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...

Furthermore its could be about the people there, who cant do anything against it; about people dying and how the europeans dont care. GREAT SONG | Reviewer: rebecca ------ About the song Jillian (I'd Give My Heart) performed by Within Temptation okay okay okay. LISTEN. lol Within Temptation is an amazing band. sharon den adel's voice is just simply amazing. that's all there is to it. Evanescence is GOTHIC ROCK. not SYMPHONIC METAL, which this is, in my opinion. i dont even get why people compare wt and evanescence, besides the fact that both have female lead singers and have metal influences throughout. nightwish, sirenia, and lacuna coil are the closest bands i have found to evanescence. i love evanescence and wt, both. but evanescence is a different genre. evanescence doesnt have orchastras and stuff like within temptation does. they are either piano or just guitars and etc. they are both amazing bands in THEIR GENRES. evanescence is not metal, they're gothic rock. everyone should know that if you really listen to them. amy lee is amazing, and so is sharon den adel. lol man, sounds like i do too much internet browsing on bands...but yeah, thats what i think. OH and Linkin Park is just pop rock now. they really went down hill with their new album. just like how atreyu is now mainstream metal. burns my buttons, i tell ya. haha. Angel | Reviewer: Talvrae ------ About the song Angels performed by Within Temptation Well i can see why person would relate this song to christianity, Angels does refers to Lucifer, sparking angel is a reference to the bearer of Light wich basically the signification of Lucifer name, and at some point in the song she said Fallen Angel wich is still refering to the status of Lucifer and if you watch the video clip the guy is clearly a demon... But god damn does someone know the meaning of an analogie??? She is simply talking of someone she trusted and betreyed her, like many other have said here. She compare him to Lucifer, it had somehow to the ambiance of the song and it's strenght. And for the Twillight fan... please, please go read something good, and i beg you get to watch better movie than this, you obviously dont have a great history at movie watching... go expend your view a bit Rosalie | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Forgiven performed by Within Temptation Such a beautiful song... So simple, yet sofilled with sorrow and heartache... It feels like all the pain in the world in one song. I'm glad that I've not felt anything like what's in this song. And to whoever said:- And by the way... the piece "I've been so lost since you've gone Why not me before you Why did fate deceive me" are not in the song.. It is :) Amazing | Reviewer: Stacie ------ About the song Jillian (I'd Give My Heart) performed by Within Temptation Truthfully their music scared me at first, but after listening to it for so long I've grown fond of it. The lead singer has very unique voice and so it's hard to compare it to other bands in the same genre. Great song in the long run. meaning of the song Frozen | Reviewer: Monica ------ About the song Frozen performed by Within Temptation It's about she don't know what to do that somethings calling her which is sacrificing her life. She don't know what to do but she'll sacrifice who she loved, which it was sadness thing to do. She cry that she thought her life is slipped away cause the sad curse she needs to do, she felt it that something's frozen in her mind of her memories. It's starting to haunting her and she's sober that she had to let go everything she had in her life. ... | Reviewer: Stella ------ About the song The Truth Beneath The Rose performed by Within Temptation Sidenote: "He who walks behind the rose" in the "Children of the Corn" series was the devil. I am not saying or implying that WT is Satanistic in ANY way, shape, or form. This just influenced my impression of the song in that, since it's a ballad, perhaps the characters were influenced by "a false prophet" or a leader who only wanted power, destruction, etc etc. I would love to know what the Latin at the end means. Highschool courses are insuffiecient xD Why does it matter so much to you people? | Reviewer: Alice ------ About the song The Cross performed by Within Temptation Why does everyone have to label everything? A person's religion is personal, and yes, they have done some christian songs, and some paganistic songs. But who says that you have to be something to talk about it? As much as you know, they might not believe in any of these religions, but just sings about it because it's hot topics and/or they want to understand it better. There are many reasons, in my own poetry I have sometimes refered to "God" and other religious symbols. But I am not christian, but because of other personal reasons. So stop be so focused on what they believe in, because that doesn't matter, the thing that matters is what they do! And WT makes GREAT music, religious or not! to abcdefnightwishrocks | Reviewer: Stella ------ About the song Jillian (I'd Give My Heart) performed by Within Temptation Just because you say it doesn't make it so. First of all, someone who loves a band with ANNETTE OLSON in it should NOT be calling Sharon den Adel weird. ^^ (I'm a Tarja fan, obviously.) And I'd like to see you tap dance with those bloody little bastards on. Paula Abdul is high half the time; when you're stoned you pull things off that you wouldn't