Within Temptation is a band from The Netherlands. Their early music was often described as gothic metal, however their music has evolved and now often described as symphonic metal in some media, although in an interview, Sharon den Adel said they fell into symphonic rock genre. The band consists of vocalist Sharon den Adel and her boyfriend, guitarist Robert Westerholt (both were previously in a band called Voyage), Jeroen van Veen (bass), Stephen van Haestregt (drums), Martijn Spierenburg (keyboards) and Ruud Adrianus Jolie (guitars).

Within Temptation started back in 1996 and released their first demo called

Enter. In 1997 they released their first album that was also named Enter, this album was quickly followed by an EP The Dance in 1998. Their final breakthrough was their second album, Mother Earth, released in 2000. After the somewhat failed

Our Farewell single, they broke the Dutch charts at number 2 with

Ice Queen.

In 2004 they released their third album, The Silent Force, with which they continued their shift from the darker feel of Mother Earth to a more general accesible form. Their first single from this album

Stand My Ground was an instant success, which was followed by

Memories and

Angels.

Within Temptation planned to release a new album in August 2006. At the beginning of December 2006, a new song,

The Howling, written for the PC game ‘The Chronicles of Spellborn’, was officially unveiled. (read more)
