"In the Middle of the Night" 4. "Faster" 5. "Fire and Ice" 6. "Iron" 7. "Where Is the Edge" 8. "Sinéad" 9. "Lost" 10. "Murder" 11. "A Demon’s Fate" 12. "Stairway to the Skies" Faster:
January 21, 201114 yr Liking the new single. :) Also used to like many of their older singles (including that Kate Bush cover. LOL). Not sure about their albums in general but they are usually interesting to listen to. :) Edited January 21, 201114 yr by FM11
January 21, 201114 yr One of my most anticipated albums of the year, although that single sounds a little dated. Still, I am looking forward to the album :D
January 22, 201114 yr Author I must say that WT is a major departure from my other music tastes but Sharon has a really good voice :heart: Their last album (The Heart of Everything) is superb and will be very tough to beat but if the new album is as good as Faster then it could happen. There is another song floating about called Where Is The Edge? worth checking out. 2nd most anticipated album of 2011 after J-Lo :heehee:
January 22, 201114 yr Author It sure is, apparantly the concept of the album is based on a comic book, there is some info on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unforgiving
January 22, 201114 yr Just discovered these guys, I decided to give Faster a random listen when Regina said he was listening to it in the What Are You Listening To thread, dunno why, I hate metal :lol: It's not really metal though, just rock really. Will have to give their other albums a listen before the new one comes out :D Edited January 22, 201114 yr by Liam Germanotta.
January 23, 201114 yr I'm so proud that they are Dutch! Love their new single! Finally one to match the awesomeness of Ice Queen & Mother Earth.
January 23, 201114 yr Absolutely DELIGHTED with the new single. Their sound was beginning to get so stale, but this is a lot more riff-based, a bit heavier, some electronic influences, and a very rare WT guitar solo as well. Apparently the rest of the album has Iron Maiden influences, so definitely looking forward to it. I think this could actually perform relatively well in the UK charts as well, I think Sharon Del Ada did vocals for a popular dance track.

Will have to give their other albums a listen before the new one comes out :D Well, it's symphonic metal at it's heaviest, gothic rock at it's lightest. But either way it's good for people to see how varied the genre is!
January 24, 201114 yr It sure is, apparantly the concept of the album is based on a comic book, there is some info on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unforgiving Yeah, it kinda does look like comic book art-work, or video game artwork, not really their typical aesthetic... If the new style works out for them, fair dos though... Bringing in a more "electronic" element is gonna make them sound a bit like Rammstein or Lahannya though I reckon.. Not a bad thing though....
January 24, 201114 yr Author The new style really works well :D I would rather have a cover like The Heart of Everything, Sharon looked so amazing on it. I hope they can get some more success here in the UK :(
January 24, 201114 yr Love this band. Their previous albums were al very good! Seen them live as well, they're good!
January 25, 201114 yr Author Single cover for Faster, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/91/Faster_singlecover-web.jpg Video being filmed on 31st Jan. Robert Westerholt said this about the song: “Faster” is a song which surprised ourselves. It’s a very fresh new sound wrapped around the 80′ties heart and soul of the track. “Faster” reflects one of the many musical roots we have. Combined with the modern influences on our new album, it’s like the past and future created the present." Oh and Sharon is expecting another baby :o :wub:
January 31, 201114 yr Video for Faster :wub: jlgc84ZFWBo Decent enough I suppose, it does have the touch of the Lahannya's about it... I tell you what though, I never knew the Mitchell Brothers had joined Within Temptation...... :lol: :lol:
January 31, 201114 yr Author :heehee: Well they clearly need the extra income. I can't believe how beautiful Sharon is :heart: DAMN! Loving the one glove thing too.
January 31, 201114 yr Their song 'Pale' from The Silent Force album is the best for me, absolutely stunning. :wub: :wub:
