I think was another two or three weeks long. And at the end of the German tour, we really hated each other. We were not very happy people! (laughs) We needed a break from the music, a break from each other. You need to have certain breaks in between, and we didn’t have enough breaks. We were just tired, very tired.

And it was good to take some distance and also see where we were stood at a certain point. We also saw the things we did wrong. Now, we try to plan better and take the right times off. We’re not a band that can continuously tour and tour and tour. We need to have breaks in between. And, we have families as well. So, we need to touch base again and then come back with full energy and give the audience what they expect and what they should get. But when you’re tired, you can’t give the full of you. You can’t live up to the expectations. It begins to feel like a routine. And that’s something we really hate. It shouldn’t feel like a job in the end. (laughs) But we’re back, and we’re revitalized, and we’re really happy to be back again. We made the right decisions, and now we’re looking forward to the upcoming tours.

Sara:  The first two singles off The Unforgiving were “Faster” and “Sinead.” Other than the fact that they’re insanely catchy, why were those songs chosen to be singles?

Sharon:  Well, because we felt they brought across the new Within Temptation. We wanted to make a statement that we had gone a different corner a little bit, that we had made a change in our music. Because I think we have a little stigma that we’re a nu metal band, which we’re not.

Sara:  (surprised) Some people call your music nu metal?

Sharon:  Yeah. They call us nu metal everywhere, because of Evanescence.

Sara:  But, you’re not! (laughs)

Sharon:  Yeah! We’re more symphonic rock or symphonic metal. We’re not nu metal, although I don’t hate [nu metal]. I like that kind of music. But, that’s who we are. We don’t identify ourselves with it that much. We have some influences in that area, of course, but it’s not completely that. It’s more than that, in my opinion. I understand why, because Evanescence is so big, and so they give that label to every band with a female vocal. (laughs) So, I think we really wanted to make a statement that we’ve really gone to a different corner.

Sara:  I saw on the DVD for The Unforgiving that you made a video for “Shot in the Dark.” Are you planning that to be the third single off the album?

Sharon:  Yes. Probably. We’re not sure yet, but it’s supposed to be like that. In some countries, it will be. And maybe other countries will get a different single.

Sara:  Any idea what that other single might be? Or, are you not sure yet?

Sharon:  No, we’re not sure yet. We haven’t discussed it yet.

Sara:  You started touring last month to promote the new album. You did some festival appearances in Europe. One of those shows you did was The First Challenge. It was a large-scale show, like the Java Eiland and Black Symphony shows. Could you tell us a little about that and how it went?

Sharon:  Well, it was one of our first shows after so many years, and with totally new music. We played the whole new album. When we do shows now, it’s more of a mixture of all kinds of things. And we played for two hours [at The First Challenge]. We’ve never played for two hours before. And, it’s also dangerous because it can get a bit boring. I can imagine that two hours is a long ride for anybody, for a band to play and for people to listen to it and stay focused and stay into it. You need to make a really good balance between things. But, it was a good experience. It was very heavy also, to play so many songs in your first show after a while. (imitates a sigh of relief, then laughs) We were so nervous! But, it went very well actually. It was also like a try-out show in a way. We got to try out what works for the audience, what doesn’t work, what kind of songs to play, what kind of order you need to play them in. But I think after the festivals, we know now what works and what doesn’t work. In the beginning, during the first few shows, you have to try out things.

Sara:  One thing that fans have noticed about the recent shows is that your wardrobe has changed. You’re not wearing the corsets and the skirts and the dresses so much. This time, you’re wearing slacks and some cool 80s-ish tops. How does it feel to perform in different clothes than you’ve worn before? Does it feel different at all?

Sharon:  It feels liberating, actually! (laughs) I’m still wearing the corsets. But, it’s more like corsets with leather pants and a beautiful or extravagant blouse or a jacket. It has a little more of an 80s feel to it. But, the music is different now. I can’t wear those dresses again with this kind of album. Of course, maybe at some shows, I will wear occasionally a dress, a special one that suits the older albums. But for this tour, I wanted to do something different also to break away from the standard image that everyone has of the band and of me, again underlining that we’ve gone in a different direction.

Sara:  It has been four years since Sonic Cathedral first sat down with you and Robert. The band has reached a lot of milestones since then: the Black Symphony show, the DVD for that show, and then the acoustic tour and album. Both of those events and albums show different sides of the band musically. Black Symphony, for example, showed us what you can do –

Sharon:  Bombastically? (laughs)

Sara:  Yes. And then you toned it down for the acoustic versions, and it sounds just as good. Is it important for you to not only do different things with your music but also to offer something unique to your fans?

Sharon:  Exactly. That’s one of the reasons, to give unique things to our fans. But it’s also for ourselves, to keep ourselves inspired and also to show that we’re not always about doing things bigger and bigger and even bigger than big. It’s not about doing things over the top. It’s more about being both [over the top and more intimate], and we are both. We like to give a big show, but not always to try to do something more extreme than the last time. We just want to have a beautiful show, and we just want to give our all. And that’s what we try to do. And, I think it was nice for us to go from [Black Symphony], where it took everything that we had in us, to go to a really more pure side of ourselves. I think it could go even more pure, if we wanted it to. It was less showy. But, that’s what the band is normally. It was to show people that, if you strip down everything, there’s still a good song there. That’s how we build on the songs, always. When we start writing songs, it always starts with a guitar or the keyboards. It doesn’t start with a huge choir. (laughs) So, when you strip everything down, it gets to the core of Within Temptation, actually. To the base of which the songs were written.

Sara:  Recently, your video for “In and Out of Love” with [Dutch DJ] Armin van Buuren hit 100 million views on YouTube.

Sharon:  Yeah! (laughs)

Sara:  That’s a lot!

Sharon:  Yeah, it’s a lot! (laughs) It’s strange, actually, because I only performed [that song] with Armin two times. And, it never was a really big hit. Not on the radio, anyway. In Holland, they played it [on the radio], but only on the DJ kinds of stations, dance stations. But, underground and in all the clubs, it was being played. It’s still a huge hit there, apparently, if [the video] has gotten so many hits. It’s crazy. (laughs)

Sara:  After this North American tour, you have a very extensive tour in Europe coming up. And, I know you’ve already announced some Dutch dates for 2012. So, is there any chance at all, between all the places where you may be going next year, that you’ll come back to North America?

Sharon:  There are already talks about it, because so many more people came that we were expecting. So, there’s something going on. There’s something bubbling under. (laughs) We’ve had some requests already for next year. So, we’re going to see how we can fit it in. Maybe around this time next year, we might be back. We’ll have to see. It’s something still up for discussion. There’s a lot of things that we the band don’t see. All the requests are sent to our management, and they have to make the routine for where we’ll be next year and how we’ll fly and how to fit everything in. But with any luck, we’ll try to come back next fall. Hopefully. And, it would be a bigger tour than this one.

Sara:  One last question for you, Sharon: What would you like to say to your fans and to our readers at Sonic Cathedral?

Sharon:  (pauses) Well, of course, that we hope to be back [in North America] soon. We’re happy to see that people really like our music. Because we were doubting if our music was meant for America, since it has so many European flavors. But, we’re confident now that, after seeing how many people came to the first two shows, maybe more Americans like our music than we thought. So, we’re really happy to see so many faces and seeing so many people bring their friends. Also, our comic [“The Unforgiving”] has been picked up by the biggest comic distributor in America, which will also distribute it worldwide. So, people might get in contact with our music through the comic now. That’s something we didn’t expect. But, it was picked up so nicely by a lot of people who didn’t know the band, and somehow it ended up with this distributor. So, we’re going to release it through them now as well.

Sara:  Cool!

Sharon:  So, maybe who knows? (laughs) And there’s always something to dream about. We have another dream now, and that is to make a full-length film out of the base of the comic. I’m not sure if it’s going to happen. It’s more like we’re working on it. It might take some years because it’s always a big project to make a movie. But, we did make those three short movies. Who knows? Maybe we’ll do it with the same team, or maybe with somebody else. We have some connections now in the movie industry. So, we’ll see what happens!

Sara:  Wow! We’ll hope for the best. Thank you very much for your time, Sharon!

Sharon:  You’re welcome!

Many thanks once again to Sharon for taking the time to talk to Sonic Cathedral again. We at Sonic Cathedral wish Within Temptation the best with the upcoming tours and all things related to The Unforgiving. And, we hope to see you in North America again next year! Also, thank you to Julie Lichtenstein at Roadrunner Records USA for helping us arrange the interview.

t has been 4 years since Within Temptation has played a concert in North America and the fans that were lucky enough to attend one of the 6 showcase shows in September were treated to an amazing musical experience from one of the premiere bands in female metal. Although the stage setup was more minimalistic than their previous headlining tour, the band was as majestic as ever.

Coming to New York City's Terminal 5 on September 10th, the band played a venue that was almost 3 times the size of the hall they played back in 2007 and were able to sell it out well in advance. Bass player Jeroen stated afterwards that he didn't expect these kinds of crowds with the band being relatively unknown in the United States but that he was pleasantly surprised with the attendance and to expect Within Temptation to return as soon as they can.


For fans who have only heard the band's latest release The Unforgiving, the show started out with the Mother Maiden short film projected onto their backdrop. Gone are the days of Sharon's ball gown dresses and instead she came out in pants where she was able to interact and rock out while right up with the crowd the whole night. From the introduction the band then continued on with 4 songs from the new album. Shot In The Dark, In The Middle Of the Night, Faster, and Fire and Ice all sounded great live as this was the first time that the American crowd had a chance to hear these songs in a concert setting. The band was as tight as they had been in 2007 and had the crowd on their side from the first notes of the show. After treating the crowd to a wonderful selection of songs from The Unforgiving, the band went into a song that was unexpected to hear so early on in their set.

ce Queen from their first full length album Mother Earth has been the staple closing song for Within Temptation during their whole career. Robert talked afterwards about moving the song and noted that although it has been a tradition for the band to close with Ice Queen, they decided to break tradition and try something new by playing it earlier in the set.

Making this move proved to be an excellent choice as the whole crowd started chanting the "aaah aaah" part with Sharon and was electrified from that point on at the concert. Old and new fans alike sang along to this staple song of the Within Temptation catalogue.

From there the band played another new song Iron, before playing their first song from their previous album The Heart of Everything. As chants of Sanctus Espiritus started up, the crowd knew that the band would next play Our Solemn Hour. This song being one of the most popular on the album had the whole crowd singing along. After that moment, the band finally got around to playing a song from The Silent Force.

Before starting the next song, Sharon took time to talk about 9/11 in what was the most touching moment of the night. She went on to say how on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the attacks that it would be fitting to play a song from The Silent Force as the whole album was inspired by the incidents 10 years ago. Specifically the band wrote Stand My Ground in response to how they felt about being strong in the face of such an incident. After the show Sharon told me about people from Holland who also were killed and that the terrorist attacks were more than just an American event and affected the whole world and changed things so much. Then after a moment of silence, the opening strings of Stand My Ground started and the New York City crowd was completely lost in the moment and felt the song more than they ever had before.

After that chilling moment, the Sinead short film was projected on the backdrop and the band then played the song of the same name from The Unforgiving. Now that the crowd was alive again, the band went into a song that always gets the crowd to sing along, What Have You Done. As usual, when the band gets to the parts of the song sung by Keith Caputo, Sharon holds out the microphone to the audience to get them to scream "What Have You Done Now". The crowd ate it up and you could see Sharon smile each time the crowd sang back to her.

From there the band played their last song from The Heart of Everything album, The Howling. This was their first song that was released as a single in the United States after they signed with Roadrunner Records US, and the crowd sang along and knew every word of the song. Then the band played their last 2 songs from The Silent Force album, Angels and Memories. During the end portion of Angels, Sharon was singing one of her patented high notes when the microphone blew out. Instead of getting frustrated or losing her composure, she laughed about it while Ruud played the baseball "batter's up rally theme" to get the crowd jumping. Sharon then jumped up and down along with the crowd while the technicians worked their magic. Robert then commented that there must have been "ghosts in the attic" which caused the equipment malfunction and the crowd laughed along. Finally after getting her microphone back, Sharon went right into a moving rendition of Memories to close out the main portion of the show.

During the first encore of the night, the band played their final songs from the Mother Earth album. They played the classics Deceiver of Fools and Mother Earth. Both of these songs sounded incredible as always and for the fans who have known about the band from the beginning, it was a real treat to hear these songs in concert. When playing Mother Earth the band was in perfect sync and Sharon showed why she has the voice of an angel.

To close the show, the band played a final song from The Unforgiving as a second encore. Usually people leave a venue after a first encore, but the whole crowd stuck around to hear Stairway to the Skies. This left the crowd knowing that the band's newest work is just as good as its oldest work. Within Temptation took their bows, shook hands with the crowd, gave out picks and drumsticks, and most importantly, let the crowd know that they planned to come back for a full tour of America and wouldn't wait 4 years to do it again. This was a very special concert put on by an amazing band and everyone over here in America has something to look forward to in 2012 when the band returns to the States.

After the show, the band had a small meet & greet set up. They invited an 11 year old girl who had noted that this was her first concert ever. You could see the sheer excitement on her face in getting to meet the band. Also invited was a 12 year old girl from Louisiana named Kate. Kate was the runner up for the band's The Unforgiving contest and was so happy to get the chance to finally meet her favorite band. When Sharon came up to give her a hug, Kate was in tears of joy and Sharon just smiled. Seeing the interaction of the band with their fans just gives another dimension into how great a band Within Temptation is. Not only are they great performers, but also great people who care about their fans. I hope that everyone gets the chance to see this incredible band in concert and have the chance to meet them as well.

Robert deja las giras!!!

Citar
As you know in recent years we were blessed with the birth of three children. Since then not only our kids but also Within Temptation has been growing fast and we are touring in more countries than ever before.

To be able to fulfill the needs of our children but just as much the needs of the band for now and also in the future, we decided Robert will step down from touring live, (except for the occasional show). With this change we can give stability to our children and from the home studio Robert will have more time writing new music and developing new creative ideas for the live show, the comic and future movies.

What makes the decision easier is the fact that Stefan Helleblad is willing to take Robert's place in the band on stage. Stefan has been working with the band behind the scenes for some years. As a sound engineer he was involved in the production of our latest three records. Next to being a great sound engineer, mixing engineer and producer he is also a very gifted guitar player. On our latest album 'The Unforgiving' you can already hear him play some special guitar parts. His first show will be on the 21st in Heerhugowaard.

So this is not a goodbye but a new step, or actually two steps in a very exciting new and inspiring time for our band.
We hope you keep joining and enjoying this adventure together with us and our paths will keep crossing each other.

'till soon !!!
Sharon and Robert

We’re on the road again! Although we see a lot of fans during our tour we also want to give you a special inside look at what goes on in between shows.

That’s why we’re starting The Unforgiving Tour Vlog, where we’ll be posting our own videos and showing you what we’re up to on tour! You’re going to see: our adventures during traveling, what we do before we go on stage and what we enjoy doing in our spare time.

Also we’re curious to know if you have anything you’d like to ask us! So if you have a question for any of us (Sharon, Ruud, Stefan, Jeroen, Martijn, Mike), you can post your questions in the comments on the bandmember pages. We’ll try to answer your questions in videos for our vlog as well!

As you know, we’ll be visiting a lot of different cities during the tour. Who would be a better tour guide than our fans in their own home town?! When we have the chance to check out a city before a show, we’ll turn to you for advice on Facebook! Then you can post your favourite spots, must-see attractions or great sight seeing locations in the city we’re visiting.

Madrid, 11 oct (EFE).- A caballo entre el metal sinfónico que les dio a conocer y las composiciones más comerciales y pegadizas que conforman su último álbum, los holandeses Within Temptation han ofrecido esta noche un solvente concierto en la sala La Riviera de Madrid, donde ha destacado el ní­tido sonido de su actuación.

Y es que ha llamado poderosamente la atención el buen partido que la banda le ha sacado al recinto, consiguiendo una acústica sin fisuras, con la que ha encandilado a los más de 2.000 asistentes congregados, sobre todo en temas clásicos como "Mother Earth".

Heavys, góticos, mal llamados pijos y hasta algún ejecutivo, se han hermanado alrededor de una formación que, con su accesible concepción de la música metal, es capaz de conectar con personas de toda clase y condición.

Así­, con un público de lo más variopinto, la única presencia de los instrumentos sobre el escenario y una pantalla al fondo, la actuación ha dado comienzo con un trabajado cortometraje, al que los espectadores han hecho poco caso, ya que estaban más pendientes por advertir la entrada de sus í­dolos que por entender lo que se les narraba.

Precedidos de una enorme expectación, han ido apareciendo los componentes de la banda uno tras otro, dejando en último lugar a la reina de la noche, la cantante Sharon den Adel, que ha irrumpido ataviada con un voluminoso abrigo blanco al más puro estilo Cruella De Vil, alejada de la estíética gótica con la que se asocia al grupo.

Una estíética y un estilo del que Within Temptation rehuye, como se comprueba en su último disco, "The Unforgiving", protagonista de la noche y del que tres de sus temas, como "Shot in the dark", "In the middle of the night" y "Faster", han conformado el potente tramo inicial.

Tres canciones pegadizas y cañeras que han desembocado en la hermosa balada "Fire and ice", perfecto aperitivo para el metal sinfónico de "Ice Queen", uno de los temas clásicos de la banda.

Pero el hielo y la quietud de esta última canción han sido resquebrajados por el hierro de "Iron", que con su contundente sonido ha devuelto al escenario el rock comercial y accesible que comparten las nuevas composiciones de Within Temptation.

Fuertes llamaradas mostradas en la pantalla han ambientado con acierto un tema tan tíétrico y apocalí­ptico como "Our Solemn hour", en uno de los momentos más intensos de la velada, donde la vocalista ha sacado a relucir abrigo nuevo, una larga y oscura gabardina negra, muy acorde con las sensaciones que transmite la canción.

El incendio ha dado paso a la tormenta con "Stand My ground", otro de los hits del grupo, que, con imágenes de rayos ambientando la música, ha precedido al segundo cortometraje de la noche.

El siguiente tema ha sido "Sinead", con el grupo de nuevo en su vertiente más comercial, que ha enlazado con "What have you done" de su cuarto disco, otra de sus composiciones más asequibles y que más íéxito le ha granjeado a estos músicos holandeses.

Se ha agradecido especialmente la falta de empujones y aspavientos varios, tan habituales en este tipo de conciertos y que aquí­ no han hecho acto de presencia, gracias a un público comedido, más pendiente de escuchar y de disfrutar la música, que de hacer gala de arrebatos de euforia.

Lo que no significa que los asistentes no se hayan entregado, ya que no han parado de corear, dar palmas y ovacionar al grupo; especialmente a su vocalista, quien, parca en palabras, se ha visto obligada a dar las gracias constantemente.

Cerca del desenlace, ha llegado la avalancha de canciones clásicas, con "Angels", "Memories" o "Deceiver of fools", donde la cantante ha lucido con esplendor su voz de soprano, hasta llegar a la cumbre del concierto, "Mother Earth", con un sonido prácticamente perfecto que ha enloquecido a los seguidores.

Y en lugar de acabar con otro hit, en una apuesta algo arriesgada, Within Temptation ha optado por el tema "Stairway to the skies" de su último disco, con el que ha puesto punto y final a una noche que ha colmado las expectativas de sus seguidores. EFE

Por lo general, los grupos en directo suelen deleitar al público mucho más que en disco, pero sólo unos pocos consiguen “mover masas”. Es el caso de uno de los grupos holandeses más internacionales, Within Temptation, quienes el pasado lunes ofrecieron un directo de presentación de su último álbum, “The Unforgiving”.
Texto y Fotos: Leticia Ballester
    
Y decimos que “mueven masas” porque tras su directo se oye unanimidad aplastante en cuanto al resultado: a todo el mundo le sabe a poco y repetirí­an al dí­a siguiente sin dudarlo. Hoy estarán en Barcelona, intentando repetir la hazaña.

La calurosa tarde de octubre en Madrid acompañó para que los asistentes al evento se acercaran desde antes de mediodí­a a hacer cola delante de la cíéntrica sala. Y así­ el nutrido conjunto de personas que aguardaban sentados comenzaron a entrar alrededor de las 8 de la tarde. Para cuando los teloneros, los barceloneses The Cannibal Queen, saltaron a las tablas sobre las 9 de la noche, la sala ya contaba con una gran cantidad de gente ansiosa por oí­r el inclasificable estilo de esta formación que cuenta en su haber con un disco debut lanzado en 2010.

Quizá la elección de este grupo no fuera lo más acertado, a pesar de su buen hacer en las tablas y de que a los presentes consiguieron levantarles el ánimo como preparación para el plato fuerte. Sin embargo, teniendo en cuenta que ya hace más de un año del lanzamiento de aquel “Devour all without Faith” y que están a punto de entrar en estudio para su siguiente trabajo de estudio, la promotora podrí­a haber encontrado otras elecciones de más actualidad musical y quizá con algo más de afinidad con estilo de los holandeses.

Pasadas las 10 de la noche, con el corto de Mother Maiden como comienzo, la sala se preparaba para vivir el directo de Within Temptation. Durante sus tres minutos de duración en los que este personaje de su disco conceptual (basado y apoyado en un cómic de creación propia) se presenta, saltaron los músicos de uno en uno, para culminar con la salida de la frontwoman Sharon den Adel entonando el tercer single de su último disco “The Unforgiving”, “Shot in the dark”, y los allí­ presentes se rindieron desde el primer segundo a los minutos que tendrí­amos por delante.

Coreando con el público al principal guitarrista Ruud Jolie, Sharon animaba al público a aplaudir en los intermedios musicales en los que ella no cantaba en “In the middle of the night”, corte mucho más freníético de lo que nos suelen tener acostumbrados. Y conduciendo imaginariamente, la singular “Faster” (cuyo parecido con “Wicked Game” de Chriss Isaak cada vez se hace más patente), primer sencillo de este trabajo sonaba incombustible y coreada por los presentes hasta dejarse las cuerdas vocales.

Llegaban despuíés el medio tiempo de “Fire and Ice”, con el teclado de Martijn  Spierenburg como co-protagonista junto a la dulce voz de Sharon, cogiendo fuerza con cada estribillo y culminando con la entrada de el bajo de Jeroen van Veen y la guitarra de Ruud para acabar con fuerza y prepararnos para uno de los clásicos absolutos, “Ice Queen”, que llenó la sala como un himno.

La mezcla de rock alternativo con punk y tintes góticos de este cuarteto sonó contundente en toda la sala desde los primeros acordes, comenzando con la pegadiza “New Religion” y arrancando muchos aplausos y ví­tores en cada tema. Sonaron “Make it go away”, “And the pain goes on” y la que da nombre a su LP, “Devour all without Faith” entre otras, todas ellas interpretadas con mucha rabia y buscando la complicidad del público que parecí­a querer más de los de la ciudad condal. Esperamos su segundo trabajo con ganas.

Setlist:
01 – New Religion
02 – Killer
03 – Make it go away
04 – And the pain goes on
05 – Devour all without Faith
06 – No more lies
07 – This is Absolution

Y conduciendo imaginariamente, la singular “Faster” (cuyo parecido con “Wicked Game” de Chriss Isaak cada vez se hace más patente), primer sencillo de este trabajo sonaba incombustible y coreada por los presentes hasta dejarse las cuerdas vocales.

Llegaban despuíés el medio tiempo de “Fire and Ice”, con el teclado de Martijn  Spierenburg como co-protagonista junto a la dulce voz de Sharon, cogiendo fuerza con cada estribillo y culminando con la entrada de el bajo de Jeroen van Veen y la guitarra de Ruud para acabar con fuerza y prepararnos para uno de los clásicos absolutos, “Mother Earth”, que llenó la sala como un himno.



Volviendo al último trabajo, “Iron”, una de las más pegadizas y fáciles de corear desde la primera escucha, seguida de una sacada del trabajo anterior, el hipnótico canto “Our solemn hour”, y sin tregua el single más conocido de la discografí­a del grupo, de las más radiadas, “Stand my ground”, lo cual se notó en cuanto al alcanzar el último estribillo toda la sala aunó voces como si fueran sólo una para entonar a la perfección las estrofas.

De corte más disco, los primeros acordes de “Sinead” inundaron el ambiente junto con el videoclip de fondo (una de las apuestas para esta gira, dado que los tres videoclips correspondientes a los tres singles “Faster”, “Sinead” y “Shot in the dark” aportan más material a la historia narrada por el concepto del disco y los cómics), y terminó con el respetable bailando y saltando al ritmo de sus notas. De hecho, los videoclips de muchos de los temas se podí­an ver en la pantalla del fondo durante el concierto.

Salida del videojuego “Las crónicas de Spellborn”, sonaba “The Howling”, en la cual brillaron mucho más los instrumentos que la voz de Sharon (la cuál durante todo el directo demostró que se lo estaba pasando en grande, lo que hizo que en algún momento puntual descuidara la tíécnica vocal y se escapara algún tono). Tambiíén cabe destacar el esfuerzo del guitarrista Stefan Helleblad (que sustituye a la pareja sentimental de Sharon y co-fundador del grupo, Robert Westerholt, dado que se ha quedado en casa con los tres hijos de la pareja para poder así­ el grupo cumplir con la gira) y del nuevo baterí­a del grupo, Mike Coolen. De vuelta a los clásicos, “Angels” y “Memories” emocionaron y pusieron los pelos de punta a más de uno en los momentos álgidos de cada tema, con partes de los videoclips de acompañamiento.

La canción más antigua que sonó en toda la velada junto con la imprescindible “Mother Earth” y "Ice Queen era “Deceiver of fools”, de corte más oscuro y menos comercial, pero no por ello menos conocida por los presentes (Sharon muerta de calor salió con el pelo recogido. Y el bis tras la tí­pica despedida venia de la mano de la angelical y evocadora “Stairway to the skies”, que tambiíén cierra el último redondo del conjunto holandíés. Hubo aún tiempo para que el sexteto hiciera algunos coros y dedicara sentidas palabras de agradecimiento a los asistentes una vez finalizado el concierto, declarando que los conciertos en España son los mejores de cada gira.

En palabras de la propia Sharon, a travíés del Twitter oficial del grupo aquella noche nada más despedirse de los fans a la salida de la sala: “Pensábamos que lo habí­amos visto y vivido todo… Pero Madrid… nos habeis sorprendido, jajaja. Os sabí­ais todas las letras. Me quedo en casa la próxima vez”. Y es que Within Temptation sabe cómo deleitar a su público y cómo sacar el mayor partido a sus directos, a pesar de algún pequeño fallo vocal y ligeros olvidos de letras. Una cita ineludible cada vez que pisen nuestro paí­s.

Setlist:
01 – Intro
02 – Shot in the dark
03 – In the middle of the night
04 – Faster
05 – Fire and Ice
06 – Ice Queen
07 – Iron
08 – Our solemn hour
09 – Stand my ground
10 – Sinead
11 – What have you done
12 – The Howling
13 – Angels
14 – Memories
15 – Deceiver of fools
16 - Mother Earth
17 – Stairway to the skies

Yesterday, we had a day off in Barcelona! We enjoyed the warm temperature, the beach and… cocktails!

We like to share everything we’re up to on Twitter, and of course in our Unforgiving Tour Vlog.

Today we posted a photo album on Facebook with tour photos. We’ll keep taking pictures everywhere we go so you have a little taste of what it’s like to be on the road with us.

And it’s our sound engineer’s birthday.

Happy birthday, Benny!

We’re getting ready for tonight’s show in Razzmatazz here in Barcelona and really looking forward to seeing our Spanish fans tonight!

Tení­amos ganas de ver el estado de forma de los holandeses Within Temptation, despuíés de su última actuación en la capital y en este mismo escenario hace unos años. Aunque el embarazo de su cantante Sharon den Adel hizo que su primera fecha (Marzo de 2001) se aplazara, ahora y una vez recuperada, los tení­amos de nuevo en nuestro paí­s. La excusa para visitarnos en esta ocasión era la presentación de su nuevo trabajo ‘The unforgiving’, un disco conceptual inspirado en la serie de comics de Steven O’Connell, donde los personajes tienen reflejo en cada canción.

La larga cola que veí­amos a primera hora en La Riviera nos indicaba que la entrada iba a ser muy buena, así­ que nos incorporamos con tiempo de sobra, para tomar una buena posición y poder ver a los artistas invitados, de los que tení­amos buenas referencias.

A las 21:00 en punto salí­an The Cannibal Queen, un cuarteto afincado en Barcelona, aunque con un vocalista y guitarra, Ray Varela, que proviene de tierras australianas y que no paró de animar al público e invitarles a participar durante su set. La formación la completan Carlos Santolobo a la otra guitarra y coros, Rafa Pettit al bajo y coros y Jordi Riera a la baterí­a. Con dos discos en el mercado y funcionando desde el 2008, cumplieron perfectamente su papel de calentar y preparar al público para la salida de los holandeses.

Su sonido se mueve dentro del Metal con un toque oscuro y en ellos podemos ver influencias desde Metallica y Black Sabbath a NIN o Alice in chains. Durante treinta y cinco minutos desgranaron temas de sus dos discos, el homónimo ‘The Cannibal Queen’ y el segundo ‘Devour all without faith’. Sonaron “New religion”, “Killer ”, “Devour all without faith”, “No more lies” y “Black inside” entre otras, dejándonos muy buenas sensaciones y desde luego siendo una banda que no hay que perderles la pista.

Con tres minutos de retraso sobre las 22:00 horas, se apagaron las luces y en una enorme pantalla que ocupaba toda la parte posterior del escenario, nos proyectaron la primera de las tres mini historias a travíés de las que se desarrolla la trama de ‘The unforgiving’. El primer cortometraje, en blanco y negro, era “Mother maiden” con una enigmática anciana que nos iba introduciendo en la misteriosa narración, hasta que aparecí­a la banda al completo para presentarnos “Shot in the dark”. Sharon salí­a con un abrigo blanco y corto a lo Cruella de Vil, y era recibida con una impresionante ovación por toda una sala que estaba prácticamente llena y que era una muestra del público heterogíéneo de Within Temptation, góticos, rockeros, heavys, y el resto sin afiliación.

A pesar de haber sido madre por tercera vez, y haber redondeado un poco su silueta, se encuentra fí­sicamente espectacular y sin haber perdido ni un ápice de su extraordinaria voz de soprano.
A continuación siguieron con un tema muy cañero como “In the middle of the night”, para no bajar el pistón con “Faster”, su primer single de su último trabajo, que sonó más potente e intensa que en el disco, y que atrapó al público para que descargaran adrenalina, con su estribillo pegadizo cantado al uní­sono. Una intro de teclados nos anunciaba “Fire & Ice”, la primera balada de la noche y que serví­a para que Sharon tomara un poco de aire despuíés de los tres primeros cañonazos.

Tiempo despuíés para “Ice Queen”, una de las joyas de su lustroso pasado que tan bien valoran sus viejos seguidores y que fue muy bien acompañada en los coros. Vuelta de nuevo a la actualidad con otro tema intenso y pegadizo como “Iron” con un buen solo de guitarra y que dio paso, tras los gritos de Sharon, Sharon, Sharon, por parte del público a “Our solemn hour”, con unas fuertes llamaradas en pantalla, momento que aprovechó la bella holandesa para ponerse una capa gótica, con la que interpretar un tema que tiene unos preciosos coros, y que cuando se interpreta con una orquesta sinfónica resulta grandioso, aunque siempre consigue enganchar hasta al más parado.

Despuíés, Sharon aprovechó para presentar a los dos nuevos miembros de la formación, como el baterí­a Mike Coolen, que hizo un buen papel, aunque el uso de elementos electrónicos no es algo que me agrade especialmente, y al otro guitarrista Stefan Helleblad, que no desentonó, viíéndosele en un segundo plano con la timidez propia de un reciíén llegado, aunque lleva trabajando con el grupo desde hace unos cuantos años. El resto del grupo que actuó en Madrid fue Rudolf Jolie a la guitarra solista, Martijn Spierenburg a los teclados y el bajista Jeroen van Veen. Fue el preámbulo para su canción más universal quizás, como es “Stand my ground” que fue cantada de pricipio a fin por muchos seguidores, que se saben todo su repertorio de la primera a la última letra.

Una pequeña pausa y en pantalla se proyectó el segundo corto “Siníéad”, que dio paso a la canción del mismo nombre y que puso el momento dance en la sala. Un tema bailable y con imágenes discotequeras de fondo, que no sabemos si será una boutade de la banda o el principio de un camino por experimentar. Esperamos que no ocurra como con Dover, y no signifique un cambio de rumbo, porque  podrí­a ser un tremendo varapalo para sus numerosos seguidores.

Siguieron con “What have you done”, “The howling” y dos clásicos como “Angel”, donde la voz de Sharon luce en todo su esplendor, resultando curioso que sea toda una autodidacta y que nunca haya tomado clases de canto, para cerrar en primera instancia con otro gran ejercicio vocal como “Memories”, demostrando una entrega que  con su privilegiada voz melódica, ese timbre brillante y esos agudos reforzados, la posicionan en un lugar de honor en la escena metálica.

Un pequeño descanso, y volvieron nuevamente al escenario para interpretar “Deceiver of fools” y su temazo por antonomasia “Mother earth”, que puso la sala patas arriba y a todos rendidos, ante uno de los grandes exponentes del Metal Sinfónico en su máxima expresión. Como último bis, despuíés de unas entusiastas peticiones, volvieron a recurrir a su último disco, eligiendo “Stairway to the skies”, con el que pusieron un brillante colofón a su actuación, tras noventa minutos de concierto.

Sharon agradeció al público madrileño la excelente acogida y el apoyo a la banda, y junto a un simpático Rudolf, que se mostró muy activo durante toda la noche, y el resto de la banda, se despidieron hasta la próxima gira. Ni un lunes laborable, ni la crisis, ni otra excusa más, impidieron que la Riviera se llenara, gozando de un esplíéndido sonido y una efectiva puesta en escena. Aunque Within Temptation han acortado un poco su set respecto a sus anteriores visitas, hay que decir que la banda se encuentra en una etapa de plena madurez, con los miembros asentados musical y emocionalmente, y con una legión de seguidores que les permitirá seguir embarcándose en nuevas aventuras como esta que hemos presenciado, donde la música, el video y el cómic se aúnan, en un espectáculo multimedia que te atrapa y no te suelta hasta un final que se pasa volando.

After the festivals I had a small month to ‘recover’ and prepare myself for the Dutch shows. Living with my parents again after all the road tripping resulted in proper food and above all enough sleep! How I missed thee, my dear bed. Even though the first semester of my study started in September, I was determined to visit all Dutch shows. I mean, it’s only the Netherlands. Add the fact that I am a student and the choice was easily made; as a student you can travel by train for free in the Netherlands, yay! Even though I am allowed to miss some lectures, I do have to hand in assignments every now and then. For this occasion I bought myself a pretty pink mini laptop, so I can study everywhere if necessary. I guess in November it will be necessary for sure.

I, definitely not taking advantage of my student travel card, went from Amsterdam to Heerhugowaard on the 21st of September. My day, which consisted of attending lectures, would end in this middle of nowhere with WT’s first official show of the European The Unforgiving Tour. Still busy with processing the information I got during the lectures, I joined the queue at the Waerdse Tempel. However, the show was brilliant, despite the somewhat awkward moments on stage. I don’t mean this necessarily in a negative sense, but it was noticeable that it was kind of uncomfortable. But! I must add that over the past shows the chemistry between Stefan and the band grew a lot and in my opinion he is doing great and suits the band perfectly! After the show, I waited with a group of people in the hope to meet the band and chat a little. Talking to Jeroen about food and to Sharon about the new singles not being picked up by radio stations resulted in running for my last train home. Luckily my friends were so nice to drop me off at the train station, so thanks again guys!

After visiting the Dutch Film Festival in Utrecht the 22nd, where WT performed five songs (including Lost and Where Is The Edge!), I headed to Tilburg to spend the next four days there. Drinking a beer at the terrace made me quickly forget the train journey and I really looked forward to meeting all my foreign friends again. Especially for the fan club day, which took place the 25th, people came to Tilburg from all over the world. However, I didn’t only have a great time with old friends, during the wait the 23rd I also met some amazing new friends. We had a great time during the day, closing it with a wonderful gig in 013. Between the gig of the 23rd and the 25th, we had a day ‘off’. People who know me can guess what I did that day…shopping indeed. Since I was very tired that day I wanted to sleep early, apologizing to my hotel roommate Jess ( from Corsica) who wanted to go out still.

Looking back now, I can say it was fortunate we didn’t go out late on that particular Saturday, because Sunday (the 25th) was the day we actually went out late. When the fan club day + the following gig were over, we decided to go for a drink in one of the many pubs. The WT guys also went to town for a drink, so eventually our glasses/bottles merrily jingled together. I found my bed around, I guess, 5 o’clock in the morning, knowing that I had to catch the 9 o’clock train because of some lectures that day. Joy! Oh well, my own fault, but we were having just too much fun. Plus, I survived all the lectures that day without falling asleep!

The next two gigs were in Paradiso, Amsterdam. For the first time, studying in Amsterdam came in really handy. I could switch between concerts, lectures and homework. Awesome!  In Amsterdam I met some more nice people, among them was somebody all the way from the States. Turns out he was also present during the previous Dutch shows! Dedication folks, dedication. When the shows in ‘the sauna’, as Sharon jokingly called Paradiso because of the heat, were over there was only one show in the Netherlands left: Groningen (of course there is still Kerkrade in November, but still). It takes three hours to travel from Amsterdam to Groningen by train, not that bad right? Luckily two of my friends live near Groningen, so I met up with them to enjoy the brightly shining sun. A sunny day in September? Priceless.  When the Groningen gig was a fact, we made our way back to our lovely hotel in Groningen. We got a free room update, so we enjoyed our room to the fullest.

Well, these were only six shows. So many more to come! So many more arranging to do! So excited!

Dutch symphonic metallers Within Temptation have revealed that they are working on both a feature length movie and a new album.

The band, who are currently on tour in the UK, recorded three short movies based around parts of their latest album 'The Unforgiving', a concept album (the band's first) based around a comic book series written by Stephen O'Connell and drawn by Romano Molenaar.

"We made the short films on 'The Unforgiving' more to introduce the main characters of 'The Unforgiving' theme – the story of the comic – and to explain a little bit more about the," WT singer Sharon den Adel told Terrorizer. "We never had plans to make a movie actually, but because the comic does appeal to a lot of people, and the short movies were received very well and people were really impressed by it. So we felt maybe it's nice to do as well a full length movie about the concept of 'The Unforgiving'."

It's not yet known when we can expect this to hit our screens, but Sharon confirmed they have the creative team behind it assembled and hope to have it finished within the next few years.

Despite this project, with guitarist Robert Westerholt no longer touring with the band, instead remaining at home to work on new material and look after his and Sharon's children, the band are already hard at work on the follow up to 'The Unforgiving'.

"Because Robert is at home, he can be working on [the movie]," Sharon said. "You have a creative team and you just give your input and you're going to be involved but I don't have to be involved, because I'm on tour now. When I get home I'll be working on songs as well. Those things [touring and the film] can coexist besides each other. Because there's not a real deadline that we have [for the film], it's nice that it won't eat away the time from your new album, because that's the main thing – to bring out a new album as soon as possible."

And as to when we might expect that album, Sharon said:
"Because we have a lot of inspiration, it won't be that long, I think. We're aiming for next year – it could be the beginning of next year, it could also be just before the summer or around that period. Although we're touring just now, it's nice to start already on new things again. For us of course, we've been working on the album for two years, and are looking forward to write new songs again."

Romano signed issues of the Unforgiving Comic and drew sketches for visitors of the comic convention. After a busy day of sketching and signing, he also got the chance to look for some treasures of his own and we managed to get our hands on something very special for our huge Star Wars fan, Ruud.

This Saturday, Sharon will perform during the finale of this year’s edition of 3FM Serious Request. When the 3FM DJs are released on Christmas Eve, Sharon will perform her hit song “In and Out of Love” together with the Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren.

