2nd Hand Souls band members react to Within Temptation - The Purge. Link to the original video: • Within Temptation - Th... Link to our channel: / @2ndhandsoulsmusic
Dutch band formed in 1996 (same year as Nightwish) by lead singer Sharon den Adel and her partner, guitarist Robert Westerholt. Sharon is mostly self taught. She makes a lot of her stage outfits as she has a degree in fashion design. They are based in symphonic metal, but will move around into other styles often. This song is 1 of the 5 ,so far, stand alone singles released in the last few years. They should be included in the upcoming 8th album due next year. They have a done a bunch of collaborations over the years ,including Paradise (What about Us) with Tarja.
Like others already said, Within Temptation is currently on a European tour with Evanescence. Just 2 days ago, I had the chance to see them live. This is a band that really knows how to do its live shows. Their show is bombastic and Sharon is really a great singer and also performer on stage.
Within Temptation are from The Netherlands, same as Epica and Floor Jansen;-) Lead singer is Sharon den Adel. She learned her singing mainly by herself. Within Temptation started in the nineties.
FINALLY!!!! Within Temptation getting some LOVE!! I'm a huge Nightwish fan, but it was WT that lead me to them and they are my 1st symphonic love!! Sharon del Adel is an amazing singer in her own right. Within Temptation just finished their North American tour with Iron Maiden (which was frickin fantastic by the way)...they are now on a co-headline tour with Evanescence. They've been around since the mid-nineties and are headliners in their own right in Europe. Dive into the older stuff, like many suggestions here have pointed out.
I have a cool story about Within temptation. I was a festival in Munich Germany and Within temptation was headlining the arena second stage, problem was they were playing opposite Metallica in the stadium next door. The arena was empty. Maybe 500 people in a huge basketball arena l. And they came out out and killed it like it was packed arena and gave Everyone a special show with crowd interactions.
Nice reaction. Great band from my homecountry, the Netherlands. I've seen them live a couple of times, from a large venue to our local theater. Sharon has a beautiful voice. This is one of their newer songs, but, to be honest, I prefer their older songs. One of my Dutch Top 2000 votes went to their song 'Mother Earth'.
Guys I’m really glad your finally doing within Temptation. But I ask you please do some older songs. This is not the sound that made them famous. Might I suggest Angels, Jillian, Faster, The Heart of Everything.
They have been around for 25 years now and is one of the best live bands that i've seen. Here is an overview of their work as a great introduction to them:
Another lovely reaction. Within Temptation is another great rabbit hole and Sharon is another fantastic Dutch female singer. One of my favorites by them is Somewhere from the Black Symphony live concert. Has Anneke van Giersbergen as a guest singer and the harmonies between the two ladies is just amazing. It is often referred to as the most beautiful duet ever.
Another band with a huge catalog, I too would suggest listening to some of their earlier stuff. The last few years they have been experimenting with different styles.
