The Official Within Temptation thread!

I've just heard Within Temptation's new single What Have You Done and whoa! its brilliant! so brilliant that I've decided Within Temptation deserve their own thread :D

Within Temptation
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Everything.jpg
New Album! The Heart Of Everything

FROM WIKIPEDIA

Quote:

The Heart of Everything is the fourth full-length studio album by the Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation, to be released in March, 2007. The track "What Have You Done" will be the first single for the album, and is due for release in January, 2007. In addition to lead singer Sharon den Adel, the track features guest singer Keith Caputo from hard rock American band Life of Agony.

TRACKLISTING (found on wikipedia)

Quote:

1. "The Howling"
2. "What Have You Done" (feat. Keith Caputo)
3. "Frozen"
4. "The Heart of Everything"
5. "All I Need"
6. "Our Solemn Hour"
7. "Hand of Sorrow"
8. "The Cross"
9. "Final Destination"
10. "Forgiven"
11. "The Truth Beneath the Rose"
12. "Stand My Ground" (Bonustrack from The Silent Force, intended for U.S. release)

so are there any Within Temptation fans around? if you're a fan of evanescence or any of those female-fronted bands, i'd suggest you give WT a listen! (and no, i'm not saying that WT is the same as evanescence, i'm saying they're in a similar genre of music ;) )

I keep hearing about these people...almost enough to bring on insanity. LOL, I'm gonna try them out whenever I get the chance. Hopefully they are better than Evane. They're really starting to get on my nerves...The Open Door was a waste of my time. *sorry Evane fans but it was to me*

I have heard their songs!! I love "See who I am" and "Memories" the most!!

I want to hear their new album!! *searches* 8D

emi♡	15th January 2007 06:13 AM

I can't believe there's a thread about them, I don't know really who they are, but martin sent me a song by them the other day and it was great!

(of course, it wasn't as good as martin singing it :laugh)

their new album isn't out yet! Wikipedia says it should be released in March this year (fingers crossed for a leak in February)
i don't even think the single has been officially released (it should be released later this month)... but i found a torrent that has the single edit and a "rock mix" -- basically the same song, but less orchestral... if you get what i mean

@ Aisha_Angel: i gotta agree, the open door was nowhere near as good as fallen... but it does have its good moments. if you're interested in giving WT a listen, i suggest Stand My Ground, Memories, Somewhere, and It's The Fear

EDIT: I just found another song from their new album -- The Howling. this song is being used as the theme for some game called The Howling... or so i believe. This is the official The Howling website. you have to register to be able to view the howling video -- it's a mix of sharon singing and images from the game. this song is great too, but i prefer what have you done
if you're looking for an mp3 of this *cough* - look for the rare audio section ;)

15th January 2007 03:57 PM

Wow, finally a new album? I've been listening to them a bit on and off, really much for a short while. The song I sent you was "Say My Name", emi.

Need to check this album out.

We are pirates.

The first song I heard by WT was "The Swan Song", and I completely fell in love. They're awesome. It was so cool to hear "Stand My Ground" in the Blood & Chocolate trailer. :D

I fricking love Within Temptation. They're touring the UK soon, I might try and steal up some tickets. XD w00t. My favourite songs are "Jane Doe", "Stand My Ground", "Somewhere", "Caged", "Mother Earth", "Our Farewell" and "Destroyed" <3

@ immel: i'm pretty impressed with Keith Caputo's vocals too -- i usually don't like rock/metal songs with both a guy and girl singing -- because the guy usually growls and ruins the song. but keith sounds great in the song!

Tasked

16th January 2007 02:14 PM

yeaah! A Dutch band!! they're pretty popular here and they've got awesome music. They do have a style somewhat similar to Evanescence, but Within' Temption has more non-rock (read: ballads). Also, the song "In perfect harmony" uses the same melody as Loreena McKennitt's song "The Lady of Shalott"

My favourite WT-track are: Stand my Ground, Ice Queen, In perfect harmony, Neverending story, Running up that hill.

I've honestly never heard of them. But that pic in your sig looks really awesome. I've never played the howling, but I've wanted it ever since it came out. :laugh it came out a while ago. :laugh

27th January 2007 03:20 AM

I guess I need to try other WT songs. The only one I've heard is their cover of Running up That Hill and I wasn't impressed. I don't think her vocals were really "on" in that song. I'll be fair and try other songs of theirs. It's kind of hard to cover a Kate song and make it your own (without trying to reach the higher vocals she does). Does anyone have any suggestions of other songs I should try?

spookshow

27th January 2007 06:51 AM

^ you're right, WT's cover of RUTH isn't their best stuff (placebo do a much better cover imo)

i suggest you listen to stand my ground, memories, it's the fear -- those are some of my WT favourites, also their new single what have you done is great

xiaou-xijiang

28th January 2007 12:05 AM

well from sampling their music (i.e. all their albums besides Mother Earth or something) I like the songs on The Force (is that right, I'm just going off the top of my head...) better than their first album. And The Dance EP was just horrendous. I didn't like it at all. But I love memories, Aquarius and Angel. Her voice is really nice to listen to.