Serious Request is a partnership between the Dutch radio station 3FM and the Red Cross. From 2004 on, the two organisations annually try to raise money to support a good cause. Three 3FM DJs voluntarily lock themselves up in a “Glazen Huis” (House of Glass) without food and play songs requested by the audience for money, in the week before Christmas. This year Serious Request is raising money to help mothers in war zones.

During the tour we had all of you take part in our Christmas message. Sharon asked everyone to say one word to create a sentence that puzzled a lot of you…

It’s time to reveal what she was up to, now!

Entrevista

Citar
Since forming in the mid 90's, Holland's Within Temptation, led by the charismatic and gorgeous vocalist Sharon den Adel, has become one of metal's most successful female-fronted acts. Alongside the new album The Unforgiven (2011), a comic book series and a series of short films were released as well to encompass concept story. We sat down with the lovely frontlady to talk about it.

It looks like you took a different approach to making the 5th album. How did you get the idea to cross music and comics?
To answer your first question, we really took quite a turn. With The Heart Of Everything we felt we reached a certain end in developing our sound and we had to rediscover ourselves. We finalized our sound with the previous album after working towards a certain sound for many years. We had shut ourselves up from all other kinds of influences and had to renew ourselves to get inspiration to write the new album. The band had all kinds of boundaries – like never listening to the music of the 70s or the 80s - we did not want to be influenced by that cos we had a certain vision of how we should sound. This time is different. It is still Within Temptation, but we added a new flavor to it, the album sounds refreshing again. It is a good step in the right direction. Hopefully the next album that we are already working on is gonna be in the same line that the last work we have done.

Combining the album with the short movies and comic was something we wanted to do for a while now. We have always loved bands that added something more interesting to their show. As kids we loved Pink Floyd’s concept album, The Wall. We did our concept different in the way that we don’t tell the story in the chronical order but we made soundtracks to the story that we developed ourselves. The idea involving the movies came first. We wanted to release a movie with the album but it is kind of tricky cos you always have to wait until the film is finished. That wastes a lot of time in case there is a delay so we thought we might not stick to a big movie immediately but do short movies that explain the main characters of our storyline of the comic – what their background is, who they are, why they make the decisions they make in the comic. But we still thought we wanted to have something to do with the movie and produce it ourselves as well.

So the fulltime movie is still in the plans.
Yes, it is. It is going to take time of course, but we will take the time, even if it is a few years. And in the meantime we will write another album. Hopefully we get to release both simultaneously.

It also happens that two of the biggest names in symphonic metal, Within Temptation and Nightwish, have both released soundtrack concept albums in the same year. Does it worry you those two might be compared?
Not at all. If you listen to our album you will notice it is taken in an entirely different direction than Nightwish. Nightwish is still in the same corner where they have always been, in the fantasy side of things, which is great in my opinion. The movies we made are based in the real world, they are mostly realistic with a very slight fantasy touch. In our case it is more like the X-Men where characters have certain powers. So we are more on the comicbook side of things while they are more on the fantasy side. Of course when you are doing a concept album you might end up with the same set of tools, but the outcome is always different since the bands are different.

Since you specifically mentioned X-Men, was the series among the main influences for the comic?
Not the X-Men, but the books we read as we were growing up and a wide assortment of comic books we read when as kids. This is why the medium we chose was a comic book, but the story elements are more based on fiction we read as kids. What would the lead for the story be? What would motivate characters? The biggest question – how will the story end - all came from our favorite books. A lot of reporters ask me if we were inspired by Dexter, but we did not know about Dexter around the time we were working on the concept. Looking back at it now, because I have seen it in the meantime, there are some similarities in the storyline but our characters also have supernatural abilities.

How exactly was the band involved in creating the storyline? Did you have some definite suggestions about what the characters should be like, or offer some certain events to take place in the story?
We have worked with Romano Molenaar who is a comic artist. He worked on the Chronicles Of Spellborn with us for The Heart Of Everything, the Internet game that we wrote some songs for, and we stayed in contact with him. When the idea of the comic and short movies came into our minds we contacted him. “We wanna develop our own comic, do you know anyone who can write the story for us?” He came up with the American guy, Steven O’Connell. He did not have any scripts lying around at this point, and we decided we would be creating something new. We told him about what kinds of movies we liked, what storyline elements we like, and after that he came up with the basic idea of a medium that gives the second chances to the people who have made the wrong decisions in life. She gives them the second chance to live again, undo some wrongs they might have done in the past in different situations and take out the really bad guys.

How crucial are the comics to understanding the album?
We did take it into consideration that there may be a part of the audience who is not interested in the comic idea and that of course the album needs to be able to stand on its own. The music speaks for itself, it has a certain flavor going with the 80s. There is a lot of metal involved as well, sometimes some dance tunes and some pop elements. It’s an uptempo and really heavy album, I think. People of my age, a bit older and some of the young people as well will feel they are back in the 80s, it is like a good memory you can pick up again and dive into. But to answer your question, you can perfectly separate those two.

You took quite a brave move incorporating some dance and pop elements into the album. In the future is there any genre of music you would feel uncomfortable to work with?
R’n’B? [Laughs] Maybe separately from Within Temptation I would not say no but this one is the farthest away from what we are. The synonym for pop music is popular music, but this is not really what we are trying to do. To us, it is more in the direction of…

...Catchy?
Yes, catchy. We DO love catchy music. But heavy music can be catchy, too. We were afraid in the past to go through with our ideas and state that this is what we want to sound like. We felt that the 80s flavor was a bit too far from what we are as well but we still managed to incorporate it.

Are there any particular bands that influenced you?
Well, it is definitely Metallica and Iron Maiden, I think it really shows on our album. For instance the song Iron has the strong Iron Maiden vibe to it, and when we wrote Faster we thought it sounds a lot like Wicked Games by Chris Isaak. I was really inspired by Chris Isaak and when we listened to the song our first reaction was – “Nooooo, we have written a song that already exists!”But then after some more listening we understood that it is in fact really different.
But it was one of the songs I listened to a lot when I was a kid – Wicked Game. Such a sexy song! [Laughs]

When you are working on an album, do you take into account the critique from the fans and critics on your previous works, or rather entirely trust your own judgment?
You can only follow your own judgment at the moment you are making the album. When you are constantly afraid of what other people will think of your music this puts you into constraints. You have to believe in yourself and love what you are doing. It is impossible to make music for other people. Of course afterwards there are useful things that people can say and you will take it with you for the next album if you think it makes sense.

What is your favorite track of the album and the one you most enjoy performing live?
In The Middle Of The Night is one of my favorites because it is just a heavy, heavy, heavy song. The riffs are just amazing. But playing live I do think Sinead is the one that always gets to people. It is a very uplifting song.

What has touring with Stefan Helleblad been like so far?
[Laughs] We have definitely improved our English because everyone started speaking English in the band since he can’t speak Dutch. But he plants in really well and we have known him for a lot of years already. He was behind the scenes working as an engineer in the studios.

There are still very few women in the metal scene. Would you say you are treated differently by the fellow band members, the fans and the community? Also, have you ever encountered any crazy male stalkers?
[Laughs] I blend in quite nicely with the boys, I think. But when I come back from the tour I am like “Ah, it is all going to be female talk now!” You also start talking like them as well. Oh my God, what is coming out of my mouth?
I am used to having the guys around me, and they don’t treat me any differently. I would not LIKE them to treat me any differently. The only thing different for us is that I need my own room backstage. Some of the guys are really hectic, always talking, always doing something, always making sounds, and I sometimes need to concentrate and have a bit of my own space. It comes in handy if I want to focus on something, relax or warm up my voice.
And we have really wonderful fans. Of course you always have some extreme things happening, but the biggest part of our fans are really relaxed, outgoing and friendly. We usually have normal conversations without any hysterical things going on, and there is not much difference between the girls and the guys when it comes to our fans. But we had a couple encounters, especially in Italy and South America. In the North people are more reserved, but in some countries the fans might give you a car chase and the like. But it is fun in its own way! [Laughs]

What is the most important item or demand on Within Temptation’s raider?
Something to eat or drink? The guys really like the whiskey. Or scotch.

Never anything eccentric? Some performers ask for 40 kilos of ice per person or a certain make of car to pick them up.
I think they are just making it up. And they ask for those things because they want a golden halo around them. It is all made up to feel extra special. For us, just a normal cup of tea and some liquor is the real rock’n’roll kind of thing. Just to get loose before you go onstage.

So what is the best way for you to get loose before you go onstage?
I just need my own space to get into the show or to watch a DVD from a band we like with the guys, especially Iron Maiden. We get into the music and get pumped up to go onstage, that works really well for us. And we have a game system on tour with us most of the time, but this is rather for the guys. I might do a racing game once in a while, but Ruud and Robert and Jeroen are really into gaming.

What is your most vivid memory from the tour?
Martijn singing “I’m A Barbie Girl” in a karaoke bar in Tokio! Everyone was totally wasted, him included, and we had a Japanese friend with us who guided us through the city. It felt like a surreal kind of movie! Singing and eating sushi at the same time.
Also countries with a totally different culture from your own are really exciting to play. And of course there is sightseeing. Every culture has its own special things, it is always exciting to see how different people express themselves… for instance, Finland is really beautiful about the way how the people here love music. There are so many great bands coming from here and also almost everybody you meet is playing in some kind of band or has some sort of musical background.

Do you have any particular favorite Finnish band?
I like Stratovarius a lot.

What are you up to in the new year and are you planning to make any resolutions?
I am planning to dedicate more time to charity in Holland. I really like the concept of the company behind it. A lot of people would like to do volunteer work. Myself, I would love to do some when I am home, it makes me feel good to know I can help someone I don’t even know. This company is called We Care. They have a daughter company in a lot of cities. Everyone can sign up for certain days and projects. If you sign up you have to come of course, but it is not like they tell you that you have to do, for instance, 20 days a year. Sometimes, if you have more time, you can do more, and if you have less time, you can do less. For instance it can be packing gifts for children in orphanages who have never had a present from Santa Claus. People just bring gifts for them. A lot of people buy things they never get around to use, so they just bring them in for the kids instead of letting those items sit in the closets. And you just sort the items according to age, package them and write down the name. The person who got me into this said they now have a whole warehouse full of packages, and the people just kept coming and coming. It is such a good feeling to do something good. I am going to do more for that company in the next year, and I hope I am able to also give the project more exposure by doing more work for them. This would be lovely.

2012 started of great by wining 3 Loudwire Music Awards! Tnxxx í  lot for voting for us! After all your nice words it’s safe to say that we can only thank you for this, as Loudwire reported:

“Within Temptation fans proved their devotion by helping the band win two of the biggest honors in the 2011 Loudwire Music Awards — Artist of the Year and Rock Album of the Year. In the Artist of the Year category, Within Temptation beat out 9 other very deserving bands.”

And also in Loudwire self acclaimed most important category, ‘Rock Goddess of the Year’ you helped Sharon out to win this title.

“In our most popular category, Within Temptation singer Sharon den Adel edged out Evanescence singer Amy Lee to win the Rock Goddess of the Year in the 2011 Loudwire Music Awards.

More than 50,000 fans voted in the Rock Goddess of the Year category, and only a few hundred votes separated Sharon den Adel from Amy Lee. The Within Temptation frontwoman received 40.5% of the vote, while the Evanescence vocalist garnered 39% of the vote.

It was a fierce battle, but credit must go out to den Adel and her adoring fans, who voted religiously throughout the past month.”

PRESS RELEASE:

Sharon den Adel completed a South-American tour with her band Within Temptation this week, visiting 7 countries and performing sold out shows in Mexico, Sí£o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Meanwhile, partner Robert Westerholt chose the Scottish Highlands as díécor for the upcoming theater tour.

Together with a set team, Westerholt is working on the creation and production of the new theater show of Within Temptation, which will be kicked off in March this year. The band chose the highlands as main line in the díécor of the theater show. “The great unknown beauty and mystic of the Highlands go hand in hand with the lesser known softer and folkloristic songs of Within Temptation,” says Westerholt.

The visual aspects of the show are playing a larger role in the Within Temptation show. The visuals shot in the highlands will be projected on the largest LED-screen that has ever been used in the Dutch theaters and will be combined with life-like 3D projections.

For months you were able to follow us on the road. We tried to give you an unique behind the scenes view on touring with The Unforgiving Tour.

In this last European Vlog Video you’ll see some footage from Finland and Russia! Look closely you might recognize yourself. Our fans from South America can expect a video report coming up next month.

But for now the last European Vlog Video:

A few months ago we announced a new tour for the Dutch Theaters. Slowly we started to reveal some of the details about what you can expect. Tomorrow is premiere night… time to fit the puzzle together by giving you some last details about the show. Don’t worry there is much more that we didn’t told you yet  .

Within Temptation’s theater tour 2012 is called: Sanctuary.

When you visit a theater, you can always sense a sort of magic – there’s a very special feeling floating in the air, something out of the ordinary. Maybe it’s the history of the building you’re in, or imagining all the different shows that took place there, and the visitors who felt the joy, the tension and the mystery of what they were about to see.

Whether we go to the theater as visitors or perform there ourselves, with Within Temptation we always have that special feeling. This is why every few years we work hard to create a new show to perform in the theaters. Another reason- in addition to the magical and intimate ambiance the theaters offer- is that this is also the perfect environment to experiment creatively with our music and our show. This gives us the unique opportunity to approach and do things differently than we would on a ‘normal’ stage. This is most definitely the case for our new 2012 theater show.

A lot of things you’ll see in our show will be new and quite different from what you’ve seen from us before.

When selecting and listening to our songs we noticed how well they fit together and how much they have in common, both stylistically and lyrically. More and more, we also realized that by putting these songs in a certain order we were actually creating a story. As the visuals and movies we use during our shows have become a bigger and bigger part of our shows, this new story gave us the perfect opportunity to create new film material. This not only shows the story line visually, but supports the musical story as well.

So this is how our film crew ended up in Scotland, in the Highlands- a landscape so beautiful that reality and fantasy seem to go hand in hand.

The perfect background to this story…

Scotland. The Highlands, 1895. A young boy, sick, is lying in his bed.  He has been there for days now, infected by an unknown virus causing a dangerous fever.

As the fever gets stronger, his consciousness fades away, further and further from reality. He slips away into a dream world. He is a grown man now; a warrior or Holy man of some kind; strong and determined. Traveling the landscape, which is enchantingly familiar, yet surreal and unknown.

Now and then, when the fever stabilizes for a short while, the real world shines through. Sometimes in forms and shapes that fit his dream world -his mother, the doctor, the local priest… they all try to help him but seem powerless to do so.

Though tempting, he is not quite ready to stay in this sanctuary, not ready to say goodbye… and so he travels on and on… searching for a way out.

We hope to see you during our Sanctuary tour,

Within Temptation.

We invited cellist Jonas Pap to join us during the Sanctuary Tour. We asked him to answer some questions to be able to introduce him to you!

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

I’m 28 years old and involved with music full time. As a musician I travel a lot, so I recently moved to Utrecht from Zwolle as it’s easier to live somewhere central. I’m not completely settled in Utrecht yet, though. Zwolle is a bit more spacious and I know a lot less people in Utrecht.

What inspired you to become a cellist?

I started playing the cello as a 5-year-old boy and I never even considered calling it quits. Both of my parents are trained musicians and helped me develop a very broad interest in music, therefore I feel no need to adjust myself to a certain style of music. I’ve studied heavy music as well as light music at the conservatorium. I’ve studied classical music in Zwolle, light music in Arnhem and Latin at the World Music department in Rotterdam.

What is it like to vary in different music genres as a cellist?

Being able to play different styles and formations makes it interesting to make music. The diversity keeps playing the cello fresh and interesting.

What do you expect of your upcoming performances in Within Temptation’s Dutch Theater Tour?

I have good experiences with Within Temptation. I’ve joined them before; during the last two theater tours, shows in Het Beursgebouw, and a performance at Radio 538. I also enjoyed working on ‘The Heart of Everything’ very much. WT shows are large and spectacular and cause a great source of energy, which makes it really cool to be part of.

What other projects have you worked on where we might know you from?

Other bands in this genre I’ve worked with as well are Epica and After Forever. I’ve also played with many pop bands such as Kyteman’s Hip Hop Orchestra, Bertofl, and A Balladeer and joined Herman van Veen and Esther Groenenberg in the theater. Aside from those projects I’ve also recorded parts of albums of Mathilde Santing, Veldhuis en Kemper, Daniel Lohues, and Abel. Most of the music projects I’m part of are with my string quartet ‘the Red Limo String Quartet’.

What’s the most memorable experience in your musical career?

What I thought was very impressive was the time I joined Within Temptation at the Bevrijdingsfestival in Zwolle. I was still living in Zwolle at the time and we were performing in front of about 100.000 people. A lot of my friends were in the audience as well, which made it very special. Also the success of the Kyteman tour in 2009 was overwhelming, as we had no idea the tour would be such a hit.

What keeps you busy besides music?

My two beautiful ladies: Maartje, my girlfriend and Amíélie, my two month old daughter.

Due to circumstances we had a little surprise for our fans in Tilburg last Saturday.

Because Ruud had injured his back before the show in Tilburg he was forced to play the first half of the show only, while sitting down. There was only one person to turn to for the second half: Robert!

It had been a while since Robert had been on stage which made things a bit shaky at first, but as always we could count on you, the audience, to also rock the second half.

We’ll keep you up to date on how Ruud is doing and let’s hope he can get back on stage as soon as possible!

Today we got the news that the festival we would be playing this summer Sonisphere UK got cancelled.  As soon as we have other news on UK festivals we’ll let you know!

Please find the official statement of the organisation below:

“It is with very heavy hearts and much regret that we announce the cancellation of Sonisphere Knebworth 2012.

Putting the festival together in what is proving to be a very challenging year was more difficult than we anticipated and we have spent the last few months fighting hard to keep Sonisphere in the calendar.

Unfortunately circumstances have dictated that we would be unable to run the festival to a standard that both the artists and that Sonisphere’s audience would rightly expect.

We want to express our deepest regrets to the artists and to thank all the staff, suppliers and contractors who worked so hard with us to try and pull off what has proven to be an impossible task and we know how much they share in our disappointment. We also want to send a huge thanks to the Sonisphere fans who stuck by us and we are so sorry that we can’t fulfil what we set out to do.

Ticket holders will automatically receive a full refund direct from their ticket agents.

Team Sonisphere.”

Hello,
Wow, the last time that you heard from us we were in the middle of our Sanctuary tour. As we speak the tour is a signed, sealed and delivered deal! We've revisited the boundaries of the theater stage, seen wonderful venues, met people from all over the world, and took all of you on a musical journey to the beautiful Scottish Highlands.

Currently we're busy preparing ourselves for the festival season. Don't think that's all we're doing right now though.. we're busy with a lot of new exciting projects but guess what.. we can't tell anything about it yet.. Okay maybe one hint.. It's exceeding everything you've ever seen, heard or experienced from us before.

Make sure to keep an eye on our website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or any communication tools we're on, as we'll reveal more about this in the upcoming weeks.

We also announced 2 clubs shows that we're doing in between the festivals: On the 10th of July we'll be giving a club show in Beirut at Forum de Beyrouth, Lebanon. And on the 18th of August we'll be performing at the E-Werk in Saarbrí¼cken, Germany.

For those who've seen us play during the Unforgiving South America Tour in February, or anybody else who's curious ;-), we'll post a tour report on YouTube soon but until then enjoy the preview!

It’s exceeding everything you’ve ever seen, heard or experienced from us before…

And it’s called: Elements.

Since the release of Enter in 1997, things have skyrocketed for us. We were able to share and play our music all over the world and received so much appreciation from you. We got the chance to grow and become Holland’s most successful rock band internationally.

We are celebrating our anniversary with an incredible concert on the 13th of November in Sportpaleis Antwerpen, Belgium. The anniversary show, Elements, will be the most significant event in the history of Within Temptation.

The title represents the kind of music and live shows we are known for – the melodius, crystal clear voice of Sharon, the massive guitar riffs, the orchestral and Celtic influences and the always surprising musical collaborations.

Energetic performance, musical mastery, and visually thrilling elements ranging from impressive set designs to fireworks and specially made films and videos. Everything you have witnessed in the last 15 years will be topped during the anniversary show in Antwerp.

We will share the stage with some unexpected guests and  can already tell you that we will also be accompanied by the renowned Il Novecento Orchestra.

In the upcoming months we will reveal more details about the show but more importantly, we will celebrate our anniversary with you. A lot of exciting things coming up so please keep an eye on our website, newsletter or social media tools to make sure you are the first one to know.

Ticket sales start on Friday the 11th of May at 11 AM (CET).

 

Tickets are available through:

We’re playing at De Zwarte Cross in Lichtenvoorde, the Netherlands on the 20th of July!

De Zwarte Cross is one of the largest festivals in Holland and it offers much more than music alone. The festival has 14 different stages to host not only musical acts, but also theatrical performances and gets the adrenalin juices flowing with exciting stunts!

We’re really looking forward to playing here and a lot of exciting things are going to happen whilst we’re on stage! We’ll be performing on the Mainstage at night and the organization is planning on putting together an impressive show during our performance, including fireworks!

For more information on De Zwarte Cross: www.zwartecross.nl!

See you there?

Entrevista

Citar
The Unforgiving, Within Temptation’s last album, was released a year ago and showed that the band’s new ambition is to go further than the actual music framework. We interviewed Sharon del Adel, WT’s lead singer, when the band played at the Main Square Festival in Arras, France. She answered our questions about both the future of the band and The Unforgiving’s concept.

Given the answers, the latest news on the band are very hot, because Robert Westerholt, Sharon’s husband who stepped down from touring for family reasons, might already have composed songs for the next album. Within Temptation is also preparing a full-length movie related to The Unforgiving and a special anniversary show in November.

“If you have trouble putting a song out like that, then it won’t work : there is something wrong with it.”
Radio Metal : A few months ago, you played for the first time in Peru. How was it ?

Sharon Den Adel (vocals) : It was amazing. When you play in countries you’ve never been to before, when you meet different cultures, it’s like the icing on the cake. It was a completely new experience for everyone in the band. Moreover, the audience was great.

How would you describe the metal fans there ? Is there a big audience for this kind of music ?

I’m not sure because the metal scene over there is quite underground, even if the audience is very intense and active : you don’t need 10 000 people to have a great show. The metal community is small, but if it gets a good exposure, it will be better.

You did a theater tour at the beginning of the year. It’s not the first time you play acoustic or semi acoustic shows. Is it a way of playing that inspires the band ? Is this how you first compose your songs ?

We use sometimes acoustic guitars when we start writing songs, sometimes the piano and from there we develop them. Regarding our theater tour, our music is usually seen as “bombastic”, « heavy » and “big”, and by doing this tour, we showed that we could play our songs in more intimate shows.

It is often said that when a song is written acoustically, it is the best way to see if it’s good or not : do you agree with that ?

Yes, I totally agree with this. If you have trouble putting a song out like that, then it won’t work : there is something wrong with it.

Is it possible that one day, you’ll record an acoustic album ?

As we have done so many different things in the past, never say never (laughs), but as we like electric guitars and the heavy metal sound, it’s not a thing that we first stand for, and our fans like the way we are on stage. But it is an option.

“We have a big show in Belgium, on November the 13, and we’ll celebrate 15 years of Within Temptation. Robert will be there, obviously ! (laughs) Older members will come too. We’ll show some movies we’ve made, some parts of the show will be symphonic”

How is Robert (Robert Westerholt, guitar, co-founder of Within Temptation) dealing with the fact that he has stopped touring ? Does he miss being on stage ?

Yes, he misses it a bit, but it is still the best way to combine two separate worlds and for Within Temptation to continue. Moreover, he is always involved in everything that concerns the band behind the scenes, and especially the creative process.

Will he play again live in a few years, when your kids are older ?

Yes, maybe. But talking about Robert, we have a big show in Belgium, on November the 13, and we’ll celebrate 15 years of Within Temptation. Robert will be there, obviously ! (laughs) Older members will come too. We’ll show some movies we’ve made, some parts of the show will be symphonic : we’ve been around for such a long time, thanks to the fans of course, so we’ll remember with the them all the highlights of these past 15 years.

A lot of bands are starting to celebrate their old days by playing an old album in its entirety. Have you thought of doing that with one of your first albums like Enter or Mother Earth ?

No, because we play our favorite songs during a show. We’ve always have done so in the past too, so an entire album, I don’t know, maybe ! (laughs)

“We’ve already written six songs, so we’re working fast : these six songs will be on the album and are very good. It surprises me, because sometimes it’s a real struggle to write new songs, but apparently, The Unforgiving album is quite inspiring and we’ll continue in that direction.”
Do you think that as Robert writes music at home, this situation can have an impact on the way he writes music ?

No, because he has always been involved in writing songs since the beginning. After the festivals we’re doing now, I’ll have some time for writing songs for the new album,. The same people who have been working on the previous albums will be involved too, like Martijn (Martijn Spierenburg, keyboards). I must say that we’ve already written six songs, so we’re working fast : these six songs will be on the album and are very good. It surprises me, because sometimes it’s a real struggle to write new songs, but apparently, The Unforgiving album is quite inspiring and we’ll continue in that direction.

By stepping down from touring, Robert showed that the most important thing in life is family. Do you think that some musicians tend to forget that and focus maybe too much on music ?

Eveybody’s different. We found it important to do it, other people will may find important to do it too : everyone has to make choices and I can’t judge what other people do in their own lives.

The Unforgiving is a concept album that develops a story based on a comic book. The video clips and your live show is linked to that story. Do you intend to go further in that way of writing albums ? For example, have you thought of making a movie, like Nightwish did for Imaginaerum for example ?

We’ve already made three short movies for our last album and a year ago, we started to write a script for a full-length movie, but we’re not sure when we’ll release it, because we do not want our album to suffer from this project. Once ready, everybody will know.

Since you have this very special live show linked to the story, can we expect a live DVD at the end of the tour ?

I’m not sure. We have some backstage and live stuff but we do not know if it’s usable. We also don’t know how the show will be good, how it will sound and if things will be recorded the right way : when you make a DVD it has to be a magical show.

At the beginning, Within Temptation was a symphonic gothic metal band and since, the band has moved towards a more pop oriented music. Have you experienced some aggressive reactions from pure metal fans ?

No, we’ve never have actually because we’ve always been a band with « catchy » songs : we’re not Slayer (rires) ! Within Temptation has always been very melodic : I think that people who liked us at the start will like the new songs. Of course, people come and go, but we’re a band that changes with every album, because our tastes change too: it’s a natural thing for us. Some excellent bands have the ability to stay the same and on top like Iron Maiden for example, which is amazing, but we’re not capable of doing that.

A lot of well known female fronted symphonic metal bands come from The Netherlands. How could you explain that ? What so special about the Netherlands and female fronted bands ?

Maybe because this style has proven to be succesful and people get inspired by it. Bands also have the opportunity to get signed and record an album. Record companies also see that there is a market for that kind of music : that’s how it works I think ! (laughs) If you live in a country where there are no bands to compare yourself to, where bands haven’t been successful, then it is harder for you.

PRESS RELEASE:

The symphonic rock band Within Temptation started working together with the Dutch fashion designer Jan Boelo. The designer announced he is working on designing apparel for Within Temptation during the launch of his new clothing line “JAN BOELO Running into Headlights” at the Amsterdam Fashion Week.

Within Temptation’s lead singer, Sharon den Adel, has been involved in the design process as well. “Jan’s designs are tough looking and daring, but executed with class and a very recognizable unique style. This is something that speaks to us and suits the band and music very well,” says den Adel.

“Within Temptation’s shows are impressive and have a huge impact. This is something that inspires me as a designer. To be able to work with the band and design their clothes is fantastic,” says Boelo.

The band members already wear some of the designs on stage as they are hitting festival stages throughout Europe this summer. The band and Jan Boelo aim to finish all the designs before Within Temptation’s 15-year-anniversary show on the 13th of November 2012 in Antwerps Sportpaleis.

This morning, we announced that in the upcoming weeks we will be covering some songs for Q-Music Belgium’s ‘De Ochtend Show’. The covers will be revealed by Sharon every week, during ‘Within Temptation Friday’.

Following up Born Crain, Stan van Samang and VanVelzen, it’s our turn this season to “Within Temptationize” some songs that are close to us or might turn out to be the least expected.

It will be a musical adventure but also a great way to do something special for you.

Our first cover will be aired on Friday the 7th of September. Make sure you tune in to Q-Music Belgium every ‘Within Temptation Friday’, as Sharon will reveal the story behind the chosen songs on the phone.

 

PS. Don’t tell anybody, the first cover will be Coldplay – Paradise.

For our first cover, we chose Paradise by Coldplay because we think this is a beautiful song. It’s not the first thing that comes to mind when you talk about Coldplay and Within Temptation, but for us it was not difficult to find some musical similarities which inspired us to make our version.

As you know Q-Music asked us to cover songs for ‘Within Temptation Friday’ during this fall. Every week we’re busy Within Temptationizing songs as part of this musical adventure.

The perfect opportunity to challenge ourselves by sometimes picking songs that might be unexpected and not close to us at all.

So far we have produced five songs for Q-Music already. You can find all the covers plus the reason why we choose these specific songs on the Q-Music cover page.

Five down, ten to go, plenty of surprises coming up!

This afternoon you can listen to Q-Music NL, to hear Sharon talk about our cover of ‘Dirty Dancer’.

Another Within Temptation Friday on Q-Music, which means another Q-Music cover!

This morning we revealed our version of ‘Titanium’ by David Guetta and Sia.

Again we made our version of this song a bit heavier than the original song and we added some guitar solos to the song.

You can listen to our version of Titanium on the Q-Music Belgium website.

Enjoy!

This morning, Sharon revealed this week’s cover on Q-Music. We made our own version of ‘Behind Blue Eyes’ by The Who.

This song is a type of song that doesn’t get old. The vocals are still relevant. Behind Blue Eyes is still as good of a song at it was when it was written and if you make a 2012 version of the song it works just as well as it did in the 70’s.

You can listen to our version of ‘Behind Blue Eyes’ on the Q-Music website. Click on the headphones underneath the picture to start the recording.

Enjoy this week’s cover!

It’s Within Temptation Friday on Q-Music, which means we got to reveal another cover song on the radio this morning. Today, Sharon revealed our version of Lana Del Rey’s song ‘Summertime Sadness’.

“This song is one of my favorite songs and I’m glad we got to cover a song by Lana Del Rey. I get goose bumps when I listen to her. She’s a remarkable person, not only her music interests me, but also her story. By reading information about her, you’ll notice she’s such a colorful person, you could make a complete movie about her alone.”

Yesterday, right before our first Elements try-out sow, Sharon revealed this week’s cover on Q-Music NL. This time we chose ‘Apologize’ by One Republic.

“This has always been somewhat of a special song to us. Sometimes songs trigger certain memories. The thing with songs is that you can think a song is great, but when you find yourself in a certain situation that very song can hit you in your core all of a sudden. We think this is a beautiful song to start with and it has great vocal lines.”

In the upcoming weeks, Q-Music Belgium will still be calling in with Sharon for Within Temptation Friday.

This morning, Sharon revealed our version of ‘Don’t You Worry Child’ by the Swedish House Mafia in ‘De Ochtendshow’.

“We really sat down to try and find new songs we could record. We were kind of running out of songs on our short list for the show, so we were looking for cool new songs that are in the charts at this moment. I actually didn´t know the Swedish House Mafia up until the point they decided to split up, but they have really cool songs and this particular song is the best one by far.”

Una critica de Elements

Citar
It was May when Within Temptation announced their intention to celebrate their 15 years in the music scene with a special show called “Elements”. The band would be accompanied by the Il Novecento Orchestra along with some special guest artists. So, on November the 13th I found myself in one of Antwerp’s biggest stadiums called “Sportpaleis” surrounded by 24.000 other people, anxiously waiting for the celebration to begin. The show was completely sold out, by the way! This was not surprising at all; Within Temptation’s fans are very loyal to their favorite band. A huge screen was covering the stage and the seats for the orchestra were already set, but the thing that totally caught my attention was the huge triangular box hanging from the roof decorated with various symbols and with two screens on its sides.
At around 8 o’clock a documentary of different behind-the-scenes footage from the band’s album recordings and tours, started playing on the huge screen. It seemed interesting but unfortunately there was neither sound nor subtitles so it ended up being boring. While the crowd was watching this footage, the orchestra and the choir took their seats on the stage. The anticipation was growing! After 50 minutes the documentary finished and a video related to the “unforgiving” comic book series started playing on the screen while the maestro gave the downbeat to signal the beginning of this amazing show. The intro of “The Silent Force” album started off (the track was re-arranged with some small changes especially for this show). Within Temptation band members came on stage, while the triangular box slowly started coming down and a little girl dressed in black and dancing (actually, she was imitating Sharon’s “weird” dancing moves on stage) appeared along with them. To (almost) everyone’s surprise the band started playing “Iron”, a guitar- driven song from their latest album entitled “The Unforgiving”. The box came down, hiding the girl and when it went up again the girl had given her place to Sharon Den Adel who started singing dressed in a fabulous long black dress. She was also wearing a golden mask on her face (a small detail that made her whole outfit looking totally amazing). While she was running across the stage, she made the audience jumping and screaming “oh damn” along with her! The black dress came off revealing a golden corset and a golden skirt (it was something like “Lady Gaga meets Wonder woman”). “In the Middle of the Night” followed giving Robert the chance to make his appearance in an unusual way. The box was being lowered again but this time Robert was on top of it playing the guitar and making the crowd go wild! After two more songs from “The Unforgiving” album (“Faster” and “Fire and Ice”), the set continued with the fan- favorite tracks: “Our Solemn Hour”, “Stand My Ground” and “Angels” (in which Sharon put on white wings just like in the videoclip of the track).
An acoustic set of “The Last Dance”, “Never-Ending Story” and “Say My Name” followed in which Sharon (now dressed in a green dress) and the boys were joined on stage by special drummers, stilt dancers, three little girls (dancers) and Within Temptation’s ex-band member Ivar De Graaf who played the acoustic guitar.
The next track on the set list was “Candles”, a song from their very first record called “Enter” in which Sharon was accompanied on the vocals by the grunter virtuoso George Oosthoek (ex-Orphanage). Three dancers appeared on the stage again (they were performing some kind of modern dance performance) and the band was also joined by their ex-members Martijn Westerholt (Delain) on keyboards and Michiel Papenhove on guitars. The song “Sinead” followed immediately. For me, that was easily one of the greatest moments of that epic night. Despite the fact of being in the middle of the concert Sharon didn’t seem tired at all and continued jumping and running across the stage. We were all screaming “oh oh oh Sinead” and the disco balls that appeared made us go crazy! “Titanium” (by David Guetta feat. Sia), “Summertime Sadness” (by Lana Del Rey) and “Grenade” (by Bruno Mars), three of the band’s latest cover songs followed. These tracks fitted perfectly with the “pop” mood of “Sinead” (something that I was not really expecting) and the band seemed to enjoy playing their latest releases. One of my favorite songs, the epic and bombastic “The Promise”, was next. The orchestra, Sharon (now dressed in a white Mother Earth-era like dress) singing in a more operatic way (oh yes! She made her well-known evil/witch-like face expressions, too!), the fireworks and the whole band gave their best in order to make the song the most spectacular moment of the night. “Memories”, taken from their album “The Silent Force”, followed, and after that, the all-time classic Within Temptation song (“Mother Earth”) which featured a more prominent role for the choir! Sharon encouraged the crowd to sing along with her, while she was surrounded by inflatable thorny trees. The band left the stage but of course the night was not over. The encore was yet to come! “What Have You Done”, one of their biggest hits, was coming. The crowd filled in for Mina (Keith) Caputo’s vocals while the videoclip of the track was playing on the huge videowall. The sweet ballad “Our Farewell” from the “Mother Earth” album followed. The soprano Isabella Scholten dressed in a beautiful white long dress joined Sharon on the stage and they performed a supreme duet! Then, it was now time for another Within Temptation famous song: “Ice Queen”. I have to admit that the crowd sang their lungs out together with Sharon and the flowing confetti that was falling on us made the whole moment even more magical! Of course all good things (or should I say awesome things?) come to an end. Within Temptation finished this amazing show with the power ballad “Stairway to the Skies”- a suitable song to say goodnight- . Sharon and Robert thanked us for being there and for supporting them for the past 15 years and after a gracious bow left the stage!
While I was extremely tired (soaring knees, no voice at all, ready to go to bed and sleep for days and stuff like that!) I realized what was so awesome about that show: in only a few hours we watched Within Temptation’s evolution through time. From the pure gothic metal era of “Enter”, to the more mainstream rock era of “The Unforgiving”. From songs like “Candles” to songs like “Sinead”, we witnessed every “element” of what made Within Temptation who they are today! A dream came true that night! And indeed, it exceeded everything we have ever seen, heard of experienced form this band before! Thank you Within Temptation!

It’s Within Temptation Friday on Q-Music Belgium! This morning, Sharon revealed a new song we turned into a Within Temptation-song.

Some of you had already guessed which song it would be, with the hints we’d given. This week’s cover is ‘Little Lion Man’ by Mumford & Sons.

“This is an amazing band, and not only this song is great, they have so many songs that are absolutely incredible.  We were warned about covering a song from this band, as this is one of Q-Music Kurt’s favorite bands. We hope he still likes us after this cover, because we turned it into something completely different. Mumford & Sons have a real folk sound with a lot of energy, which is something you don’t hear in a lot of folk music. It’s not close to our music style at all as we approach music completely different and use different instruments, which makes it quite the challenge.”

Things did not go about their usual way this morning, as Q-Music could not reach Sharon because apparently her phone was still locked even though she was on Twitter with all of you. So it was a little later than usual, but Q-Music did manage to get a hold on her!

This morning, we were guests in the radio show ‘Evers Staat Op’ on the Dutch radio station Radio538 to play a total of 3 songs.

This was one of the few times we performed songs completely electric instead of acoustic as we’ve done on the radio before. Edwin Evers talked to Sharon about the covers and how these came to be, touring over the world and highlights of our carreer, before we played Grenade, Faster and Never Ending Story.

Sharon will help Q-Music Belgium raise money for children in Belgium by recording the chorus for ‘het Meneer Konijnlied’.

Q-Music started a campaign to raise money for a charity for children called ‘vzw Kindergeluk’ in January of this year. A cuddly toy called Meneer Konijn (Mr. Bunny), that belonged to a little girl who passed away 2 months after birth, has been travelling around the world and raising money for the charity with every kilometer it travelled.

Sharon is joining in the campaign by recording a part of the title song for Meneer Konijn. Q-Music is hoping to have the song complete by tomorrow morning, when Sharon will also be on ‘De Ochtendshow’ to reveal this week’s cover. Tune in to Q-Music Belgium tomorrow to hear the result!

Up ’til now, Meneer Konijn has travelled over 254.500,00 KM and raised over 5.000,00 euro.

For this Within Temptation Friday, we made our very own version of Adele’s ‘Skyfall’.

Last week we turned an up tempo song into a ballad. This week… this ballad is no longer a ballad! We were working on this until 00.45 AM last night and got to present it to you this morning.

n the spirit of Christmas we created our very last cover for the special ‘coming home show for Meneer Konijn’ this morning. Meneer Konijn’s arrival was a lot of fun with many people who gathered to meet him at the airport. In the midst of all the excitement we got to present our cover of ‘The Power of Love’ by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

This final cover completes the Q-Music project we’ve been working on for the last couple of months. We really enjoyed working on this project and it was a lot of fun to be on ‘De Ochtendshow’ early in the morning. We learned a lot from rewriting all of these songs such as the way the songs are written and built up. We’ve known some of the songs for years, but when we really started to look into them we found a lot of new elements in the songs.

We have been working on a lot of the songs until late at night because we wanted to get as much out of the songs as possible. So the mornings after were rather early!

