Taken from Wikipedia
Within Temptation is a Dutch Metal Rock band founded in 1996 by vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt. After the release of their first album Enter, the band became prominent in the underground scene. It was not until 2001 that they became known to the general public, with the single "Ice Queen" from the album Mother Earth, which reached #2 on the Dutch charts.[2] Since then, the band won the Conamus Exportprijs[10] five years in a row. Their next album The Silent Force debuted at #1 on the Dutch charts, as did their latest, The Heart of Everything. In 2008, they released a live DVD and CD, Black Symphony, recorded with the Metropole Orchestra. This collection was followed in 2009 with An Acoustic Night at the Theatre.[11]
The band's fifth studio album The Unforgiving, was released in March 2011, alongside both a comic book series and a series of short films that together encompass a story. The first single, "Faster", was released on January 21, and the first short film, Mother Maiden, was released on January 31.[11] The band has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide.[12]

First off, here is a live version (just the audio) of 'Pale' at Java, where she forgot/replaced some of the lyrics. It's still an awesome performance and I love how she improvised.

**Violent Delights** · 09-19-2012, 09:28 AM

**livstevi21** · 09-19-2012, 09:47 AM

**livstevi21** · 09-20-2012, 10:49 AM

Yes, definitely!

They haven't mentioned about being in the video on their site...

**Violent Delights** · 09-20-2012, 11:27 AM

**livstevi21** · 09-20-2012, 12:49 PM

True. I haven't checked Twitter in ages though.

**Violent Delights** · 09-21-2012, 12:07 PM

**livstevi21** · 09-21-2012, 12:34 PM