Jettles

28th January 2007 12:47 AM

*runs up that building*

There are few Within Temptation songs I like, don't listen to them that much anymore but I went through a bit of a phase.
Within Temptation IMO is kind of like a shittier version of Nightwish :P
But that doesn't mean they're bad either, just not as good...heh.

Calico

28th January 2007 02:49 AM

I've heard a couple of songs (the one I remember is Angels) from watching Sims 2 music videos. (Seriously, the Angels one was amazing) After that I watched some of their real videos. That was a while ago and have since forgotten about them. I'll have to check them out. XD

spookshow

29th January 2007 01:55 AM

finally! the video for what have you done has emerged!

i love the setting/scenery but i don't like the filming -- it's too fast for me to spot the details (aka i wanted a better look at sharon's gorgeous white dress! ;) )

one of the bands entering for Finland in this year's eurovision has entered with a song that sounds way too much like WT's Jillian, that everyone is calling for the chick to use another song.

Quote:

WITHIN TEMPTATION put in a 911 call - 29.01.2007
Call the Feds! The Finnish Eurovision entry for 2007 has stolen Within Temptation's 'Jilian'?

YLE (the Finnish Broadcasting Society) will decide today, with the help of several music professionals and composers, if "Tietäjä", KATRA's qualified entry for the Finnish final, is a copy of "Jillian (I'd Give My Heart)" by WITHIN TEMPTATION, released in 2004. The case was in the air already before Saturday's second semifinal in Finland but, over the weekend, videos circulating in YouTube and various heated fan discussions in message boards have forced YLE to investigate.

"The intro is very similar. The chorus has different notes but sounds alike as well,' says Tracy Lipp, one of the authors of LAURA's "Addicted to You" back in 2002.

The composer of the song, Risto Asikainen, is planning to change the song if necessary. "We could change some notes so it won't remind of 'Jillian' at all. I heard this 'Jillian' [song] for the first time yesterday and wrote down the notes for both songs. Based on those, it is not a copy. Both songs use the clichés of classical music. After Bach there hasn't been anything new in that field." He says he studied the NIGHTWISH songs well to avoid any speculation but he wasn't prepared for this WITHIN TEMPTATION song. Many people after hearing both songs compare them to CARL ORFF's classic work "Carmina Burana" from the 1930s.

"The two songs do sound similar at times," says YLE's Timo Suomi. "We have invited several field professionals to a meeting today and if they think it is plagiarism, 'Tietäjä' will be replaced by KATRA's other song, 'Vaaratar'. I don't think Asikainen should change the notes of the song, it would confuse the voters more than if the song were replaced altogether. Also the rules state the melody of the song itself cannot be changed, only the lyrics and arrangement."

www.roadrunnerrecords.com.au/news/

you can listen to the song here (YT). to me it sounds way too similar to just be 'coincidence', and the chick looks way too much like she's trying to become Tarja from Nightwish (until she was booted out). I think that she should be made to sing another song, because that song sounds way too much like Jillian to me

OK, I've been kind of intrigued by this band for a little while because of spookshow's set, but I just listened to some of their songs today and OMG so good. My friend showed me a really awesome LOTR music video with their song Pale in it and we both got obsessed with it because it's like...so perfect for LOTR~ I've been poking around YT and so far I liked Memories and Stand My Ground also.

spookshow

17th February 2007 08:40 AM

aaah the power of sigs and avatars... :D great to hear i've introduced someone to WT - because they're brilliant!

i'm still waiting for the album to leak! so far only the heart of everything, all i need, our solemn hour, the howling & WHYDN have leaked/surfaced. also the b-side Blue Eyes has leaked. And so far, this album sounds great! my favourites so far are Blue Eyes & Our Solemn Hour -- which reminds me a bit of Evanescence's 'Whisper' with the use of a choir singing latin phrases... man i'm so excited! can't wait for the rest of the album

and if anyone wants to know where i found these tracks: this is a good place to start your search ;)

Kashoku

18th February 2007 01:55 PM

I've been a long time WT fan and so far this album rocks. Our Solemn Hour brings tears to my eyes....Has anyone actually caught that it is Winston Churchill saying the thigns in the background and that it is a WWII song??

