Band Biography
Within Temptation got founded in 1996. Robert Westerholt, who had already found a singer (his girlfriend Sharon den Adel), started the band. In less than two months, they had been offered various contracts for a record deal. WT decided to sign with DSFA Records and things got started.After signing to DSFA, things got rolling. The first album, ''Enter'', was released in April 1997 and soon after that, WT already played Dynamo 1997. It was their fifth gig ever... After playing on Dynamo they got asked for quite a lot of other gigs and at the end of 1997 (November) they even did a two-week tour through Germany and Austria. Some other pretty big gigs followed, including Noorderslag. And Dynamo 1998 of course, where WT played the main stage, after playing the campsite in 1997. Around the time that they played this gig at Dynamo, they also released an EP called ''The Dance''. This was supposed to serve as a small treat to span the gap between Enter and a new record.In 1999 WT decided to take things slow. After two years of performing and far too less breaks, they needed some time for themselves. So nothing really exciting happened except they finished their studies and their own studio became reality.A2000 turned out to be the year of major changes. The band received invitations to play at the major festivals in the Benelux countries. In December of this year the cd Mother Earth was released. Many Dutch professional music magazines voted this cd as their cd-of-the-month. Various album charts were topped and the number of fans increased heavily.In 2001 Within Temptation did a lot of touring, both inside- and outside of The Netherlands. Besides a club tour of 40 ‘sold-out’ concert halls, many festivals concerts were done. One of the highlights was a concert at the famous Pinkpop festival (100.000 visitors). Also concerts in Paris, Mexico-City and at Belgium Festivals were given. 2 cd-singles were released, Our Farewell and Ice Queen.2002 became the year of the mass-breakthrough. The single Ice Queen reached the number 1 position in may charts, both in The Netherlands and in Belgium. The Album Mother Earth reached the Platinum status in The Netherlands and the Gold status in Belgium. In both countries TMF/MTV Awards were achieved. The band played at the major Festivals in the Benelux (Ozzfest, Lowlands, Dynamo, RockfWerchter, Pukkelpop, Parkpop), as well as in Germany (Rock im Park, Bizarre, Summerbreeze). In France Within Temptation toured the major cities (Paris, Lyon, Lille, Bordeaux, Toulon) with sold-outvenues.Without a doubt, the rock year of 2003 belonged to Within Temptation – their album MOTHER EARTH conquered the heart and soul of the rock community. An ode to nature and the beauty of music – experience orchestral theater in metal clothing! Their singles ‘Ice Queen’ and ‘Mother Earth’ climbed into the Top 20 in Germany and took their turns in a constant barrage on video channels (and the band just did it again with a new interpretation of the Kate Bush classic ‘Running Up that Hill’), and MOTHER EARTH kept its place among the German Top 10 for weeks and weeks. The rock scene dared to dream again as it submerged itself in the humongous epic and irresistible spherical voice of singer Sharon den Adel. She is the focus of compositions by guitarist and song writer Robert Westerholt who founded the band in 1996. After only two months they had a recording contract in their hands, and their debut number ENTER fascinated the metal scene with fantastic melodies, orchestral elements and tremendous force. While in 1997 during the Dynamo Festival they would still perform on a side stage (it was only their fifth performance overall!), Within Temptation took main stage in celebration only a year later. They toured for two years, almost without a break – a colossal program that took its toll. In 1999, after publishing the single “The Dance”, the band decided to take a year off before beginning to work on the legendary MOTHER EARTH album – and the rest is rock history, as they say.But this isn’t the time to delve into the past of this Dutch Sextet – their newest opus (while this expression ought not to be overused in modern music, it does fit right here) is upcoming: On Nov. 15, 2004, Within Temptation will present its brand new album THE SILENT FORCE. Rock fans from all over Europe are eagerly anticipating this major musical event – and they will be thrilled. Within Temptation has managed to tackle the difficult task of continued development without losing any features of its characteristic style. In 2004, Within Temptation sounds even more powerful, more modern, and more sensual – lead by an orchestral introduction, the listener will immediately find himself in a world of chord riffs, spherical sounds, classical instruments, and the passionate voice of Sharon den Adel. ‘See Who I Am’ represents the pure dynamics of orchestra and rock band. The first single ‘Stand My Ground’ will refine this collaboration with an electronic boost and thereby settles in the listener’s head for good. In general, Within Temptation have afforded their sound a fresh and lively makeover and will catapult romantically inclined emotions into the consciousness of the modern music fan. Sharon den Adel’s voice will reach a new dimension – rarely have we heard her any softer than in ‘Pale’ or the beautifully arranged ‘Memories’, only to be conquered by the striking force of her vocal cords in ‘Jillian’ or ‘Angels’.Caught between the roughshod guitar board, an 80 piece orchestra, a choir (recorded in Moskow) and these vocals, the audience will exhilarate in listening to THE SILENT FORCE from the very first moment – an impressive monument of incredible musical talent, beyond all trends and far removed from “in-the-box” thinking. Produced by Daniel Gibson and mixed in the Swedish Toytown Studios these songs will, without a doubt, continue the success story for this band. For those wishing to experience the elegance of rock, Within Temptation and the unique voice of Sharon den Adel are an absolute must at the present. Lights on for a new and fascinating production of rock and orchestra: THE SILENT FORCE!Besides Robert Westerholt (guitar) and Sharon den Adel (singer), Within Temptation consists of: Jeroen van Veen (bass guitar), Martijn Spierenburg (keyboards), Stephen van Haestregt (drums) and Ruud Jolie (guitar).
