Led by the ethereal Sharon den Adel, Dutch icon Within Temptation has spent over two decades proving that the greatest power lies in contrast. Their perfect balance between gothic beauty and metallic fury has propelled the band to the top of the scene. Albums like The Silent Force (2004) and The Heart of Everything (2007) have become legendary, securing them platinum records across the globe.
A true experience are their live performances, which are always perfected. It is not only the dramatic lighting and professional pyrotechnics that make them almost a cinematic spectacle.
On their latest album, Bleed Out (2024), the band embarks on an uncompromising protest against injustice and horrors in the world. The album is a kind of loud mirror of the times we currently live in. Within Temptation remain poetic about it, but their message is more urgent than ever.