Anyways, I defiantly can't wait for the album. It is a shame that Finland's eurovision entry is doing this! I LOVE THE FINNISH PEOPLE! They need to enter Lordi again hahaa!

19th February 2007 08:32 AM

Did you guys hear the previews to the songs? They're AWESOME! If you didn't i'll upload them. I'm so looking forward to:

Frozen
Hand of Sorrow
Final Destination
The Cross
The Truth Beneath the Rose
Forgiven...

Waa I mentioned them all

Here they are:

1. http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/deta...me/rsk/hitlist <--- Just listen to them in the player or download them

2. http://www.sendspace.com/file/5i6hwp <--- These are better. WOW.

Yes. They're different. Also have you guys heard the first five tracks off the album?
The Howling
WHYD
Our Solemn Hour
The Heart of Everything
All I Need

I have them all if you guys need ;)

immel

22nd February 2007 06:53 PM

I don't think you're allowed to upload them here, considering the rules we have. I just listened through the previews from the sendspace one, damn, it sounds amazing. So much heavier than I'm used to hearing them, but it's also a style that I like a lot better in general. Makes me happy, and now I'm really looking forward to this.

I'm gonna keep an eye on various places for it's leak :).

The frozen on that thing isn't the one from the album. It's the Frozen by Voyage, for which Sharon recorded vocals. :(. From the previews i really want frozen.

immel

22nd February 2007 07:03 PM

Thanks for the info, when do you think it will leak?

Shouldn't it be very soon, or do you think we'll have to wait for it to reach the retailer stores before someone steals home a copy?

TedusCloud

22nd February 2007 07:06 PM

Well...It seems RRR are doing a REAAAALLLY good job in making sure it doesn't leak. I'm hoping it'll be leaked this week. Or the one after. Cos after that its basically release week.

I hope this does well sales-wise in the US too. I'm a big fan of Evanescence, WT and Nightwish and I hope the latter two can gain as much fame as Ev. They're all on equal standards.

immel

22nd February 2007 07:25 PM

I never enjoyed Evanescence very much, but I've been listening to WT quite a lot, but WT can't compare to how much I've been listening to Nightwish over the years. Well, with the sound of this album I guess there's going to be a lot more listening to WT, especially since we wont see Nw releasing anything in a good while.

TedusCloud

22nd February 2007 07:38 PM

NW I believe are going to release a single in May. Called Eva. I'll find the exact post:

Quote:

Released on May 30, 2007, “Eva” will be an internet-only single release, all profits of which shall be donated to a charity that will be announced later. In Finland, the single is available exclusively from NetAnttila.

“Eva” features the new Nightwish vocalist, chosen from about 2,000 applicants. The singer’s identity will be revealed simultaneously in a press statement and on the band’s website, www.nightwish.com, on Wednesday, May 30, 2007. A radio promo of the internet single will ship on the same day.

The sixth Nightwish album will be released on September 26, 2007, preceded by a second, regular single release in August.

immel

22nd February 2007 07:40 PM

Oh my, it was a long time ago since I checked their homepage, I didn't have a clue they finally found a new vocalist. It looked like they wouldn't be finding one any time soon.

I hope their new vocalist will be good, it wont be the same without Tarja, but I'll definitely give them a fair try.

TedusCloud

22nd February 2007 07:42 PM

It really pained me to read the open letter they gave to Tarja. I never knew Tarja could become so....I had met her once for pictures after a show which i paid a lot for >.< And she was nice...Never thought she'd end up that way after getting married

immel

22nd February 2007 07:45 PM

I wonder how much of it was actually true, considering Tarja was never given the chance of replying publicly, I think? They could just make it sound like whatever so that they could get away with kicking her. But no matter how much of it is true they obviously had troubles in the band, troubles enough to kick the front figure. It'll probably hurt their sales a lot, unless the new one is something awesome.

TedusCloud

22nd February 2007 07:49 PM

Ah well...I'm anticipating Eva a lot. Finally a new release!

immel

22nd February 2007 07:53 PM

Any new release from a band you enjoy is always great :). I just hope Sonata Arctica will be coming up with something new soon, since both WT and Nw is.

(just like the new Theatre of Tragedy chick who sounds similar to Liv Kristine) or will they try a new direction?

back to WT, i've refrained from downloading the previews, but i have downloaded the leaked songs, and they are very good.

