Category: WITHIN TEMPTATION

WITHIN TEMPTATION are among the pioneers and front-runners of symphonic prog metal. During their 25-year career, the Dutch band have developed further with every album and have long since proven themselves to be one of the most independent and reliably inspiring groups in modern metal.
To celebrate their upcoming studio album ‘Bleed Out’ out next October, the band around Sharon den Adel is releasing a brand new live album titled ‘Live In Hell‘, a cardboard sleeve CD released exclusively with German magazine “Metal Hammer“. Before the studio album gets released, ‘Live In Hell’ features songs from it captured a few months ago at Hellfest 2023.
Also exclusive is a live recording from Summer Breeze 2022, and completes the disc songs recorded during Let Us Burn – Elements & Hydra Live In Concert years ago.
This very special Within Temptation album is only available together with METAL HAMMER 10/2023 issue.
Highly Recommended

3 bonus tracks For a band that forged a major international reputation on the basis of sweeping gothic melodrama – all drop-tuned guitar riffs, massive orchestral/choral backgrounds and vocalist Sharon den Adel’s pure, angelic soprano – Within Temptation’s new album “The Unforgiving” is a major step in their departure from that sound.Some slight changes were already underway in their album...