dare do sober. Besides that, why the hell you would TAPDANCE to "Truth Beneath the Rose" or "Jillian" or "Enter" (especially "Enter") is beyond me. Aside from that, people, WT's from the Netherlands, not America. I would guess the style of dancing might be a little different there-and if not, who cares? Not every band has to have a singer who dances madly across the screen in a music video or breakdances. That's just Sharon's thing, something that makes her a little different. As is wearing corset tops, although that's not nearly as unique (Tarja Turunen, Simone Simons). Note: the fact that she can pull it off after having two children (Luna Eva and Robert Aidan, congrats to Sharon and Robert) astounds me. Let's see your precious Abdul bear/raise two kids and do that. And look up the Black Symphony performance of "Our Solemn Hour". Watch it. If that ain't "belting it out" then I'm a goddamn monkey's uncle. To Blackvampire: I'm sorry, nu metal say wha? Linkin Park is not metal. In any form. They're rock to pop rock to hard rock, it really all depends on the album in question. Nu metal's more Slipknotty (blegh, but that's just my opinion, to each their own.) I agree, however, with your exasperation to band comparison and your assessment of Evanescence. I listen to them, I admit it, but they're way too fixated on failed relationships. Who was the idiot calling them metal? They're (I believe) currently calling themselves some obscure subgenre of rock. Evanescence's songs are often delicate ("Bring Me to Life"; "Whispers"; "Like You".) "Call Me When You're Sober" is the only song I can think of besides areas of "Lithium" where Amy Lee really starts to "belt it out". This song is about what ever you want it to be | Reviewer: Illusion ------ About the song Hand Of Sorrow performed by Within Temptation to me the story is more, orphan abandond at birth grew up to be an assasin for the king and loves someone he shouldnt. or something like that. "It's not a MATTER OF OPINION when writer said in clear words what the song is about. It's about Fitz. If you'd read Farseer you would see it yourself, I recognized the storyline immediately and I am not even that big fan of the books. The Moonlight trype has nothing to do with it. Some thing are objective, not subjective, and if the facts aren't what you want them to be, doesn't make them facts any less. You can imagine whatever you want while listening to the song anyway." dude not neccisarily maybe that was the idea behind it but it's not what the song is about its about what ever you want it to be for crying out loud its a song thats beautiful stop arguing what its about forsaken | Reviewer: Usagi ------ About the song Forsaken performed by Within Temptation i think forsaken is a truly magnificant song...i have to say one of their best although all of their songs have their own individuallity... i also agree,this song is much like the story of Atlantis... i also agree that the lyrics are pretty much discribing the planet and how our selfishness and greed is distroying it... i think it go's well with the anime elfen lied if you have'nt watched it then you have'nt lived. the song is perfect in every way and i thank within temptation so much for their brilliant music.They are a truly great band and are very talented. -Usagi,Momonoke,Haruhi uggh | Reviewer: blackvampire ------ About the song Jillian (I'd Give My Heart) performed by Within Temptation I LOVE this song...WT rocks. But I'm SO SICK of people always comparing bands. I've heard the Evanescence and Lacuna Coil arguments before, but Nightwish and Avril Lavigne and My Chemical Romance and especially Linkin Park are new and the last three are really shocking. I listen to all these guys and ALL of them are AWESOME. Some more so than others, but that's just according to me. Why can't the bands live in peace without people walking all over one band and putting the other on a pedestal? There's no use comparing them anyway, since they're all different genres. According to me (emphasis on those words), WT is gothic metal (Jillian still maintains the goth), Lacuna Coil is some form of metal...? (I don't know; I haven't been listening to them that long), Nightwish is symphonic metal, Evanescence is gothic rock, Avril Lavigne is punk rock,pop or goth (depending on whether it's Let Go, TBDT, or Under My Skin in question), Linkin Park is nu metal (with the exception of Minutes to Midnight), and I'm going to call MCR hard punkish rock with a gothic edge. I know there are (gebnerally well-based)arguments for WT being symphonic metal, and I have no idea about Lacuna Coil but I'd imagine they were argued to be gothic metal (?). But still, even if two of the bands are the same genre, they definitely all have their own unique styles that make them untouchable by the others. Comparing apples and orangles doesn't get anyone anywhere. Sharon's movements are unique, but that's just her style. She's not the same type of music as Paula Abdul and I can't see why anyone would gtapdance to a Within Temptation song or could manage to while they were singing it. Amy Lee's voice (and the Lacuna Coil female lead's voice for that matter) have a wonderful power to them--different than Sharon's voice, but not less in any way. The only way someone could say that Evanescence's voice is 'belt it out' or 'not as good' is if you heard Call Me When You're Sober and decided to diss them over that. Go back and listen to Lithium. Within Temptation has a variety of songs, but