“The Power of Love is one of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever, if you ask me. The only problem with covering this song is, how are you going to cover the most beautiful song ever? It remains a beautiful song, we tried to turn it into something different.”

HILVERSUM, 28 JANUARY 2013 – Multi-million-selling Dutch symphonic rock band Within Temptation have signed a masters deal with BMG for their upcoming album, expected in September 2013, in partnership with their management AT Productions & Eye Sound.

Formed in 1996 by long-term partners Sharon den Adel (vocals) and Robert Westerholt (guitar), Within Temptation combine the epic scale of movie soundtracks with dark gothic and metal influences.

The band has sold over three million albums worldwide scoring 30 Gold and Platinum awards.

Previously signed to traditional record companies, Within Temptation have now opted for the BMG masters model which offers a partnership-based approach to releasing records in which artist and company jointly agree every aspect of a release including budget, and artists potentially earn far more than is possible under legacy recording deals.

Within Temptation first broke through into the European mainstream with their second album Mother Earth, in 2000, which went Top Five in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany where the album is certified Platinum. The follow-ups The Silent Force (2004) and The Heart of Everything (2007) saw the band’s success grow further international with successful releases in key markets such as the United States, United Kingdom and Japan.

Their 2011 album The Unforgiving was a concept album accompanied by a comic book and a series of short movies. It marked a radical shift in the band’s musical style combining their hallmark powerful melodies with influences from late Eighties and early Nineties rock.

Within Temptation are a huge live draw, playing festivals and shows across the world from Western and Eastern Europe to Russia, South America and beyond.

Said Dominique Kulling, Vice President New Recordings/TV & Film at BMG, “Within Temptation have always had a history of independently handling their own releases. It was a consequent step to sign to BMG’s masters model as it fits their personal needs perfectly. We are looking forward to combining our strengths on this great project.”

Said Frank Bruens, Managing Director BMG Benelux, “Within Temptation are among Holland’s most successful bands and a phenomenal export-sensation. We are very proud to have signed them as local act to our alternative masters deal and we feel honored to extend and intensify our relation with Sharon, Robert, the band and their management.”

Sharon den Adel, Within Temptation, stated, “We are very happy to announce a new album is coming up. We really look forward to working with the BMG team and their partners for the release. They offered us a great set-up that really fits our needs in a rapidly changing music industry.”

We are looking forward to the moment that we can share with you where this journey has taken us.

We are excited to have found a new enthusiastic label partner, BMG Rights, with whom are aiming for a release in autumn, which perfectly fits the mood of the album. As soon as we can, we will share more information about the new album. In the mean time we will see you on the road this summer!

Within Temptation releases cover album in collaboration with Q-Music

The collaboration between Within Temptation and Q-Music gets a new episode: after the successful broadcast of several covers, which Within Temptation arranged and performed for the radio station by the end of 2012, the band will now release a selection of these covers on an album titled ‘The Q-Music Sessions’ on the 19th of April in the Netherlands and Belgium.

In the run up to the 15th anniversary of Within Temptation in the sold-out Sportpaleis in Antwerp, the band was asked by Q-Music to choose and perform an existing track in a ‘Within Temptation-fashion’ on a weekly basis. The band accepted this challenge enthusiastically that resulted in reworks of hits by David Guetta, Passenger, Lana Del Rey and Bruno Mars amongst others. The feedback on these covers by the fans and listeners of Q-Music was extremely positive, which made the band decide to release a selection of the covers on an album.

Front-lady Sharon Den Adel: “Our approach was to really make the cover a new Within Temptation song. So not going the easy way by using only a piano or an acoustic guitar for example, but really trying to put all the elements of a Within Temptation track in this new version. It was quite a challenge because we had only one week to get it right, while recording an original Within Temptation song can sometimes takes up half a year! But this pressure also gave us an creative boost and it was very rewarding to get it done in time each week. Also, we learned a lot from the in-depth analysis we needed to make on these hits, written by others, in combination with implementing our own sound and style in each new cover. We are glad that we’ve taken up this challenge and are very proud of the result.’’

At this moment, Within Temptation is working on their upcoming studio album that is due in the last quarter of 2013. In January 2014, the band will embark on a worldwide tour, with tickets for shows in the United Kingdom, France and Germany already on sale.

You can find a complete overview of our shows this summer and the first shows of our World Tour in 2014, on the Tourpage.

Album progress
This week, we've been working on finalizing lyrics for three songs for the new album for the first time. We need these lyrics because we will start recording the drums for these songs in early May and it's so much nicer to record drums when there are roughly recorded vocals and guitars to drum to.

We had forgotten how intense it can be to write lyrics. As we always try to write about what moves us, this comes with an emotional price. It does feel exciting to be in this next stage of making this album. Sharon is recording the first song with the new lyrics today. Next week we are recording more vocals with more lyrics. We'll keep you up to date!

We can announce our support act for the first shows of our World Tour in 2014!

The Dutch Symphonic Metal band Delain will be opening up for us at our shows in France, Germany, the UK, Belgium and The Netherlands. Check the dates below!

Delain was founded by Martijn Westerholt – Robert’s brother and ex-Within Temptation member – and front woman Charlotte Wessels, in 2002. Martijn left Within Temptation due to an illness shortly after the release of Mother Earth, after which he co-founded Delain. The band released their debute album “Lucidity” in 2006, for which Sharon was asked to join in for the song “No Compliance”.

Last year, Robert and Sharon also featured in the music video for “We Are the Others”.

It was a week beyond expectations. We are all a bit in seventh heaven (mmm nice title for a song). We planned to do a drumrecording test for one or two songs and ended up with five. And the best of all...we've never been so happy with the sound, it is exactly how we wanted it to sound and might just be even better.

For this album we are trying to find an organic, natural yet big drum sound. When trying to find this kind of sound, the sound of the room you are recording drums in is just as important as the sound of the drumkit and the drummer. We were searching for a studio with a big hall, that sounds rich and warm.

After visting and listening to many studio rooms, we decided to check the MCO studios, where we rehearsed and recorded orchestra for "The Black Symphony" and "Utopia" with the Metropole Orchestra. The MCO building is mainly used for classical music and has 5 different studios, from pretty big to huge rooms.

And yeah... we found the hall of our dreams. We ended up recording at the MCO studio 4, which is actually a hall used mainly for rehearsals of the Dutch Broadcast Choir (Groot Omroepkoor). They hardly do recordings there and we're sure we were the first ones to record drums there, ever. The sound of the hall is truly beautiful, exactly what we wanted.

We started on Monday, bringing all of the gear in and setting up, checking mics and drums 'till we got the sound right. We had a day off on the very first Kingsday on Tuesday and Mike started recording songs on Wednesday. He recorded drums for a new WT album for the very first time, and he did an amazing job. He played for ten hours in a row without loosing energy.

So here we are, having recorded drums for 5 songs. Damn we're looking forward to finishing the songs now! Next week we're finishing more lyrics and we will record some vocals... an exciting week once again.

A great weekend to ya'all!

We have received many questions regarding the very last video of The Unforgiving Tour Vlog.

As many of you noticed, we still owe you one more video from our South American Tour: Brazil. Due to Elements and recording songs for Q-music every week, we weren’t able to collect all of our shots and post the video. However, at the start of the new festival season, we are presenting to you… The Unforgiving Tour Vlog: video #24! The very last one.

Check out the final video to watch Sharon take you to the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio, see if you can find yourself waiting in front of the venue and see if you can spot yourself in the crowd during the show.

Robert's update on deadlines and the release of the first single:

This week we received the release schedule of the first single, album, videoshoot, photos, artwork, and everything else that needs to be created. Of course we already knew the schedule but damn…deadlines are coming closer all the time.

Luckily, we already got some work done this week. The drums are being prepared for recording Bass and Guitar, next week. Sharon and I are working on lyrics and we scheduled recording days with our producer Daniel.

It's defenitely going to be a hot sommer for us, taking place in the studio... We do really like recording a new record during the summer, though. It always gives us a lot more energy and good spirit.

Oh yeah, we can already reveal that we're finishing the first single at the 16th of June. Pretty close huh? We can't tell you the release date yet, though... Shall we tell you something about what the track is going to sound like?

Ok... next week ;-)

Robert's update: Panic and videos

Last  Monday was all about base recordings. Jeroen went to Graveland Studio and recorded base with Arno at the wheel of the studio for the first five songs. There was a lot of checking out different base guitars and then picking the right one for each song. Then time to slam them in! It was a long day for Jeroen but you don't have to feel sorry for us musicians...we never start early ;-)

Meanwhile Sharon and I have been busy with ideas for the first video, cause, due to reasons we have to be mysterious about, we already have to shoot it next month aaaaaaargh that's really quick and of course we never panic...I guess...

Altough it can also destroy things sometimes, pressure can be a creative force as well. Luckily we are also very lucky to have some very creative friends around us who can brainstorm with us and unbelievable but true, we have a great idea for the new video which fits the song so much.

Oh yeah and I promised to reveal something about the new album...well this first song is def no ballad, it's fast it's hard it's epic...and that's not even the best about it... I'm sorry we have to do it again and have to leave you in the dark a bit more on what that is but time's running fast so don't panic... 

So the heat is on cause with the videoshoot Sharon also has to start on thinking about the new styling..clothing and such, that's her fun department. Oeh so nice to have a girl in the band for that.

The boys and Sharon now first have a show in Poland on Saturday...lucky bastards and then Monday back to the studio.

Have a great weekend and till next week!

It has been a busy but rewarding week. Sharon has been recording the final lead vocals for the first single. Ruud and Stefan have been recording guitars in their studios. Great feeling that things start to speed up and the end result is getting closer.

(http://www.within-temptation.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Sharon-in-studio.jpg)     

We also went to Wisseloord Studios (great studio there) to let our record company hear a few demo songs. Luckily they didn’t panic, started crying or run away when they heard them. Actually, they were very happy with the songs and so were we cause there is nothing better than everybody working on this record getting energy from it.

We also had a nice dinner with them and as we met for the first time we had the chance to get to know eachother a bit. It was a great evening. We had amazing italian food, talked a lot about music, other countries and cultures, cars… technical and musical developments. All in all a great evening with great people with a big musical heart which we really look forward to work with.

Next day we had to get back to work with the directors to finalise the idea for the video. Next stop will be getting some ideas for the cover of the album, maybe a title would be handy too. Let’s see where we get with that next week! For now, have a smashing weekend, make sure you survive it and till next week!

Update by Robert: Ruud and Stefan been recording a lot of guitars this week; Acoustics, picking, heavy strumming, slow chunky rifs, fast finger breaking solos... I heard it all pass by this week. It's pretty amazing if you think about how many different sounds and emotions you can get out of a guitar. I guess that's problably also why it has become such a popular instrument the past decades.

In the mean time, Martijn finished string arrangements for two songs, which are now ready for the recording of real strings.

Sharon, Daniel and I have been working on one song pretty much all week to get the feel there. The basic demo idea was (don't be shocked now.... count to ten...) in a swingy dance beat with rap in all verses. Now, we really love to experiment, but this was a bit too much out of our comfort zone, so we turned the song into a big symphonic, and heavy guitar cranking song.

So nothing to panic about, despite the fact this song holds pretty cool and big surprises you have most defenitely never heard on a WT record before...

It was an exciting week, exciting enough to celebrate it with a smacking  weekend!

Enjoy yourselves and 'till da next!!!!

Robert: "Talking about a studio report... I'm actually writing this report in the studio in the middle of working with Daniel on a new song I'm soooo excited about! It's fast, dark, catchy and lost of rifs and double kick. It also begs to have grunts on it... Mmm who are we gonna call for that cause no, I ain't gonna do that... It deserves much better.

Allright back to the song now yeahaaa!!!"

This week was a short studio week, as we had to leave on Wednesday evening for Greenfield festival and Novarock in Austria. We did spend a lot of time in the studio at the start of the week, though.

Sharon finished vocals for a track, while she was also working on the styling for the first music video we are shooting this weekend! Robert was writing on a new track which hopefully nailed the last song we need to complete the album.

Also, as we've been working on the album for quite some time, the album title suddenly revealed itself to us! We're sorry, we're not revealing it yet... but the new album has a face now (more than one)... it has come to life... be aware!

We’re having a busy week, this week! As we were playing at Greenfield and Novarock on Thursday and Friday, and we’re playing at Indian Summer Festival today, we were working very hard in the studio at the beginning of the week.

Ruud was recording a solo for the new album and made a short video for you.

Obviously, the video needed a little Start Wars touch…

Last weekend, we were shooting the first parts of a video for the new album. After our shows in Switzerland, Austria and Holland we got up really early in the morning to shoot parts of the first video of the album. We are really looking forward to the end result of this video so much, because it feels like this could be a milestone in our existence.

The story has a lot of different layers, the styling of Sharon and the band is bold, it fits us and the story so well, the locations we were shooting were surreal and the special effects will be absolutely smashing. And then there's the biggest surprise of all... we'll start dropping some hints very soon.

Album progress
Another studio update from Robert: After a long, but exciting festival weekend we're back at the studio. Most important for us now, is to finish the first song for mixing, which will already be done in a few weeks. Adrenaline is rushing, we really want to make sure we have the right sound for this song, and make sure nothing is missing to get the feel we want for the song. It needs to be pumping, heavy, big and melancholic at the same time. We're listening to it over and over again, adjusting details, trying different lines... We still have some time left, but 'The Lock' is approachting, which means we can't change or adjust it anymore, 'this is it'.

In the meantime we're also writing new songs and rearranging old ideas. Next week, we're getting back to writing lyrics and we need to start working on artwork. During the video shoot last weekend, we took some new band photos, which you will get to see soon... for now, you all have a great weekend!!!

Robert's update: Guts, air and adrenaline

Last week I told you we were still fine-tuning the first song to prepare it for the official mix. Well, the fine-tuning turned into a little more than fine-tuning... We completely changed the first instrumental part of the song. The beginning was not heavy and dark enough for the rest of the song, for our taste. Well, that's solved now. We made a complete new pumping riff and Martijn made an amazing theme on the riff and intro for the beginning of the song.

Sometimes these things go so magical, that it feel it's not you creating it, but it feels like the music is coming from the air around you, and you are just allowed the lucky one to catch it (I believe Keith Richards once said something similar).

It's kind a of a big thing though, to change so much in a song o so very close to mix, because it means re-recording guitars strings etc. But trough the years we learned never to ignore your gut feeling. If you think you can make it better, even just before or even in mix, do it. Do it on the spot or you will regret it every time you listen to song and that will hurt for a long time. And oh boy how good it feels now, to have done this. The song not only got much darker and heavier, it also fits the rest of the album better now. We just can't wait for the mix now. Just two weeks to go. So exciting. Oh and soon, very soon, probably even before mix  you're gonna hear a snippet of this.

Now back to the other songs. We still need to finish two new song ideas and I'm skyping with an artist in LA this eve for another. I'm so excited about that, I'm like a small jumping child. Damn, it's pure adrenaline making this record, not a lot of things are better for us than this. Well, weekend break is also always nice 2. You all have a good one!

Album update
Antoher update from Robert: After a great festival weekend like the last one it's so much nicer to dive into the studio again, because of the energy you still carry with you from the shows and it might also be the reason it was a rewarding studio week. We really made some progress. We've been adding some extra parts to the last songs to get them closer and ready for the last drum recordings, which already start in less then a month.

We're also finalizing the recordings for the mix of the first song, which is going to start the 15th. We've got some really great mixers ready to go. It's going to be really interesting to hear what the differences in the mixes will be. Mixing engineers are artists on their own. No mix of the same song by different mixing engineers will sound the same. We have a few, but all great mixers who are going to put their stamp on the song. Then it's for us to decide whose style and approach we think fits the song best. The mixing engineer whose song we pick will aslo get to do the rest of the album, so that's also something we have to keep in mind.

Now, some more revealing information about the new album… We've told you before that we are working with some other artists on this album. Two of them are actually recording this and next week. It's extremely exciting for us, what we will eventually receive in our mail, because we won't be there with them in the studio as they are recording overseas and unfortunately we don't have the time to go over there (yet). It's also really exciting because we already know it's going to be really good, as they are incredibly talented and fit so well to the songs they are working on. When working with other artists, it's always the song which determines what's needed and who we need for the song. For one song for instance, we're not sure if it will make it to the album. If we can't get the artist to do his part, we will just not release it, because it will miss a part of its soul and will remain uncompleted. But for now, we - and also the songs - are really blessed...

Then…luckily and finally…you'll be able to hear a liiiiiiiittle liiiiiiiittle bit of the album next week. Oh yeah!!!

Now don't waste your weekend waiting for it but enjoy it as much as you can cause that's how it should be done (and also how time flies and the sooner it will be next week haha)

So have a great one and …..till next week!

Album update
Robert's update: This week we didn't spend a lot of time in the studio, or at least not as much as we would have liked to. There were a lot of meetings, mails to write, sorting, thinking, deciding and planning. Though not are favorite things to do during recording, it does give the peace of mind you need to be creative, when it's done.

Despite the little time we could spend in the studio, it was a very exciting week for the album. We got the contributions of two other artists and we feel very honored to have them work with us as we admire both their talent and personalities. After listening to what they recorded a few times we realized that their unique character and talent come out so well on these songs, that we can't even imagine the songs without them anymore.

One of these songs will finally be mixed next week, as the first single. Kind of strange to know that the first song will be final when there is still so much to do. But it will also give us a lot of peace to know we are on the right track with what we doing, for the rest of the album and what changes may still have to be made to improve things.

Now it's time for the weekend, a show at Bospop festival on Sunday and of course reading your comments, first impressions, speculations etc on the teaser released today. I can tell you one thing…you are so often so right.

You all have a great one and 'till next week, when we will tell you about the mix results.

A new message from Robert: Oh yeah, the mixes are flying around us. We got the first mixes in yesterday. Since then I think we've already listened a zillion times to the song. Listening carefully, checking if some guitars are loud enough in this part and if vocals are loud enough there, if the energy is there, the transparency punch stereo width and so on... Pretty amazing that we still like it, but I guess that's what a good mix also should make you able to do. It is a great feeling that by now, we already have one really good mix down. Other mixes from other mixing engineers still have to come in, so it can only get better or it will turn out this first one will be our favourite. Next week we'll tell you which mixer has made our favourite mix.

Oh yes, I almost forgot. We've also seen the first 1 min edit of the music video. It's big epic, rough, beautiful and mysterious at the same time. I don't think we've have had ever a video before where so many days of shooting and working has gone into, and it shows. It's a big epic video and story with some very cool 3D FX, but shot mostly on real locations and probably the coolest thing is that real huge machines and sets have been built by artist, that make everything feel so real and then I'm not even talking about the chemistry between the singers...

But still a lot to do. I know you all want the music and video today but don't worry, time flies. We wouldn't mind if we could make it go much slooooooower ;-)

What ever happens, the weekend will start this evening. Make sure you enjoy it to the max !!!

Robert's studio update: Choices have to be made

Last week several mixing engineers got to make a mix from our up-coming new song (and video). What I didn't tell you that one of those mixes was also going to be done by ourselves.

That made it a very busy week, because the mixing had to be done next to judging the other mixes and giving them remarks.

It was also a tough week cause we had to accept that we couldn't get the ideal mix. Every mix of every mixing engineer had something unique and things we really liked, but there was also always some part of the mix we liked better from another mix. For example, the bass guitar was great in one mix, but the vocals sound better in another mix.

But of course you guys and girls don't want to wait forever for the new song, so we had to make a choice yesterday to get it ready in time for release.

After many years of making music we've learned to be honest to yourself if you want the best result and though we would have liked to use our mix so very much, it simply was not the best out of the options. We were getting pretty far though, so if we improve our mixing skills a bit more it will not be unlikely that we will mix our own song or record in the future at some point.

Anyway in the end we had two mixes wich were clearly our favorites. We let different people hear the mixes and the more people, the more opinions, but ofcourse in the end it's up to us.

Our ideal mix would clearly have been a combination of these two. We liked the transparency, and vox sound of one mix best and we liked the bass guitar and angriness in other mix better.
So we decided to go for the mix that fitted best with the character of the song and that was clearly the most aggressive mix done by Stefan Glaumann. Choices are always hard to make but when you do make them, they relieve you and now we can be happy and pleased with result. The song is born and will have it's own life now.
Soon you will hear the end result. When …? We'll tell you very soon along with some more info about the new video and who will be next to Sharon behind the mic…

Now this story has to go to press in fact I'm already 8 minutes too late…so

Have a greaaaaaaaaaat smacking weekend.
Till next week !

Album update
Update from Robert: This time probably the shortest update so far. Not because nothing happened this week, but because there is simply too much to do. On Monday, the 2nd round of drum recordings are starting and therefore the rest of the tracks for the album need to be finished in demo form, as this drum recording will be the final one.

However, we still need to finish 2 tracks, so every hour is precious now. Don't think we'll make it for monday, but we can even continue two days during the recordings because we have 5 days studio booked.

Now I'm back to getting some energy transformed into sound here. Hope you boys and girls will have a stressless and very enjoyable weekend.

Till next week  which will be the last update before we go on a short holiday.

Saludos !

Album update
This week has definitely been the most productive week so far. The goal was to record drums for all the remaining songs of the new album. However three songs were just not finished yet. So while Mike was playing drums and Arno recording him, the rest of the band was working on finishing the last songs, and Daniel our producer assisting from Sweden while being on a long planned holiday.

It almost felt like a miracle when we realized we made it. Cause writing songs under so much time pressure and recordings going on at the same very often fails miserable. This time it has really been the opposite. Though I do think it we paid for it with a few years of life energy, but hey everything for a great album. I think this week we wrote and finished three the coolest songs of the album and with that completed the whole album to a level we only could hope for on forehand.

Now songs finished, drums finished…now the rest and for the next two weeks its going to be drum-editing and lyric writing, but we'll def do it with huge smiles on our faces.

We are going to enjoy the weekend sooooo much though a big part of it will probably be catching up with sleeping.

You all have a great one 2 !!!!!!!!!

Till next week …

“Paradise (What About Us?)”  will be released as an EP, containing four new songs.

In addition to Paradise (What About Us?), the EP will contain demo versions of three brand new songs:
“Let Us Burn”, “Silver Moonlight” and “Dog Days”.

By releasing these demos we want to invite you in our home studio and show how we capture song ideas at an early stage of creating a new album. These demo versions are far from their final sound on the album, but will give you a hint of what we’re working on.  It will be fascinating to hear how the end result will sound like, once the album is released.

We hope to make the waiting time for the new album a little shorter and sweeter with this release. It’s so exciting to share the different stages of our music with you. Stay tuned for more important news on the EP.

The EP Paradise (What About Us?), will be released on Friday September 27th world wide and on October 1st in North America

haron's studio update: Hello,
This weekend I came back from Norway on Sunday. As soon as the silence had returned in our home in the evening, Robert and I were alone again with our digital writing paper and we had to finish the lyrics for a song called 'RUN', which is just a demo title for now. I was scheduled to sing on tuesday. Most times we work best under pressure but the words wouldn't come.

When we write a new song, the 'yoghurt' lyrics, as we like to call them, for the demo already head towards a specific subject and that does make it easier, except that night.  A lot of times we fall in love with certain words or the sound of certain words because it just fits the emotion somehow, although they don't make real sense or it isn't as poetic as you would like it to be and that is where the search for the right words with the right sound start.

We continued on monday and didn't finish it until late in the evening. Than I had the "brilliant" idea to let Buffi Dubberman double check the lyrics before I had to start in the studio the next day. Our lovely lyric slayer made time for it even though she was asked on the spot and was very busy with her new book '30 ways to save your ass in English', great title don't you think and how suitable in this situation... hahaha...

Buffi and WT go way back. We started to work with each other for the first time during 'The Silent Force' album. Luckily for us, she knows how chaotic creative minds can be.

Recordings went pretty smooth the next day and we worked from 11.00 until 23.00. We recorded it all including backing vocals and add lips. Robert had already started to finish lyrics for another song in the meantime and on Wednesday I was back in the studio to record a song called 'Roses'. It did help that we already had a big part done concerning vocal lines & lyrics when we did the pre-studio demos but it can still be a big puzzle to finish it.

Everyone was pretty beat by the day before and we stopped at 18.00 hrs. Still had to pack my bags before I went to Bilbao Spain the next day. That is were I'm now. We have a few hours left and than we hit the stage at En Vivo festival.

Next week we'll be back with a new report, so stay tuned!

Sharon, Ruud, Stefan, Martijn, Jeroen, Mike and Robert

This weekend, we’re coming to Rock’n Coke in Istanbul for the very last show of the festival season.

We already visited Poland, Switserland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Russia, Finland, Romania, Sweden, Norway, Spain and the Netherlands and Turkey is the last stop for our festival season.

Ruud won’t be able to join us on stage for this show, as he will be playing with his acoustic Iron Maiden cover project Maiden uniteD in Germany this weekend. Fortunately, Robert can fill in and will be rocking the stage with us this Sunday.

You can find more information on Rock’n Coke here.

We’re excited to visit Istanbul again and to see you there!

Studio update
Sharon's studio update: After the show in Bilbao, Spain, we had to work full force on the upcoming album, again. We were all a bit on the edge. There was so much on our plate and there's no space or time for anything to go wrong. On the schedule of this week; video editing, recording vocals on 'Silver moonlight' & extras on 'Roses', finishing the CD-cover and decide on artwork, writing lyrics for 'Dangerous', writing a studio report, etcetera.

Monday I was editing the new video with Maarten Welzen. Going through all the shots of the band and our 'mystery guest'. There were a million shots to choose from and we were both glad we could do this together. It was like a big puzzle with a lot of options for the same missing part. Putting the frames in the right timing with the music & colour grading. Although we decided on all the scenes that day, until Friday this is going to be on going process. The storyline of the video was all ready done by Tim SmiT & Maarten so that was one worry less.  Without any doubt this is our best video so far on every level.  I'm so proud!!!

On Tuesday we were finalising the lyrics for 'Silver Moonlight' and decided to throw away the album cover which was all most done. It was good, but it wasn't special enough. Our new album cover should visualise what people can expect sound wise. In this case? More modern although the image itself is something that would always fit with our identity. It's a combination of old and new elements. You'll understand what I mean when you get to see it.  It has to be done on Friday.

Wednesday, we recorded the vocals for 'Silver Moonlight' which is a heavy m.f., although you wouldn't think so with this title. I can tell you there's nothing sweet about this song…lol. On the demo you can even hear Robert growling again. It will appear on the EP.
In the evening we had a meeting about packaging of the new album, special editions, stuff like that.

Thursday, we were back in the studio for extra vocals. Besides the normal vocals, I had to do some pretty weird stuff, which we're going to play around with sound wise.  Daniel Gibson said at a certain point: "Can you sing this 'ohoh'".  I glanced at him trying to figure out if he was serious and he smiled "I know, you'll sound like a seal, but I have such a great idea what we can do with that".  Why I said "ok", I still don't know,  but I said "if you ever use this against me… I'll know where to find you" and I smiled back. It wasn't the last idiotic sound I had to make for the recordings that day, but I'm glad you'll NEVER hear it.

Friday,  it's D-day, I'm glad this week is all most done and we have a great excuse not to work on the album this weekend. We're going to Turkey to play at Rock 'n Coke in Istanbul which will be the last festival for us this year.
Still have to go into the lyrics of 'Dangerous', so I have to get back to the heart of our universe at this point in time 'our album'.

Have a great weekend!
Ciao, Sharon

On September 27, Within Temptation will release the ‘Paradise (What About Us?)’ EP and promotional video, featuring a unique collaboration with classically trained Finnish rock diva, Tarja Turunen guesting on the title track.

Sharon comments, “When we had written the first version of ‘Paradise’ and listened back to the demo we’d recorded and the epic power of the song, we thought of Tarja instantly.  How well this track would fit her classical voice and how extra special it would be if we sang it together.  The more we thought about this wild idea, the more excited we got about it!”

Following several video trailers teasing the track, fans have been speculating on the band’s Facebook page who the duet would be with, some guessing it couldn’t possibly be a “competing” artist like Tarja. However, the two singers had no hesitation joining forces, having never thought of themselves as competitors!  Sharon continues, “Of course I didn’t know what to expect from Tarja, as we’d never actually met in person ‘til June this year.  Our first encounter was via a Skype call we’d set-up to discuss the collaboration and we immediately clicked, not only creatively but personally.  After we’d spoken, it felt completely natural that we would do this together!”

Tarja adds, “It was very nice to finally meet Sharon and the Within Temptation guys.  I truly appreciate the invitation and the opportunity to work with them on their song ‘Paradise’.  So wonderful that they thought of me!  I hope our fans will like this ‘girl power’ duet!”

The song and accompanying music video share a central theme; that only constructive cooperation can lead to creation.  To establish a new paradise, rising from the ashes of the old, we must work together.

For the first time, Within Temptation have also decided to give fans a very intimate insight into how they capture their song ideas early on. The EP will contain 3 additional tracks – demo versions of brand new songs intended for the forthcoming album. The demos include ‘Let Us Burn’, ‘Silver Moonlight’, and ‘Dog Days’. Despite the demo versions missing intended symphonic, orchestral sounds and a finished mix, the powerful energy surging through the tracks can be heard right from the start.

The duet between Sharon and Tarja is just one facet of the new material. Robert reveals, “For the first time, Within Temptation will release an album with several artistic collaborations, some of which will be seen as groundbreaking for our band and musical style.”

Consequently, the recording and production of the sixth studio album is still underway. With a release date set for end of January 2014, it is therefore necessary to reschedule the previously announced first leg of the band’s worldwide tour to allow time to rehearse the live show and prepare for the album’s release.

The band’s world tour will now begin on February 26, 2014 in Helsinki, with some newly added Eastern European dates, announced today, which will go on sale on Friday September 20, 2013. The rescheduled shows will kick off on April 6 in Munich and run through to May 2 in Amsterdam. The band intends to add further overseas dates during the remainder of 2014.

Robert says: “We understand that the rescheduled tour dates are a blow for the many fans who have bought tickets early and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.  We hope they feel a little compensated by the release of our new, special priced 4-song EP, which gives them full insight into the kind of album we are working on.  To make up for the rescheduled dates, we’re now pressured to work even harder to deliver our best and most impressive live production ever on the upcoming tour, however the completion of a great new album is a prerequisite for that!  And therefore the only option was to reschedule the dates for Western Europe.”

Tickets that have been purchased already will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.

Pre-order of the digital EP starts today, September 13. Pre-order it here.

Within Temptation - Paradise (What About Us?) featuring Tarja

Tracklisting:
1. Paradise (What About Us?) feat. Tarja

Studio update
Another update from Robert: The spill your guts week and save it with milk

Heya, back again with a studio update!

For Sharon and me, this week has been mainly about writing lyrics and singing.

It's def not been a week a of sweet, sensitive, innocent songs, no it was more the spill-your-guts-destroy-everything-in-your-way, mad-at-the-world-and-end-up-with-a-soar-throat type of week.  Sharon told me yesterday after she was done recording one of the songs…"I don't think I've been singing so loud on a track before, it was almost like I was screaming, but my god it felt so good... Can we do this more?"

This morning it was my turn. I had to buy a few liters of milk before going to studio 'cause I had to do some grunting on a song called "Silver Moonlight" (of which you can find the demo on the paradise EP next week). Milk or yoghurt is pretty much the standard recipe to take before doing some solid grunts. It does a bit the opposite of what an apple does for singers, it creates lots of slime in your throat which enables you to let the grunts grooooowl much easier. Also if you sometimes, like me, use the wrong grunting technique and you hurt your voice the cold milk eases the stinging feeling. Anyway it went so well I was surprised I could still do it after so many years. I actually had a lot fun, mmmm also taste for more but no more milk for me this weekend. I had enough for the whole week.

Now next week, only one song left to write lyrics on and to record vocals for. After that we can start finalising the arrangements of the songs before final mixing begins. But before that…next Friday we will have a drink on the release of Paradise! May she have an exciting journey through the world.

Till then and for now...nothing wrong in CELEBRATING THE WEEKEND !!!

Grtz,
Robert

Robert feels the cooperation with Tarja fits the theme of the single and video: “Man can only overcome unjustice and create a better world when they think of us, the world community, instead of the individual”.

The “Paradise (What About Us?)” EP includes the following tracks:
1. Paradise (What About Us?)
2. Let Us Burn (demo version)
3. Silver Moonlight (demo version)
4. Dog Days (demo version)

Update from Robert: About letting your song go and a very courageous Tarja

The moment I'm writing this newsletter the Paradise Video is just out and I can tell you a lot of emotions are going trough us right now at hyper speed. It's always such a special moment when you let your song go, to be free out there in the world on it's one. We have had it so close to us and working on it so much for almost the whole past year. But now it's not longer our growing baby, it's full grown and will stay how it is right now forever.

And now it's yours too. For you to like it (or not) and for you to connect to your life, your memories, emotions and fantasy.
Bit philosophical maybe but that's how it feels to us.

Also, every time we push the refresh button and see the view and like count go up like we've never seen before, we feel very grateful to Tarja. She has showed so much courage by doing the song and video recordings with a, for her at first totally unknown group of people. Regardlessly, she put so much effort and passion in this video. Only because of this openness and courage you can feel can feel pure magic excist between Tarja en Sharon. She has maybe even created the most special release in our musical career for us until now.

Back on earth... Sharon is in the studio right now, recording vocals to probably the last song for this album. But I'm just going to push the refresh button a few more times today and already start to enjoy my weekend in Paradise.

So ciao for now and ofcourse…
I wish you all a weekend in Paradise 2 !!!

Studio update
A new studio update from Robert: Mixing has started again this week. After Paradise, 'Let Us Burn' is the second song where Stefan Glaumann will put his magic sound on.

For us, after the exciting release and a release party with the crew who made the video of Paradise, we got back into the studio again. Mainly to go through the songs and see which ones needed the most attention, to prepare them for mix. For one song we thought it would be cool to let a young girl read a part of the poem that inspired the song. This Sunday we'll try to record her with a smart phone instead of a fancy microphone. Hopefully that will give a cool crappy sound to it. The poem is called 'Ode on Melancholy' by John Keats, by the way. Check it out, it's really beautiful.

For the rest, we're also doing a lot of planning now, for the promotion of the album and for the making of the next music video, which we might shooting in the US... then again, maybe not, we'll see.

Anyways for now, have fun with the making of video. We really enjoyed watching it. Next week we'll probably also release another video which is also a 'the making of the Paradise video' but then from a completely different angle.

But before next week…

Ya'll take care and let's do a maximum enjoyment of the weekend !

Studio update
A brand new studio update from Robert:

It's been a good week in the studio. The mix of 'Let Us Burn' is final now and Stefan Glaumann is working on the mix of "Silver Moonlight' as we speak. Both are tracks of which you can find the demos on the EP. The songs are still the same in the core, but they just sound a lot better. Levels are more in control so you can hear the details better and there's simply more energy in songs overall. Can't wait for the mastering of Ted Jensen, because he always adds the final bonus power and energy to the sound.

Guitars and keyboards/orchestra are coming in for the last songs and I've also been doing a few growling lines on two other songs here and there.
Sharon has done a few 'epic' sounding choir lines but is mostly working really hard on the special edition of the album. Selecting photos and discussing the artwork. Shall we reveal a little bit about the style ? Ok, it's a bit in Art Deco style and pretty rough, to match the heavier character of the album and of course it fits the album title really well.

Next week 2 more mixes and planning some new video shoots with prob at least one in the US, but first…

Weekend !

Y'all have great one!

Another word from Robert: Stress, who ? me? us?  nah no way... why? aaaaaargh

Ok I do admit. It was a kind of a stressful week and that's perhaps an understatement.
It had to do with that a lot of things that needed to be finalized for the album, and finalized means final... no way back... for ever and ever... and ever... final. Like the names of the songs, the order of songs, a selection of 100 pages of photos for the special edition, the artwork. Also the credit list which is also always kind of a thing. You know millions of people are possibly going to read them and if you then spell somebody's name wrong, get his function/contribution to the album wrong, or even worse forget to thank him when you did thank the other less important person... well you get the picture, not happy people. And of course we want happy people, or at least most of them.



Strange thing is also when you decide the order of the album that you realize there's only one good possible order to put the tracks in.
But also realizing when listening to it, know that's it's really a hell of an exciting album to listen to from beginning to end. Really can't wait know to let you all see and hear it.

Now a good thing of finalizing is that you don't have to think about the stuff you finalized anymore which means...
we can have a real good celebration of the weekend!

Hope you do the same and make it at least until the next newsletter cause then there will be some biiig and 'final' announcements going to be made. Hold on tight!

Cheeeers !!

Studio update from Sharon:

Writing a studio-update in the studio, how appropriate…lol.
Still in the phase of receiving mixes from Mr Viking: Stefan Glaumann and we have been preparing ourselves for the press days today and tomorrow, which are held at the famous Wisseloord studios. In the background Robert was making mixes for 'Edge of the World' & 'Dog days' as we had no finished mixes of these songs yet to present to the journalists.

Looking back at this week, we left for Brugge, Belgium, on Friday to mix music with a few days off. We needed to catch our breath. We've been working long days for a long time and needed a bit of a break. So we went to Brugge for three days & I can recommend it. What a city, so much to see and to do. On Saturday evening we went to the 'Metal Female Voices Festival' to join Delain on stage for two songs; 'No compliance' & the golden oldie 'Restless' which Martijn wrote the music for together with Robert so that was a bit nostalgic for The Westerholt's & me; walking down memory lane back stage with our previous tour manager 'Rik' & Delain and telling each other 'on the road stories' with a nice glass of red wine/ beer and discussing Dutch politics with Charlotte's boyfriend… Superb!

The day after, we went back to 'MFVF' after a day of culture in Brugge, to meet up with Tarja & her husband. After the show we went to their night-liner where we also met Floor Janssen and we finally drank the glass off wine didn't have time before at the video and photo shoot. We ended up telling each other on-the-road stories again and almost pissed my pants, so hilarious and so recognizable!!! It became one of those weekends, you'll never forget!

Now I've got to hit the sack because the day will start early tomorrow, cheerio folks!
Lots of love, Sharon

Another studio update from Robert: Eating socks and more.

Bumpy last ride to the finish of this album but at least the finish is getting really close. Another 3 mixes finalized this week and almost finished arranging the first radio single which will be the last one to be mixed next week or just after.

It's really surprising sometimes how a song can get a different feel when you add some other lines and instruments. A sad theme played by a kind of  'Twin Peakes' piano was added to the chorus and did a lot for the song. It gave it a very sad feeling. Also a swelling string section 30's style for the verse and a 'Game of Throne'-like cello in the intro made the whole song fall into place. It's a real special song for us not by the least because of who is singing the song with Sharon. This time no female singer from the scene but one of our big heroes of the nineties.

Anyway next week the announcement HAS to be made. No more socks to be eaten so no way to escape it or else I will go into hiding in a safe house (preferably somewhere warm with a private beach)

For now enjoy me suffering and of course the weekend is there to celebrate the end of the week and stay strong till next one !!!

Aloha

Within Temptation collaborated with several special guests on ‘Hydra’: Tarja Turunen, Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum and metalcore hero Howard Jones, formerly of Killswitch Engage as well as US hip-hop icon Xzibit.

Robert: “Xzibit is amazing. ‘And We Run’ song is about how you’ve got to live your life now. He’s rapping at full force on this song, it’s really heavy.” Sharon adds: “Xzibit brings a new element to our music that we’ve never had before! It’s a new cross-over and we love it!” As for the mighty Tarja, Sharon recalls: “The way she delivers those high melody lines left us all speechless. We had a great time, and the fans responded beyond our expectations.”

One of the album’s heaviest tracks, ‘Dangerous’ was recorded with the former Killswitch Engage singer Howard Jones, whose epic vocals are a perfect fit for Sharon’s. “I always loved Howard’s voice,” she says. “He makes the song even heavier than it already is. That song is one of my favorite songs on the record and one of the fastest we’ve ever written. It has the most bass drums we’ve ever used, too, and a very fast riff which we doubled with synths. It’s not a typical synthesizer, though – it’s distorted like a guitar, and it’s very aggressive.”

