Within Temptation Appreciation #1 Because they're our Angels

Welcome to the first Within Temptation Appreciation Thread!



Quote:
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.

i first heard of them a couple of years ago when my sister played me 'Angels' and I fell in love! I don't think there is one song of theirs that I don't like.

Mother Earth has to be my favorite WT album, it's just incredible. The song Mother Earth is one of my all time favorites, along with Ice Queen and Deceiver of Fools. Oh and I love in Perfect Harmony, it has the most beautiful lyrics.

I'm also in love with Sharon's outfits/dresses, they are gorgeous! I have a huge soft spot for that pink one I posted in the OP.

Has anyone seen them live? I hope to go see them for the first time when they come to London on March 30th next year. Irony is though, I've got a University trip to the Netherlands at around that time. I do hope it's not the 30th. That would just be the worst luck ever!

I'll be adding some videos to the OP soon
