Within Temptation #3 Because 80's Sharon Rocks!

Welcome to the Within Temptation Appreciation Thread! #3







“Oh, I have been called many things in my long life - a seer, a heroine, a guardian. I have lived to see the birth of many nations. Cried and prayed through numerous bloody wars. We are the things you see out of the corner of your eye. The shapes and shadows that skirt the periphery. We are the folklore legends, the frost giants, the leprechauns, the trolls under the bridge, the ghosts in the attic. I recruit my servants from the souls that have sinned during their lifetime to fight evil in all its shapes and forms and crush it like a cockroach under foot. Guilt can be a powerful motivator… and redemption an even greater. You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent- then heed my warning and heed it well: my servants will find you, this I promise. For we will hunt you down like the animals you are and pull you screaming feet first into the very powers of hell. Some may call it a curse, a life like mine, but others a blessing. It’s certainly a lonely life, but a fulfilling one at best. It’s my cross to bear and I bear it gladly. Someone has to take a stand against evil, why should it not be me? Sometimes, on still nights, you clear your mind of wandering thoughts, you may hear them whisper my name to the heavens: Mother Maiden.”

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]

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.

And here I found a recording...too bad this performance was edited out from the DVD....

Cute video!! She already looks great You can't tell she just had a baby! Anyway what she was doing looked really fun. They just called it "body combat"? Must look it up!! I wanna do something like that

And that link - it's pretty cool WT made that list! It's full of pop artists (and a few that aren't).. definitely wouldn't have expected WT on a list like that. GO WT!

"Hi Robert! "




I noticed in the intro thread that youtube video where Sharon flubs her lines? I remember she used to do that often back in the day! It was adorable!!

I'd say it was from around the time of the last album, but it kinda reminds me of Memories still beautiful though