‘Hydra’ goes from strength to strength with ‘Whole World Is Watching’, featuring Soul Asylum’s singer Dave Pirner. “When we wrote ‘Whole World Is Watching’, Dave was at the very top of our list. He has such a captivating voice: it made the song exactly how it needed to be.“

Studio update
Another word from Robert: When we started writing for Hydra 2 years ago we had nothing, no idea where and how it would end and moreover, not when it would end. And now we are sitting here with a finished master, of a complete new album with over 50 minutes of new blasting songs, which can't wait to be unleashed into the world. We never get bored by that feeling and it surely is of the best feeling we know. All the blood sweet and tears are forgotten, as if they have not even been there. Well, the reality was quite the opposite. We have set our goals higher then ever before.

We wanted to write an album to blow, first of all ourselves away. We wanted to do better than we think we even could (sounds weird huh). We wanted it to be a real Within Temptation record, but heavier, more musically challenging, pushing borders and frontiers with new elements and influences, and at the same time bring back more from our early metal roots... a bit like the past and future at the same time.

A year ago, it felt like we had an impossible task to do, like building a mountain with our bare hands. Now it's like we are on the top that mountain, enjoying the view we mysteriously were able to build, but really don't know how we did it anymore.
But that's how it should be, how an album should be born. In a mysterious uncontrollable way with a will of its own.

Now just be carefull when it will be unleashed January the 31st…Hydra is not without danger.

Haha well that almost sounds serious huh? Back to real life… we are not done, not by far. Next week we are recording TWO new videos. Very much looking forward to meet Dave and Howard and hope we will have some free time to spend together, next to shooting the videos.

Now the master of Hydra is done we all (and that's including you too) once again found a very valid excuse for a celebration this weekend.

So have a nice one and keep track of Twitter, Facebook and such for updates on the videoshoot and if you would happen to miss those, than there always is of course the next newsletter.

So anyway till next week and stay strong!

Cheers and take care !!!

Album update
Another album update from Robert: This week was video week. We were shooting 2 videos. Normally this means a lot of stress, very little sleep and risking pneumonia because you're waiting all day and night, mostly in the cold outside filming at outside locations. Ofcourse it's all worth it, if you get a good video, but the thing with videos is that you're never guaranteed of a good result.

On the other hand that's maybe also what we like about them. We love challenges, both physically and creatively, and taking calculated risks once in a while makes you feel alive. Talking about risks that make you feel alive… well that's actually everything what the video for 'Dangerous' is all about. It's really going to be breathtaking and heart pulse raising. At least that's really what it did with us looking at the first material.

This time the whole shoot was a bit out of the ordinairy. Outside you could already feel winter is on it's way, but we were sweating like hell and banging like crazy inside a huge, but a very comfortably warm filming studio.

The shooting days were not that long so we also had plenty of time to show Dave Pirner, who flew over to record the video for 'Whole World is Watching' with us, a little bit of Amsterdam. We had a lot of fun together and despite there is so much to do and to see in Amsterdam, we still ended up talking about music most of our time. Guess we never get enough of that.

What also made this shoot really special, is that since 10 years we were working with director Patric Ullaeus again. Patric was the one who made our video for 'Mother Earth'. That video actually was our first serious music video. Also even after so many years we still like that video a lot. I guess he also has laid the basis for a lot of videos after that one because we learned so much from him about making videos at that time.

But of course also this shoot didn't go complete as we planned. The initial plan was to shoot the video for 'Dangerous' here in Holland, together with Howard Jones but some unforseen events changed those plans, so we will probably be filming Howard somewhere in the next weeks.

This time it's not going to be long before you get to see how this video turned out as it prob needs to be finished and released on Youtube within a month.

Anyway there is so much more to tell about these videos but we will do that next week because now…
It's time to celebrate the weeeeeeekend.

Have fun and hang on till at least the next update !

Take care !!!

HYDRA song by song:

Let Us Burn: It crashes and bangs at all corners. The opener Within Temptation shows her magnificent page. However, Sharon stops the wild dance before she screams the escalating chorus through the speakers. If one wants to actually hear again immediately. The line "Let us burn" is the mantra.

Dangerous, And We Run: Now it gets really wild. Worried Howard Jones already for astonishment, drop the listeners now definitively ears off. The American rap icon Xzibit steps up to the mic and bangs with Rhymes around. The strange thing: It fits perfectly into the thick sound of the song. Metal to the booty shaking!

Paradise (What About Us): already known from the EP - and, yes, the song also works in the context of the album wonderfully. Two magnificent voices throw themselves repeatedly to the balls. Powerful, emotional and epic. The currently provide this quality only Within Temptation.

Edge Of The World : finally allowed to be cuddled, but this epic ballad can not fire the first time. To unspectacular and smooth effect the result. The chorus seems a little hectic. For the grand finale, the guitar may be involved.

Silver Moonlight: A typical Within Temptation song, one might say at first. First, Sharon languishes on their archetypal Art Then the thunder is heard before suddenly appear growls. Since ENTER you have not heard such a thing. For fans of the old school one hit!

Dog Days: The most beautiful verses of the album mate with a classic chorus that goes into the ear immediately and do not want to get out so quickly. For some fans may be too classic, for sure other THE perfect song.

Tell Me Why: crash. Bumm. Immediately. Sharon sings like a siren against the musical apocalypse and tames it with a soft vocal melody. The chorus works through the big sounds a bit overweight. More for the U.S. market.

Conclusion: Within Temptation fans can breathe easy, because HYDRA is the perfect successor of THE UNFORGIVING. More bombast, more outliers - but also more metal. Though lacking an over-hit, but this album sounds like, despite all the variety of a piece. Audrey Dujardin

Album update
A new update from Robert: New music on vintage albums. Hooked on Vinyl now !

Sharon has been doing interviews all week long and is in Paris at the moment. All this traveling and long days of talking is pretty tiring, but she is really enjoying herself because of the great reactions she is getting on Hydra. We are ofcourse far from objective but it is still good to hear that the press feels the same magic in this album as we do. Most describe it has a our heaviest, musically most refreshing and bravest album with at the same time influences of our early past.

Talking about the past... I'm really excited about these special versions we are making of this album. Next to a CD with a 100 pages (which is more like a book), we have a special vinyl version of the album for the deluxe box set.

Today I received the test pressing for the Hydra vinyl. It's been really, really, really long since I played a vinyl record. But man, I get excited instantly, holding this vinyl in my hands. Much more than a download, it feels like something special... Almost something secret. Only when you put it on the player and it starts spinning with the needle on it, it will reveal itself to you. Taking this whole big thing out of it's sleeve and putting it on the player already is something that creates tension. Then the boom and cracks you hear when the needle hits the record for the first time... wow... how cool is this.

The music starts playing... damn it sounds good. I didn't expect that. I was expecting the sound to be a bit thinner than the digital version, but instead it actually sounds warm and fat.
It's also really cool when you accidentally bump the player and it speeds up and slows down for a second. It's really much more of a living thing. You really have to treat the album with respect.

As the album exceeds 50 minutes in length, it is printed on two vinyls. So every 2 or 3 tracks you have to turn it around. Haha this is soooo cool. I'm afraid I'm hooked. I'm going to start ordering more vinyl from now on.

A very good opportunity to use the weekend for.
So much fun :-)

Hope you all also have a great weekend with a lot of vinyl parties !

Till next week !!!!

Within Temptation’s show in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam (NL) on the 2nd of May is sold out! Don’t worry if you didn’t have the chance to get tickets yet, though: the band will do an extra show in the HMH on the 3rd of May!

These two shows in the Heineken Music Hall will be the first shows in the Netherlands after the release of the new album on the 31st January 2014.

Ticket sales for the extra show start this Friday (December 6) at 10.00 (GMT+1). Starting Friday, you can immediately pre-order ‘Hydra’ along with your HMH tickets, to make sure you receive the album on the day of release. Keep an eye on the website for a ticket link.

Sharon: “We are excited that our first show in the HMH sold out so incredibly fast! The heavy sound of Hydra demands a location where this will come across right, hence the choice to do a show at the Heineken Music Hall, which is designed for a great sound. This will be the first time we are performing at the HMH, and it is amazing we can announce an extra show.”

Album update
This week's album update is from Sharon: Hi everyone,

The time has come to promote our new born 'Hydra'.
Last week and a half  I went to Finland,  spent two days in France, two days in Germany and one day in the Netherlands; for a second round of interviews in the Wisseloord studios and another day of international phoners. Next week it's going to be two days in the UK and there are more international phoners coming up, sometimes through Skype as you can see on one of the picture below. Got blisters on my tongue of all the talking…

Robert's been working on a new radio mix for the US, they want more guitars and here in the EU they'll probably want a bit less guitar on the radio…lol. While we've finished the album, it's not finished at all. There' are always still so many things we need to do: radio-edits/phoners/photo sessions, videos, etcetera...
In January, we will have a heavy promotion schedule and we'll be going to a lot of different EU countries to play at radio stations and we'll also go to the US. We're going to do promotion over there and we are planning another tour in the US for 2014.

I was really happy to get so much positive feedback from the interviewers and radio stations as they are the first feedback we get on our new stuff. There was one though, who surprised me the most. A few weeks back we had two days for members of the press to come over and hear the new album. It were metal/rock/ gothic /mainstream magazines and radio people. There was one guy, from a metal magazine, and he was really not liking the song 'AND WE RUN' with Xzibit and he was really clear and honest why he didn't like it. It's not easiest thing for us but ok, it was his opinion and we do understand why, it's all about  people having a different taste and that's ok.

I saw him again last week, in Germany and he said,' I have a confession to make; I'm really getting into the song now and it's really one of my favourites'. I all most fell of my chair when he said it and than he added, 'actually everyone at our magazine is loving it and it's being played in the office a lot'. How cool is that? :-)

Robert is still working on the new stage set up for the upcoming tour and those who would like to get a peek, you'll have to watch "join the beat", it's a cool Dutch TV program about music. They came to our studio and they filmed a lot including the stage set up in a early stage. It will be broadcasted this Monday on NED 3 (channel 3 Dutch television).

Ok that's all for now!
Ciao, Sharon :-)

Album update
A new album update from Robert: It's not going to be long before we will get the first version of the video for 'Dangerous' with Howard Jones. I was expecting it this week already, but I'm sure we will get it this weekend or just after, because the release is going to be soon… very soon. So no teasing for weeks (or at least not too much). Really look forward to this video because it's really going to be something different this time. Both video and music-wise, it's fast and action-packed. The song is about thrill seekers, and well let's say you won't miss out on them in this video.
We did see clips of the making of the video, which was fun to watch. We really enjoyed this video shoot and that shows.

The rest of week we've been working on the development of the live show. As we are playing the largest venues so far it also puts the pressure on us to deliver the best stage design and show so far. We are not there yet, but there are already some really spectacular ideas of things we've never done before.

And last but not least, we've been busy trying to come up with ideas for a video for the song 'And We Run' with Xzibit. I think for the first time in our career we will release 4 videos for an album. Well, next week is going to be about getting as much as possible done before Christmas. It's going to be a busy week but after that a niiiice long break. Long live Santa !!!

Have a smacking weekend !!!
Till next week cause you've got make it to Christmas :-)

Get the first two singles of Hydra before the release! Pre-order Hydra on iTunes now, and you will receive ‘Dangerous’ featuring Howard Jones and ‘Paradise (What About Us?)’ featuring Tarja, immediately!

The video for ‘Dangerous’ will be released on the 20th of December.

Note: ‘Dangerous’ is only available in the US now and will be available on iTunes Europe starting Dec. 20th.

The song was recorded with the former Killswitch Engage singer Howard Jones, whose epic vocals are a perfect fit for the track.
Sharon says: “I always loved Howard’s voice. He makes the song even heavier than it already is. That song is one of the fastest we’ve ever written, and one of our favourite songs on the record. It has the most bass drums we’ve ever used, too, and a very fast riff which we doubled with synths. It’s not a typical synthesiser, though – it’s distorted like a guitar, and it’s very aggressive.”

Within Temptation & Gem Kingdom start an adventure in silver.

We proudly present our personalized Within Temptation jewelry pieces made by Gem Kingdom.
Sharon has been an admirer of the Gem Kingdom pieces for a long time and was invited to work together with the Dutch jewel designers. The first pieces are a male and female silver guitar pick holder transformed into a beautiful necklace.

Sharon: "I was really impressed by Bernard and Johanna of Gem Kingdom and and I just love their style. Every piece is a piece of art to my opinion. It really suits my stage outfits and the smaller pieces really go well with the casual way I’m dressed during the day. After many years of wearing their jewelry on stage, during interviews… actually always, the time has come to personalize their jewelry style for Within Temptation."

The pendants are handmade pick holders with a 'WT' logo for men and a bow for ladies, for carrying a guitar pick. The pendant is made of 5,8 gram silver and is attached to a wax chord with a copper closing. The pick necklaces come with a guitar pick.

The necklaces are available on the brand new jewelry website.

Sharon: "These two items are a new creative adventure in silver and I’m looking forward to work with Gem Kingdom in the future."

Within Temptation built their following on a pretty steady diet of symphonic metal. The Dutch band - fronted by the charismatic and operatic Sharon den Adel - felt at home churning out big guitar riffs surrounded by lush string arrangements for the better part of four albums. But they felt like there was more to say musically and on 2011's "The Unforgiving," they broke down the walls to produce a truly breakthrough record. Drawing from the metal bands of the 1980s - Iron Maiden and Metallica were specifically channeled - Within Temptation shed the sometimes pretentious armor of symphonic metallists to create a sound that truly - and simply - rocked. Den Adel threw out the high and pristine vocals that were trademarks of earlier albums like "Enter" and "Mother Earth" and got dirty with a bluesier and more organic way of singing.  Now on "Hydra," the band's new album, they've built on that foundation. As the record title implies - a hydra was an ancient Greek monster of myth that grew two new heads every time one was cut off - "Hydra" is full of new and unexpected sounds and textures. There are songs that reach back to the past and are reminiscent of the twin guitars featured on "Mother Earth" while other tracks feature bits of electronica. There is a bit of growling on the vocals - though it is layered in carefully and not brought out front - and moments where Sharon does sing in that pure, crystalline voice fans will instantly recognize.  Most notably, there are four collaborations with a quartet of very distinct artists. X-Zibit, Howard Jones (former singer with Killswitch Engage), Dave Pimer (Soul Asylum) and Tarja Turunen (ex-singer with Nightwish) each bring their unique vocal talents to the album.  In a transatlantic call to her home in the Netherlands, Sharon den Adel talked about the new album and how the band recorded and conceived the previous five releases. Thankfully the connection was absent of bleeps and burps and virtually every word the singer spoke has been related here. Some grammar has been cleaned up to make things a bit clearer but many of her words and descriptions are captured here faithfully.

 UG: The music on "Hydra" sounds so much more organic. The sound is so much more rawer than on earlier albums. Has it matured in a certain way by letting go?
SdA: Well the case is more is the fact we let go of a certain way of songwriting how we used it in the past. Like in the past we had a certain idea about how we wanted to sound and what we were allowed to be within our genre. Nowadays we feel like with "The Heart of Everything" we felt like we finalized this symphonic kind of sound we were searching for all those years.  "The Heart of Everything" was as far as you wanted to take that symphonic rock style?  We couldn't add anything to that anymore. So we just let all boundaries go musically where we were not allowed to go. We are allowed to go now and we can write whatever we want. In the end we'll see what will fit on the album and what doesn't.  Now you're just writing and seeing where the music takes you?  Before we'd start there would already be boundaries and that would limit you in your freedom to explore different things. It's like being in a box where you can only sound this way or that way. You really have real boundaries. Now it's like anything can come out.  Which explains the album's title - "Hydra" - and all the different kinds of music on the record.  It's become more adventurous in a way. So I do understand in a way what you mean. It's because it has become - I wouldn't say mature - but I would say more variated (Sharon means variegated) and I think a little more special in a way.

 If these boundaries you talk about hadn't been placed on you back in the day, do you think you would have experimented more on those earlier albums?  I'm not sure if we were ready before that and I also don't know if our fans were ready for it. You see that every record we have brought out, we have changed more or less. But I think the last two albums, the changes have been the biggest.  Absolutely.  With every change also, people had some difficulties. I do think our audiences are used to us changing constantly but I think we're asking pretty much from them on the last two records. In the past it was also always based really on fear to change too much along the way.  You weren't afraid to change on "Hydra" and "The Unforgiving?"  Now it's more like based on embracing the changes because we need it. We also understand that's where our challenges lie. So it's not based on fear - it's based on knowing your strength is there also. People like you because every time it's a bit different from the last time you brought out a record.   Change has worked for Within Temptation.  We're not like AC/DC bringing out the same record. You can't make the same kind of music every time. Although I do respect that they can, it's something that even if we would like to we can't. That's what it's about.

 Did you ever think you could take it too far musically? And maybe create something the fans wouldn't embrace?  It's more like it's something you learn while you're doing it. On "The Unforgiving" we had new boundaries again because we had like this concept album also in a way. But this is really the first time we literally have no boundaries at all.

And that accounts for the addition of artists like X-Zibit, Tarja Turunen, Howard Jones and Dave Pimer?  You have special combinations with X-Zibit and Dave Pimer and still doing it within a certain reach of who you are. I think it still sounds very much Within Temptation. But it's just taking combinations that people don't expect from you and invite people on your album people might not expect. Of course Tarja and Howard Jones are people they would expect I think more or less and more than X-Zibit or Dave Pimer in a way.

Before we get to the new record, would you mind if we talked about some of the earlier stuff?  Yeah, no problem.

The Circle was a very early band and that became Voyage?  Yeah, exactly.

 You sang on an album called "Embrace" and a track called "Frozen." 
That's a coincidence. The two "Frozens" are different songs actually.  Of course. I just meant the titles.  Oh, I see. Of course.

You were working with Robert Westerhold in Voyage. Did you have an idea that far back of where you eventually wanted to go with your own music?  Yeah, I think so. At that time we came from the death metal period in Europe. What happened was we got inspired by a band called Paradise Lost because they were one of the first who actually used melody and also they had this song with this opera singer while doing these grunt vocals. They only had one song and they never made a whole concept out of it. Just one song (probably referring to "Breeding Fear" from the Lost Pardise album) and it opened our eyes.  You dug the sound of that harsh growled vocal with the clean opera vocals?  Also because we were very much into Condemned who were from England of course (actually from Ireland) and so it was those kinds of bands and Clannad where we made a mixture out of it. Those bands influenced us when we were forming the Circle. Voyage became actually the Circle and I think the Circle was really the foundation of everything. Voyage - they kicked out Robert after that because he was too bossy - and Martijn (Westerholt, Robert's younger brother and future keyboardist for Within Temptation) just continued with the voyage actually. But I think the Circle was really the basics for Within Temptation. When we started Within Temptation we asked those people back again. But I really think that was already setting the ground for where we still now are.

So you really did have a vision from the very earliest days of what you wanted Within Temptation to sound like?  Even then I think we had this sense of melancholy and darkness but in kind of a dreamy way. Very more doom metal than exactly what we're now doing, which is more uptempo of course. But still we had the melancholy there and we still had the sometimes dreamy kind of psychedelic kind of songs but in a different way again.

Were you listening at all to the straight-up prog bands like Genesis and King Crimson?

Yes, especially when I was growing up my parents were really into those kinds of bands. Jeroen (van Veen), the bass player, he is still in that kind of thing and he listens to lots of jazz, to Yes and also to Genesis. Marillion. Robert really loves Marillion and that was his first love.   Excellent band.  Yeah, exactly. But also after came Iron Maiden and those kind of bands for us. I must say myself I was more a grunge girl actually and listened to Tori Amos and Clannad. I was more into atmospherical kind of stuff.

Were you listening to metal at all?  The heavy stuff for me, my first love was actually Nirvana. Though you can't hear it in our kind of music but what I liked so much about that band and also Tori Amos was there was so much emotion there - it was raw emotion and I loved that so much. Because it was so honest and so pure and in your face and angry in a way also. So it really, really appealed to me a lot. It was my first encounter with heavier music and Tori Amos was more the poetic version of that though in a different kind of way. Because she was also with her lyrics, it touched me immediately when I heard it. When I met Robert, I got into contact with Paradise Lost and so in love with that kind of music.  There were different kinds of music that you were becoming aware of.  Yeah, it just grew gradually. Everybody takes their own influences into Within Temptation because everybody in the band is very different if I must say.

How are they different?

Jeroen is really the symphonic guy and he's the bass player. Martijn (Spierenburg, keyboards) is really the Celtic guy.

What is Robert?

Robert is really the metal and Celtic guy - he's like everything. He likes reggae, hip hop, he likes everything. But from origin he's really a metal guy and his first love of Marillion then became Iron Maiden. Everybody had similar kinds of bands but everybody came from a different corner. Robert grew up with his parents who had only really traditional classical music on. Heavy classical music. My parents were hippies is what they were (laughs). They listened to all kinds of music: the Big Bands from the '50s, Deep Purple, but also Pink Floyd, Chris Rea, ELO. You name it - they were playing it at home and I just grew up with that.  You really had a diverse palette.  When I was four years old, I got pocket money. I had a brother who was six years older and I was only allowed to spend my money on music because I was still a little baby and they didn't want me to spend it on candy or toys. They said, "You're gonna get that from us but now you're only gonna get to spend your money on music." So every Saturday I went with my mom and my brother to the record store and we bought several cassettes at the time.

What did you buy?

I came home with Moody Blues and Jeff Wayne's "The War of the Worlds" and those were the first tapes I ever when I was four years old. So that really was the basis for me for music. I knew a lot of music already from a very early age.

When you went in to record the first album - "Enter" - many of those songs had appeared on earlier demos?

Yeah. It was difficult for us because we made our demos for the first time ourselves and there was a certain atmospheres, which we found difficult to bring back on certain songs again for the real CD. And there was also time limitations and also because the people who were recording us didn't have the same ... how do you say it?  Vision?  Not the same vision but didn't understand our music maybe also. Because we had been of course constantly busy and trying to build a certain kind of sound and was difficult to bring that across or tell them what we wanted also because we were so inexperienced. I think actually the demos of "Enter" is still better than the real CD actually of certain songs anyway. The extra songs (tracks that weren't on the original demos) still turned out very well but I think. But the original ones for instance "Grace" or "Candles," it's really better on the demo actually than on the CD. It's not perfect but because it's not perfect it has more ambience somehow.  Lots of bands suffer from demoitis - chasing that vibe on the demo.  It's something that we're still struggling with every time we make demos. We have this demo syndrome - you fall in love with the demos and have to recapture that moment for the CD. That's something that was always very difficult.

You didn't have much time to lay down your vocals on the "Enter" album?

I had to sing the whole CD I think in one or two days. If you see how much time I have nowadays, it's like one day a song. It's still very short because I have to do all the ad libs and everything myself and that's a lot of work also of course. But I take my time to warm up and stuff and I didn't have that when I was doing "Enter." 

There were problems with the engineers on that record? 

What it also felt like was, I was more critical on how I did my takes than the one who was recording me. He said, "That was great" and I said, "No, it's not great. I was out of tune here and there." And he goes, "Oh, really?" I said, "Really. Let's do it again." They'd say, "Yeah, but I really thought it was great." And I'm like, "I don't think it was great. Let's do it again." If that's the standard then it's like, "Oh god" because you really have to pay attention on what's being recorded. Of course it was a budget thing and although there were really nice people who were helping us out at the time, it was something we had to learn.

In 1999, you built your own studio. Did this impact on the creativity of the band?

No, it was more like we had a place without our neighbors getting angry. We could make as much noise as we wanted to and also we could rehearse as much as we wanted to and whenever we wanted to. There was this drummer and he had this big shed and he said, "You know? You want to build a studio? It's fine. This is the rent."

You actually built the studio yourselves?

We just made sure we paid the rent every time and we were allowed to build a studio within the shed. But that took a lot of money and we always invested before with something. Although for us it was a hobby, for us it was a challenge to make this hobby the ultimate hobby (laughs). We put so much money into this although you could have also bought a car or something else. Every penny we earned, we always put back in the music and it was for years like this. It was fun because we just did our education and we were still studying and we were fine. But at the same time you also have to of course get realistic and say, "OK, there's a point where we have to have a real career or something."

You're talking about making a living?

The music is great but Holland is not the right country for us to have a career in music because people don't take it seriously. You say, "I'm a musician" and they say, "OK, what's your real job?" Because we don't have a tradition of going outside of Holland because Holland is such a small country and you can't be from Holland only to be successful. You need to go outside of Holland to make a really serious career.  How did you break out of Holland?  Knowing that we also started touring. But it was more like, "OK, we just do everything as long as we can and as much as we can besides our education. And when we have our degrees then we have to see how far we want to take it."

You were going to decide whether to keep the band going or break it up when you finished school?

We had our jobs and when we graduated, we were still doing this besides our jobs and we had all good jobs actually. The problem was I must say as I'm looking back now, I feel a bit guilty with the companies I was working for and Robert as well I think in a way. Because still we put so much effort into the band and I think that we should have put maybe also in our jobs. It was more like, "OK."

You were giving everything you had to Within Temptation and only kind of going through the motions when you were at work?

We took the jobs seriously until we went home. If you're trying to make a career you go on when you're at home and you study extra to get to know the branch in order to - do you know what I'm saying when I say branch?  A specialized field?  In some kind of jobs, you have to also get extra education to know even your work more.  Did you pursue additional schooling? 

We didn't do anything extra. It was just like once the job was done we went home and we made music and every weekend we were performing everywhere. Then it came a Monday and we're totally exhausted again and doing our job again (laughs) for the rest of the week. For two years, yeah. We got this hit and it was like the starting point of everything else but it came so unexpected.  What was the song that really did it for the band?  I think the whole album was special in a way because it had a certain sound and everybody who heard it in the metal scene, which was pretty big still in Holland at the time, we went number one everywhere. In all the rock charts in Belgium and it was mind blowing to everybody because you could feel there was something in the air. Also when we played somewhere, it was sold out in no time. Our fanbase became bigger and bigger and we saw something was growing.  That must have felt amazing for all that hard work you put into it.  All of a sudden we said, "We really need to bring out the video now." We had this video company that our record company had hired and we just threw it up. So we felt, "OK, then we make our own video. Let's just make our own video and see what happens." Even then everything didn't go the way we thought it was gonna be. We played on these really big festivals - Pinkpop - and we wanted to release our single and the record company forgot all the singles so there were no singles to be sold and those kinds of things.

There were still bumps in the road?

After that there was this thing called the Box - I don't know if you know it? You could call your video and all the videos had a number and then you come home and you could watch it on television and then you could call the number and say, "I want to see this video." Videos on request.

You put your video on a show like that?

We said, "OK, we make this video but nobody wants to show it" because we made it ourselves in the end. We were one of the few bands who had a website because a lot of guys in the band were like these whiz kids and all had this Internet knowledge. They make the sites and they were like programmers. Our guitar player and his brother. Anyway we had this very sophisticated site already in those days and we had put up a thing on the message site, like, "We have this video but nobody wants to show it. If you want to help us out just send an email to the the Box." Without exaggerating, within a few hours we got this call, "You really need to get this from the site because we're going crazy and everybody's calling us."
You had hardcore fans.  We didn't think it was gonna be picked up that seriously but our friends were really trying to help out and those kinds of things. So we said, "OK, sorry for the message that we made such trouble but we'll take it off the site." Then a month later they put the video still on their video requesting site called the Box. Then there was no stopping it because when people saw this song and everybody was talking about it, we were like, "Wow, again on the video on TV? Again with television." And we got requests to play on certain programs and stuff like that. Then in January we were like number two - we came in number 85 and then all of a sudden we were number two. The only one who was above us was Shakira with "Whenever Wherever."

What song was that?  "Ice Queen."

There is a little bit of Anne Wilson in your vocal on that song?  Yeah well, I did listen to her a little bit in the past because I did have music when I was growing up from the band (Heart). I really liked the music and I must say I did get that remark a lot but also people said, "Hey, you sound a little bit like Kate Bush but then different in a way." Because I had this really high-pitched voice so they felt like I was like Kate Bush with heavy guitars (laughs).

On "The Silent Force" album in 2004, you bring in some new players: Ruud Jolie on guitar, Martijn Spierenburg on keyboards and drummer Stephen Van Haestregt. Did they impact the sound of this third album?

Yeah, Martijn was also in the Voyage and the Circle. When they came the record was already written so it was more like they came after when the album was already released. The thing was more like there was also a little bit of change in the songwriting. With "Enter" and "Mother Earth," Robert and I wrote all the songs except for "Restless," which Martijn Westerhold - Robert's younger brother - wrote and it was the three of us.

The approach to writing changed on "The Silent Force?"

Robert and I always had a difficulty writing together. For the first two records it was like he gave me the music and I just did my vocal lines on it. He gave me music without any vocal lines and I just make something on it and that's how the first and second record was written actually. With the other albums it was like Robert writing on his own or with Daniel Gibson the producer or it was me and Martijn or me on my own writing songs. That's how from that moment on all the records were written and that's how it's always been.  That change in the approach to writing the songs certainly impacted the music of the band.  In a way it did. Yeah, of course. But I think because also we had to learn in a different way to write again. I must say "The Silent Force" was the worst album ever for us to write because we had so many locations (recorded at three different studios) it was really difficult for us. It was difficult because we I think we still had to learn so much. Also because we had a certain way of writing music and all of a sudden we changed it. So we had to find a new way of writing songs again also.

Why did you change the songwriting process from the "Enter" and "Mother Earth" albums?

When I was making vocal lines for the first two albums and lyrics it worked for me. I know for Robert, we never could work in one space because we were partners as well and we had a relationship together. Somehow it was too close or something to write that way anymore. It was also very heavy always. In making lyrics and coming up with vocal lines, it was coming naturally to me so it wasn't very difficult. But for Robert to do the music comfortably on his own, it was nice to work with someone probably to write the music and to get together and to inspire each other.   Which is why relationships in bands - and you think of everybody from Heart to Fleetwood Mac - rarely work out.  Somehow when you're having a relationship it's very difficult. With the music I was writing with Martijn, I could do that with him. I could tell him, "OK, I'm gonna have this kind of rhythm and I want you to play this kind of piano" and then together with the jamming something came out of it.

It would have been difficult - or impossible - to work that way with Robert? 

With Robert it wasn't possible because we're both leading kind of people. So it's always like two captains on the ship and they fight. I think everyone's more flexible in where it goes. It's like, "OK, you wanna try that? OK, fine." But with Robert, trying to get it in a certain way and we're always going opposite ends. That's a problem we have.  You can only have one chief and everybody else has to be Indians.  Yes, exactly. I think it's very good if somebody can be flexible because I find it's very difficult to be that flexible. So we both found somebody that fitted our personality and also because you don't have a real relationship with person. You have a relationship of course but more a working relationship than a romantic relationship with each other. It's so much easier to work because you still like each other no matter what happens (laughs).  That is totally understandable because songwriting is such a...  Personal thing.  Exactly. A very fragile thing.  Yeah, it’s too much.

Following the release of "The Heart of Everything," you do your first tour of America.

Yes, exactly. Yeah, it was like a big adventure. It also almost broke the band up I must say in the end.

Too much pressure?

We had been touring so much and we had postponed the tour in Europe and we came back from America - we had like six weeks there - we still had to do a few weeks more in Germany because that part of the tour got postponed for some reason. I can't remember even what it was. Maybe because we had to make a video or something and we had to postpone it. It was way too much. I don't think we had ever toured so much as in that year and of course I had a baby girl at home and we were away so much.   

At the end of 2007, Within Temptation took a year off?

At the end of that year, everything blew up for everybody. So afterwards we really had to get everybody together again and see what was left still to continue. It almost broke up the band up actually. It was a little bit too much - too much touring and everything.

You needed to get away from the band for a while?

Yeah, we needed a sabbatical and get a distance from everything. Also because Robert and I were separated for a certain time at that period. It was a bit too much strain on everything.

This was after you had the baby with Robert?

Yeah, it was after we had the baby. She was two-and-a-half at the time.

 That's very sad.

  Yeah, yeah. It was really too much. But in the end we both realized we can't be without each other. We fit very well together and after a few months - I think four months or something - we came back together again. After that everything went OK again. Also because we realized where the bottlenecks were. It was wrong how we did certain things. Touring is great but you need to have certain moments of rest and be in your own space again also if you're always in each other's space. It wasn't just Robert and me but the whole band. At the end of the tour if you hate each other almost then it's like, "OK, we did something wrong" (laughs).

When you came back together you recorded "The Unforgiving" album, which was like a new first step for the band.

We had written one song and it was already in a different sound. Actually the idea came from one song and the whole "The Unforgiving" concept was really based on the '80s. We felt it would be very cool if there would be this comic attached to it and we had a basic idea of what it should be about more or less. Then we tried to find somebody who could write a story for us. At the same time while we were developing this story together with the writer ("The Chronicles of Spellborn" creator, Steven O'Connell), we were developing the songs also at the same time. It became really this '80s sound but of course we were teenagers more or less in the '80s and we always loved comics.

It made sense to you to try and combine these two elements to create the main concept?

It really fits how we grew up with the comics and with the heroes we had because it's a little bit Iron Maiden, a little bit Metallica and a little bit of the other bands we grew up with. It was just a wink to them, an ode to them and a little bit here and there and little touches there of putting their music into our music in our own way. That was "The Unforgiving" for us.

How would you characterize the "Hydra" album?

With this album it was more like letting that go. A lot of bands were inspired by the '80s at the time we were writing "The Unforgiving" album. There was a lot of music based on the '80s coming out and it had a lot of '80s flavors. With this new album even though we're only a few years further up the road, you can feel that music has changed again. Music is not inspired on the '80s but more like there are different influences in the music again. Music's always organic and you feel things are changing comfortably.

The influence of '80s music on "The Unforgiving" album worked so well - did you think you wanted to try another album based on the same sounds?

When people asked us after "The Unforgiving," "Are you gonna make another "Unforgiving" album?" we said, "Of course." Because we were really full of it in a positive way. We really like the album a lot and still do like it a lot but we really feel there's an '80s feel to the songs. When we started writing this album again we felt like we were already knowing we were gonna go a different direction also.

Could you tell right away that "Hydra" was going to be different than "The Unforgiving?"

When we had written the first song, which is actually the first song on the album, "Let Us Burn," it felt like it should be more guitar-orientated. We knew the orchestra could still be there and we could still have the symphonic element there but it's really minimized actually more than ever. When you describe what Within Temptation is it's melancholy and heaviness. Emotion - real direct emotion in a way.

That's what every Within Temptation album has been about?  I felt if you do that description, you can say that for every album we brought out I think. Then it's still very much Within Temptation but 2013 instead of 2007 or 1997 when we brought out our first album. It always corresponds with the time we're bringing out an album and it really fits that time somehow. So I think this album really represents how we are now but also with elements from the past. 

What older sounds did you bring back?

We have one song with this growling voice (Robert Westerhold growling on "Silver Moonlight") again but not in combination with the classical voice. A more natural way of singing and how I'm doing it now mostly. Also we have the twin guitars again, which we had on "Mother Earth" and we use them in "Tell Me Why" in a certain way. So we're bringing a little bit of the '90s back and in this "Tell Me Why" song there's also this intro, which is more like an Alice in Chains kind of intro and the way they had the intros. Like ahh ahh ahh (sings descending melody line) and the harmonies? To my appearance (Sharon means "to my mind"). Hah hah hah.  "Tell My Why" has amazing harmonies on there.  Yeah, I like it also very much. You can see there was experimenting a lot and also with X-Zibit it was also again like we had a certain vision how there could be a crossover and keeping in mind Aerosmith and Run DMC at the time although it's a totally different song and totally different band. But we felt if they can do it, there must be a way to make also our music somehow crossover with rap. Not because we wanted to do something renewing (different) but we felt in an artistic point of view that it could really, really work with our kind of music.

Was it difficult finding that balance between the rap thing and rock?

We just tried and tried constantly with several songs and just taking rap music from the Internet and trying it on our songs. For a lot of songs it didn’t work and finally we had this song "And We Run" and we felt like, "OK, this could really work with this song." Combining this with a rap kind of voice like X-Zibit's, which is very dark and very heavy and has a lot of bass in it, was a good contrast with mine. He was like the perfect person to ask for this song and also because he already tried a lot of experimental stuff on his own things. He already tried rap with guitars and orchestration and we felt like, "OK, he's somebody who's really open-minded or open for this kind of collaboration."

You reached out to X-Zibit?

We contacted the management and they contacted him and pretty fast afterwards we were talking to X-Zibit. He heard the song and liked the song and we told him what the song was about. I must say I didn't talk to him but Robert did. I was still recording my vocals at the time he was talking to X-Zibit actually on Skype. We never met so far but hopefully we're gonna record a video soon for the song and gonna release that also.

Is that how you worked with Howard Jones and Dave Pimer - sending them tracks and having them record their parts remotely and then sending that back to you?

Yeah, exactly. Nowadays it's so easy to do it just in your own studio and everything. Everybody feels comfortable because they're in their own environment. Another thing was the time thing of course. We had to finish this album within a certain time.

Four collaborations on an album is a lot. Right?

Of course there were a lot - there were four collaboration - but we didn't think they'd all work out that well. You have a certain person in mind for it but you're not sure. So we tried four of them and we were very, very happy how they turned out. It was the best possible (results) we could get back. Also because it worked with the melodies and had the right impact and added something really cool to the song. We were happy they all worked in a certain way.

It felt natural asking Tarja Turunen to appear on a song?

We asked these people to collaborate with us because they reminded us somehow - and the song reminded us - of them somehow. An epic song like "Paradise (What About Us)" with Tarja could have been a song on her album as well as on our own album. It could have been written by her. We felt like it's in her comfort zone.

What was it like working with Howard Jones (ex-Killswitch Engage) on "Dangerous"?  We thought the song had some overlap with Killswitch Engage although he came back with this epic kind of voice.

Working with Dave Pimer (Soul Asylum) on "The Whole World is Watching" was a strange choice.  In the beginning when we wrote the song, it was really a Soul Asylum kind of song. I loved Soul Asylum and especially with the "Runaway Train" song. It was always very special to me. We felt like, "If we're gonna do this song on the album, we need to have him in as well." Because it's maybe on the border of what we normally do. All these people were actually asked because of the fact we had a certain vision of how they could sound really great on these songs.

What you doing now besides taking care of your kids and keeping Robert in line?

(laughs) That's a big job! We're doing some promotion and I've been going by airplane everywhere in Europe for the last two weeks to Germany and England to talk about the album. Having listening sessions with radio and magazines and stuff. So that's been the thing I’ve been focused on lately. We still have to do the video for "And We Run" and that's up next actually.  Thank you. Sing all the good notes.

OK. See you in America.

As one of the forerunners of the modern symphonic metal movement, and also having been pegged with the gothic and dubious female-fronted subgenre tags, Within Temptation have achieved great success in Europe, cultivated a loyal following in America, and continue to try new things. Their last album, The Unforgiving, pushed their ’80s pop and rock influences to the forefront, injecting an extra dose of melody into their music, while their latest release, Hydra, amps up the energy, even experiments with rap and touches of psychedelia, and features four guest vocalists. It’s a natural evolution for a band that started life as a doom/goth metal group with their 1997 debut, Enter, and has since grown in other directions, which makes the title of their new album highly apropos. Somehow, the group finds a way to balance it all out.

“I think with every album we’ve changed a lot,” confirms singer/lyricist Sharon den Adel, calling the Aquarian from Holland. “If you compare Enter with Mother Earth, it’s also a really big change. We’ve always been a very melodic band but also very heavy with the guitars really up in your face, and for us this [Hydra] is the heaviest and most up-tempo album we’ve made so far.”

