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 More...
Review about Within Temptation The Movie | Reviewer: IMNatheist
------ About the song Final Destination performed by Within Temptation
IMO it's totally inspired by the movie "Final Destination 2", which features a car pileup and a subsequent haunting by Death of all those who should have died in it ("I escaped my final moment / but it's turning back at me").
I strongly disagree with the possibility that the inspiration came from Sharon's own feelings. She's just... not the kind of person who gets paranoid about death. She's a clear-thinking individual.

------ About the song Pale performed by Within Temptation
So I have been under a lot of stress lately with everything from school to family to friends and boyfriends. I was extremely depressed all day today and the night just kept getting worse for me. When I got back to my room though I put on my music, opening my Within Temptation file and putting all their music on random. THIS was the first song to play. As I listen, I am reading the lyrics and the comments posted and replaying the song over and over again. I am feeling better. Whatever is happening at this moment in time WILL pass over me. No matter how bad it is getting it WILL get better. I have things I still have to accomplish. "It's all my state of mind, I can't leave it all behind. Have to stand up to be stronger!" Thank you :)

------ About the song Overcome performed by Within Temptation
This song is my heart. Just when I thought I can't live life anymore I found this song hidden in the plethora of WT songs on my ipod. Within Temptation is the greatest band, when I heard this song I was thought "They trump all over Evanesence." So much love to Amy Lee but you have competition.

------ About the song Hand Of Sorrow performed by Within Temptation
I love the story of this song...
I think I cna make a nice music video of this if I'll be in the West some years from now...XD
Although the lyrics of the demo version is really different; I was a little confused listening to the same song with different lyrics at first...XD
The twilight thing... haha... I don't think the story deserved this kind of song...
Those that write on Twilight rpg sites are even better than the original writer I think...

I love White-Sharon than Red-Sharon.. Ha3x..
I wonder, why do they cover this song? Actually, this songs makes me surprise [when the first time heard this song] where she sudden said: "It doesn't hurt me"... Very funny that time..? Anyway, back to the question, why do they cover this beautiful song?

------ About the song Somewhere performed by Within Temptation
I still love my exboyfriend, but we're not together any more, and a few weeks ago, he didn't go home from the university and no-one has seen him until that day, we don't know where he is and I burst into tears whenever I hear this song, because I'm so worried about him...

------ About the song Utopia performed by Within Temptation
But I don't think the lyrics " dreaming of trying" was the correct one, 'coz I'd been heard like Chris didn't say 'TRYING'.. You can heard this song many times and hear what he says.. I'm sorry if my grammar was not correct.. ^0^.. Anyway, Utopia is the best song.. I can't wait the new album. Have to be patient.. Smile always...

------ About the song Somewhere performed by Within Temptation
I love this song, it has a special meaning to me that makes me hold it close to my heart. My best friend is trying to fight off suicidal thoughts, and when she's not battling those she's trying not to cut herself. She's lost so far in the dark and I love her so much; I've already promised her that I'll do anything & everything I can to help her find her way back to where she belongs. :(

------ About the song Angels performed by Within Temptation
I am not going to get involved in the debate. I love Angels and WT. I came to say that there is a new video by WT on youtube. Just go and type 'utopia within temptation' to find it. That's what I came to say.
Amazing! | Reviewer: Beatrix
------ About the song Utopia performed by Within Temptation
This song is absolutely gorgeous. Sharon's vocals are flawless as always, and Chris Jones is a good addition to the song. It's a different sound than anything they've done before, but it's perfect to go with the new acoustic album. Can't wait for the new album! Kudos to WT for another beautiful song!
Why do I keep seeing 'twilight' on the reviews??? | Reviewer: Random
------ About the song Angels performed by Within Temptation
I don't knw why you guys are relating this song to twilight. I mean, I liked the first book but that was it. Bella was irritating, throwing her life like that. Anyway, this song is AWESOME. That's what matters. I don't think its demonic either. Its about betrayal and lots of people can relate to it. So, go WT!!! YOU ROCK!!

------ About the song Overcome performed by Within Temptation
This song has a beautiful melody...and the lyrics are so...strengthening! These last months I have been experiencing such terrible situations...you know...the feeling of being completely imprisoned inside the walls of sadness...sleepless nights... misunderstood by everyone...completely alone and helpless...watching my dreams ruin one by one...and seeing just a black hole in my future...I was completely hopeless! I've always been waiting for heros to come and save me from those who cause me hell...but they never came...It seems like noone cares about me and the way I suffer...
And so one of these days I heard this song...it filled me with hope, it strengthened me within! Now I know that I shouldn't be waiting for anyone in the world! I must keep going my own way with pride and faith...I must keep climbing to reach the top and realize my dreams! I'll overcome!
i adore this song!! | Reviewer: lauz

------ About the song Angels performed by Within Temptation
Yep, I LOVE Within Temptation. There's nothing evil about their music. There's always a message, and frequently it's a positive one, or one about dealing with or overcoming something. I can't stand when people get overzealous and wind up breaking the rules they say they subscribe to. It gives us a bad name! Yes, there is music out there that is "Bad," but use a little discernment before being judgmental and smearing a group or a genre!