TedusCloud, have you heard Blue Eyes? it's a new song - a bonus track on the WHYD single

and yes, THOE needs to leak! and soon!

as for WT, i must say this album is damn good! *sigh* my favourites (that weren't previously leaked) are The Cross and Hand of Sorrow. i'll give a full comment/review after i bask in this albums greatness a few more times :D

EDIT: is it just me, or is Hand of Sorrow based on the Robin Hobb Farseer Trilogy? the lyrics really fit the plot...
here's the lyrics: [Source: http://h1.ripway.com/onyrika/THOE/hos.htm]

Quote:

6. HAND OF SORROW

The child without a name grew up to be the hand
To watch you, to shield you, or kill on demand
The choice he made he could not comprehend
He’s got a grim secret they had to command

He’s torn between his honor and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied

So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have past toward a noble land of lies
Will all our sins be justified?

The curse of his powers tormented his life
Obeying the crown was a sinister crime
His soul was tortured by love and by pain
He surely would flee but the oath made him stay

He’s torn between his honor and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied

So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have past toward a noble land of lies
Will all our sins be justified?

Please forgive me for the sorrow
For leaving you in fear
For the dreams we had to silence
That’s all there’ll ever be
Still I’ll be the hand that saves you
Though you’ll not see that it is me

So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have past toward a noble land of lies
Will all our sins be justified?

i'm just curious because i know WT does get their songs/lyrics from stories/movies etc. in THOE, Final Destination is based on the movie, and The Truth Beneath the Rose is based on the DaVinci Code

TedusCloud

26th February 2007 02:34 PM

Hand of Sorrow is also about The DaVinci Code. She said so in a French interview on Rock Hard mag i believe. (Or was it rock one? XD)

^aaah ok. do you know what the other songs are about/based on?

Kashoku

28th February 2007 12:28 AM

All I know is that Our Solemn Hour is based off of Winston Churchill's speach during WWII....XD

But Hand of Sorrow is defiantly my favorite next to Our Solmen Hour.....I really don't like Frozen, All I Need, and THe Cross, though....

there was an interview on TMF yesterday with the band (in dutch).. Sharon wasn't there 'cause she had other stuff to do.. basically they said they see themselves as a symphonic metal band, but with the new album they tried to do some un-predictable things. Like using uncommon instruments... Oh.. And most bandmembers do NOT like the Red-Hot-Chili-Peppers... :P

Neat, a WT thread, one of my friends just introduced me to them yesterday, and I must say, they definetly alot better than I expected.

Probably unsurprising to most of you, but the song i'm addicted to is "Jillian".

yay! new wt fans! have you had a chance to listen to THOE yet? that album is gooooood -- very very good!

i don't think i have a favourite song on TSF -- when i think of my favourite song i come up with a list that is over half the album :D

currently my absolute favourite WT song has to be the cross -- i just love the way she pronounces the words in the chorus *sigh*

FINALLY got a hold of the new album. I had to wait until I was on Spring Break and could use SoulSeek.

This album is amazing. I am most definitely buying it when it comes out in the US. My favorite songs are The Howling, What Have You Done, Our Solemn Hour, and The Cross. It'll take a few more listens to decide whether or not I like this album or The Silent Force more. I'll probably still end up loving TSF more, but that's okay! It'll be a close call.

I listen to Within Temptation more than anything else these days. I have become quite the huge fan of them since a friend recommended them to me. I absolutely love "The Howling" and was very disappointed by the music video that tied in with some video game or whatever. I expected a much better music video with lyrics like that.

The songs lyrics are amazing to visualize and paints a picture of an epic battle in my head. I get goosebumps at about 4:06 into the song. That part of the song really makes the song so wonderful imo. It is such an amazing song and should have had a movie quality battle scene as a music video. The rest of the new album is excellent as well. I was scared for it after hearing lots of fans who hated it. It is different, but still the same excellent quality you would expect from Within Temptation.

I posted my review of the WT concert I went to on my mog (mog.com/milkshake), which is a bit random and unstructured (cause I was just typing whatever came into my head lol) but feel free to read it.

I'm so sad, WT is hitting Washington twice and I can't go to either of them. :cry

It would've been even worse if they were in Portland...since it looks like they're hitting the NW AFTER I go home for break.

Finally, Howling has a decent video! This one is quite like i imagined, and Sharon looks gorgeous!

I just watched them finally since I have highspeed here. I LOVED Frozen. It wasn't my favorite song on the album, but I definitely love it now thanks to the vid. Sharon was GORGEOUS. I thought the plot was distracting at first, but towards the end I was pretty interested.

Howling was okay. I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet. I guess it just doesn't match up to what I imagined.

I thought that they picked some of the worst songs on the album for the videos.

I checked out this thread the other day to see if I liked any of their songs since I've never heard them before, and after watching the videos to Frozen and All I Need, I did think they were quite good. They weren't too much like Evanescence either, which I thought they might be. I really enjoyed the video to Frozen and thought the premise was very sad.

have to agree with you there... i really didn't expect them to release All I Need... but if they can produce amazing videos (like all i need), then it's all good with me!