The group has often used full string sections on their studio works and even released an orchestral live release called Black Symphony. This time up there is trippy cello work in the mid-section of the majestic “Edge Of The World,” but the symphonic feeling enhancing the hard-driving songs comes mostly from keyboardist Martijn Spierenburg. Robert Westerholt’s axe work certainly drives most of the tunes here, like the lead single “Dangerous,” which features vocals from former Killswitch Engage frontman Howard Jones. He is not to be confused with the ’80s new wave artist of the same name, who would probably also manage to fit in comfortably on a Within Temptation album with the right song. (If you want to hear how diverse the band’s tastes are, grab the limited edition two-disc set of Hydra which includes covers of songs by Imagine Dragons, Lana Del Rey, Passenger, and Enrique Iglesias.)

Den Adel says that propulsive lead single “Dangerous” is inspired by daredevils, thrill seekers, and people living on the edge. Considering the uptempo nature of the tune, the subject matter seemed highly appropriate. They also felt that musically it overlapped with that of Killswitch Engage, and being a fan of that band and its former frontman, they reached out to him. To their surprise, he not only had known about the Dutch outfit for years, but was eager to contribute.

“It was funny because we could’ve asked him years ago,” says den Adel. “We sent him the song with a guide track for the vocals, and knowing Killswitch Engage we felt he would do more screaming, but he came back with this really epic kind of vocal style. It was a surprise, and we didn’t know he could sing like this as well. We were surprised, but it was better than what we initially had in mind. We’re happy that he’s on it because the song really grew from that.”

The other three Hydra vocal collaborations also yielded great results. Former Nightwish vocalist Tarja Turunen appears on “Paradise (What About Us)?” and her operatic vocals glide and intertwine beautifully with those of den Adel. It’s a natural fit for the two pioneering metal sirens. Soul Asylum singer Dave Pirner also lends his raspy style to the haunting closing ballad “The Whole World Is Watching.” The sharp contrast to those contributions is “And We Run,” which spotlights the rapping of Xzibit. Westerholt in particular is a fan of the American rapper, and when the idea of combining his genre with the music of Within Temptation emerged, he was the obvious choice for the guitarist.

“I didn’t know if he would do this to be honest,” admits den Adel. “But Xzibit is a very open-minded guy who’s experimenting with rap and uses guitars sometimes and has been working with orchestral things. I have this really high voice, and he has this very dark and deep voice, which is a cool contrast already. The fact that he’s open-minded to experimentation made us think he was the right guy for us. And we liked his music.”

Their management knew Xzibit’s people, and the band soon asked him about the collaboration. He offered the chance to see if it worked, and they clicked. Other than explaining the idea behind the song, den Adel says they gave him carte blanche to do what he wanted, as lyrics are a rapper’s signature. “We wanted to give him the opportunity to do something for his own perspective and add his own thing to it because that’s what we wanted to have from him,” she says. “I think it came out very cool, and what is special about the song is that it doesn’t have a rock or metal structure, it has a dance structure. The song became original in the form it’s already in and also because of Xzibit. There are no dance elements in the song, but it’s more like how dance music is built up and how they create a structure. It sounds different from the songs that we normally do, and it is the most special song on the album.”

In the way that “Dangerous” deals with thrill seekers, Hydra‘s lyrics on the whole invoke the ideas of maintaining one’s identity and holding on to one’s sense of self even in the face of overwhelming circumstances. Den Adel explains that “Covered By Roses” was inspired by the idea of living in the moment and celebrating important moments with people you care about. Many life transitions can be hard, whether it is moving on or someone leaving your life, and those memories can keep you strong in the future.

The members of Within Temptation understand this theme well. Den Adel and Westerholt have three children together, and she acknowledges that she is always juggling two worlds. “I couldn’t just be a mom, neither could I just be a musician,” the singer explains. “I need to have both worlds to be happy, and I just try to find the right balance between things. When we started the band we were so young and very dedicated to it, so every weekend we were playing because we loved doing it. We almost drowned in it. We put all our other needs aside. I never went to clubs. I didn’t have time for it because I was always with the band, always doing stuff for the band or with the band. I neglected certain things and grew up very quickly with this band.”

Always being on the road and working with the band meant that she missed out on certain parts of her life, but she has also gained much from the success that she and her bandmates have achieved. “Certain sacrifices give something back to you, but you’ve also lost something,” she admits. “It’s important to think about what kind of balance you need in life. It almost broke up the band in 2007 after we came back from America because of all the touring. At that time, I had a one-year-old at home, and for two-thirds of the year we were on the road constantly. She had been on tour with us for a certain time. It wasn’t just that fact but also that everybody had been living on a nightliner for such a long time. We were so much in each other’s faces that at the end of it we really hated each other more or less. We really needed a break from each other in 2008, and Robert and I also split up for a few months because things didn’t go the way that we wanted them to. Everything was too heavy. But it brought back a new balance which works today. We realize that everything needs its space, and everything in life needs its space, like family and friends but also our passion for our band. It’s about balancing things, and that was a big change.”

 

Within Temptation will perform at Vintage Vinyl on Jan. 27. Hydra will be released Feb. 4 through Nuclear Blast. For more information, go to within-temptation.com.

Within Temptation fans are highly anticipating the release the band’s brand new record ‘Hydra,’ which arrives in North America on Feb. 4. The disc features numerous guest vocalists including Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner, rapper Xzibit, former Nightwish songstress Tarja Turunen and ex-Killswitch Engage singer Howard Jones, who offers vocals on the single ‘Dangerous.
Loudwire recently spoke with the band’s frontwoman Sharon den Adel about recording ‘Hydra,’ teaming up with the aforementioned eclectic vocalists and much more. Check out our interview with Sharon den Adel of Within Temptation below:

What does the title ‘Hydra’ mean to you personally?

It represents a few things, from a music perspective for us — every head is a character and the character stands for a different side for us musically like the melodic part, the bombastic part or the symphonic part. Now we’ve added new elements to our music with one song but again another character, it’s a rap combination with our kind of music. It’s stands for new things and also the past.
Lyrically, ‘Hydra’ stands for facing your demons and to embrace your fear and move forward. There will always be a certain issue in life. A short example of this is the song ‘Covered by Roses,’ which is about the passing of someone but also carpe diem and making the most of now and the memories you do have together. You’ll celebrate this person’s life still, they’re apart of you and you’ll take them with you.

What an eclectic mix of guests on this album. Talk about working with Tarja Turunen, Howard Jones, Xzibit and Soul Aylum’s Dave Pirner.

Well I’ll say, you’ll never know what you’re going to get when you ask someone you don’t know. There’s so many collaborations on this album because we didn’t know if it would go over well. From a music perspective we thought, “Okay there might be one or two that might not work out somehow.” We got lucky and they all worked out somehow, sometimes a lot of things just work and it goes the way you were hoping for. We looked at the songs when we wrote them [and thought,] “What could we add now to the song now that the album is finished?”

Dave Pirner for instance, it wasn’t the question whether we were going to put it on the album or not, we love the song. We didn’t want to go too far away from what we originally do, we like to experiment a lot but this was really on the edge. We tried to make as less limitations as possible to see if it works or not but also it reminds of us Soul Asylum in a way. It’s got melancholies but at the same time it has uplifting guitar playing like this ‘Runaway Train’ kind of song, it has the same kind of feel to it.

It was a very difficult thing to find him [Dave Pirner] actually because he’s not really into social media and those kinds of things which we had hoped to find him on. We found him through other people eventually and it took a while to track him down actually. It took us some months maybe we didn’t ask the right people but we had to start somewhere. When we did meet him, he’s such a nice guy, very friendly and he liked the song, the rest is history.
We had met him and you don’t know someone so how do you break the ice? How do you get to know each other? We took him to Amsterdam and explored the town and the day after that we had the ‘Dangerous’ video with Howard Jones and he [Pirner] was still there so he went to our museums and he came back and it was a really good time, we had fun working with him.

Is there any artist you dream to work with that you haven’t had a chance to work with yet?

There’s such a list of people I would love to work with but the thing is you need to have the right song. There are so many people that are talented and that you admire but when the song is there, then you might think of that person.

How was the recording process of ‘Hydra’ for you?

If you compare it to the first album we ever did, which was a long time ago, we got more time for it which is very nice. We had two or three days for a song and I remember with the first record ‘Enter’ and I tracked my vocals in one day I think for all eight songs. [Laughs] So that was a major difference, so I would write lyrics one day and finalized it, then the demo and then the main lead vocals and backing.

Were there memorable moments while recording a specific song that stood out for you?

Yes, well every song has a different story of course. I think the song ‘Edge of the World’ is more close to me because it’s a more personal song and it has a long track record. I wrote this song with this guy I think in 2009 and the song was written in a totally different form. It appeared on the record because he called me and was like, “Do you remember we had this day in Amsterdam and we wrote this song together.” I always try to write with different people because if you write on your own or with the same people more or less the same things come up and that’s fine. When you work with other people you learn from each other.

Anyway the song came out and it started more like a grunge kind of song. What started me with heavy music was the grunge period. I was really a grunge girl. So we’re like, “Oh how cool we wrote a grunge song” and it changed to more of a piano kind of song. He called and was like, “Do you remember this song?” and it was a special song to me. We met each other again in Amsterdam and made this song out of it, it’s more psychedelic and we lowered the tempo. Musically things change a lot, it just became a really special song and I’m really proud at how it turned out.

After 15 years of making music as a band, how have you evolved as a musician with each new album?

I did new things. I think the change started with ‘The Unforgiving’ album, the one before this one. We felt like we had to let go of all boundaries of our musicial style. With ‘The Heart of Everything’ two albums back, we finalized our symphonic style, we tried to make it sound better and better. With ‘The Unforgiving’ the previous album, we let all boundaries go.
We thought if we let this go maybe we can grow again because we were stuck at a certain point. When we did that it was like a no brainer of course  and it gave us more room and we listen to all types of music. Any kind of rhythm from any kind of music could inspire us and we came up with the most extreme kind of thing. These last two albums have been so much easier to write than ever before.

[The albums] from ‘Enter’ to ‘The Heart of Everything’ were very difficult for us to write, we had a lot of blockades musically and we were stressed because of it. Sometimes you didn’t write for certain periods of time but also the clock is ticking away. For the past two albums it has gone so smooth, it amazes me still. You don’t realize that you setting boundaries for yourself makes it harder for yourself. It was an eye opener to just start writing and not to think about anything and in the end it still very much turned into a Within Temptation album with different angles and perspectives.
Our thanks to Sharon den Adel for taking the time to speak with us. Within Temptation’s new album, ‘Hydra,’ can be ordered at iTunes or at the band’s official website.

Hydra continues to be a success on the official album charts: #1 The Netherlands, #4 in Germany, #6 in the UK, #9 in France, and #16 in the US next to Top 5 positions in Finland, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Japan and Czech Republic.

Sharon: “We are truly excited about the overwhelming reactions to Hydra. We just got back from an intense promo tour in the US, Poland and the Czech Republic and Hydra is on fire! We will do everything we can to make the flames go even higher.”

The third Hydra single ‘Whole World is Watching’ was recorded in two versions: an international version with Dave Pirner (Soul Asylum) and a second version created especially for friends in Poland, with Piotr Rogucki (COMA).

Due to incredibly high demand, we are releasing a special Whole World is Watching EP package with both versions of the single featuring Dave and Piotr. The package also includes two exclusive demo versions of tracks that are not on the final album. In addition to these songs, the EP package also includes the music video for Whole World is Watching with Dave Pirner.

Sharon on the b-side tracks:

Keep on Breating
“I’ve been working on this song with Martijn and we didn’t have enough time to finish it. This track is still a demo version, but it’s definitely worth listening to!”

One of These Days
“This is a special song, but it just doesn’t fit the album. It has a completely different sound than the other tracks on the album, but strangely enough this will probably be my new favourite b-side track.”

The Whole World is Watching EP will be available on Friday February 21 via iTunes in Europe only.

Tracklist:
1. WWIW Dave Pirner
2. WWIW Piotr Rogucki
3. Keep on Breathing (demo)
4. One of These Days (demo)
5. WWIW video Dave Pirner

Due to the current developments and instability in the Ukraine, Within Temptation unfortunately has had to make the difficult decision of postponing their Kiev show. The concert scheduled for Thursday, March 6th at Stereoplaza in Kiev has been rescheduled. The new date is October 30th 2014.

Sharon: “It’s very unfortunate and we deeply regret that we have to do this, but the safety of our fans and crew is our highest priority, at all times. At this time, we have been advised, it is not possible to guarantee a safe concert experience. We have good faith that stability will be restored and that everything will be resolved peacefully in the Ukraine, and that is why we have chosen to reschedule our show for October. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Our thoughts are with the people in the Ukraine during these uncertain times. We’ll see you in October, be safe!”

Tickets already bought will be valid for the new show on October 30th 2014. Ticket holders who are unable to attend the new date can return their ticket (purchased for 6th March show) at the box office from which they purchased their tickets. Tickets can be returned after the new show date within 3-7 november 2014.

Within Temptation is giving you the chance to record with the band by using the iPad app WholeWorldBand and you may be featured on a future single release of Within Temptation.

Here’s how it works
Singers, musicians, rappers – everyone can add their performance to the special seed video recording of Within Temptation’s ‘And We Run’, creating a complete new version with their contribution, simply by using the easy-to-use and free iPad app.

Sing with the band, replacing Sharon; take Jeroen’s place by recording the bass line; show maestro Martijn how it’s done by recording keys for the song; or whip out an amazing guitar solo and lift the song to a whole new level like Ruud and Stefan do. Of course all kinds of instruments are welcome; you can also sing in your own language, create new lyrics, replace the drums by your own beats. There are no creative limits!

ast week, Mike received a brand new Pearl Reference Pure drum kit, especially adjusted to his personal preferences, to take on tour. Mike personally got to put together his new kit and test it at Pearl Music Europe.

The Dutch drummer-orentied magazine “Slagwerkkrant” joined Mike to ask him some questions on his new gear for the Hydra tour and shoot some footage of him tyring out his drum kit for the first time. Mike personally explained what his kit consists of and what Pearl costumized especially for him.

Single on high rotation on BBC2 radio.

Within Temptation’s latest single ‘Whole World Is Watching’ has been added to the A-list of BBC2 radio. A milestone for the Dutch band, it’s the first time their music hit the radio in the United Kingdom and immediately entered the top 30 airplay chart. Within Temptation is also nominated for an AIM Award in the category of Independent Album of The Year with their album ‘Hydra’ which was released in January 2014. The album was released in the United Kingdom by their label Dramatico, the label that is also responsible for the UK breakthrough of Dutch artist, Caro Emerald.

Singer Sharon den Adel was pleasantly surprised by the English success: “Over the past years our UK fan base has kept on growing. Their support has brought us from a small stage Scala in 2004 to this years sold out Wembley arena in London. This show was a milestone in our career, and it’s hard to imagine the year could get any better. The BBC radio 2 playlist and now the nomination for AIM Best Album undeniably marks our most incredible year in the UK thus far. We want to thank our fans for this amazing journey.”

The AIM Awards, created to support independent labels and their talent in the UK, will be held on September 2, 2014. In the past, artists like Adele, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Alt-J and Vampire Weekend were awarded by the organization for their creativity and dedication. Alongside Within Temptation, other nominees this year include London Grammar, Arctic Monkeys and FKAtwigs.

‘Hydra’ is the sixth album released by the Dutch rock band. The album debuted at No. 1 in the Rock and Metal charts in the United States, and charted at No. 1 on the iTunes charts that include musical talent from no less than 10 European countries.

Within Temptation is touring America and Latin America as part of their world tour until the end of 2014. From February 28 until April 24, they will be playing in Dutch theaters.

Dutch symphonic rock band WITHIN TEMPTATION are thrilled to unveil a new live DVD/Blu-ray/2CD. ‘Let Us Burn – Elements & Hydra Live In Concert’ is set for release on November 14 and features two of WITHIN TEMPTATION’s most talked about arena shows ever. The two dates are 2012’s resplendent 15th birthday ‘Elements’ concert and the final night of the ‘Hydra’ European arena tour at Amsterdam’s Heineken Music Hall in May 2014. When it comes to the live experience, Within Temptation’s status is of a league extraordinaire. These two performances showcase every nuance of their fierce reputation plus stunning imagery and special FX, including even giant fire-breathing dragons!

In November 2012, WITHIN TEMPTATION challenged themselves to create one of their most impressive arena shows ever, to celebrate the band’s 15th birthday. The result was the one-off symphonic ‘Elements’ show, held at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. A dazzling event with 15,000 fans, the band’s dream came to life. Newly inspired, the group went forth to write their critically acclaimed sixth studio album ‘Hydra’.

LetUsBurn_DVDBluRay_cover_300DPI_RGB FINAL s
In early 2014, WITHIN TEMPTATION unleashed ‘Hydra’. This monster record claimed more than 10 European Top-10 chart positions, a #2 position in the iTunes World Charts, and the band’s highest US Billboard Top-20 chart position to date. The album success was followed by a 33-date European arena tour, selling out noted venues like Wembley Arena in London, Le Zenith in Paris, and the legendary Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam (twice).
Over 15,000 fans joined the ‘Elements’ show celebrations and more than 120,000 fans witnessed the ‘Hydra’ beast on stage in Europe, but WITHIN TEMPTATION is far from done. The ‘Hydra’ world tour is currently in full swing in North America. With South America and Japan still to come, more than half a million fans will have seen WITHIN TEMPTATION by the end of this year.

WITHIN TEMPTATION is renowned for releasing impressive live DVDs. Previous release, the best-selling ‘Black Symphony’ DVD, helped make them one of the most popular bands in their genre. At their recent Awards show in Berlin, Metal Hammer Germany presented WITHIN TEMPTATION with the prestigious Best Live Band Award. The new DVD underlines this title.
‘Let Us Burn – Elements & Hydra Live In Concert’ will be released in four formats – DVD + 2CD, Blu-ray + 2CD, 2CD, and digital album. The DVD and Blu-ray contain 34 live audio visual tracks in HD, mixed in 5.1 Dolby Surround. The 2CD and digital album comprise 32 live audio tracks. The two shows have a running time total of approximately 170 minutes. ‘Let Us Burn – Elements & Hydra Live In Concert’ is a treat for rock fans all over the world.

Sonic Cathedral was lucky enough to catch up with Sharon den Adel in person, backstage before the band’s sold out concert in San Francisco (the first stop of their 2014 U.S. tour). Sharon took a break from signing 6,000 posters for fans (!) to tell us about reactions to Hydra, including the controversial “And We Run”; what the band learned from adapting Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness”; how the upcoming Hydra DVD became an Elements DVD (a scoop we promised not to share until the band announced it); the inspiration for “Dangerous” and “Covered by Roses”; her favorite Game of Thrones character; and why WT’s tour doesn’t include as many states as she’d like. Read on!

Sonic Cathedral:  Thank you for agreeing to another interview with Sonic Cathedral. Our staff and our readers are all big fans.

Sharon:  Cool.

Sonic Cathedral:  Welcome back to California too.

Sharon:  Yeah, I love it. It’s nice weather, better than Europe at the moment. It’s always a pleasure to play here, so looking forward to it tonight.

Sonic Cathedral:  Are you getting to do anything fun in San Francisco or just sign posters for the fans?

Sharon:  We were here on Tuesday, so we saw Fisherman’s Wharf. And we went to Haight-Ashbury. It was beautiful as well. I’ve been to both places many times before already, like the two times we were here. But I like it very much, and those areas are very appealing to us, being a tourist of course.

Sonic Cathedral:  So how many posters are you signing for the fans, do you know?

Sharon:  A couple of thousand, I think close to six thousand. It’s crazy. We never thought that there’d be so many people who would buy the tickets so early, because we said if you buy the ticket early you get a free poster. So somebody had that bright idea, I’m not sure if it was me or somebody else in the crew or something. But it backfired a bit (laughs).

Sonic Cathedral:  Yes, well I overheard that the show is sold out tonight.

Sharon:  Yeah, it is. But a lot of people are coming to pick up their poster as well.

Sonic Cathedral:  Well congrats on that, and congrats on the success of Hydra. It was your most successful album to date in the US right?

Sharon:  Yeah it is, yes. It’s very special. They like The Unforgiving, but especially hard rock has been very successful here. You never know how people will react to your new album, and I’m really happy to see that this album went down well.

Sonic Cathedral:  I think the best song for me is probably “And We Run” even though it’s the most unusual.

Sharon:  Really? The guys before you, they really hated it, so the opinions are very divided on that.

Sonic Cathedral:  It’s polarizing?

Sharon:  Yeah, yeah it is.

Sonic Cathedral:  I read an interview recently with Linkin Park, where they said when they introduced rap to nu metal, and they went on their first tour on Ozzfest, people were throwing things at them, they just hated it so much.

Sharon:  Really, ohhh.

Sonic Cathedral:  I think your fans have been a lot more accepting of new stuff right?

Sharon:  Yeah they are, because they also know that we’re always doing this kind of thing, always trying new things. For us it’s the reason that we’re still around. Otherwise we would be so bored, or have so much writer’s block. Now we still aim to do what we like, and this is the only way forward, actually.

Sonic Cathedral:  You would think that symphonic metal fans in general would be more open to combining new things than maybe average metal fans?

Sharon:  Yeah. But maybe because this scene has already been around for such a long time, it has a certain history also, that it’s become a box of its own, you know, like how to fit in, and how to be, and how to play. Unfortunately. But yeah, it goes with everything.

Sonic Cathedral:  I also thought it was cool that you included as bonus tracks on Hydra some of the Q-Music sessions. Did you learn anything new from doing that kind of music that helped you write Hydra?

Sharon:  We were doing those covers at the moment that we also started writing new songs for Hydra, and it helped us a lot, actually. Especially the song of Lana Del Rey because we transposed her song from a mid-tempo kind of a song to a more up-tempo song, and we added guitars, and different tonalities and stuff, and we learned what you can do if you keep in mind what kind of rhythm you have in the beginning, what you choose for rhythm in the beginning. Like for instance, “Paradise,” which you hear in the background, was actually a ballad in the beginning, and we did that on purpose, because it’s easier to write a ballad. But if you write it in the right tempo you can transpose it to a heavier, up-tempo song in the end. And that’s what we did we with a lot of songs, like “Silver Moonlight,” and for us it’s an easier way to write up-tempo songs, because in the past somehow it was always a bit difficult for us. This is the most up-tempo album we’ve ever made. This was one of the keys to do it. That’s the writing process.

Sonic Cathedral:  That’s cool. I’ve also been hearing rumors on the Internet of a coming DVD, do you have any comments on that yet?

Sharon:  On Tuesday you’re gonna hear a lot more, but when is it going to be out, this interview (laughs)?

Sonic Cathedral:  The interview will not be published at least for two weeks.

Sharon:  Oh, yes (laughs). It’s going to be an Elements DVD, actually. It started out to be a Hydra DVD, and then on the final hour of the final day we decided not to go through with it, because we had put Elements as an extra on it, and we were watching it, and it was so beautiful. In our mind, when we did the show, we were never happy completely with it. But looking back on it, it was way better than we ever thought. Somehow it just turned really bad in our heads. Sometimes time does that to something. And we had to come back on our decision. (The soundcheck reaches a crescendo.) Let me see if I can close the doors, one second. (Sharon leaves and comes back after the music stops.) You always see that, he stops when you close the door.

Sonic Cathedral:  Well the show is more important than the interview (laughs)!

Sharon:  No, this is also important of course. So, at the final moment we decided to do the Elements show because it looked so great, and we flipped it around. Elements is the main thing, we added almost the whole show on it, and the Hydra is the extra. But you get both, because people also wanted to have Hydra. You can’t compare the two, because the Hydra show is like a regular show, and Elements is theater.

Sonic Cathedral:  Yeah, I was there, so I know what you mean.

Sharon:  And people were also asking so many times about Elements, please make a DVD out of it. We always said we’re never going to do it. And that’s why we put some extras on it. But then working on it, we were like it’s actually really good, damn, we should turn it around. It cost us a lot of money to turn that around again, but we felt like we would never ever release it afterwards either, because after releasing a few songs it doesn’t make sense to do another DVD. It costs a lot of money. It did in the end still (laughs). It was a hard to make the DVD because so many things went wrong, but in the end now it’s perfect, the way it’s coming out, it just looks perfect, it sounds perfect. So I’m really happy about it.

Sonic Cathedral:  That’s really good news, because that’s a show worth sharing with the whole world.

Sharon:  Yeah, exactly. And I think it’s very important also to show. The other thing is we have Black Symphony as the last thing we released as a DVD. And you don’t want to do a normal show as a DVD as a follow up after Black Symphony. Black Symphony was over the top, you know how we did things. And Elements is the only thing you should bring out after something like that.

Sonic Cathedral:  Cool, I will look forward to that, and I won’t tell anyone before you make the announcement (laughs). (Brief break while Sharon talks to crew.) So it seems like sometimes that you write songs that are based on your personal experiences and sometimes they seem from your imagination. Is that right?

Sharon:  Yeah that’s true. Sometimes also it doesn’t always have to be about me, but it’s more like people around you. You gather ideas from everything in life of course. It can be personal, but also from people that you know and things you see on television or movies, and you get inspired.

Sonic Cathedral:  So which type of song is “Dangerous”?

Sharon:  “Dangerous” is more the type of song that we got inspired. I don’t know, the subject just came up, we were looking at some extreme sports on television, that’s how it got stuck in my mind when we started the recording of the song. “Dangerous” was already in the demo phase. It was like, you know what, let’s keep it because we have a cool theme there. There are some people who are crazy doing these crazy things. But I understand it because I like it, the adrenaline feeling. I get it from being on stage, I don’t need to jump from buildings. Luckily. I’m afraid of heights (laughs). We all find our own way. And some people just do it this way.

Sonic Cathedral:  You have done a little race car driving with Robert I think?
Sharon:  Yes. I tried it once, and well it wasn’t my kind of thing. But it was his thing, you know. I like other things.

Sonic Cathedral:  That always made me smile, when being a rock star is not enough adrenaline you have to become a race car driver.

Sharon:  Yeah (laughs). Robert is a guy of extremes.

Sonic Cathedral:  So I’ve heard your explanation of Hydra as having lots of heads that represent different aspects of your music.

Sharon:  Yeah, exactly. We have many different influences. From the day we started, we started of course like a doom metal band, they called us. And it’s always what’s popular in the world apparently, what label they give us. Then suddenly we became symphonic metal, and then with some of the ads Silent Force became gothic metal. I always hated that name, by the way. Not because I don’t like gothic or don’t like metal. I hated the fact they always changed the labels for us. For us we were always symphonic metal or symphonic rock. And we also had the Celtic feel to our songs. We had so many different influences from different sides. Anyway, every head is for every aspect of our music. The hydra also means face your fears and embrace your demons. The hydra is also a demon in a way. Not musically, but more about the personal things in life. The lyrics are also about the bigger things in life that come back every time, but in a different way because you look at the same subjects, the big themes in life like death and happiness and love, and those kinds of things that everybody has to deal with in life. Twenty years ago I looked differently at those kinds of things than nowadays. I take it with a little bit more melancholy, but less heavy than I used to.

(The soundcheck becomes super loud, and Sharon steps away. In the meantime I ask Jeroen, who is busy signing posters, how’s your hand? “I won’t be able to play here tonight, sorry. Nah, it’s ok. Just sign here. Just sign here.” Quiet returns, and Sharon reappears.)

Sonic Cathedral:  You were saying how your perspective has changed over the years?

Sharon:  Yeah. Like for instance the song “Covered by Roses” really sums it up, the whole feeling lyrically, actually, because it’s about the passing of someone, and then somebody was afraid. Of course, things change and there’s one person who’s not there anymore, and you have a certain kind of relationship with each other. But it’s more like that I see you have to enjoy the moment now. Make those moments, and don’t wait until twenty years when you are going on your pension to take that big beautiful trip and then you die within a year. How many times do you hear that. So those kinds of things. Carpe diem. Really take your moment. I think that’s a positive way of seeing things, instead of being sad about the fact that things are going to pass. Things are going to pass. You knew that already, for many years. You better turn it into something positive. There’s always going to be this melancholy around it, of course. That’s the best way to deal with it. You live so many years in time.

Sonic Cathedral:  Are you also into dragons?

Sharon:  I love dragons (laughs).

Sonic Cathedral:  Do you like Game of Thrones?

Sharon:  I love Game of Thrones. You know, I read those books at least ten, fifteen maybe twenty years ago, when they released them for the first time in Holland, when it was translated. I never read them in English, actually. But I was always waiting for the new episode to come out, and it always took years and years, like every album of ours as well (laughs). So to follow the story you have the read the first book again, because there are so many characters in this story. And I love that, I love it. I’m so happy now there’s this series out now. It’s the best, really the best. He’s really the best fantasy writer around, there’s no better. But the only thing is he takes too much time.

Sonic Cathedral:  Who is your favorite character?

Sharon:  Arya actually. In the book it was always Arya. In the movie it changed to someone else, the lady of the dragons, Khaleesi (laughs).

Sonic Cathedral:  So is your song “The Promise” at all related to Catelyn and the Red Wedding? I’m not sure which came out first, but they’ve always seemed similar to me.

Sharon:  Actually it was from a different fantasy book, that I was inspired about that. What was it called again? The Laws of Magic? First Law, Second Law? I don’t have the name of the writer. It was also good in the beginning, but then he was too much of a super hero and never died. And she was also like this (laughs). In fact getting boring at the end. But in the beginning it was good. It was also very heavy. It’s not as good as the George R.R. Martin books. It became you really knew he was never going to die, he would always end up with her again. It’s almost like this romantic book. It was a little bit too sweet. But the song was on a different fantasy, unfortunately.

Sonic Cathedral:  I think you could sort of reapply it. It almost applies to Catelyn.

Sharon:  Yeah, exactly.

Sonic Cathedral:  Well I’ve taken a lot of your time. Are there any last things you’d like to say to our readers, in America and elsewhere?

Sharon:  We are always happy to play America, it’s really nice to be here. Also we know we have a lot of fans out there, and unfortunately because we’re trying to combine two worlds together, we all have families, that’s why we can’t tour everywhere. That’s why we always do these states, actually. And I think it’s unfortunate, and we get a lot of complaints, and I’m sorry about that. People complain about the fact that we don’t play everywhere, but we have to make choices. But maybe it will be in the future that we’ll do the other states instead of these states and also visit those states. But they better be there, you know! Otherwise I’m going to kick your butt (laughs).

Sonic Cathedral:  We’re very spread out in this country. Thank you so much for your time. I’ll let you continue getting ready.

Sharon:  Yeah, I’m going to sign a few more, he’s catching up with me, I was actually ahead, by 1000.

Sonic Cathedral:  I got you behind here, sorry.

Sharon:  No, I was already late when I came here because I got hardly any sleep, and so did he. Everybody has jet lag. I only had two hours sleep, I couldn’t sleep. Maybe I’m going to try to sleep an hour in the bus later on.

Sonic Cathedral:  Really looking forward to the show.

Sharon:  It’s good to be back again, and it’s great that you’re here again. Thank you.

* * *

Postscript:  I also want to add a mini-review of Within Temptation’s San Francisco and LA shows, which I attended. They were fantastic! This was the ninth and tenth time I’ve seen Sharon sing (counting once with Delain at MFVF 2013), and she sounded the best ever. She handled all of her different styles perfectly, from delicate high notes to urgent anthems. The band also played to perfection, with lots of expression. The crowds were large, adoring, and energized! In LA, I was with a first-timer friend, and it was fun seeing how blown away he was. I also saw Facebook posts of other newcomers saying WT had become their new favorite band.

“Our Solemn Hour” remains my all-time favorite WT song, so I was excited to hear it again, with all its drama. It was also a treat to hear “The Cross,” which Sharon once said is her favorite song to sing. It really shows off her spectacular abilities. Among the new material, I especially enjoyed “Let Us Burn,” “Edge of the World,” and “Covered by Roses.” The latter has special meaning to Sharon, as she said, and it shows in her performance. I really like the message too. “Edge of the World” is also a vocal showcase for her.

As a special treat, we got a beautiful acoustic version of “Sinead” and also (in LA) “Never-Ending Story.” As for other classics, WT played excellent renditions of “Stand My Ground,” “See Who I Am,” and of course “Mother Earth” and “Ice Queen.” Perhaps the setlist was a little light on older material -- I would have added “Restless” or “Candles” and “The Promise” or “Deceiver of Fools” -- but I love the newer songs, so I didn’t mind.

Staging was necessarily less elaborate than in Europe due to travel constraints, but the lights and video were very effective. Duets were handled with on-screen appearances by Tarja, Howard Jones, Xzibit, and Keith Caputo. Sharon was also great about talking to the crowd before key songs, giving them more meaning.

It was an amazing two evenings!

Huge thanks to Amy Sciarretto of Atom Splitter PR and Jon Freeman of Freeman Promotions for helping to arrange the interview, and to Within Temptation's tour manager Piet!

Within Temptation dared a young guitar hero from the Netherlands to rock along at the Hydra show in Antwerp, and play a guitar solo live in front of all of you.

Zapp Music Challenge, a new Dutch television series, provides young musical children the challenge of a lifetime. That all of these boys and girls can play instruments and write songs is a given. But will they be up for the task to play a solo in front of a huge live audience?

The band coached the talented little guitar player Rick to perform live at the show in Antwerp this year! The road to Rick’s grand performance has been captured from start to finish.

Tune in to Nederland 3 this Saturday October 11 at 07.00PM (GMT+1) to watch Rick tame the beast.

Dear fans,

It’s very unfortunate and we deeply regret that we have to do this, but since the political situation in the Ukraine is still uncertain and not 100% safe for international travelers, we have no other choice than to postpone our planned show in Kiev. We always like to perform in the Ukraine and we were looking forward to the show, but after investigating the local situation and talking to our national government, we had to take the decision not to play at this time, but to move our show to March 31st, 2015.

As you can imagine, a Within Temptation show isn’t a 6-piece production. We have many people with us who make sure our show looks and sounds like a Within Temptation show should sound, all in all a traveling group of at least 20 people. Being able to perform and travel safely is very important to us, not only for ourselves but especially for our loyal fans who sometimes travel many kilometers to attend our shows.

This is why we had to make this unfortunate decision. As mentioned, the new date of the show is March 31st, 2015. All tickets that were purchased for the show on October 30th are valid for the new date. What is for sure is that the anticipation from the band to play the concert is bigger than ever before. We are personally following the developments in the Ukraine on a daily basis for months now. Despite all the uncertainties there are one thing that is certain… We WILL play in Kiev just as much as we know that that it will also be a memorable gig for all of us. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, we all are looking forward to see you all in Kiev again soon!

All the best and warm regards,

Sharon, Ruud, Stefan, Mike, Martijn and Jeroen

We are happy to announce that our new live DVD/Blu-ray/CD “Let Us Burn” is out now! We managed to get 2 concerts on 1 DVD, the Elements concert which featured a full orchestra and choir, and this year’s Hydra-show in Amsterdam!

We are very proud of this release as it shows many sides of us as a band. The video and audio footage looks and sounds amazing and we hope you feel the same way! Our US fans have to wait a few more days, but we can tell it’s definitely worth the wait! :)

We have just announced a new show for our seated tour in March and April 2015. Apart from Holland we will also be doing a special show at the Rockhal in Luxembourg (L) on March 5th 2015!

Tickets have just gone on sale and since we’re putting seats in the venue there will be less tickets available than usual, so make sure not to wait too long.

It looks like this will be our only show outside of Holland for our seated tour, but fortunately we will be playing in cities pretty accessible to most other countries, so make sure to check out our tourpage for more dates. If you have any questions or problems with buying tickets, make sure to post your comments so we can help you out. See you there!

Great news! Thanks to your vote Sharon has won a Loudwire Music Award as Rock Goddess of the Year!

The post quotes: “It’s all come full circle, as Within Temptation vocalist Sharon den Adel has been voted as the 2014 Rock Goddess of the Year in the 4th Annual Loudwire Music Awards. The singer previously won the honor in the category’s first year back in 2011.

The vocalist was pretty prominent in 2014 as Within Temptation hit the road in support of the ‘Hydra’ album. As usual, the singer belted with the best of them and held up her end of duets with former Killswitch Engage frontman Howard Jones, Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner, My Ruin’s Tarja Turunen and even rapper Xzibit. In addition, fans were treated to a live album — ‘Let Us Burn — Elements & Hydra Live in Concert,’ which showcased her vocal talents.

Sharon den Adel took the honor by a fairly wide margin, with last year’s winner, In This Moment’s Maria Brink, finishing second and Halestorm’s Lizzy Hale and Lacuna Coil’s Cristina Scabbia also putting up solid voting totals.
Congrats to Within Temptation’s Sharon den Adel, winner of the 2014 Rock Goddess of the Year in the 4th Annual Loudwire Music Awards. And catch the band on tour at these stops.”

Tonight was the second night of Within Temptation’s Hydra Theatre tour which started a few nights earlier in Almere.  As with previous theatre tours, the only dates are in the Netherlands – partly due to the fact the tours require a proper theatre rather than standard music venue. Why? Well that’s all down to the setup they have. At the back of the stage is a video screen, but behind the band, and well forward of the screen is another screen – this time see-through. As the show begins, the reason for this becomes clear. Smoke forms before morphing into an orchestra sat on a balcony above and behind the band. These aren’t static images though – it’s video that is timed to perfection – as the drummers with the orchestra strike their drums it coincides with the real drum strokes of Within Temptation’s drummer. There are two live musicians on the balcony too – a violinist and a cellist, and at times it’s hard to tell the real musicians from the video ones – this show really does blend fantasy and reality together.  The show is split into two fifty minute sets plus an interval.

Unlike previous theatre tours which were largely acoustic, this is a full on electric performance – albeit with a few acoustic songs.  The band are really fired up and they all give it everything they’ve got – the two guitarists in particular race around the stage, headbang furiously and generally rock as hard as possible.
Sharon too gives it everything as she moves around the stage, spins or jumps, but at other times she’s more still – all depending on what works for the mood of the song.  She changes costumes several times during the show but there’s so much going on that it never slows the performance.  Sharon also “interacts” with the projections – stands behind the clear screen as she duets with a singer on the screen (Anneke van Giersbergen) and even touches hands with her (some extremely accurate positioning there), and in another part of the show, throws her arms down which causes spouts of water to fly up around her on the screen. It’s stunningly well done.

Ignoring the visuals, this was a superb show – Within Temptation were in great form and the use of a violin and cello sounded great. The setlist was packed with their hits with only a few songs from Hydra. I’d expected the setlist to be far more heavily weighted towards the Hydra material since this is the Hydra theatre tour, but I certainly wasn’t disappointed by what they chose to play.
The visuals though took it to another level and at times had a really effective 3D look. Visually it’s got to be in my top five gigs of all time if not the top two. They do a fantastic job of blurring the line between what’s real and what’s virtual.

