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... (Submit New Within Temptation Lyrics) (Submit New Within Temptation Lyrics) OMG! | Reviewer: Breno ------ About the song Somewhere performed by Within Temptation When I first hear this song I almost cried (a sensation that I only felt related with a song when I heard All I Ask You, the song Raoul and Christine sing together in the Phantom of the Opera, at my cousin's wedding). But Somewhere... Everytime I listen to this song I remember what is to be in love with someone... very impressive =D | Reviewer: Delphride ------ About the song Destroyed performed by Within Temptation Destroyed is wonderful-WT never cease to leave me impressed by how even the tracks that dont make it onto the albums can be so amazing. It's powerful and the lyrics say much! i do agree with a lot of other fans, though, The Dance and Enter were awesome :) THOE is completely different :s...but just as good, only in a different way, i guess. Oh, and they should really do a show in England, after supporting Iron Maiden ang playing at Download hopefully lots more people would come :D Liiiiiike..... Da Apocalypse? *dissolves into laughter* | Reviewer: Raven ------ About the song The Truth Beneath The Rose performed by Within Temptation Oh, quite honestly, what can this terrible truth be? I'll admit I'm Catholic, (although hardly orthodox, I'm what you call a "Unitarian Universalist Catholic" aka not Catholic)though open to different ideas... and quite honestly, subrosa/luvbabys, people have been touting "Church conspiracy" theories for CENTURIES. Yet have I to come across a convincing one that the entire world does not know of. Look, the Catholic Church ain't a perfect institution by any means, but it's hardly the institution of evil-similar to the Jewish and Islamic religions (And all other religions): They have all had their issues and eras of wongdoing. HOWEVER They, by themselves, are not bad. Peopl who practice them, yes, some CAN be. (Stressing the CAN, okay, my uptight peers!) This isn't about the Da Vinci code, is it? (Please pause whilst I laugh hysterically.) Look, I actually read some of that. Not godawful, but it's JUST. A. NOVEL. I'm pretty certain. ^^ Okay? Okay. Interesting imagery | Reviewer: JP ------ About the song Angels performed by Within Temptation In a previous comment, someone mentioned the fallen angel / satan imagery, where someone else mentioned it seemed to be about a break up. The imagery works for either. Generally, I find that love songs can either be about love for someone, or love for God. Similarly, songs about love betrayed or lost can just as easily be about a breakup as they can be about the deceptions of the devil. I'm not sure which the band meant in this case. Possibly both, but given some of their other songs, I have to think the religious imagery was in their minds. Especially "Our Solemn Hour", which contains the latin phrase "Sanctus Espiritus" which means "Holy Spirit". That entire song is a cry to God for help. Angels, a different take | Reviewer: McKenzie ------ About the song Angels performed by Within Temptation To the person who said it might be about a break up, good for you, it just might be, (it's a different take, at least). But to the person who said it was about the Devil, you're a moron. Within Temptation is a PAGAN band. It reflects on how some christians get too devout into their belief and begin finding fault in everything but themselves and start to persecute it. It's shown in the video that the man was a religious man who does away with those he deems to be impure. Most likely he was Catholic or involved in one of those cults that trains him to treat women like crap because of Original Sin, (which is totally stupid)Btw, I am not a girl, I am a guy. I'm Celtic Wiccan, and I'm glad that there can be pagan bands out there supporting wiccan image and beliefs. I have nothing against Christians, btw, I just support the message against those of the intolerant kind. So much to think about in one song. | Reviewer: Scared to Death ------ About the song Pale performed by Within Temptation This song... I've been crying for a while because of this song, because I know it's what I have to do in my own life. I was just diagnosed HIV+, so something this inspiring and uplifting is a welcome thing... I love it!!!! | Reviewer: Murtaghgirl ------ About the song Jillian (I'd Give My Heart) performed by Within Temptation I love this song but I'm sorry for those of you think otherwise I have to chose Evanescence because of Amy's voice. Amy's voice is angelic yet haunting and Sharon's voice is just angelic. I like the way Amy's voice sends a few good shivers down my spine. I also love both genre's. Gothic rock is my favourite but both bands seem to add their own unique touch to it. I love the soprano voices in the background as well! Angels | Reviewer: Semi-charmed-life ------ About the song Angels performed by Within Temptation I don't particularly care if it sounds like The Twilight Series. It was not written for