Evanescence (and there was a difference between The Open Door and Fallen: there weren't any songs with themes such as ones in Your Star(depending on your interpretation), The Only One, Lose Control, Good Enough, Weight of the World, Snow White Queen, and All That I'm Living For and that's half the album right there. I heard on the review for some other song (I think Comalies b Lacuna Coil?) that Evanescence was percieved as a POSER in the metal genre. Evanescence isn't even metal in the first place!!!! thoughts | Reviewer: drowning_up ------ About the song The Truth Beneath The Rose performed by Within Temptation I think, though the lyrics can be related to the Crusades, that they can also be a reflection of the wars today. because many argue that the war in Iraq is just a contiuation of the old holy wars. even it would seem more out of greed then religion. But I can see the relation built between the lyrics and the Crusades for the simple fact that the reason the Crusades happened was to bring some sort of ease to the Great Schism between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. Because at the time the Catholic Church needed the assistince to diffeat the "infidial" that was invading their lands. Sadly though it didn't work to the extent they had wished for and only caused death and disease to become rampit. but this song is truely amazing, even I, as a christian, think they are amazing and truthful. Yours Forever T. pagan? | Reviewer: Keith ------ About the song Mother Earth performed by Within Temptation The song is just about nature - it has nothing to do with wiccan. Speaking pedantically about the true meaning of 'Pagan', a pagan is a country dweller - someone who lives by agriculture and worships the gods/spirits of fertility, weather, seasons etc. If you are a city dweller, you can't really be a pagan - pagans grow things. Try 'Animist' instead. Flawless Ice | Reviewer: The Poet ------ About the song Ice Queen performed by Within Temptation I think this song is flawless. Ice Queen is truly magnificent and almost foreshadowing. It's chilling and mysterious, a difficult combination to create in a song. When I look for the meaning of a song, I am not looking for the literal or obvious meaning. I prefer to search deeper. When I heard this song, I thought of a spirit who has for so long lived in the coldest, darkest ice. Her castle is just an icey ruin of olden times. A broken, lost memory killed by war. "When she hears raging, she takes life away," She destroys the fighting because of the pain it causes her. Since I feel our world has become so chaotic, the Ice Queen returns to destroy the very reason for it. Then sun/peace comes and melts her stone heart away. She slips back into the ice and waits, for an eternity if she has to, she waits to ruin the world with the cold. Eternal winter and night... Fallen Angel | Reviewer: The Poet ------ About the song Deceiver Of Fools performed by Within Temptation I think this song is amazing but it cetainly sounds like this song is about Satan. He is the greatest deceiver of all. He feeds on our pain, hate, and fear. He won't hesitate to send your soul to Hell. God is our great protector and Father. God keeps us from his hateful world, his ruined world. He is not a deceiver, he is honest and just. This only my opinion about the song. Regardless of who "He" is, it's a great song like all of their others. amazingly haunting song | Reviewer: Lin ------ About the song Angels performed by Within Temptation wow this song is terrific! i first listened to it because my friend said that my vocal fits for within temptation's songs and so i tried to youtube them. and the result is i had fallen head over heels over this song. can anybody here recommend other good within temptation songs? anw, people should cease bashing twilight's fans, they are mostly just kids who haven't been graced with other work of literature with deeper values. poor them... curious | Reviewer: animefan ------ About the song Memories performed by Within Temptation i was wondering what religion sharon is because she talks about praying to 'the Gods'. Does anyone know or is she just using it to make the song more interesting? i LOVE the song!! and i LOVE 'Angels' too!! just some questions | Reviewer: abcedfgnightwishrocks ------ About the song Jillian (I'd Give My Heart) performed by Within Temptation don't you think sharon is weird? the way she moves, i hardly think waving your hands egyptian style is considered dancing. maybe she could try to move her whole body? and why does she wear corsets if she cant sing as well in them? high heels are no prob, if paula abdul can tapdance in heels, so can sharon. also, i find the album pictures weird. sharon looks, well, ugly in that mother earth wig. when actually she is pretty (in enter). so, i think that with better packaging, WT would be much more attractive. of course, their songs rock, jillian is my fav, but who's gonna listen to them if they take one look at mother earth's picture and flees? I Miss U Baby Girl | Reviewer: Tanya M Binkiwitz ------ About the song Forgiven performed by Within Temptation This song reminds me of my baby girl. The first and only for my husband and I. She had spinal meningitis at birth and I feel like she left me behind and gave up fighting. I do not blame her and I know that God wanted her more to be an angel for him, but I want her here with me. I do not understand why the one thing I want more than life itself, I can not have.