The Cross
Hand of Sorrow
Shot in the Dark
And We Run
The Heart of Everything
Towards the End

Entrevista con Sharon de WITHIN TEMPTATION antes de LEYENDAS DEL ROCK
 Entrevistamos a la vocalista de WITHIN TEMPTATION, Sharon den Adel, quien nos cuenta detalles sobre como será su próxima actuación en el festival LEYENDAS DEL ROCK, en agosto, como está funcionando el tour, como será su futuro… Esta es la charla:
- Hola Sharon, aunque el motivo principal de la entrevista es hablar sobre vuestra próxima participación en agosto en el festival LEYENDAS DEL ROCK, hablaremos de otras cosas. Será la primera vez que toquíéis en este festival, pero ya lo habíéis hecho en España en repetidas ocasiones, siempre con gran íéxito. ¿Quíé supone España y el público español para vosotros?
Sharon.- El público español tiene mucho fuego, y es algo que nos gusta mucho. La gente es muy expresiva y la fiesta empieza antes de que pisemos el escenario. Están muy metidos en la música y se involucran mucho en el concierto. Es la mejor interactuación que puedas tener y tengo muchas ganas de volver.
 WITHIN TEMPTATION- Estáis en plena tour por los Paí­ses Bajos y habíéis tocado recientemente en Ucrania, ¿quíé tal este tramo de gira?
Sharon.- El concierto en Ucrania era una especie de compromiso porque se suponí­a que í­bamos a tocar allí­ hace un año pero al final no pudimos por la guerra y los problemas que tienen con Rusia, así­ que lo hemos hecho hace poco. De hecho cancelamos dos veces nuestra actuación en Ucrania por el mismo motivo. La verdad es que no síé quíé pasó, pero cuando se programó el concierto la primera vez í­bamos a tocar para 2.000 personas y al final lo hemos hecho para 4.000. Al final vino mucha más gente de la que esperábamos y estuvo muy bien, el promotor nos comentó que íéramos la única banda que tocaba en Ucrania en aquel momento porque los grupos no quieren tocar. Posí­blemente pasará tiempo hasta que pase otra gira porque actualmente es un riesgo visitar el paí­s. Es una pena que tengan esa situación, aparte de la música, afecta mucho a la economí­a, un iPhone 5 por ejemplo costaba 1.200 euros, una barbaridad la verdad.
- Posteriormente, a partir de mediado de mayo, pasaríéis por muchos más paí­ses y festivales… ¿Interpretaríéis similares repertorios a los de los conciertos holandeses?
Sharon.- No, en Holanda hemos hecho conciertos en teatros y hemos utilizado proyectores y cosas así­. Necesitarí­amos el ambiente y las caracterí­sticas de un teatro para hacer el mismo tipo de espectáculo.
No obstante hay canciones que tocamos siempre, aunque tambiíén disfrutamos cambiando el repertorio, así­ podemos sorprender a los fans. Tambiíén tenemos muchos discos entre los que elegir y nos gusta probar temas diferentes.
- ¿En un festival como LEYENDAS DEL ROCK veremos a WITHIN TEMPTATION en su plenitud, con montaje escíénico, pantallas, etc.?
Sharon.- Podremos hacer un concierto especial si tenemos todas las cosas que utilizamos en el escenario para ese tipo de actuaciones, efectos, fuegos, etc., pero dependerá si volamos directamente al festival o si llevamos el camión completo, y eso todaví­a no lo sabemos.
En cualquier caso estoy segura de que será un gran concierto.
- ¿Y, veremos a Robert en directo en el tour?
Sharon.- Me encantarí­a que viniera, pero llevamos a otro guitarrista, Stefan Helleblad de Suecia. Robert solo viene para estar de vacaciones (risas), o para suplir a alguien cuando no puede venir por lo que sea. Me encantarí­a que viniera, sobre todo a España.
- Vuestro último lanzamiento fue en directo: “Let Us Burn – Elements & Hydra Live In Concert” y fue editado el 14 de noviembre en Europa, y vuestro anterior disco en estudio “Hydra” salió en enero de 2.014. Ya toca pensar en un nuevo álbum, ¿no? De hecho nos llegaron noticias el pasado junio que ya estabais componiendo material. ¿Quíé nos puedes contar al respecto?
 WITHIN TEMPTATIONSharon.- Bueno estamos mirando algunas cosas, pero todaví­a no nos hemos puesto totalmente en serio. No estamos seguros de la dirección que tomaremos para el próximo trabajo, simplemente estamos tocando y mirando que podemos utilizar. Cada uno está componiendo material por su parte, y hay algunas cosas que podrí­an encajar en WITHIN TEMPTATION, pero todaví­a tenemos que concretar que suena de verdad a la banda.
- La idea para comenzar a grabar ¿cuál es? ¿Y fechas de lanzamiento para un nuevo CD?
Sharon.- No hemos hablado de esas cosas para nada, no estamos en ese punto ni de lejos. Nos lo vamos a tomar con calma, hemos pasado mucho tiempo girando y queremos tomarnos nuestro tiempo. La calidad es lo más importante, si sacas un mal disco puedes desaparecer del mapa en un minuto, por lo que preferimos esperar un año y sacar un buen trabajo, a correr y editar un disco de mierda. 
Queremos recompensar a la gente que escucha nuestra música por el tiempo que esperan por ella, hay que sacar una obra que estíé a la altura.
- Me imagino que la lí­nea musical no variará mucho de la que estáis mostrando en los últimos lanzamientos, ¿no? ¿Será una continuación de “Hydra” o será más en onda "The Unforgiving"?
Sharon.- No tenemos todaví­a nada claro, pero yo creo que volverá a ser muy orquestal y sinfónico, aunque de forma distinta porque tambiíén me da que va a ser más moderno, más como una banda sonora.
- ¿Habrá  algún concepto para el disco?
Sharon.- De nuevo es pronto para saberlo. En su momento nos gustó el concepto de “The Unforgiving”, en ocasiones es sencillo escribir letras basadas en un concepto porque tienes un marco sólido, pero no siempre es así­. Tambiíén nos gustó mucho “Hydra” y es un disco muy diferente a “The Unforgiving”, pero son cosas que se saben en el momento.
A mí­ me gustan ambos trabajos, es el tipo de música que me gusta escuchar en otros grupos, pero para el próximo no puedo decir hacia donde nos dirigiremos, creo que será orquestal pero de una forma más actualizada.
- Cambiando de tema. He visto en vuestra web que publicáis  un topic semanal eligiendo a “el fan de la semana”. ¿Cómo surgió la idea?
Sharon.- Se trata de poder mostrar quien y como son nuestros fans, y que se puedan poner en contacto entre ellos. Por ejemplo cuando hay fans holandeses que quieren vernos en otros paí­ses, pueden contactar con gente de esos sitios para que les ayuden a conseguir entradas, sitios para dormir, etc.
Se trata de hacer las cosas un poco más visibles y ayudar a que la gente conecte.  WITHIN TEMPTATION
- WITHIN TEMPTATION han editado ya 7 discos y lleváis casi 20 años activos, ¿cómo ves la carrera del grupo hasta ahora? ¿Estáis contentos con lo que habíéis conseguido?
Sharon.- Personalmente, yo estoy muy contenta con lo que hemos conseguido. La gente me pregunta que es lo que quiero, pero creo que no se trata de lo que quiera, si no de que ahora mismo hemos conseguido mucho más de lo que esperábamos. Hacer un nuevo disco en el que la gente tenga interíés, y que sigan viniendo a nuestros conciertos despuíés de tantos años son los mejores halagos. Eso es lo que nos hace seguir haciendo esta música, si la gente deja de venir a vernos, y deja de comprar nuestros discos, no podremos continuar haciíéndolo.
Dicho esto, no veo el final cerca, nos lo estamos pasando demasiado bien para parar, y creo que WITHIN TEMPTATION seguirá unos cuantos años más.

- A colación del vigíésimo aniversario, ¿teníéis algún plan especial? ¿Habíéis pensado en celebraciones de algún tipo?

Sharon.- La verdad es que todaví­a no, pero seguro que haremos algo. Lo que pasa es que igual es a los 21 años en lugar de a los 20 (risas). Es posible que coincida con un nuevo disco, no síé, depende de como vayan yendo las cosas.
Uno de nuestros mayores sueños es hacer una gira sinfónica por varios paí­ses contando con orquestas locales para acompañarnos en el escenario. Tambiíén llevarí­amos músicos invitados, tocarí­amos “Black Symphony” y temas nuevos, es una idea. Estarí­a muy, muy bien y es posible que algún dí­a suceda. El problema es que requiere un esfuerzo económico importante y es una aventura arriesgada, además de necesitar una gran planificación, así­ que ya veremos.

- Para terminar, por favor, despide tu misma la entrevista.

Sharon.- Decirles a todos nuestros fans que sigan siendo como son, abiertos, puros, y llenos de fuego y expresividad. Tenemos muchas ganas de volver a España y veros a todos otra vez. Nos vemos en breve.

OFF TO GERMANY
This week we are heading over to our neighbours to play two fantastic shows at locations that could not be much more diverse. We will start of at the legendary Wacken festival; probably the craziest and wildest metal festival in Europe! Everyone who was able to get a ticket, enjoy - it will be great! The next day we will be travelling to the east of Germany to play a very special gig at the Wasserschloss Klaffenbach , an old water castle with a beautiful renaissance courtyard - goose bumps included!

WITHIN TEMPTATION Might Go 'A Little More Orchestral Again' On Next Album
 
Jí¤germeister conducted an interview with guitarist Ruud Jolie of Dutch symphonic rockers WITHIN TEMPTATION at this year's Bloodstock Open Air, which is being held August 6-9 at Catton Park, Derbyshire, United Kingdom. You can now watch the chat below.
 
On where WITHIN TEMPTATION will go, musically, on the follow-up to last year's "Hydra":
 
"That is always a very interesting question. In the past, we always had some idea where we would go, but with the last two albums, it was just, you know: 'Let all the ideas come and see wherever it would take us.' And I guess that's something that we're gonna… the same approach we're gonna do now with the next album. So I don't know yet. I think it's… That's what I heard… that the ideas were gonna be a little more orchestral again. But you never know."
 
On whether WITHIN TEMPTATION is even thinking about a new album already:
 
"Yeah, yeah. Yes. We're definitely thinking about it. [But] we're gonna start [writing] after these summer festivals."
 
On whether WITHIN TEMPTATION tries to keep the fans happy with each album while also staying true to the band's sound:
 
"I think that the most important thing is that we keep being true to ourselves. Because if you compare the very first album, [1997's] 'Enter' album, the album on which I didn't even play back then, and this latest album, 'Hydra', it's completely different — it's completely different. So I'm sure that we lost a lot of fans from that era, but we gained a lot of new fans with this album. And, for us, it's really important to keep evolving. We're not the type of band that has found one formula and keeps on expanding that formula, like AC/DC or whatever. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but we're not that type of band. And I think it's inevitable that you lose some people here and there."
 
WITHIN TEMPTATION released a new live DVD/Blu-ray/2CD, "Let Us Burn - Elements & Hydra Live In Concert", on November 14, 2014. The set features two of WITHIN TEMPTATION's most-talked-about arena shows ever. The two dates are 2012's resplendent 15th birthday "Elements" concert and the final night of the "Hydra" European arena tour at Amsterdam's Heineken Music Hall in May 2014.
 
"Let Us Burn - Elements & Hydra Live In Concert" was released in four formats — DVD + 2CD, Blu-ray + 2CD, 2CD, and digital album. The DVD and Blu-ray contain 34 live audio visual tracks in HD, mixed in 5.1 Dolby Surround. The 2CD and digital album comprise 32 live audio tracks. The two shows have a running time total of approximately 170 minutes.

We’ve had an amazing year so far with dozens of shows, we have a tour in Russia and Belarus coming up next week, but we felt we should add 1 more show to close the year in a new way ;-).

On Sunday December 20th we will be performing at the newly rebuilt 013 in Tilburg, The Netherlands, right before the Christmas holidays start. You don’t have to expect the usual bells and Christmas carols, we’re doing this a different way: Black X-mas! Ghosts, skeletons, zombies, witches and other dark creatures are better examples of this unusual Christmas show and we want you to be a part of it! Get your tickets, dress up as a “Dark Creature” and join us to celebrate the Christmas holidays WT-style!

Tickets went on sale a few minutes ago through this link! Check our website for more information about the show, travel and hotel options.

Ho, ho, ho!

Ho, ho, ho Dragons!

WOW! Your reactions to the announcement of our brand new Black X-mas were overwhelming and the ticket demand was even crazier! Our show on December 20th sold out in less than a week, amazing! There are fans coming from the US, UK, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Greece, even Lithuania (and I’m sure we’re forgetting a few)!

Luckily we were able to add 1 night at the 013 on December 21st and it just went on sale a few minutes ago! We are only doing 2 Black X-mas shows, so no other shows will be added.

Ghosts, skeletons, zombies, witches and other dark creatures are better examples of this unusual Christmas show and we want you to be a part of it! Get your tickets, dress up as a “Dark Creature” and join us to celebrate the Christmas holidays WT-style!

SHARON DEN ADEL ON NEW AVANTASIA ALBUM

We've come full circle: Within Temptation's Sharon Den Adel is back! It was spring 2000 when someone played me a song featuring an amazing vocalist called Sharon Den Adel. I had just begun to work on what was to become the first Avantasia album "The Metal Opera". I contacted Sharon who was really cool and after listening to the song "Farewell" she agreed on singing a role on "The Metal Opera". She turned Farewell into a magical tune, and after the vocal session she sent me a letter - which I still have - saying "If you ever need me again you know where to find me!"

Now, 15 years later I took her up on the offer dating back to the year 2000. Emoticón smile I had this tune that was just right for Sharon, and she listened, and she liked it, and she agreed! And I am soooo grateful that she is back in Avantasia! You will hear it when 'Ghostlights' hits the stores on January 29! Sharon has such a wonderful distinctive voice, very emotional, beautiful, technical, she is so unique, and I am extremely happy that our paths have crossed once again! Sharon, ik dank u wel! You rock! - Tobi

Within Temptation does agree with the weather forecasters, because accordig to them we will not get a white Christmas. So, under the dominator of ´Black X-mas´, this symphonic metal formatiom will perform two special shows at the 013 venue in Tilburg. Providing these dark days before Christmas with some proper music relief. After the first concert was sold out within a few days, this band, centred around singer Sharon den Adel, decided to throw in a second show the next evening.
 
Fans are already waiting for hours in a quite cosy queue. Despite that winter has almost begun, it´s pleasant to be there with record temperatures over 10 degrees. Everyone is excited and wonder what these concerts will be like. Not only is it going to be a remarkable gig because of the suspected ´dark´ elements of the show, but there is a dresscode as well. WT asked for a ´Dark Creatures´ kind of dressing from their fans. And looking around the queue, the fans have responded with great enthousiasme to this request. All kind of weird and scary creatures are walking around: zombies, elfs, witches, skeletons, a group of friends with black Christmas hats, a Santa wearing a death mask and there is Papa Emiritus look-a-like as well.
Despite the long queue, once the doors are open, the very international fans (even fans from Zambia) are streaming inside, also possible because there is no checking. There are details for the theme outside as well as inside: outside a carriage rides along the queue, inside there are zombies, a grave and a green dressed elf serving absinth from a stall. The photobooth is another well thought out feature.
Once inside, the venue is very crowded and it´s not easy to find a good spot. Also the balconies are sold out. One of the better options for die-hard fans who don´t want to miss anything are the wide stairs at the back of this 013 venue.
 
This Black X-mas concert starts with a an intro where a short story is told:
A girl asks her mother: ´Who is that mommy?´, pointing at a picture at the wall.
The mother replies: ´That was your great-great-great-grandmother. She used to be a very good singer´.
The girl then asks: ´Can I hear one of her songs?´.
The mother plays some music on which Sharon sings. Sitting next to the Christmas tree, the girl wonders: ´I wish she was still here!´.
 
Next, all of the band members enter the podium to start off ´The Dance´ (the oldest, but one, song of this gig-1998). It´s a very well chosen song for this dark concert concept. There´s so much going on and you need more than one pair of eyes to see what everybody´s wearing and what masks they have. Their visagists have done really an outstanding job!
On both sides of the podium, there are musicians playing tenordrums. For ´The Heart Of Everything´, a violinist and a cellist play along. They wear make-up as well and gorgeous costumes. There is a lot of attention to details. For example the head of the cello has been changed into a skull´s head mask.
 

At the start the soundmixer is still looking for the right set-up. During ´The Dance´ the sound doesn´t match that nice with the grunts of Robert Westerholt. And Sharon makes quite a few gestures with her hand behind her back to adapt the the volume to the right standard. Though the sound engineers have to improve the sound quite a lot, they do succeed pretty fast in doing that. The drums and guitars get more volume, but it is apparently difficult to get the sound for the cello and violin right, apart for the quieter parts where they sound beautiful.
Although there was already some enthousiastic clapping during ´The Dance´, the atmosphere increases to a pleasant level when ´The Heart Of Everything´ and ´Covered By Roses´ are played. These energetic songs get a lot of approval, not only from the front fans, but from all stands, including the balconies where a couple of foreign fanclubs are seated, including flags.
During ´Covered By Roses´, Sharon takes off her headgear, Ruud Jolie plays a solo and an orchestra in hologrammes appears behind the podium on a platform  This projection will be well known to people who visited WT´s Theater-On-Fire-tour, earlier this year. It´s a pity that the percussionists don´t have a good timing and sometimes play something else than is heard On their own, the dimensional projections are very beautiful, especially the way musicians appear and disappear in clouds of smoke. During ´The Truth Beneath The Rose´there is also a nice projection of dimensional images.
 
After ´Covered By Roses´, the band play a few more relaxed songs with ´Caged´ and ´Candles´ (the only song from Enter). The piano playing part of the last song is especially wondeful. ´Jillian´ is the start of a very convincing part with a lot more use of the lighting. Also part of this part are ´Paradise´ (with video projection and pyro´s) and ´Stand My Ground´.
Sharon stands on a higher platform during some songs. She appears to have a little cold, because her voice sounds a little hoarse now and then, but apart from a few little mistakes, it´s no problem to enjoy her singing at all. Proof of that she delivers while singing the high note at the end of  ´Jillian´, and the same goes for ´Angels´ and ´Forgiven´. She´s pretty active as usual, encourages fans to participate and receives flowers and even a painting while singing.
 
After ´And We Run´ (with Xzibit on the screen) it´s time for a big surprise. Fans wonder what song it is when ´Black Sabbath´ is started. Not everyone knows this song, but WT´s rendition of Black Sabbath´s classic is very impressive! The sound is brilliant (the cello and keyboard parts are well mixed) and the presentation with the burning crosses improve the atmosphere even more. Within Temptation can be very proud of their epic rendition. These magical moments are followed by a funny moment when ´Hand Of Sorrow´ is stopped after 5 seconds, due to technical problems. Sharon wonders ´What´s up?´, but the problem is quickly solved. 
 
There are two surprises with two covers of ´The Power Of Love´ (Frankis Goes To Hollywood) and Michael Jackson´s ´Thriller´. Both songs receive mixed reactions from the fans. For me, the quiet part and refrain of the first song were strong, while ´Thriller´ was better presented than the musical arrangement was. During the last song a full moon was shown on a screen, skeletons were dancing and zombies appear on the podium. The same zombies that freaked out some fans at the entrance!!
 
´Mother Earth´ is the very convincing closing song of the regular setlist and after those last notes all band members disappear from the podium for a couple of minutes, only to return for the encores. The first ´added´ song is ´Somewhere´, in which Anneke appears as a hologram on the first floor. A pity, because the real  Anneke is not that far away, recording her duet with Petter Carlsen. The crowd sings softly along with this ballad, but this totally changes with ´Ice Queen´.
Everybody sings and screams their lungs out of their body. A perfect end it is, or isn´t it? No, there is one more surprise: the merry ´Gothic Christmas´ with Ivar de Graaf on guitar and vocals. Ivar was WT´s drummer from 1996 till 2002 , then left and founded his own band Kingfisher Sky. He also played at the Java-Island and the Elements concerts and had just returned from playing in Finland.
 
It was a very nice evening with a lot of attention for details and show elements. The dresscode also increased the general atmosphere a lot and Sharon thanked everybody for doing it. Despite the sound not being great at the start, most fans went home very satisfied. There were surprises in the setlist (covers and ´Gothic Christmas´ played live for the first time), so in my opinion it was a succesful and atmospheric event to start the Christmas holidays.

Dutch symphonic rockers WITHIN TEMPTATION took part in a press conference on June 18 at Hellfest in Clisson, France. You can now watch the question-and-answer session below.

Asked when fans can expect to see the follow-up to WITHIN TEMPTATION's sixth studio album, "Hydra", which came out in January 2014, frontwoman Sharon Den Adel said: "At the moment, we have started [the songwriting process], but we're not that far yet; there's no release date yet."

Regarding a possible concept or special lyrical theme that will be covered on the upcoming WITHIN TEMPTATION album, Sharon said: "We always try to find some kind of angle that makes this album different towards the other ones. Like last time, we had a lot of guest appearances and the comics before that one [2011's 'The Unforgiving']. We'll come with something new again. We have several options, but we're not definite on that yet. It's all part of the big surprise, of course, also."

Former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen joined WITHIN TEMPTATION on stage at Hellfest to perform the song "Paradise (What About Us?)".

The studio version of "Paradise (What About Us?)" — also featuring Tarja — can be found on "Hydra".

Sharon previously stated about the band's collaboration with Turunen: "When we had written the first version of 'Paradise' and listened back to the demo we'd recorded and the epic power of the song, we thought of Tarja instantly. How well this track would fit her classical voice and how extra special it would be if we sang it together. The more we thought about this wild idea, the more excited we got about it!"

We're very excited to announce that we will be touring in 2018! The tour will take us to 33 cities in 18 countries, including a few where we haven't been in a while!
Tickets are on sale now via www.within-temptation.com!
This run of dates ends the longest break we have ever taken from touring. Sharon den Adel explains, “When our last tour finished, I was having a rough time. I realized I needed take some time out with my family to deal with things and to rediscover myself. It took much longer than expected, but 2 years on, things have changed for the better. I created my solo album (“My Indigo”) which helped me deal with my issues. And afterwards I suddenly found myself with an aching hunger again for more heavy, epic music. Then the music started to come by itself. I knew for sure that our seventh album was coming after all.
So here we are... presenting our seventh tour and luckily it’s not going to take so long anymore because we are all more than impatient to get out there again!”
General presale for the tour will start on Friday November 24th, but for YOU we've set up an exclusive pre-order campaign through our website! Join our new fanclub for free to get access to tickets for almost all the dates! Check:

Within Temptation will release their new studio album Resist on December 14, via Spinefarm Records.

As revealed exclusively in the new issue of Metal Hammer, Dutch symphonic metal supremos Within Temptation are returning with their seventh album this winter following months of turmoil and uncertainty within the band.

Speaking about the record itself, vocalist Sharon Den Adel says the band have taken inspiration from modern music, but given it a "dark" face.

“Sometimes it feels that today’s pop music lacks a rebellious edge. Our main goal was to collect pieces from sounds we did like then roughen the whole thing up as much as we could, allowing us to shape a new musical world that is heavier, dirtier and more futuristic than we’ve ever created before. Resist is our new take on metal; our way of giving a fresh lease of life to the rebellious edge of modern music.”

Resist is also the band's first release through Spinefarm Records, signing a worldwide deal with Universal Music Germany.

"We are beyond excited to have signed to the biggest record label," says Sharon. "Combining our strength with such a thriving, forward-looking force in the music industry, we are sure that we can make magic happen.”

Pick up the latest issue of Metal Hammer now for a world exclusive interview and the full story behind Resist and how the band fought their way back from the brink of implosion.

urprise, surprise! This week we are not only releasing one, but TWO brand new singles from our forthcoming album RESIST!

But all that glitters is not gold: we are forced to postpone the release of the album due to production problems. Since we are very sorry about this, we want to give the fans something back: an extra single out this Friday, 'Firelight'!

RESIST is now scheduled for release on February 1st, 2019.
Raise Your Banner

This Friday we've released our brand new single ‘Raise Your Banner’ and ever since the track has received hundred thousands of streams. We are super excited that Anders Fridén from In Flames has taken this track to a next level. We've always felt a strong connection with In Flames because of the same musical metal birth ground we share.

- Listen on Spotify
- Listen on Apple Music
- Listen on Amazon Music
- Check out the lyric video on YouTube
But that's not all.. A SECOND single is coming!
A dark Christmas duet

But there’s more... An extra single will drop THIS Friday! The track is called ‘Firelight’ and features Belgium’s most famous alternative rock singer Jasper Steverlinck. It was originally written for My Indigo, but the track felt too dark back then. However, it was and still is one of our favorite songs, even more now Jasper is featured on it. We think he’s one of the best alternative rock singers in the world. He’s Belgium’s best kept secret!

Firelight will be out this Friday.

It’s been four long years since the release of their last album “Hydra”, and now with the imminent unleashing of their powerful seventh studio album “Resist”, symphonic metal heavyweights Within Temptation are returning to prominence with a vengeance. “Resist” has been described by the band as their saving grace, marking a significant turning point in the iconic six-piece’s career and the development of their sound into something “heavier, dirtier and darker” than ever before. Within Temptation’s renewed vigour is evident throughout the ten anthemic tracks in “Resist” – the quintessential catchy choruses are a staple, the band’s recently favoured 80s flavour pulsates through sultry synths, and the cinematic melodic soundscape the band are so renowned for is well and truly dialled up to eleven in this modern masterpiece. Now two single drops in, and partway through a mammoth European tour, the divine Sharon den Adel sat down with us to chat about “Resist”, freedom in the digital age and pushing the boundaries of the metal genre as we know it.

 

Hi Sharon! I’ve been a huge fan of WT for many years now, so it’s a real privilege to talk to you!

 

Hi, thanks very much!

 

So, your new album “Resist” – I’ve just listened to it, it’s such a powerful album! Something I found really interesting that you said about it was that you wanted to give pop music the rebellious edge you feel that it needs. Would you be able to elaborate on that further?

 

Well, I think that what we actually meant by that was that we were inspired by, in this case, a more urban kind of music. I think it’s a scene that has a lot of musical elements going on - the urban scene has been around for a long time now, and in the last few years has been inspiring a lot of types of music genres, and it sounds just very modern when you combine urban kind of elements into other music genres, and so did we [in Resist]. It just made some songs like “Holy Ground”, for instance, and “Endless War” a little bit more groovy, you know? Like, we were never a groovy band, and your rhythm starts to change. So, it’s more like, we used these elements, not just musically but also in production; we did it not only with orchestration but also with the heavy guitars, you know, those layers of music, and it becomes Within Temptation but then sounding modern and more 2018!

 

It’s a combination that just worked for the music we are making, and it sounds more updated because of that. So it’s not like we’re trying to give one type of music value over another, but we find pop music in general too light for us, so when you put our layers of heavy music together with that, it becomes more edgy, and that’s what we meant by that.

 

WT has undergone a remarkable evolution in your core sound over the years, and you’ve demonstrated incredible stylistic diversity through your discography. Tell us about WT’s creative process behind Resist, and the songwriting process.

 

Well, it all kind of started with “My Indigo”, which was my solo project. There was a lot of time between the previous album “Hydra” and this one, and this was because of the fact that I had a writer’s block – well, not just me, it was actually everyone who was writing for Within Temptation. But for me, there were also a lot of other things going on - my dad got really sick, and I wanted to have a bit of a reflection on what I wanted to do for the next twenty years that I might be in the band. For me, my whole adult life I’ve been in Within Temptation, and so I hadn’t had any other things besides that. My life has always been a certain way, quite different from family and from friends – you know, everybody has their normal jobs, and they go home for the weekend! And I have a family too, you know.

 

So with “My Indigo”, I was inspired by a lot of urban stuff to write “My Indigo”, which is totally different. It was more soul-searching, and eventually I did come to the conclusion that I wanted to continue with Within Temptation after a certain amount of time where I wasn’t sure that I wanted to. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to come back to Within Temptation because I didn’t feel it anymore, and I wanted to do something totally different. But because of “My Indigo”, I realised that there is a way to write for Within Temptation if there is another crossover again with this urban kind of feel to it. So that has been the new way for Within Temptation, and our new album has been inspired a lot by that kind of music, because we as a metal/rock band combining elements from another scene which makes it more modern.

 

As for how we start with writing songs, what we’ve always done before is we start with guitar or piano or a song base, so in the end you can strip down the song to play it by a campfire or even on the beach with just a guitar! You can play all of our songs on just a guitar or the piano – it’s not difficult, you just go back to the basics. That’s how we’ve always started, and we didn’t change that way of writing. The bands that we like, also, are more song-based bands. I do like Pink Floyd because they’re brilliant at it. You also have bands who are just making atmosphere, there’s no real chorus – it’s just atmosphere, which is also cool, but we have always been a band that you really have to be able to play every song on a guitar or on keyboard or piano.

 

 

There seems to be some really strong symbolism in the themes of Resist, surrounding questions of personal freedom in a dystopian future. What were some of your thematic inspirations for this album?

 

Well I grew up in a time when we still had, you know, Commodore Sixty-Fours and floppy disks, it was a long time back! The days of the first game computer, more or less, I guess, and I never thought that internet or social media would ever be the way it is today. Those kinds of things just grew gradually, and I think that that is very beautiful because we have a lot of benefits because of it, you know, life has become a lot easier because of this, but on the other hand, there’s a different side to it. I think we’re losing our anonymity, and I think our privacy laws should be better for individuals, and of course I think it’s very important these days when we have a lot of terrorist attacks that the government can trace and track down where people are, but it goes a bit too far in my opinion.

 

I think that if I was living in a different country where there is no democracy, and things get into the wrong hands, if you have a different opinion, then your government shouldn’t be able to do everything they want with it. If this was Second World War happening now in Europe, with this technology everyone with a different mind, colour or race that [the government] didn’t like, they would be able to easily track and trace. This is of course a very heavy comparison, but it is something that is possible, you know, because we have facial recognition and everything now. You know, your DNA is out there, and it’s dangerous in my opinion. I think there should be better laws to protect citizens, because you know now we’re living in a peaceful time, but when it’s not a peaceful time or if you’re in countries where it isn’t peaceful – like there are many countries in this world where having your own opinion is not a right, apparently – so it’s dangerous with this kind of technology. I wouldn’t want to live in those countries in this time.

 

I also think that we don’t realise when we’re just going about our busy lives, what we’re giving away, like even when you’re going to a [web]site, you have cookies that you have to accept to be able to read anything, but you don’t really know what you’re exactly giving away. So that’s why on our website, you also have to accept cookies, but then we show you also what we get to know. We do it deliberately, because we want to show you what you’re giving away for free, and we can see your postal address. So with Google Maps, I can even see where you’re living! That, I think is pretty dangerous, I don’t think anyone should be able to know where I live!

 

Although, on the other hand, people just write on the internet all the crap that they do sometimes, without thinking or without doing some kind of research of what they’re talking about, it’s just based on half information, which is also dangerous. For me, I think for the worst case scenario, for those kinds of situations, we should have better laws. And for us, it’s more like an inspiration, so it’s not like we have these conspiracy theories going on or anything, it’s more like trying to talk about these things and maybe for a little awareness. But for interviews, you know, I can still tell and inform a little bit, just planting a seed in their heads, like maybe just think about these things before you go to a site, before you leave your messages and everything. Also the thing is that you can’t erase easily your messages on the internet – there’s always some kind of data somewhere, and those are also dangers, I think. Because people can make mistakes, or they can change their minds, or they did something in an angry mood, and people should be protected somehow.

What I also find difficult is that algorithms are also choosing for you what you’re going to get to see on the internet, like if I go to a certain site, and I’m interested in going on a holiday to Cuba, for instance, and the next year I get messages from the same company related to Cuba. Also when I’m talking to my friend and the TV picks it up, and I’m talking about, I don’t know, tennis courts, I get all this information about tennis courts in the area and stuff like that. I don’t want anyone listening along when I’m having conversations and when my telephone is off, actually. It’s like I’m never alone, you know, I can never have a conversation without something in the back always being there – like Big Brother is watching you the whole time. But these kinds of things just happen now, and that’s the inspiration for us [for Resist].

 

Wow, those are some really powerful thoughts and themes to have for the new record!

 

Thank you! And yeah, I wanted to add that you know, freedom was never something that we got for free. That’s also what these songs are about, like okay, you know, you have to fight for your freedom. You don’t want to necessarily pick up arms or anything like that, but [freedom] never came for free and we should protect what other people gave their lives for. Freedom is something that we shouldn’t give away for free without paying attention – we have to be careful what we might lose in the end.

 

 

Now, you’ve just dropped the official music video for Raise Your Banner! It is absolutely incredible, and aesthetically, it really emulates the dark subject matter of the track. Tell us about the video and the production experience!

 

Well, the video was done in Amsterdam in a loft, and many fans joined for the video. So all the men who are in suits – the bad guys, actually! – a lot of them are fans, and the protesters on our side are also some fans. The idea behind the video is how human are humans, you know, like how much are we programmed to do certain things just being the way we are already; what are we creating also, in our own image? Like, trying to make computers look like us, and for what purpose also, how far do you go?

 

And that definitely translates in the video, it’s amazing! So changing the subject a bit now – you’re an exceptionally talented and renowned vocalist, perhaps you could give the aspiring vocalists a few tips. What are some of the measures you take to ensure you stay in optimum vocal health throughout long, intense touring schedules?

 

Well it’s quite boring actually! I really have to get my sleep – sleep is the most important thing that I need, a minimum of eight hours! I know this sounds so not rock and roll, but sometimes I have four shows in a row, and that’s like 1.5 hours of singing and talking to an audience, and on the same day I also have interviews, so I’m talking a lot and singing a lot on a day like that. So those eight hours at least are very important. Besides that, it’s very important to relax also, so sometimes sport, sometimes I have a walk through the city, see something of the city that you’re in because that’s something you can also use again when you’re on stage talking to the audience, and it’s nice to have experiences, to see where they came from, and to know where you’re actually at instead of stating the wrong city names to the audience! But it happens sometimes, and I can imagine that it happens to some people, but there is a way to go about it to make sure that doesn’t happen.

 

And another thing for your voice that is also important to me is that I’m a big fan of ginger. I use ginger in big chunks the whole day through – I use it in smoothies, as a tea - I use it through the garlic press, I put it in hot water, and that’s the most intense way of having the ginger come out of the tea, because then it will get all these juices blending with the water, and it’s just really hot like pepper. It really takes away a cold if you have one, and when your nose is blocked or your throat is swollen, this will help you to open it up, and of course with all the necessary vocal training that you need to do. Nowadays they also have this straw that you can blow through in water, and that also moisturizes your vocal chords, I think. I don’t know exactly how it works, but everyone here uses one and it’s actually working for me. Another thing that I use is a water spray, but it has lavender and chamomile in it, and it’s called Throat Coach. There’s nothing in there that can harm you, it’s all natural, and when you want to clear up your vocal chords it’s really nice. Especially when you’re doing interviews, it’s pretty useful!

 
Finally, another question pertaining to you, Sharon - who are your main musical inspirations, and what inspires you to write music?

 
Well, you know, what I’ve always liked to do is to challenge myself to write the best song ever – it sounds very arrogant in a way, but it’s not like the best song that anyone could write, it’s just the best song that I can make, and I always try to push myself to something out of the box, out of the ordinary, to feel free to do anything I like. And so aiming for mediocre is not good enough. It should be very good, it should be something special, something that you can use as little bits of a song, like if it’s a catchy line. And that’s always my aim – every time if I say, oh I wrote maybe not the best song but I really wrote a really great song, I’m so happy for two weeks, and then the feeling goes away again, and then I really want to write another song! It’s how you build up ideas, it’s how you challenge yourself, and keep on listening to other people and don’t be afraid of listening to different genres that aren’t your genre. I think that’s even better because otherwise you start copying other bands that are in your scene, and for us it’s more like we find more inspiration from other scenes than in our own music scene because you just don’t want to copy others and you don’t want to copy yourself.

WITHIN TEMPTATION - Surprise! After the successful release of Enter & The Dance on vinyl (both records sold out within a heartbeat and thank you all for that!) we will be releasing a limited edition of Mother Earth on vinyl. Mother Earth was the album that marked the change from a doomy sound to a more symphonic style. It was beyond our expectations that 'Ice Queen' reached #1 in both The Netherlands and Belgium!

Now, almost twenty years later, we want to celebrate this critically acclaimed record by releasing it as a limited edition of 5.000 individually numbered copies on colored (solid blue, solid yellow & solid red mixed) vinyl. The vinyl comes with:

    A gatefold sleeve,
    includes a booklet with lyrics, pictures and an exclusive poster,
    and contains four live bonus tracks. 

MOTHER EARTH on vinyl will officially be released on January 11, 2019, but you can already preorder your copy here.

"I was burned out. I was tired. I was stuck and bored. I was at a complete loss, and I didn’t have a clue on where to start with new music. I had to ask myself, ‘How long do I want to do this? Do I want to do this? There was a point where I didn’t think we would continue with Within Temptation.”

Sharon den Adel is reflecting on the turbulent few months that almost derailed one of the biggest metal bands of the 21st century. Sat alongside her bandmate, husband and business partner Robert Westerholt, she admits that a combination of burnout, writer’s block and life-altering personal issues meant that, for a time, the likelihood of a new Within Temptation album – of Within Temptation even existing – looked very, very uncertain.

“I think the whole of Within Temptation needed a break,” adds Robert, alluding as much to Within Temptation the ‘brand’ as the band. “It felt like we’d been on a [fast-moving] train for many years, so it was necessary. And, to be honest, we didn’t really know what the outcome of that break would be.”

While Sharon and Robert may have started the year in a state of flux, you wouldn’t know it from speaking to them now. The pair seem in a relaxed and amiable mood as we chat over lunch in a restaurant high up in the Amsterdam Tower: a 22-storey modern build overlooking the Netherlands’ capital city on what is a bright and humid late-summer afternoon. Robert dressed in a white hoody and jeans, Sharon in a suit jacket and black top, they complement each other as only couples do; often finishing each other’s sentences or politely correcting one another’s answers, a tag team whose dynamic doesn’t eclipse their own personalities. Where some band partnerships offer an endless clash of egos, theirs is a relationship built on mutual trust, understanding and, ultimately, a shared vision for a band that has spectacularly defied the odds. One of metal’s premier power couples, the Dutch duo have guided Within Temptation for over two decades; graduating from the class of symphonic metal bands that emerged from Europe in the late 90s, they’ve since become a modern rock powerhouse, consistently churning out critically acclaimed albums while building one of metal’s largest and most dedicated audiences.

You don’t become one of the biggest artists in your country’s history without a bit of hard work, so we shouldn’t be too surprised when Sharon mentions before the interview that they were up until 4am working on their imminent new album, Resist. Still, it’s a far cry from the stifling “wall” the pair claimed to have both hit creatively only a few months ago.

“Yeah, I had writer’s block,” Sharon sighs. “I didn’t feel it any more, I didn’t have inspiration. I wouldn’t want to go in a new direction with the band where people would go, ‘What a has-been.’ I’d rather not bring out a record than bring out a record I don’t feel confident about.”

“I was the same,” agrees Robert. “I think we all had that. The main thing was that we felt we really needed a new impulse, something new to inspire us and make it worthwhile to make a record.”

This rather significant roadblock could hardly have come at a worse time. Within Temptation’s previous album, 2014’s Hydra, ushered in their most successful chapter yet, landing career-high positions in charts around the world including the UK (6), the US (16) and their homeland (a return to Number 1, after previous opus The Unforgiving just missed out). Hydra’s lead single, Paradise (What About Us?), featuring former Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen, has racked up more than 50million views on YouTube, while the touring cycle for the album included both a headline slot at Bloodstock festival and, most significantly, a show at London’s legendary Wembley Arena. The scene had been set for Within Temptation to consolidate their position as one of modern metal’s most important bands. But dig a little deeper and it soon emerges that, behind the scenes, there was a growing dissatisfaction with the Hydra era that helped create the hole the band eventually found themselves in.

“With Hydra, we were searching for something new, but I think we didn’t find it, you know?” offers Robert.

“I didn’t feel that we made enough progress,” agrees Sharon. “When we were writing the album we felt we were moving in the right direction, but there was still a little doubt. In retrospect, we felt like it just wasn’t enough.”

“And then you get that doubt,” Robert chimes in. “The doubt of if you are still able to write a record, and if you can still get excited about it. It’s shit when you can’t do what you were born to do best.”

Professional frustrations are problematic enough for any artist, but there were personal issues, too, bubbling beneath the surface. Since 2011, Robert has taken a behind-the-scenes role in the band, writing a lion’s share of the music but staying at home to look after the couple’s children during tours – a duty he enthusiastically tells us has “been great”. As frontwoman of the band, however, Sharon has no choice but to be on the road. Earlier this year, she told Hammer that she was starting to struggle with being away from her family for those long stretches on tour, noting: “I’ve missed things. Kids are growing up, parents are getting older… you have to make choices about getting a balance in your life.” While she has since worked out a new touring routine for the band that she hopes will ease those problems – “we’re dividing the tours: two weeks at home, two weeks away, something like that” – she reveals that, on top of all this uncertainty, she suffered a devastating family loss that only added to her conflicted feelings about the band’s future.