that purpose. Yeah, it could be about satan and such, but I think it is about a break up. Don't we all have that one angel who we think is perfect but, as people said before, angels are no better than us. And the girl finds this out too late, after her "angel" breaks her heart Love | Reviewer: Francie ------ About the song Somewhere performed by Within Temptation I heard this song not too long ago and i've seen so many videos made for it i have a few favorites but, i kinda dedicate it to myself. I had this boyfriend whom just disappeared one day, haven't found him yet, but I'll keep on trying. GuitaR | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Jillian (I'd Give My Heart) performed by Within Temptation "Only fourteen year olds are allowed to listen to music like this without being mocked to death here." I'm not fourteen years old and I don't give a damn, who says what. "Are allowed"? What a stupid phrase.. So now someone's gonna tell me what to listen to? This is so pathetic. I guess, you yourself, Jonas, are a fourteen years old teenager and think the way those children do;] Lame fallen angels | Reviewer: SL ------ About the song Angels performed by Within Temptation this song truly describes satan trying to lure people to believe him. this song rocks! my favourite within temptation song, and jillian. btw, twilight sucks! bella is a idiot, and edward is a chauvinist. maybe sharon should sing "sparkling edward, i believe you were gonna make me, into a vamp blinded by light, couldn't see your dark intentions, your feelings for me" Somewhere | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Somewhere performed by Within Temptation I heard this son on YouTube about a little girl who was abducted I heard this song, and since no one knew what happened to her, it fit perfectly and when I heard it was from Within Temptation, it made me an even bigger fan Beautiful. | Reviewer: Mina ------ About the song Our Solemn Hour performed by Within Temptation Our Solemn Hour is a masterpiece. Because of its surreal lyrics and breathtaking music, this song should be revered throughout history. And the singing? Ijust might steal Sharon away someday! ^_^ Briliant lyric | Reviewer: Suryo ------ About the song The Howling performed by Within Temptation This song is very nice. The lyric is very dark but also briliant. Within Temptation never want the bloodshed. Within Temptation say in this song that war is useless. They want piece. I have 2 videoclips from this song, the original version and the soundtrack for The Chronicles Of Spellborn. Sharon den Adel look very beautiful in both videoclips (Robert Westerholt, you're very lucky). best discovery of my life | Reviewer: cRiStINe ------ About the song Frozen performed by Within Temptation this song is just...great, but above all, the way she sings it. i completely discovered this group yesterday, i mean, i had heard of them, stand my ground and that but this was...wow. i was looking for new bands after having exploded evanescence and i found them. i must say they are ... no words. just... cant wait to learn the rest of songs by heart. from a spanish girl lol Erm, tenth post up | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Ice Queen performed by Within Temptation Yeah, that old chestnut. Beautiful song. Very dramatic. I think it's a song about evil in general which uses language evocative of "Ice Queens" in fiction such as Jadis to get its point across. They've got some very interesting videos on YouTube set to the song. **** the song is so cold and sad**** | Reviewer: ,,As" ------ About the song Angels performed by Within Temptation I love the song it's soooo real..... when I listen the song I feel pain in my heart... I love someone but it's only a dream that never will be real I feel that thats all is only a lie i see that my life , the world who I life that's all a lie the boy is's youst a lie amazing | Reviewer: Alissa ------ About the song See Who I Am performed by Within Temptation well what's there to say I mean this song and alot of there other songs I've listened to rock! I've heard restless, stand my ground, ice queen, angels, candles, and see who I am......I think..... ahah I've made so many videos of me singing them and if anybody wants to add me to msn add lil_cutie_kittycat@hotmail.com ice queen | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Ice Queen performed by Within Temptation it remind me of the killing cold that you feel when alone out in the sown and no one there to comfort and all you can do is run to stay warm or fall victim to to the to the cold winds that sweep in from the north hell is what i give you Break free from the thoughts in my mind | Reviewer: Anonymous, 13 ------ About the song Pale performed by Within Temptation I love how everyone on sing365 always shares their stories of how they connect to songs, especially Within Temptation. This song is so comforting to me because I've struggled for while with eating disorders (see the title of my review)...this is such a beautiful, beautiful song.
