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...

------ About the song The Promise performed by Within Temptation
Bad English. Half of the song you can't even understand due to the poor pronunciation from the singer. "You almost look happy" sounds a lot more like "Lonesome Capulet." Listen to it sometime. I thought it was a song about Romeo and Juliet until I looked up the supposed lyrics, lmao.

I fear it to, that creeping feeling to break loose my anger | Reviewer: Warped child
------ About the song It's the Fear performed by Within Temptation
You may have seen a comment by me, anonymis, but for pale. I moved to Tennessee 2 years ago when my dad got a new job. I was always taunted, and simply tried to put up with it like my sister did for so long, by bottling my anger and it eventually came out in violent acts. I forced myself to love a boy to have someone by my side. I spent so many nights crying, fearing that that anger would come out again, that I will have hurt someone again.
Good song | Reviewer: Chaotic-Cat
------ About the song Somewhere performed by Within Temptation
This is probably there best song. I love it so much. Even though they wrote the lyrics wrong here as it's not 'Whatever it takes me to go'. Replace 'go' with 'know' and you've got right lyrics to a beautiful song.

------ About the song Pale performed by Within Temptation
when i first listened to this song,i didnt understand it all. i looked up the lyrics, and i almost cried.last year, everyone made fun of me at school. i was barely angry, so i bottled up the anger. eventualy, i snapped and stabbed someone in the shoulder with my pencil, spending many nights awake crying. i forced myself to love someone because i was so lonely.i hated him, but i was desperate, and he was the only guy who would talk to me.i dumped him, but he still hangs around me, and i dont have the guts to tell him to go away.even now, i had to hang a poster on my ceiling, so whenever i get depressed, i look up at thesky and see the poster, which reads"there's still hope".and its true. health care, which i am personaly against, isnt totaly passed. people see war is only pointless deaths. the young of america are still poisoned, but it can still be fixed. there is hope.
Great song | Reviewer: DeLiRiUm Of ThE eNdLeSs
------ About the song Crucify performed by Within Temptation
Love this song. It's like a ballad for humanity. We do nothing but cause others and ourselves pain, despite our best intentions. 'Every finger in the room is pointing at me'. We often think that everyone sees our thoughts, and our guilt 'crucifys us'. Love Within Temptation.
It's a story | Reviewer: Ivkir
------ About the song Hand Of Sorrow performed by Within Temptation
Well, this song is great, and i also agreed that it has nothing to do with twilight... i write a story and this song is greatly fit in it... it like doubt of main hero, who asked himself "For what i do?" or "For what i have leave behind everything"... anyway - this song is great... this song can make people stop and think... and sorry for my english
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 Forgiven performed by Within Temptation
i really love this song right here! it brings back alot of memories. the first time i heard it tears just raced down my face. i fell in love with a guy who i considered my best friend. he promised me he'd always he here for me but when i told him how i felt he stopped talking to me, to this day he hasnt spoken 2 me. i was always there for him. in his time of pain and joy i stayed beside him den 1 day he just left me behind.... but i hold nothing against him...
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven. another song that reminds me alot of him is memories from within temptations :D

Another Underworld Story... | Reviewer: GaaRA
------ 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?

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. :(