“My dad died this year,” she states quietly. “It made everything more difficult. My mum is going through a [grieving] process, so I want to be at home more for her, and I felt guilty not being at home as much when my dad was sick. I felt insecure, like an open nerve.”

Unable to focus on Within Temptation, Sharon instead took a personal and professional detour, pouring her emotion into a new project. The result was her first solo album, My Indigo: a soul-baring, introspective odyssey that painted the soulful pop of singer-songwriters like Lana Del Rey with coatings of shimmering, 80s-styled synth. Released in April, it helped channel the issues Sharon was dealing with while resetting her creative impulses.

“I needed a different expression in my songs,” she says today, noting that while recent events helped accelerate its completion, ideas for My Indigo first started coming together “years” ago. “When I had the My Indigo album written and had given it a place, I felt a little stronger. With Within Temptation, it’s epic music, and you need a certain kind of emotion to write those kinds of songs.”

While Robert was also involved in the writing process for Sharon’s solo work, the rest of the band were left on the sidelines, uncertain of their future together. How did they feel about My Indigo?

“They were not that expressive about it, but we explained to them why we were doing it and they understood,” replies Sharon. “Ruud [Jolie, lead guitar] was the guy saying, ‘Oh, I expected you to do this years ago!’ They were not stressed about it, and that gave me more space. We’re all friends, and we go back so long; we know each other’s families, and people have respect for that. That makes us special.”

A gorgeous little album in its own right, My Indigo nevertheless represented a potential conflict for Sharon; it had been four years since Hydra – a long time in music by any standard. Was this new solo venture going to further undermine the chance of Within Temptation having a future together? As it turns out, the answer is a resounding no. In fact, My Indigo not only pressed a much-needed reset button in Sharon’s creative conscious, but ended up being the best thing that could have happened to the band.

“Because of My Indigo, I felt open to Within Temptation again,” Sharon explains. “I found a new way of writing, and we felt we knew where to start. There was a natural progression.”

Once that first trickle of promise seeped through, the dam, it appears, would soon break. From being uncertain if we would even see a new Within Temptation album again, the pair’s creativity was suddenly reignited at pace, the writing process for the new record all coming together “in the last few months, really quickly.” If Hydra represented less of an obvious evolution than its predecessor, 2011’s outstanding, conceptually loaded The Unforgiving, Resist would quickly see the band embrace elements that would bode well for forward momentum. This was going to be a whole new Within Temptation – bigger, louder and heavier than ever.

“There’s a bigger change than on previous records,” allows Robert. “It was like, ‘We need more edge!’ For us, that was crucial, and I’m convinced our fans will love it. It’s not that we’re a different band now, but you can feel more energy there – a certain… darkness… in the melodies, in the vibe, which we really like. The Reckoning was the first new song we wrote, and I think it’s probably one of the heaviest songs we’ve ever done. This album feels like we want to get on the barricades and kick some legs!”

He’s not kidding. With Resist, Within Temptation have taken everything that has carried their sound this far and beefed it up to Wrestlemania-sized levels. Aforementioned album opener and lead single The Reckoning is a case-in-point, packing what is easily the heaviest riff the band have ever written, sounding closer to Korn’s chunky heft than anything the Dutch crew have produced before and carried along an electronic hook so huge it goes off like a war horn sounded by Skrillex. Sharon is on imperious form, her powerful vocals providing a perfect foil for the excitable yelp of Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix, who is one of a clutch of well-executed guest appearances on the record.

The likes of Raise Your Banner – in Sharon’s words, “a proper metal song” – and Mad World – a pop-tinged industrial metal banger – continue in a similar vein, but it’s not just the heavier tracks that stand out. There’s a much bigger electronic presence across the whole album, whether it’s the syncopated, stuttery chords running under Endless War, the waves of warm synth that wash across the bouncy, EDM-indebted Supernova, or the cheeky appearance of a vocoder on Holy Ground (yes, really). It adds to what Sharon describes as a “futuristic” sound for the album, and it’s handled expertly by longtime Within Temptation producer Daniel Gibson, who manages to straddle the various elements on show without losing sight of the fact that this is still, ultimately, a metal album.

“It’s about using things you like from certain music you hear, and combining it with metal!” offers Sharon. “I think that is always the way forward. We’ve done that for many years, and it keeps it fresh.”

Sharon’s solo ventures, too, have evidently wielded influence beyond her album, with the ballady Firelight recalling the dark folk-pop that permeated much of My Indigo.

“That was the only song that was written for My Indigo,” she admits with a guilty laugh. “But it was too dark. It has elements from My Indigo, but we roughened it up into Within Temptation.”

Ultimately, it makes for an album that could and should see Within Temptation take another huge stride into metal’s proverbial hall of fame. What it definitely doesn’t sound like is a band running short on ideas or passion for what they do.

“We found an angle that we wanted to talk about,” Sharon points out. Ah yes, the angle. Not only is Within Temptation’s music looking to the future, but if Resist is anything to go by, their lyrics are, too. Taking aim at our increasingly digitalised age and what that means for our rights, our privacy and our humanity itself, the album channels a subject that has become a looming source of consternation for Sharon and Robert.

“It’s a topic that always triggers us,” says Sharon. You think you have a lot of freedom, but at the same time, you really don’t. There are a lot of programs being developed at the moment that you think are liberating because you’re getting more options for social media, but [your freedom] is being narrowed down. It annoys us.”

“You get the feeling that you’re being boxed in,” adds Robert by way of explanation. “Like with music. On Spotify, if you listen to Within Temptation, you always then get suggested Nightwish and Evanescence. I mean, I want to discover other bands, but you always get the obvious choices. It’s like someone is determining everything we listen to. Your own freedom of choice is there, but without you realising, they’re really directing you.”

“And not just with Spotify,” says Sharon. “I know a friend of mine who has been working on this program. It’s being developed for a radio station getting called by someone; they type in your name, they find your Facebook, they see everything about your whole life, and they can take something and discuss it with you. I think that goes too far. ‘You were drunk last night? You were doing that?’”

Even the biggest technophobes find themselves at the mercy of technology in 2018. Social media has completely changed 21st century discourse, while the famous Apple adage from their 2009 campaign – ‘There’s an app for that’ – has become a standardised way to learn, create and discover. While it’s undoubtedly reaped plenty of benefits in recent times, the potential for governments and corporations to harness our reliance on technology for sinister means grows ever more real – and it’s not something Within Temptation take lightly.

“Insurance companies have these bots that scan the internet,” offers Robert, clearly on a roll on something he has given much thought to. “That is a very simple way of seeing how much you are drinking, how much of a liability you are, everything…  and suddenly you don’t have health insurance anymore, or you become a risk for the authorities.”

“It goes even further than that,” adds Sharon. “In China, they have face recognition on zebra crossings. It’s like Black Mirror! There is a new world being born at this moment. It’s changing really fast, and that fascinates us a lot.”

“It’s like all those sci-fi movies,” says Robert with a shake of the head. “The things that were happening there? They are more around the corner than people think.”

Technology as an existential threat has been something explored by metal for decades, and for Within Temptation, it’s provided an exciting – if mildly terrifying – new way for them to reconnect with what their music has always been about: telling stories through the medium of epic, overblown heavy fucking metal. And on that note: given their increasingly impressive live show, are we safe to assume that this futuristic theme will be given full rein when it comes to the stage?

“I think our show’s been developing through the years,” allows Robert vaguely, not wanting to lift the curtain quite yet. “It’s quite a big set-up again, this tour. We think it’s really, really cool. And yes, it’s a very inspiring new theme! Very sci-fi…”

Given where they were only a few short months ago, it’s a relief and an inspiration to see Within Temptation so excited about their next chapter. Armed with a killer new album and a wealth of ideas on how to expand on it – Robert teases something particularly high concept involving “augmented reality video”, heaven help us – they have all the tools to carry their band, to carry metal itself, into a bold new future. As the conversations over our world’s next big headliners continues to roll on, they’re as equipped as anyone to grab the proverbial brass ring – even if neither Robert nor Sharon are ready to embrace the spotlight quite yet.

“Ha! Sharon never says yes to talent shows or premieres,” laughs Robert when we ask if they’re ready to become bona fide rock’n’roll celebrities. So she gets offers for that kind of thing? “They always ask her! But we are more musicians than we are… TV people’.”

“I’ve been asked to go on Holland’s Got Talent and all those shows,” Sharon adds with a roll of the eyes. “It doesn’t feel right. I have other stuff to do!”

So there’s no chance of an Osbournes-style reality show about you and the fam?

“Never in a million years,” Sharon shoots back with a laugh.

“That is not a good idea,” chuckles Robert.

Whether they’re ready for it or not, Within Temptation are about to shoot for the stars. The future is theirs.

Within Temptation Interview
Within Temptation Interview
by Chad Bowar
Guardar
Within Temptation

Spinefarm Records

Within Temptation‘s latest album is Resist. At one point, it wasn’t clear if the band would continue, but they found their path and a musical approach that incorporates some new styles alongside what they have done in the past. I spoke with vocalist Sharon den Adel about the challenges of making the album, their upcoming North American tour, her solo project My Indigo and other topics.

Chad Bowar: The future of the band was in doubt. What turned it around and set you back in the right direction again?
Sharon den Adel: First I have to explain what was the reason for it, that it was going to be maybe that Hydra was the last album, just because lack of inspiration after that album. It took us five years to write a new album. And there were several reasons why we had writer’s block or felt uninspired. First of all, I had a lot of stuff in my personal life that was happening. And it made me realize I really had to think about, okay, I’ve been on this roller coaster for 23 years. Do I still want to do this for another 23? Do I want to do it differently? I missed out on a lot of things doing this. My big passion, and my biggest love, was to be able to be touring with a band all over the world and doing this.

On the other hand, I missed out on a lot of stuff at home. Parents and friends, everybody’s got families. I missed out on a lot of stuff. So I just realized that after Hydra, I really had to make up the balance and stuff. And then, also what happened is I had writer’s block. It was all connected. But I wasn’t the only one having problems writing. Other people in the band who were also writing had the same problem. In the meantime, to get rid of the writer’s block and just doing something different sometimes really helps to get back to make clear which direction you want to go, also with your life.

I did something else in between it, my solo project My Indigo. It’s a different kind of music. It’s singer/songwriter kind of songs. It’s more alternative, and a bit of an urban kind of influence. It has a lot of different flavors that I never used for Within Temptation, but it fit better in the time that I was going through all of this process, finding my new way for Within Temptation and deciding if I even wanted to continue with the band even. So I did this project in between. And it really helped us to find a new way. It helped me back to Within Temptation again. I could deal with a lot of stuff through My Indigo by writing these songs and doing something different, getting out of my comfort zone, looking at music in a different way again and also, to a different genre of music.

And I think a lot of things that I learned from the project, not just me. The producer I was working with for My Indigo also worked on the new album for Within Temptation. We both made a development that helped us to do a different structure for Within Temptation, but also the songwriting was very different. Before this album and any album before it, we had different rhythms, we had a different way of singing. But also, the contribution of the singers that we eventually asked. Also, my own way of singing was very different than what I have done before. The timing is different.

So many things really resulted from the urban stuff. We learned a lot from that, actually. We transformed a little bit into Within Temptation with some influences of that, which makes it sound more modern, in my opinion. We had a lot of things happening at the same time, not being inspired by any kind of music and eventually, ended up looking at different kind of music genres than typical metal or rock where we normally get our influences and inspiration from. We looked to different music scenes and that really helped us evolve a new direction for Within Temptation eventually. And that made it fun again, because that’s the aim that we always have is to find a new way of finding something that makes enthusiastic to write again. And it happened actually by listening to different kinds of music than we normally do.

You talked about the guest singers, who are all very different.
Yeah, totally. And that’s also very nice, because they all add something different to a different type of song. And also, because they all have a different type of voice. We asked Anders from In Flames because he’s more experienced with a screaming voice. And we needed his screaming voice on “Raise Your Banner.” And for “The Reckoning” we needed more of what Jacoby (Shaddix, Papa Roach) had. It’s intense, direct, but also a certain anger to it and also vulnerable, somehow. Jasper (Steverlinck) was more sensual and also very emotional. There are three very different vocalists, indeed.

In Flames is a band like yourselves whose sound has evolved over the years.
Yeah, but I think Papa Roach as well, actually. I was thinking about how they started and what they’re doing now is so different. Of course, they have the same kind of influences still. But they really evolved from where they came from. They went along with their time also.

Another thing that’s new for you guys is the record label. Tell me how you came to sign with Spinefarm.
We signed with them for America. We’re signed with Universal in the rest of the world. They really believed in the songs that we were presenting to them and we had a really good connection with them, how they responded to our new ideas for the new songs and what direction we were going. Eventually, we chose them for that reason. We had the right vibe or wavelength. They were very enthusiastic and liked our new direction.

What led to the album being pushed back from last year to early February?
There were some production problems. I didn’t really get into exactly what it was, because I was like, “Yeah, it’s only six weeks, it’s not months and months, luckily.” But something went wrong with the production and they had to reproduce the whole thing again.

Has what you expect from a record label changed over the years?
I think the music industry has changed a lot. They’re still doing more or less the same thing, but I think it’s slightly changing. Nowadays, instead of getting on the radio, it’s now better to get you on music platforms which is more important nowadays than radio in most countries. It’s the same, but it’s not the same. For us, a record company has always been more or less the same in that they never were involved with any decisions that we made for the future or for any music that we made. We always had the freedom to make and do whatever we wanted, because nobody really understood what we were doing. They didn’t understand the scene we were in most of the time. But it’s always nice to hook up with a more metal or rock or alternative kind of label, because they are more used to bands like us so they know how to present us in the right way and to the platforms that are out there.

Another thing that has changed a lot over the years, especially with the development of social media, is how your albums are promoted. Back when you guys first started, maybe you released one single and then, the album came out. Now, it’s videos of you in the studio and lyric videos and regular videos and several songs come out before the album release. Do you like the transparency or you miss the mystique?
There are more tools to make people aware that you’re out there, that you’re releasing a new album. But in the past, it was one single like you said. But essentially, when the album was out, nobody was interested any more to talk to you or the band. Okay, it’s out there, so what else can we talk about? And now, you can have a real nice build-up to a certain point where everyone’s really excited. And you can release little snippets and stuff. I like the technology, because it makes it actually, for me, more exciting to watch the band release something more than just one single and then the whole album.

Of course, you’re excited for the whole album to come out. We play five songs live during the tour that we’ve been doing before the album comes out. And it’s not the same as it is on the record, so it’s always going to be different. But still, if we wouldn’t have done that, then the surprise would have been bigger, but I think it did make people aware that we were releasing a new album. And I think all of our fans are ready to go.

You are getting ready to come back to tour in North America. How are you doing when it comes to building your North American fan base?
We go there the same way as we did before. We play three weeks to six weeks. That’s what we did in the past, and we’re coming over again for three weeks. And we’ll see if we’re coming back again. It depends on what else comes our way. It’s such a big country. It’s hard to travel. It takes so much time. And the world is so big for us. We have so many countries where we are a little bit bigger. We’re playing on different stages here in Europe and in Russia and in this part of the world. But I think there’s a certain capacity of how many fans there are that like a type of music. And I think we’ve reached them.

I’m really happy that we’re able to come back every time and still sell out the shows. And that’s the biggest thing. And these are nice venues that we play. It’s not like it’s very small. It’s just really comfortable and beautiful places that we get to play. It’s just a pleasure for us to come over and enjoy your country and to enjoy our friends during these shows. It’s very relaxed, for us anyway. I’m enjoying it.

With In Flames on the bill for your North American tour, can we expect a nightly performance of “Raise Your Banner” with Anders?
I hope so. I’m really looking forward to that. I didn’t ask him yet. The chances are quite good, I think, to get them on stage.

How challenging is it so many albums in to construct a set list that you guys like to play and that the fans like to hear?
It’s challenging, because you always disappoint somebody who has a favorite song that you’re not playing. But what we’re doing is taking songs from every album and those that are the fan favorites. We think we know which ones those are. And sometimes it depends where you’re playing, which country, which song did better there. We make a nice combination of both the new album and old albums. And it depends a little bit how long you play. Most of the time, we play one and a half hours. There’s always a lot of opportunity to put a lot of old stuff in there, as well. And we try to vary it little bit here and there.

You can’t please everyone, but you can make a nice mixture. And I think we’ve done that this time especially, because we have a different sound with this album. We tried to fit older songs together that fit our new album as well to have a nice red line between the songs so that it all fits together and feels like one thing.

You mentioned the My Indigo album before. Do you anticipate doing another one at some point in the future?
I hope so, but it’s more something that I’m going to do on the side, because I do realize that having a project of this size with Within Temptation is very difficult. I’m a writer for both, so I’m writing My Indigo and I’m one of the writers for Within Temptation. So it’s a lot of work and a lot of effort. But I’m looking forward to doing both. But My Indigo will be a second plan, of course, because it’s something that I do on the side. It’s a project really. And Within Temptation is my first band. That’s something that I need to focus on mostly. But if I have time, I’ll try to give it another go for another album, because I really enjoyed the first one. It was very precious for me to be able to make that album. And it was very personal, also. But I think there’s more to write and I think that it’s good to keep continuing that, as well.

I know music is very much a family affair for you. Are the kids getting into music yet?
Yes, my son is. He’s nine. He’s playing really well and writing songs already, but it’s something that I don’t want to be involved too much in. We encourage him, but it’s very difficult to be in a music scene. Whatever you do, just do it as a hobby and you’ll see. Whatever comes out comes out. Just enjoy it, the fact that you can make music. That’s the thing that we’re trying to emphasize.

The album explores a new side of Within Temptation with new urban influences that take a step away from the band's signature symphonic metal sound. Resist explores current universal technological and political issues and drives home the idea that a wakeup call is needed to break free from fixed patterns and find a way to live life in freedom.

Last week, Within Temptation frontwoman Sharon den Adel spoke to AXS from her home in the Netherlands where she was spending the day promoting the new release.

AXS: You have the new album coming out this week.  What do you feel Resist represents for the band?

Sharon den Adel: I think for us, we feel that this album, which I'm sure you hear from every band, but I feel this album really steps away from what we've done before both musically and production-wise. It's not the typical symphonic metal that people know from us. We have new influences in our music. I think in some way it's unrecognizable as Within Temptation and we have a lot of new things in there that we haven't done before. There's some urban stuff and also some hip hop and reggae rhythms and ways of singing, but not where we are completely doing that, but where we are using parts and implementing that into our music and our signature sound.

I think that gives us a nice crossover appeal without losing our own identity. I think that's a big step forward from the previous albums that we've released.

AXS: Have you been happy with the reaction to the first couple of singles?

SA: Yeah and we've also been playing five of the songs live so we are getting that direct reaction. That's a great reason to play them live. Of course, there are some songs that are explosive and then some songs that people take a while to get used to.  Sometimes certain songs come across differently on an album than they do live, but so far the reactions have been really good. We're looking forward to hearing more when the album is out. We've already had some really beautiful reviews, but we are really anxious to hear what our fans think.

AXS: You've talked about the fact that you and the rest of the band went through a period where you weren't sure that you wanted to continue. What was it that inspired you to head back in and record this album?

SA: The thing was that after the release of our last album Hydra, we toured a lot and we didn't have any breaks. We tried to find that time after the tour to rest and usually a couple of weeks after you get back from tour and come down a bit, you're ready to get back into the studio and create something again. You're ready to express yourself in a different way and have something fresh that you can be excited about again. However, this time after Hydra, nothing happened. We didn't feel inspired. We were worn out and especially me because I'd come to a kind of crossroads in my life and with the heavy touring schedule we had, we all needed a break.

For me, I found that I was burnt out and having a writer's block and it was also a combination of other things. My father got really ill just before we ended the tour so it was emotionally heavy for me to be away from my family. So all those things really pressed on me and were a bit heavy for me while we were on the road.

So when I finally did get home, nothing came out of the writing sessions I did. I felt lost because I couldn't express myself and I really needed to do that. What I did was I said that maybe I don't have to write for Within Temptation, maybe I can do something else in between and maybe I'll eventually end up again being inspired for Within Temptation. At that time I really didn't know if that was something that I wanted to do again because I'd been doing it for my whole adult life and sometimes you really need a change. What came out that was my solo album called My Indigo and it was a different kind of music. It's urban alternative and it has some indie pop influences and at times some eighties influences, but also a lot of modern influences as well. So I put all that in a blender and that album was the result. It was something very different from Within Temptation and it was nice to be able to make it.

I learned a lot from it and moving forward in time it ended up really helping us get back to Within Temptation because I learned so much from it and having those urban influences and those different rhythms and those different productions began to influence the Resist album. We started writing together again and we came up with a mix of Within Temptation and this urban stuff and even some hip hop here and there and it really made us enthusiastic about music and Within Temptation again. I think it was a necessary step to make. Before I started My Indigo, I had no idea this would be the outcome, but I'm really happy that it did.

AXS: And Resist has a powerful message running through it, which is timely right now with all of the turmoil throughout the world. Was that something that you wanted to address heading into this or was that something that just evolved in the studio?

SA: Well you really can't get around it. It's like everywhere in your face all of the time. The consequences of what is happening in this world is prevalent in the papers and all over the place. So we already had that in mind when we were writing and we were inspired by it because we were also very angry and fired up about different subjects like freedom of speech and also fake news and all the examples of people trying to influence things like voting. Even here in the Netherlands, we had to go back to paper and a pencil again in the elections because of the fact that we don't trust computers anymore. It's a problem in big cities everywhere. Technology is working against us nowadays more or less. It looks so great on the surface because you can use your social media to communicate with everyone out there, but at the same time it's feeding out a lot of information about you so anonymity is lost.

So all of this was a good inspiration for us to write about. We all have families and we want to have a better world where we can leave something beautiful behind. It's really going in the wrong direction and it's sad. I do think that people are realizing it, but it's too late to go back in time and change technology, but there are ways to fix it with new privacy laws and thinking about how we can make it work without losing our privacy.

AXS: Have you seen the message from Resist connecting on that level?

SA: Yes and I think because it is all around you that everybody has an opinion about it so they can draw that connection.

AXS: Over the years, you've done a number of collaborations.  For this album, you've got the first single "The Reckoning" with Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach,) "Raise Your Banner" with Anders Fridén (In Flames,) and "Firelight" with Jasper Steverlinck  (Arid.) How did those come about and do you usually know who you'd like to work ahead of going in the studio?

SA: It usually not something intentional, but rather something that grows when you're writing a new song and something seems to work for another voice. Usually, it starts out 100 percent with my voice, but as you move along and the story begins to flow, sometimes it's really nice to have a different take on the song to provide that energy. We are always pro-collaborations, whether it's a feature on our album or a feature on someone else's release. It's always nice to meet new people who are more or less of the same music genre as you are, especially since you never really get to know each other because you're out on different tours. So sometimes you like their music and you write a song and you think, hey, what the heck, it could be really cool to have them or him or her on this song because their voice would really bring something new to the song. So that's what happened this time. That's why we asked the three that are on this album. It could have been ladies as well, but it turned out to be men this time! [laughing]

AXS: Looking at your solo album, what did you find to be the biggest difference for you in the process?

SA: It was quite different because I also worked with different people. I did work with the same producer, but I had other musicians participate in the writing process. It was great to learn from new people because I'm always usually with the same people and for me, it was really like an adventure. So it was a chance to grow again with the lyrics and how you write music and how you look at music. It was one big musical adventure that allowed me to find myself again and, in a way, reinvent myself.

AXS: And the North American tour is rapidly approaching. What should your American and Canadian fans expect this time out?

SA: Well we're developing a new stage setup. It's going to be different from the European one. It's going to be a mixture, of course, of the new album and us playing around with some of the older stuff. We've really found with the European tour that you have to fuse the old songs with a new sound because you want it to really flow. Plus it's nice for people to see something old but in a new way. So we hope to play around with that every few shows or so. That would be cool I think.

AXS: And what's the plan for the rest of the year?

SA: There's a lot of festivals coming our way so when we come back to the Netherlands we have at least thirty shows that we are going to do throughout Europe and one in Russia even. We are going to be all over the place in every country so just more of that and after the summer we will have to see. We have the option for a new European tour in bigger venues with another band and we are thinking about South America and we can always write again too so it's really open for whatever we want to do. We also believe nowadays that there's a different way of touring and writing songs in the future for us I think. We don't have to tour for two years in a row to promote a new album. Maybe we cut out in between and take a few months and write. Then we can go on tour again with the same album, but also release some new stuff to keep it exciting. You have to adapt to changing scenery and industry.

AXS: Anything you want to say to the fans who will be picking up the album over the next week?

SA: Well I really hope they will like the album and hopefully they can send us a picture of them with it so we can put together a nice display of everyone across the world. It will be a great way to connect everyone in one big post. That would be really cool.I'm really looking forward to the North American tour because it's been a while and we really enjoy to come over and see all of the beautiful places again and meet all of those beautiful people. We are finally going, yay!!

With a heavy heart we must inform you of the following:

As you know, we were scheduled to play the Byblos Festival in Lebanon on August 7th. We have found out that another band called Mashrou' Leila was pulled from the festival according to the festival committee due to security reasons after religious fanatics demanded their performance to be cancelled followed by violent threats. Apart from the fact that Lebanese authorities at this moment are not able to provide artists the security to perform in peace, we have decided to cancel our show in Byblos in solidarity with Mashrou' Leila and in support of tolerance, freedom of speech and expression.

For you, our fans in Lebanon, it hurts to make this decision. Our last show in Lebanon is still very vivid in our minds and hearts. We are looking forward to better days on which we will return to you in Lebanon.

El conjunto holandés de rock Within Temptation anunció el pasado domingo que anulaba su concierto previsto para hoy en el festival internacional de Biblos (Líbano), en solidaridad con el grupo indie libanés Mashrou’Leila, defensor de los derechos del colectivo LGTBI y cuya actuación fue suspendida por presión de sectores cristianos conservadores.

En un comunicado publicado en su página Facebook, el grupo holandés afirmó que han tomado esa decisión tras conocer que «el comité organizador del festival había anulado la actuación de Mashrou’Leila por motivos de seguridad tras amenazas violentas de fanáticos religiosos».

«Dado que las autoridades libanesas son incapaces de garantizar la seguridad a los artistas en una atmósfera de paz, decidimos anular nuestro concierto en Biblos en solidaridad con Mashrou’Leila y con el objetivo de apoyar la tolerancia y la libertad de expresión», agregó el grupo, esperando «días mejores» para volver actuar en el país mediterráneo.

El 30 de julio, el comité del festival, en el que actúan artistas de todo el mundo, anunció que decidió suspender el concierto de Mashrou' Leila «para mantener la seguridad y la estabilidad, y evitar un derramamiento de sangre».

Según la nota, la organización tomó ese «paso sin precedentes» como resultado de la polémica que se ha generado por la actuación de la banda de música indie que estaba programada paraeste viernes en la ciudad mediterránea de Biblos.

El grupo libanés, fundado por cuatro jóvenes y cuyo cantante se ha declarado abiertamente homosexual, fue amenazado por religiosos fundamentalistas e internautas que no descartaron el empleo de la fuerza para impedir su actuación.

Tras el comunicado del grupo holandés, el Comité del festival de Biblos publicó una nota en su página Facebook, en la que expresó su pesar por la anulación del concierto de Within Temptation.

El festival describió a Mashrou' Leila como un grupo que «ha desafiado el status quo de la industria pop de Oriente Medio», además de ganar fama internacional y de actuar en Europa y Estados Unidos.

El conjunto, que ha abanderado los derechos del colectivo LGTBI en un país en el que todavía se penan las relaciones «contra natura» con hasta un año de prisión, le ha costado más de un problema con las autoridades de varios países árabes, como Jordania y Egipto, que han prohibido su actuación en los pasados años.

Los cuatro jóvenes no habían sido vetados en su tierra natal hasta ahora, pero las llamadas a boicotear el concierto procedentes de la comunidad católica maronita, incluidas algunas amenazas de impedir el concierto por la fuerza, han hecho que tras diez años de su fundación, Mashrou' Leila no pueda actuar en el Líbano.

They’re two of the biggest rock and metal bands of this century, but Evanescence and Within Temptation have never shared a stage before. Until last year, in fact, their paths had never even crossed. All that is set to change as the two have lined up a huge European co-headlining tour next April.

Dubbed the Worlds Collide Tour, it will kick off at Brussels’ Palais 12 on April 4 and finish at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on the 21st. There will also be a UK date at London’s O2 Arena – the biggest non-festival show either band will have played on these shores.

Within Temptation released their seventh album Resist back in February of this year, while Evanescence have spent much of the past two years  supporting Synthesis, which saw the band rework some of their best-known songs with more electronic and orchestral elements. Both groups say that the Worlds Collide Tour will be a wholly new experience, however, with newly-designed stage sets and a unique atmosphere.

Kerrang! caught up with Evanescence’s Amy Lee and Within Temptation’s Sharon den Adel – two of the most creative and influential women in rock – to find out what to expect…

At the risk of being obvious, are you both excited for this tour?
Sharon: “Of course! It’s a different thing for us because we’ve played big shows and venues in some countries, but to do a whole tour like this is something new. And with the two bands, we’re in the same scene and we have some similarities. We also have some differences in the music, of course, but I think the combination makes this tour really strong.”
Amy: “Yes, very much. It’s interesting, I’ve known for a long time that we share fans because I’ve heard of this band through the internet talking and our fans talking about them. The offer came up for us to do this tour together and we’re very excited about it. It just seems to make perfect sense, and we’re all really looking forward to it.”

It’s called the Worlds Collide Tour, but, like you say, there are some similarities. Do you think Within Temptation and Evanescence complement each other well?
Amy: “I really do. We collaboratively chose that name. We feel like we have our two separate worlds, separate lives across the ocean, but in a lot of ways there are some major similarities. And to be able to bring these two worlds together for the first time just seems like a perfect match for both of us. Obviously there are differences, but you want that. You want contrast in the show but it’s cool to be able to see the similarities and embrace those, too.”
Have you had requests to tour together from fans?
Sharon: “Of course, but that often happens with bands who have that overlap in fans. They always ask to do something together but maybe they don’t think it would ever come true. It’s a special one. In the past I remember a lot of my friends getting very excited when Megadeth and Metallica did that tour together many years ago. I remember everyone was very hyped up to see two of their favourite bands together, and it’s a similar sort of thing.”

To put you on the spot, are you fans of each other’s music?
Amy: “I hadn’t ever really dug deep into their music until meeting Sharon for the first time last year when they came to one of our concerts during our orchestral tour. We just instantly really connected in a beautiful way and I was like, ‘You know what, I’ve got to go back and listen to their music now.’ I started finding all these beautiful songs and these melodies that I really liked. It was like I had found something new that had been waiting for me all along.”
Sharon: “I do enjoy their music very much. When Fallen came out [in 2003], it was very important that something new was happening. It was a bit more in the nu-metal corner maybe, while we were doing more of the symphonic stuff and nu-metal was like a new impulse to the whole music industry. It was exciting, it was refreshing and it was something inspirational for a lot of people.” On the subject of inspiration, it shouldn’t be an issue these days but women are still underrepresented in rock and metal. Do you think it’s an inspirational thing touring together in that respect?
Amy: “I hope so. I’ve made efforts and had awesome opportunities to tour with strong, talented women a lot, over the past few years in particular. You know, there are more and more of us in the hard rock world that are being accepted. It makes me feel really happy to see women in the hard rock world especially getting all this respect and revealing themselves and their power onstage. It feels right and it feels overdue. When we were first starting out it was definitely less common to see women in every element of the show-day. And now, more and more, I’m never the only one. I hope that it’s empowering to everyone: men, women, everyone.”
Sharon: “Hopefully it can plant a seed in someone’s heart or mind to think, ‘Okay, it’s possible to go onstage and make music.’ I agree that women are not as represented as men, but it’s not a competition – it’s just about good music. It shouldn’t matter if it’s a guy or a girl, but every time young girls see female musicians and singers up there onstage, then it can be inspirational for other generations.”

Within Temptation’s Resist tour has been very visual with costumes and sci-fi themed stage sets. Do you think this is going to be a continuation of that, or something entirely different?
Sharon: “We’re going to make a new stage set especially for this tour, because the venues are a bit bigger. Most of the time what we brought was too big for the venues we played. But there are people who came to see us already on the Resist tour, so we want to make something special for those people as well. We try to make it so that the visuals support the music, but the music is the most essential thing, of course. You want to have the whole experience and that’s what we’re trying to do with the live show. It’s a whole experience built around the songs and the music.”

The Resist album brought in some different musical elements, with more electronica, pop and industrial sounds. Did that change the experience of the live show?
Sharon: “No, because live you play things differently again. But for us those elements have been very important on the last album. It’s more of a modern sound and we embrace development. It’s the next step in the evolution of the band I think, to explore new things that are going on. We do bring that to the live stage, but in a different way than how it is on the record.”

And Amy, what can we expect from Evanescence on this forthcoming tour?
Amy: “We’re definitely going to get creative with our production. I feel like this is something that will enable us, we’re going to be playing some very big venues and I think just the whole image of the two bands together could be something just… bigger. I want it to look special. We’re just now in the phase of having creative conversations about what to do that can be new, interesting, creative and exciting for everyone.”

Did the Synthesis tour change the way you view or approach some of the songs?
Amy: “Yes. This isn’t a continuation of that tour, by the way – we’re back to the rock show! But that whole experience of doing the orchestra tour was really mind-opening. It made us work outside of our comfort zone; the band had to sit down, I wore high heels (laughs). It was all very strange, but more seriously it was about interpreting these songs differently and looking at them in a different way. You had to be brave because there’s no hiding in the strobe lights, or making your hair go over your face when you’re not feeling confident! You are literally on display with all your vulnerability, and that’s what I wanted to capture. That tightrope vulnerability mixed with the incredible strength of when it all lines up right with the orchestra. That experience was really special, and it has given us new inspiration now we’re back on the rock tour and also writing a new album – taking that chapter and putting it in our back pockets as something new that we can apply to our music. I’m not talking about pouring an orchestra into the music – we’ve always done that. I mean as a sense of emotion and raw exposure. That’s something that I’ve come to really embrace, rather than be afraid of like I used to be.”

Is there any timeframe for the album, and are you likely to have any new music for this tour?
Amy: “I don’t know. We definitely have a great start and we’re planning on having the album done at some point next year. We don’t have it down to a month, but we’re working on it, we’re writing and touring and it feels good to have multiple things going on at once. We have these shows, and we have a cool cover of Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain that we got the chance to do for the new Gears Of War game. So we’re going to rush on and finish recording that and then go into more writing. It’s fun. You’ve got to keep it fresh: don’t let your mind get stale or bored.”
Sharon, after the Hydra world tour you were burned out and had personal issues to deal with. Did you discuss this and change the way you tour as a band?
Sharon: “Yes, very much so. It’s finding a balance between two different worlds in my professional life and being on tour and my family life. We’ve been doing it so we’re on tour for two weeks then at home for two weeks. We have a real break in between, even though that will make the tour stretch out longer in the end. We’ll still play the same amount of shows but it’s important to have that time at home in between, so you’re not just away for months at a time. You can combine those two worlds that you’re living in.”

And, finally, will there be any friendly rivalry between your two bands?
Sharon: “I don’t think there will be rivalry. We’ve said that there are some similarities, but you just go and do your own thing. I’m just looking forward to it in a very positive way and I’m sure both bands will do our best.”
Amy: “Yeah, I don’t think so. We have a lot of respect for each other and we’re all just very excited to do this. Sharon is a very lovely and down-to-earth person. I haven’t spent as much time with all the guys, but they seem to be as well. I think we’re just going to have fun. I don’t like touring with people I don’t like to be around. I generally just don’t do that, so we’re all very excited to spend some time together and be around each other.”

Evanescence and Within Temptation will play the O2 Arena in London on April 7, 2020, as part of the Worlds Collide tour.

Sharon den Adel always knew she could sing. What she didn’t realise until later in life was that she had the power to turn her passion into her profession. Within Temptation are now firmly established as one of the biggest rock bands to have emerged from mainland Europe in the last 20 years, but that initally seemed like nothing more than a far-flung fantasy. In her native Netherlands, there was little to suggest rock could be a viable career path. The bands that Sharon admired – everyone from Metallica to Nirvana – all came from America, after all.

Worse still, after returning to school in her homeland following periods spent overseas, Sharon was such an outcast that she became a target for bullying. She put up barriers and suppressed her pain, instead immersing herself in hobbies – music, art and fashion. “For me, it was a way out,” she says today, talking to Kerrang! before jetting off to Sweden for album writing sessions. “I wasn’t much of a talker and these were different times – you didn’t really open up about such things at home. But I used music and art to confront my emotions.”

Happier times were to come at high school, where she met guitarist Robert Westerholt, now her long-term partner and bandmate. As well as building a successful career together, the couple are parents to three children. Each one of Within Temptation’s seven albums to date has outdone its predecessor, either in commercial or artistic terms, and usually both. In 2014, sixth album Hydra entered the UK Top 10 and the U.S. Top 20.

The problem came in trying to following up that triumph. With her father diagnosed with terminal bladder cancer, to which he sadly succumbed in 2018, Sharon entered a downward spiral of depression. Writing music, once the most natural thing in the world, now seemed impossible, and for a while the band’s future looked bleak. Thankfully, when they did re-engage after an extended break, it was with 2019’s armour-plated Resist, an album that boasted a bold new sound bolstered by dashes of electronica and a vast, galaxy-spanning production. It was simultaneously their most accessible and ambitious work, but more importantly it was the album that saved one of Europe’s most-loved rock bands.

You’ve come a long way since you first picked up a microphone. What would your teenage self think of how things turned out?
“It would be mind-blowing for her. I was 14 when I first started singing with a band while at school. That seems so far away now. Growing up in the Netherlands we didn’t have too many examples to follow. There were bands like Shocking Blue and Golden Earring, but they never seemed to reach too far outside the country. Being a full-time singer certainly wasn’t considered to be a future job.”

How did your parents react when you told them that’s what you wanted to do?
“They said I could go to music school but they really wanted me to learn flute, piano, and how to read music. That didn’t sound very cool to me and I didn’t want to do it. I told them I wanted to skip all of that and just start singing, because I believed I was good at that. They wanted to support me, but in their own way. I never did learn to play the flute. They soon realised I was a good singer, but they didn’t think you could earn a living from music without being able to read notes. I still can’t!”

Each Within Temptation album has sounded notably different to its predecessor. Was it a struggle to find an identity?
“It is something we were actively and consciously doing, or searching for. We have always wanted to push the borders of what we felt were limiting us within the scene. It’s a good challenge and it keeps things interesting. We like to reinvent ourselves on every album. If we had to stay the same as we were when we started, I doubt we’d have kept the band together so long.”

In 2011 Robert quit being part of the touring band. How difficult was that for you both?
“We didn’t like it, but it was the best thing for both of us. We had actually come through a break-up before that. We broke up as a couple for a little while in 2008. When we got back together we decided the band didn’t work too well when we’re both touring together. We’re hard-headed people and sometimes it’s too much to be working together all the time. Now it works best with us writing in separate rooms. We send emails to each other rather than talk. It can be a fragile thing, but if you’ve worked with your partner you know it can be horrible. We can get into a fight within five minutes. Within the world of Within Temptation we collaborate with different people, and that works well.”

You don’t ever write music together?
“No, never. I send ideas to him, and he either works on those, or he sends something to me and I work on that. We don’t sit together in one room. We tried it that way for a long time and it wasn’t working. On our first two albums he would write the music and I’d come in and work on the vocals. Since then I’ve got way more involved in the actual music. We can’t write together, but we’ve learned from our mistakes and have found a way that works.”

