The Official Within Temptation thread!

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 .

[TedusCloud]

I've been waiting for AGES!!! For the leak....

The RRR chairman sleeps with his advanced copies under his bunnie pillow at night

[immel]

If I ever become a RRR chairman in the future I promise you I will act better.

Getting the promo version right now .

[TedusCloud]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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

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]

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]

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]

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]

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

[immel]

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.

i'm pretty sure tarja did write a reply on her website -- i think i started reading it, but gave up out of sheer laziness

a new NW song sounds great! i knew they were announcing who was to be the new lead at the end of may, but i hadn't heard about the new song. i'm so curious to see what sort of voice they pick -- will she be similar to tarja? (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!

[immel]

Sitting here listening to the promo version songs right now, sounds freakin' amazing .

I really can not wait for the full album to be ripped.

[TedusCloud]

Yep I heard Blue Eyes. It's freakin' awesome...

New Previews of all the songs except frozen (waa):

Edit:- It leaaaaaked~!!! Yay!!! Frozen is LOVE...So is Hand of Sorrow...WOW....WT rocks!

[spookshow]

YEEEAHHHHH!!! it finally leaked! *hyperventilates*