As a mum of three, how do you balance career and family life?
“I found it hard at first. I had to change the balance of my personal life and the band. In the past I would go on tour for six weeks or more at a time, and I’d be away from home a lot. Now we manage it so that we tour for two weeks and then have a break, and then we go out again. It’s generally two weeks on the road and then two weeks at home. It’s more expensive that way, but it keeps the band alive. Everyone has family commitments.”

Within Temptation songs are always invested with considerable emotion. Which songs are most meaningful to you?
“The last album was hugely important for me, coming after the loss of my father. I was still in an emotional state when I was writing Resist with the guys. Holy Ground is particularly meaningful to me, as is Supernova. The Cross [from 2007’s The Heart Of Everything] is another significant one, but there are so many. It’s not just because they deal with subjects personal to me, but sometimes songs relate to people around me. I may be a bystander, but you get sucked into people’s lives and their challenges because you care about them. I take parts of my own emotions along with things that have affected other people, and then integrate those into a song. Because of that we get through a range of subjects on our albums.”

Are there any you find tough to perform for personal reasons?
“Say My Name [from the U.S. edition of 2004’s The Silent Force] and Forgiven [The Heart Of Everything] are hard songs for me to sing. You’re so naked on stage with those. Sometimes, and without meaning to, singing those songs brings back so much that you find yourself in an emotional state. It’s beautiful really, because I am not ashamed to show that side of me. That feeling – you can’t get closer to the origins of a song than that. You want to connect with the feeling, but not to the point where you lose it, emotionally. But sometimes I do.”

Did the success of 2011’s The Unforgiving and 2014’s Hydra change you as a band?
“Not really. You only see it when you look back. At the time you’re carried away by the flow of everything and you don’t always see things changing. Afterwards, I look back almost with surprise and understand that it was all pretty successful. Of course you note where you are in the charts and that’s always a sign that something’s happening, but it’s only later that you realise how important it was, or how people really understood and connected with a certain song or album.”

Did you feel under pressure to maintain that level of success?
“Success is not something you can control. Even after [second album] Mother Earth in 2000, people were wondering whether we could keep it up. Every album has brought a different kind of success; it might be musically or it might be because more fans have discovered you. The only pressure we feel is about whether we still matter to the music scene. We want to make music that feels important to people. Music is essential to life, so being relevant to people is the only aim we have. It’s like a circle: you give, and you get back.”

What do you think caused the writer’s block you experienced in the build-up to last album Resist?
“At a certain age, things start happening for the second time in your life. When I was younger my grandparents died, and then as you get older more people leave you. It’s inevitable. It’s that circle of life. It causes you to stop and reflect on what’s important. The problems began when my father started getting ill. There was too much emotion and I couldn’t deal with it. For me, when there’s too much emotion I can’t write. I feel overwhelmed by it all. I need to be able to put it in a place, to know where it’s coming from and how to deal with it. Only then can I make music. I can’t do it when I’m right in the middle of it.”

Did the band come close to breaking up?
“In the beginning of that period, I didn’t know if we could come back. Eventually, it was that uncertainty about the future that enabled me to explore the emotions I was having. I was talking to everyone and realised it wasn’t just me going through it. Everyone was having trouble coming up with new music. Of course, we wanted to continue. Music and this band is my passion, but I realised that we had to change the balance. It also helped to realise that there were a lot of new things happening in music, and not just within our scene, so we took inspiration from those sources, too. My heart and roots are in metal and rock, but I like all kinds of music. The challenge was to interpret something that might be happening in pop into our own genre.”

How important was your 2018 solo project My Indigo in getting things moving again?
“It forced me to get out of my comfort zone. It made me look at music in different ways and get creative again. A lot of what I learned helped when it came to Resist. The song Firelight was originally written for My Indigo, for example, but we roughened it up a bit and it ended up on Resist, so it was a sort of bridge between the two. Writing rock music again came naturally afterwards, and that was a huge relief. When you’ve done a lot of intimate stuff, the heavier material then seems to come more easily.”

Resist brought new sounds and themes to the table. Is it a one-off or the start of a new era?
“We felt like we developed a lot on this album, but overall it’s still only a small step and we hope to take things even further, along similar lines, in future. The album was inspired by the way we live today, with everything done on the internet and the way that takes away our privacy. Often we are not aware of the impact social media has on us, or that certain companies know so much about what we’re doing. There are not enough laws to protect our privacy. Back in the Second World War people would burn archives, for example, to not give away the places that Jewish people were living. But now all that information would be available digitally. We don’t see the whole picture. We turn away from the ways in which data about us and our lives is being stored and used.”

Does it worry you that your children were born into a time where this seems normal?
“The scary thing is that the younger generation, such as my children, don’t remember a time when this wasn’t the case. I know it makes me sound really old, but it’s dangerous that young people are so addicted to communicating online, and not in person or even on the phone. They’re in love with it; they don’t want to give it up. When I was young I had to go outside and talk to people and make friends that way. The worst thing for young people now is that they’re trying to do this through a phone screen, and actually they’re alone.”

How do you keep your voice in good nick on long tours?
Nightwish’s Floor Jansen says it’s all down to her consumption of red wine, but she might have been joking… “(Laughs) If I’m honest, I also drink a lot of red wine, but I’m not so certain it’s that good for your voice exactly! In fact, being on tour itself helps you to maintain your vocal chords. It’s like a muscle, so it needs training. The more you do it, the smoother it gets. You just need to remember your warming up time. I drink a lot of ginger tea, too, which helps me out, but really, practice is everything.”

Word has it you’re already working on new music. What can you tell us?
“I’m leaving for Sweden in order to isolate myself and focus on writing. Robert has been working hard on new music, too. That has been going really well. It’s a continuation from where we were on the last album, but in a more progressive way. We’re in a good flow right now. We want to take the sound we had on Resist and refine it even more. It’s heavy stuff that we’ve been coming up with; both heavy and up-tempo. That’s making me happy!”

We've planned the release of this song during the Worlds Collide Tour, but now that it has been postponed we want to give you something to look forward to until the tour starts.

stamos viviendo tiempos extraños, pero también tiempos de descubrimiento de nuevas posibilidades en diversos ámbitos. La música no es ajena a todo esto que está ocurriendo, como hemos podido comprobar por la cantidad de actuaciones por streaming y el lanzamiento de nuevos temas que han llevado a cabo muchos artistas. Within Temptation no son por supuesto ajenos y la semana pasada por ejemplo emitieron por streaming su «Black Symphony». Pero la banda va más allá y acaba de hacer un anuncio que probablemente también ha surgido de esta situación. Y es que la banda ha anunciado que ha cambiado su enfoque y que se va a centrar en el lanzamiento de singles. El objetivo más concreto es producir tres singles por año y seis singles cada dos años, concluyendo con un lanzamiento potencial del álbum. El objetivo directo es lanzar nuevas pistas más constantemente, lo que resulta que tanto la banda como los fans estén a la vanguardia de la música recién compuesta y fresca. Así, el primero de estos singles llegará este próximo viernes 8 de mayo. Se trata de una nueva canción que lleva por título «Entertain You» y cuya portada podéis ver al final de este artículo. Esto es lo que ha comentado la banda al respecto: Estamos muy emocionados por anunciar que el 8 de mayo lanzaremos un nuevo tema ‘Entertain You’! Habíamos planeado lanzar esta canción durante el Worlds Collide Tour, pero ahora que se ha pospuesto queríamos daros algo más antes de que la gira comience. ‘Entertain You‘ estará en streaming en plataformas como Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Amazon Music y Youtube. Pre-reserva la canción ahora y elegiremos a 50 fans que recibirán una postal personal y un mensaje de Sharon. Pre- reserva “Entertain You” aquí http://www.lnk.to/wtey...

– Hola Sharon, espero y deseo que estés bien, tanto tu como tu familia y tus ser queridos en esta etapa de crisis. ¿cómo llevas esta difícil etapa?

Sharon.- Bueno, estoy bien, pero ya no puedo soportar ver estas paredes, necesito salir (risas). Como he dicho un poco cansada pero tampoco puede compararse a España porque aquí no está siendo tan estricto como en vuestro país, se puede salir a comprar y sobre todo se puede salir a pasear y a hacer deporte a cualquier hora. No obstante hay que tener cuidado y tomar precauciones. También tengo la suerte de tener un jardín y eso siempre se agradece en este tipo de situación.

Posponer la gira ha sido una decisión difícil pero no era algo que estuviera en nuestra mano, así que no podíamos hacer más. Estoy aprovechando para hacer cosas que me gustan, como una lista de reproducción para hacer ejercicio para los fans. La actualizo de vez en cuando y tiene un poco de todo. También me gusta comer y cocinar, que es lo contrario a estar saludable y a hacer deporte, pero me gusta.
WITHIN TEMPATION

– Hoy 8 de mayo lanzaréis vuestro nuevo single "Entertain You". ¿Cómo y por qué habéis tomado la decisión de cambiar vuestra dinámica de trabajo y sacar  tres singles por año para concluir con el lanzamiento de un posible disco nuevo?

Sharon.- Cuando estás componiendo en casa estás muy emocionada con los temas que vas  sacando y tienes muchas ganas de que los escuche la gente, pero, desde que compones el primer tema, tienes que esperar como dos años hasta que sacas el disco. El rollo es que quieres compartir los temas inmediatamente, tocarlos en directo, así que pensamos en cambiar la forma de trabajar, ya se hace en otros géneros musicales, así que ahora hemos decidido probar nosotros. Para ellos funciona, así que nosotros vamos a intentarlo y ver como nos va.

– ¿Y, que plazos de lanzamiento habrá para el resto de los singles?

Sharon.- "Entertain You" es la primera canción que vamos a editar. En octubre o noviembre empezamos a grabar maquetas y a reunir ideas, las grabamos entre enero y febrero y tuvimos la sesión de fotos en marzo. Como poco después se cerró todo por el Coronavirus y se suspendió la gira, así que decidimos empezar a sacar las canciones en mayo. Ya estábamos pensando tocar algunos de estos temas en directo en verano, y aunque ya no va a haber conciertos en verano, hemos decidido seguir adelante con el plan. Así también podemos ofrecer algo a los fans. No tenemos unos plazos concretos, este año saldrán unas pocas y el año que viene otras.

– ¿Y para la edición del álbum completo?

Sharon.- Pues respecto al disco no estamos seguros de cuando saldrá, dependerá también un poco de como se vayan desarrollando las cosas con todo este rollo del Coronavirus.

– ¿Que nos puedes anticipar del resto del material que tenéis compuesto o tenéis ideas?

Sharon.- La verdad es que las canciones que hemos compuesto hasta ahora son muy diferentes unas de otras. El próximo single va a ser también muy distinto, y creo que esa será la línea general. Va a estar bien ver como reacciona la gente.

En cualquier caso solo tenemos dos temas totalmente terminados, el tercero está muy avanzado pero de momento solo es una maqueta, así que aún es difícil decir por donde van a ir los tiros. Respecto al siguiente single yo creo que va a sonar más metal, y el tercero… tendrás que esperar, no quiero desvelarlo todo demasiado pronto (risas). En cualquier caso las características principales de WITHIN TEMPTATION siempre estarán ahí, para mí somos como un camaleón, cambiamos algunas tonalidad, pero el núcleo nunca desaparece.

– He podido escuchar "Entertain You". Suena a lo que últimamente una banda como vosotros, -que evoluciona disco a disco-, es capaz de ofrecer. Lo primero que te tengo que preguntar es sobre la voz masculina que inicia el tema, ¿quién es?

Sharon.- Estábamos buscando quien podía hacer las voces masculinas y teníamos un poco un problema, porque era muy difícil encontrar al alguien que pudiera hacerlo a tiempo, así que ha sido nuestro productor el que canta. Queríamos terminar el tema lo antes posible, y para sacarlo en la fecha que queríamos eso era la última opción. Creo que han quedado muy bien, es su momento de gloria (risas).

– Háblame de la canción musicalmente, por favor.

Sharon.- Yo diría que es un desarrollo natural desde el disco "Resist". No es que encaje completamente en ese disco, creo que hay cierta evolución, pero a la vez sí que tiene nexos con ese trabajo. Queríamos meter unas guitarras un poco más sucias y darle un rollo un poco punk. Para mí es una combinación de diferentes estilos, pero a la vez no deja de ser cercana a lo que hicimos en "Resist".

– ¿Que entraña su letra?

Sharon.- La letra en una palabra habla de respeto. Hoy en día es muy fácil ridiculizar a la gente que es diferente, ya sea por su raza, orientación sexual, aspecto, etc., o a las personas que no encajan en la norma de la sociedad. Esto es algo que ha pasado siempre, pero creo que sigue siendo necesario llamar la atención sobre este problema.  Sobre todo con todo lo que se ve hoy en día en las redes sociales.

– ¿Qué tienes que decir de tu trabajo como vocalista en "Entertain You"?

Sharon.- He grabado las voces en mi casa y esta vez he trabajado con un mezclador diferente, alguien que creo que ha sabido tratar mi voz mejor que nunca. Estoy muy contenta, en el pasado había veces que teníamos tantas voces grabadas que era muy complicado aunarlas todas en una frecuencia. Además con mi tipo de voz es especialmente difícil hacerlo sin perder rango y sin perder presencia, pero esta vez cuando escuché el resultado el final me quedé alucinada porque me pareció realmente bueno. Diría que por primera vez estoy totalmente satisfecha con mi voz, suena más gorda, más cruda y creo que por primera vez me escucho a mí de verdad.

– ¿Y del resto de tus compañeros en el grupo?

Sharon.- Obviamente todos han grabado en sus casas porque Stefan Helleblad vive en Suecia, y todos tienen su propio estudio en casa. También ha vendido bien con todo este rollo del Coronavirus. Por supuesto lo suyo es reunirse porque está bien hablar las cosas, pero hemos tenido la suerte de poder hacerlo así.

– Alrededor del lanzamiento, habéis ideado unos maquillajes, unos filtros que cualquiera de vuestros seguidores puede optar por aplicarse. ¿Por qué y cómo se os ocurrió?

Sharon.- Para nosotros poner a ese chaval ha sido como una manera de mostrar como se está expresando. El tema habla de expresar tu propia identidad, y es una manera para que los fans puedan identificarse interpretando a su manera la portada.

– ¿Veremos a la banda en directo con esta caracterización en el futuro?

Sharon.- No, esto solo va a ser para el single.

– Vuestro último álbum "Resist", aparecido el 1 de febrero de 2019, ¿cómo ha funcionado hasta el momento? Hay quien opina que marca una nueva era para la banda…

Sharon.- Yo también creo que es así. Cuando empezamos a hacer música teníamos como 16 o 17 años, y no sacamos el primer disco hasta los 22 años. Ese sonido era algo que de verdad nos gustaba hacer y habíamos estado mucho tiempo desarrollándolo, pero la banda siempre ha seguido evolucionando y no queríamos limitarnos a cuando empezamos. Las cosas cambian, y la banda también quiere cambiar porque encontramos cosas nuevas que nos inspiran. Por eso creo que "Resist" ha sido un disco crucial en nuestra carrera, porque siempre intentamos reinventarnos un poco a nosotros mismos y para eso la música es ideal. Cuando compones algo que es renovador para ti es como una especie de droga, la música en nuestra droga, nos da ese subidón, y nos gusta experimentar y mostrar diferentes colores de la banda.

– A muchos fans el álbum les ha encantado, sin embargo, hay quien piensa que le falta algo para terminar de convencer plenamente; más temas con gancho, melodías más pegadizas…No sé… Es un buen disco, pero no un gran disco. ¿Qué opinas al respecto?

Sharon.- Bueno, eso siempre depende de la perspectiva de cada uno. Cuando compones un disco siempre piensas que es lo mejor que has hecho, si no, no lo meterías en el disco obviamente. Siempre hay canciones que te gustan más que otras, esas son las que tocamos en directo, pero de nuevo eso es algo que va con cada uno. A mí el disco me sigue gustando mucho y no hay ni un solo tema en él en el que no crea. Está claro que hay unas canciones mejores que otras, pero a nivel de disco me parece un gran álbum. También es posible que haya canciones que a mí me gusten menos y que sean las favoritas de los fans, pero también así es como debería ser.

– En "Resist" habláis del mundo en el que vivimos hoy, donde todo gira alrededor de Internet y falta la privacidad que teníamos hace años cuando no había redes sociales y había suficientes leyes para proteger nuestra intimidad….

Sharon.- Sí, es algo que nos preocupa mucho y hablamos mucho de ese tema en el disco. Afortunadamente parece que la gente está más atenta a esas cosas, y que se da cuenta de lo rápido que nos está atrapando la tecnología. También me alegra ver que algunos gobiernos están dando un paso al frente a la hora de proteger a la gente de las grandes compañías, porque a veces parece que esas compañías ejercen mucha presión sobre los gobiernos, y eso es algo que me asusta mucho. Los gobiernos son los que puedan cambiar eso, quitar poder a esas compañías, y por suerte, al menos en los Países Bajos están haciendo algo. En cualquier caso es difícil porque queremos tener esa economía abierta y a la vez proteger a la gente, así que es una línea delgada.

– Muchos echamos de menos más participación en el grupo de tu esposo Robert Westerholt. Ya en anteriores entrevistas me dijiste que él participa en la banda, pero de forma menos activa y que solo aparecería en algún concierto muy concreto. ¿Esto va a seguir siendo así?

Sharon.- Bueno, el sigue involucrado en la banda a nivel de composición, de diseños y todo eso, la verdad es que lo único que no hace es salir al escenario con nosotros. Tenemos una familia juntos y esta es la única manera de mantener al grupo, somos una banda que toca mucho y esta es la única forma de seguir adelante.

– Este verano ibais a tocar aquí en España junto a IRON MAIDEN, pero los británicos han pospuesto su concierto hasta junio de 2021, ¿Cómo ser vuestra actuación? ¿Será igual que la íbamos a ver este verano a pesar de que queda más de un año?

Sharon.- Bueno, habrá más canciones de las que vamos a sacar este año y el que viene. Será un repertorio con más canciones nuevas. Por supuesto habrá canciones antiguas… como siempre intentaremos hacer una buena mezcla. Tenemos muchas ganas de tocar cosas nuevas y también de tocar con IRON MAIDEN.

– También teníais una gira europea con EVANESCENCE que obviamente se ha visto igualmente aplazada…

Sharon.- Pues eso se había pospuesto para septiembre, pero hoy hemos sabido que el gobierno de los Países Bajos ha decidido que no habrá grandes eventos en el país hasta que no haya una vacuna, así que aquí no se va a poder hacer nada. Esperábamos tocar en septiembre, pero es muy posible que eso no sea realista. Queríamos hacerlo para comienzos del año próximo, pero hay que tener en cuenta que hay un montón de banda que también quieren tocar y va a estar difícil pillar salas, así que será para finales del año que viene.

– ¿Cómo quieres despedir la entrevista de cara a los fans?

Sharon.- Pues decir que España es un sitio muy cercano a mí porque tenemos familia allí, amigos, la gente es maravillosa y es un gran sitio. Espero que estéis todos bien, siento mucho vuestras pérdidas y esperamos poder visitaros lo antes posible.

It was all supposed to kick off April 2020, the big “Worlds Collide Tour”, the co-headlining tour of Dutch rock band Within Temptation and American metal Evanescence. Unfortunately, due to the worldwide outbreak of the Corona Virus, the two bands were forced to reschedule their massive European tour to later that year, September 2020. Now the world is slowly getting out of their lockdown, will the rescheduled tour take place in the original rescheduled dates, or will this tour be rescheduled once more?

The Worlds Collide Tour story

Both bands are loved by millions of rock and metal fans all over the world and a possible collaboration was asked for years. In 2019, both bands hinted to something upcoming at the same times. Fans were excited the bands were finally collaborating on something, even though it was yet uncertain what the bands were about to do.

The first time the band members of both bands met was at a live show of Evanescence in 2018. At this moment, Evanescence singer Amy Lee explored the Within Temptation songs. The two bands met again at a Swiss festival on which both bands were scheduled to perform, at this festival the two bands agreed a tour together was a great idea. On 17 September 2019, the bands finally revealed their “Worlds Collide Tour”, which was originally scheduled for start April 2020. Passing through seven European countries.

COVID-19 Rescheduled Tour

Due to the massive outbreak of the COVID-19 Virus worldwide, the two bands were forced to reschedule their tour to a later time. They chose to reschedule all dates – except for the Frankfurt one – to September 2020. The Hamburg show got a venue upgrade, now to be performed at the Barclaycard Arena. However, how certain are the two bands the “Worlds Collide Tour” can take place this September?

The future according to specialists is very uncertain. Massive events, such as festivals and indoor concerts are possible to be rescheduled or canceled until there is a worldwide vaccin. On 14 June 2020, the CEO of Belgians biggest venue group, Sportpaleis Groep, Jan Van Esbroeck announced all big events and concerts will most likely not take place until 2021, when there’s a vaccin.

News brought to light that concerts in Germany, of which most of the “Worlds Collide Tour” will be, will be forced to be cancelled or removed until the end of October 2019.
“Worlds Collide Tour” in 2021

As of 18 June, the official Evanescence site shows an empty ‘Upcoming shows’-section and as of 19 June 2020, the “Worlds Collide Tour”-page also appears without a trace of any event dates. With this information, we can say both bands are now looking into rescheduling their collaboration tour onwards to 2021. An official announcement is yet to be made.

The new dates:

    08 September 2021: Zurich, Switzerland
    09 September 2021: Milan, Italy
    11 September 2021: Berlin, Germany

    22 September 2021: Munich, Germany
    24 September 2021: Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg
    26 September 2021: Frankfurt, Germany
    27 September 2021: Brussels, Belgium

Within Temptation's Sharon den Adel was the latest guest on Full Metal Jackie's weekend radio program. The singer discussed the band's most recent single, "Entertain You," which reflects on certain aspects of modern society, also revealing that social matters of today will be the source of lyrical inspiration for the group's eventual follow-up to last year's Resist album.

Prior to releasing Resist, Within Temptation were at a crossroads, as was den Adel, who contemplated the balance of her life and its relation to her personal ambitions and the next 20 years.

Read the full chat below.

There was great anticipation for your European tour with Evanescence, then, of course, coronavirus shut everything down. Mentally, how did you cope with the disappointment?

It makes it easy that everyone is in the same kind of situation. I've always found it difficult to put my mind on something that I'm going to do and then have changes, but this is just something you have to accept.

What makes it easier is the fact that there's no other option than accepting it, and everyone else is in the same kind of position. It's very insecure because you don't know when you can eventually tour.

The tour with Evanescence has been postponed but I'm not sure if it's going to be fitting now that we have it scheduled for this September. I think it's too early. Those kinds of things makes it a very restless, unsure period of time. [Editor's Note: The tour has now been pushed to 2021. Dates and ticketing info here]

There's an unsettling quality to the video for the new single, "Entertain You." What needs to be taken into consideration when your instigating emotional reactions?

I'm not sure everybody gets what it's about... In the video what we are trying to portray is the storyline, which is using people for entertainment. It's a little bit of and us-and-them kind of situation that they're creating which is wrong in our opinion.

People are different — they have a different belief, different colors of skin or anything that maybe is different from the majority in a way. That's what we're trying to portray with the song.

With the video, it was easier to make the story better. Two kids are fighting with each other and the idea behind it that they're being watched by cameras. People are watching outside so they are betting — using other people for your own entertainment. The reason for this video is the fact we saw all the videos going viral of people being harassed because they are different, so we thought maybe we can bring this back to a storyline for a video and that's what we tried to do here.

"Entertain You," it's a standalone track. What does writing a song without the overall context of an album allow you to do?

It's the first time that we've done this. What it allows us to do is to be more in the moment. If you write a song, you release it now that you can do it. You're not waiting a long time to put it on the album which can be released two or three years later.

It feels like maybe you want to change things already, or maybe you didn't think the song even fit on the album, and if it's the first song you write, and you're going to write a lot more songs... It might feel outdated. But it feels good for now and it'll be on the radio for a few months as a single or whatever we want to with it.

Sharon, prior to the last album, Resist, your creativity was challenged by the emotions brought on by illness and loss. What scared you most about an inability to create new music?

What happened between Hydra and Resist was the fact that I was a little bit at a dead-end in different ways. I didn't know where to take it musically with the band — not just me, but everybody in the band. What's going to be the next musical step? We've been doing this for such a long time.

Another thing was I've spent my whole adult life in Within Temptation, so I felt like I needed a balance — is this something I want to do another 20 years? Or, do I want to do something different?

My dad got very sick at the time and I wanted to be more with him. I also realized time goes so much faster than you sometimes realize and you miss out on people that you love too much  — all kinds of celebrations you need to be at, or exams, or graduations, those kinds of things. I needed more balance with my family life and the band. Most of the time, everything went to the band. It's a bit of a rollercoaster you're in. Everything all together was very emotional for me so I felt blocked. That's the worst thing that could have happened to me.

Music is the best thing — family, health, those kinds of things more important, but music is the first thing after that to me. It's a way for me to express myself and deal with life. So when I wasn't able to write for myself, I felt very suffocated somehow — A lot of pressure.

To take the pressure off, I decided to take some distance from Within Temptation and just do something totally different with the hope that I might come back with ideas for Within Temptation. I told the rest of the band to do the same and take a break from everyone because I didn't see us playing for a while or recording anything at the moment. So I did my own personal project, called My Indigo, which is totally different from Within Temptation.

I did learn from that process a lot. I dealt with a lot of feelings that I needed to deal with that I couldn't put into Within Temptation. Eventually, I did get space again in my head and my heart for Within Temptation to create.

Your life leading up to Resist was reflected in that album. What might the next album reflect about your life today?

Well we've only written "Entertain You" for the next album, which we only recorded two songs for and we have a lot of demos - but a lot of inspiration comes from daily — the things you read in the news, the things you see on social media, there's so much to write about.

This new album that will be about social matters I think, like "Entertain You" is. With Resist it was about your privacy laws and those kinds of things. A lot of things are changing in the world and we should be more aware of it. We are in our own rollercoaster and things are going fine, but sometimes you need to take a look at the bigger picture. Maybe a lot of people do that, but I know a lot folks only focus on music. For me, that was a very important source of inspiration and it will be for the next album.

About the song
 
"’Shed My Skin’ revolves around dealing with inevitable changes in life. It is about becoming the person we are meant to be, even if that means losing people we love, but have grown apart from. Real growth begins where comfort zones end and that’s exactly what the song is all about: if we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living,” - Sharon.

Hi there!

You all know we are absolute heroes in rescheduling dates and now we’ve reached a new milestone: our shortest postponement in our career so far! We’re working very hard on our VR-event, but as it’s something we’ve never done before – and definitely something you have never SEEN before, we sometimes experience a few hick-ups in the process that are completely new to us and the crew.
 
To smooth everything out and create the best possible, spectacular and mythical experience for you, we’ve decided to postpone ‘The Aftermath – A Show In A Virtual Reality’ from July 8 & 9 to July 15 (EU) & 16 (USA). It’s only one week and we know that it’ll be worth the short wait. We truly can't wait for you to see it. Check out the official trailer below!

    Tickets purchased for the original dates are automatically valid for the new dates.
    Not available on the new dates? No problem! You can re-watch the show for 48 hours after the start.
    Event merchandise will be sent shortly after the show.

Get your tickets here.

Dutch symphonic metal legends Within Temptation have been quite busy as of late. The band recently held an impressive virtual reality stream event, which was unlike anything we’ve seen before. Along with ‘The Aftermath – A Show In A Virtual Reality,’ the band has also released a brand new single, ‘Shed My Skin,” featuring German metalcore act, Annisokay. I caught up with frontwoman Sharon Den Adel, to talk about the recent stream, the new single, and what the band has planned in terms of a new album, and going on tour.

Thanks for speaking with me, Sharon. You’re coming off the release of your event, ‘The Aftermath, A Show In Virtual Reality’, which has been getting a lot of praise. How have you felt about the feedback you’ve been received?

A lot of fans seemed to have liked it. The technology is something new. It’s only the tip of the iceberg that we touched. And it looks a little bit like a game crossed with a music video. It being a show, it did not look as flashy as, say, some of our music videos. Which most people understood, but some didn’t. It’s a new technology after all .I was really happy to see that a lot of people did get the idea behind it, and how we made the show.

The show had to be postponed briefly, and during the filming, did you encounter many technical hurdles?

It was something that we were afraid of that might happen. That was also why the show was prerecorded because we didn’t want to have the show stopped halfway because the data might not have been managed. So that’s why we prerecorded it.

But we still had a lot of technical difficulties because we are pioneering here. After all, it’s a new program. Everybody does it in their own way, and it’s only been out recently. There’s only one other, a Dutch dance event, who did it the way we did as well. And because of so many multi-cameras and all this imagery that’s behind them to canalize the data, it’s a big process. And when something goes wrong, you have to start over again. So there are a lot of technical things that can go wrong, and it takes a lot of time to process.

Fans like to try and immerse themselves as much as they can into streamed content because live shows are something that we all missed, and we miss the feeling of being there. But how difficult is it as a performer to get some of those feelings when there’s no audience to feed off of, and you’re surrounded by green screens?

It’s difficult because you have to really imagine the audience there. But we did have the crew there trying to get me into that vibe, applauding and stuff like that. But it of course, it’s different. I also knew that I had to do it in a very short amount of time. We did it in one day, like the recordings of everyone and all band members.

So it was like, okay, you have one shot, and you better do it well, and immediately go into that vibe as if you are on stage. So you really have to use your imagination a little bit. But I was really happy that people would be watching this, and keeping that in mind is what got me through it.
Within Temptation – The Aftermath – A Show In Virtual Reality

Something the band is notorious for is performing with these elaborate stage setups, beautiful wardrobes, and stunning visuals. How important was the storytelling aspect of the show, and who came up with the idea of the post-apocalyptic theme?

Robert was really working on that, and I worked with it as well. We’ve seen so many doomsday kind of films over the years. These big, epic movies and stuff. So that was the inspiration, especially coming from a pandemic and talking about where is the world going, and how we living in it.

There was the inspiration from that. It’s something that’s an ongoing process. We also have the Silent Force album; we were inspired very much by that theme, especially because a lot of things were happening in the world at that time as well, as it is now.

How did you go about choosing a setlist for this show? Of course, there was new material, but did you select songs on storytelling aspects to match the overall apocalyptic theme?

Yes, that’s the case because we felt like if you’re telling a story, you need to find the right songs to back it up and give that atmosphere. It also helped that we’ve also had a lot of songs in the past touching this theme. I think it’s also nice for the ones who bought a tickets to see some older songs. Songs that we haven’t played for a long time, like for instance, ‘Forsaken’, which is really an old and golden song from the Silent Force album.

Fans were greeted with many surprises and big moments, but personally for you, what was your favorite moment from the show? And what song did you enjoy playing the most?

The song that registers for me is ‘Shed My Skin”. For the vocal nerd that I am, it’s nice to go from really high to really low. And it’s a real challenge for a singer. So I was really happy to put that song in the setlist.

And very well done too! It was great to see Tarja again; what was it like working with her and getting her to make an appearance for the event?

We always keep in contact with each other, and it’s always an easy connection to make with each other. And we’ve always worked really well with each other, and it’s always fun to work with her. She’s somebody who goes really for the music and is passionate about it. It’s really nice working with her, always.

I’ve always had contact with her throughout the year, and it’s always great, but this time it was not face-to-face. We had a camera crew go to Spain so she could be recorded there. She was very busy with a lot of other stuff as well. So that was the best way to record her live.

Speaking of collaborations, your most recent single, which we’ve talked about, ‘Shed My Skin,’ has a bit of a metalcore twist, and you appropriately collaborated with metalcore act, Annisokay for the song. How did the collaboration come about? And did you specifically write this song for the collaboration?

It’s more that we are always interested in bands who are new and who bring a new sound to the scene. This was a sound we’ve never noticed before. Not for Annisokay, but the metalcore scene was just something that we didn’t listen to much. So for us, it was kind of a new sound with a new vibe, and one of the bands that we like was Annisokay.

And we felt like, okay, let’s approach them and see if they are interested in doing a song with us. And we had already written it. Everything was finished, but they were able to do their own interpretation, but they stayed close to what we had written. It was really fun to work with them.

They are very talented guys, they are very melodic with their music and that’s something that we always like as well. Because we wanted to bring something heavy with the guitars and everything in the music, but we also wanted to bring out a lot of melodies, and that’s something that they do with metalcore.

So we wrote the music and thought it would be cool to approach a band that comes from that scene. And they were our favorites, so we called them and they were really cool and very down to earth and easy people to work with. So yeah, I was happy to meet them and work with them.

Do you enjoy working with other styles of metal and sub-genres, and do you think you’ll do more in the future?

We’ve always done that throughout the years. I think we’re a typical kind of band who likes orchestras and epic kinds of sounds. Throughout our career, we have worked with so many different people. Mina Caputo of Life of Agony, Papa Roach, and some Polish artists. It’s not always people that everybody knows. Sometimes it’s a singer-songwriter, sometimes it’s from totally different kinds of genres that people would not expect from us. But it’s just that some people you really admire or a style that you think is so beautiful that you want to integrate it into your own music. And we’ve always done that in our own way.

Do you plan on releasing any more new music this year, and when can we expect a new album?

We are planning to do maybe one more song this year if things turn out the way we want them to. And, hopefully, at the end of next year, we have a new album out, so we’re working hard trying to manage everything that we have in mind and trying to release new singles every few months. That’s a new idea that we want to try, releasing a new song every three or four months. And so far, we have managed to do that. We’ll see if we can keep it up. You also need to have the right inspiration, of course, to write new stuff.

Are there any shows that you’ll be playing during the festival season?

We’re going to Finland next week, so I’m looking forward to that stuff first, and it’s the only summer festival this year, unfortunately. We also have one in October, which is in the Netherlands, which is also a big festival. I’m looking forward to that as well. But I’m wondering if it will be able to take place because a lot of festivals in the Netherlands have been canceled because of COVID again, unfortunately.

Otherwise, it’s just the shows that we have with Evanescence on the ‘When Worlds Collide” tour, which starts in March and in April. We also have some Russian shows in February, but we have to see how this pandemic is going to go, and where it’s gonna go.

I was just about to bring up the ‘When Worlds Collide’ tour with Evanescence. Do you think that any time in the future we might see a North American tour as well?

I hope so. I think that it’s something that’s on our list, but we don’t know when we’re going to go, because we did have some things cooking, but then the whole pandemic started. We still have to catch up with all these tours that are planed. All the tours and the festivals that we have planed are going to continue and hopefully, after that will be, we will come your way.

We would love to have you guys here. We’re really excited for the upcoming single and the ‘When Wolrds Collide tour,” Which I think is going to happen because everything is opening back up. I just shot my first huge festival here. I travel all over, and there are festivals opening up all over here. So I think that we will be the world stage in seeing how things go in terms of these big festivals if they continue or get postponed due to COVID.

Yeah, I totally understand. And I would love to come to America again, it’s been a while!

We can’t wait to have you guys here, and thank you for speaking with me, Sharon, do you have anything else that you would like to add or say to the fans.

***Worlds Collide Tour Update***
As the world is slowly reopening again, we have been feeling optimistic about the tour actually taking place in March and April. However - a lot of countries still have restrictions in place, and we are forced to make a decision right now for logistical reasons.
We are aware that many fans are preparing to make their plans to attend the shows, some of which involve travel, and given the uncertainty as to exactly when certain countries will lift their restrictions, we are left with no choice but to reschedule the tour, hopefully for the final time. We expect to be able to announce the new dates in the next few days, which we anticipate will be in November and early December of this year.
All tickets, including meet & greet packages and VIP upgrades will remain valid.
We know you understand that many things are still outside of our control but we are very optimistic that we WILL be performing these shows and we kindly ask that you bear with us one more time while we arrange the tour so it can actually happen.
Stay tuned for the new dates in the next few days. We miss and love you, and we will definitely see you again. Stay safe.
Much love,
Within Temptation

'The Fire Within' on 7" vinyl!

When a band writes an album, it often happens that there are too many ideas to make it onto the final track list. However, those songs that fall through the cracks sometimes make a great B-side or even a single in this case.

“The Fire Within” was written back in 2019, but never made its appearance on an album. The track now finds its way to you, as we've decided to release it as a single!

" The Fire Within" will be out on December 9 and is available as CD single, 7-inch single on colored vinyl and as a CD single + 7-inch bundle.

We've only printed 666 copies of each, so be quick!

ATTENTION, SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
THE SHOW WILL GO ON 💫

After 2,5 year of rescheduling, we are beyond grateful that the Worlds Collide Tour is finally taking place. All shows have been amazing and we are so happy to see so many happy faces. However, even after the world opening up there are sometimes challenges beyond our control.

Unfortunately Amy won't be able to perform in Poland. We realize that so many people have been looking forward to this show for so long and therefore decided to continue to play our show. Smash Into Pieces will also still perform, and we both will play longer sets.

The Worlds Collide Tour is all about unity, bundling our strengths and lifting each other up. We will do all we can to still give you an amazing night. For all our fans in Poland, for Evanescence and for their fans. The show will not only be longer, but we will make sure to sprinkle all the magic and fire in the world on every song.

Gliwice, Poland: we will make it a night to remember. See you tonight 💫

Wow, wow, wow! After 2,5 years of rescheduling, The Worlds Collide Tour has finally taken place and we couldn't have wished for a better tour.

Within Temptation capped off 2022 with some of the most spectacular live shows in the band’s history, bringing out the kind of stage production that would make Iron Maiden proud. Now their sights are set on finishing their as-yet untitled eighth studio album – and as vocalist Sharon den Adel tells Hammer, their ambitions have only grown after their recent experiences.

“It’s about 85% done,” Sharon says. “We want to take the time to go over the songs, change some bits and maybe get a bit experimental. The songs that we’ve written are already very different to what we’ve done before, so…”

One thing we know for sure is that the five singles the band have released thus far aren’t part of their vision for what comes next.

 “Originally we thought they could fit together and make a new album, but over time we wrote in ways that didn’t really fit with where we wanted to go next,” Sharon admits. Which raises the question, where are they going?
RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU...

“With [2019 album] Resist we started using new sounds and that’s something we want to explore. The band Enigma were revolutionary for me growing up and had these atmospheric vibes across an entire album, so that’s something we want to do, but in our own way.”

Teaming back up with long-time producer Daniel Gibson, Sharon already sees the new album as being the most ambitious in Within Temptation’s career.

“We want to use a lot of string sounds,” she explains. “But something more like you’d hear in the 80s – the kind you might hear on a soundtrack. It’s going to be very filmic. We’re entering a new era – not only with things happening around the world, but also musically.”

Although the album’s largely written, Sharon admits she doesn’t know how it will shape up just yet – or if any high-profile guests might pop up.

“I love collaborating because other people always add something magical,” she says. “Sometimes you get this realisation like, ‘Oh, they’d be great on this’ and that helps shape the song, but it’s always spur of the moment.”

Given they recently supported Iron Maiden in the US, could one of British metal’s finest be popping up on the record? Sharon diplomatically swerves the question. “Iron Maiden are so young at heart, with so much love and enthusiasm for music,” she says. “Steve Harris came and watched us every night even though it was basically the same set. I hope I can be him in 20 years!”

Within Temptation, the renowned Dutch symphonic metal band, are set to captivate fans with their eighth studio album Bleed Out on October 20, 2023.

Bleed Out signifies a bold leap forward for the band. From contemporary, hard-hitting djenty riffs to soaring melodies displaying their symphonic roots, Within Temptation have created a sonic journey that fuses diverse musical styles and thought-provoking themes. This is an album that is as epic as it is unflinchingly outspoken, and now more than ever, this is a band who aren’t afraid to make a stand on issues they care about. Within Temptation have delivered a fist-in-the-air proclamation of both their moral convictions and their fearless approach to music.

Bleed Out is available as a 1CD housed in a deluxe 6-page digipack with 3D lenticular cover and includes a 20-page booklet with lyrics.
