Anyone ever heard..

[SoleOrison]

Within Temptation? it's a metal/goth secular band, which is really weird because i usually absolutely hate metal/goth/rock....yet i love this band

 

[Mr.Cheese]

Only a bit of their stuff.

 

[SoleOrison]

ah well at least you've heard it I don't know anyone who has a clue on what 'Within Temptation' even is

 

[Chrome]

well, i sure haven't heard of them

Whereabouts are they from?

 

[SoleOrison]

I think they're from the Netherlands...or something like that. Different websites tell me different things.

ah, though i know of many bands from the region (northen europe, scandinavia), i've mostly heard of death, power and black metal bands from that area.

no flame, but what makes them so great to you. I'm sure i'd have to look into them if something about them can make someone who doesn't even like that kind of music, like a band who plays it.

 

[SoleOrison]

haha, well if you do...then i suggest you don't look into their "Mother Earth" CD because it's more new age. (which i like anyways). You'd probably like the more metal CD, "Silent Force"

Have no clue they are. That gothic stuff doesn't attract me.......

 

[SoleOrison]

me niether, but for some reason, this did. Trust me i usually HATE goth/rock with a burning passion...

I love Within Temptation! Have you heard their first CD Enter? It's very very good. Especially the song Restless. But Ice Queen is my favorite song by them I think. You might also like Nightwish, they are heavier than WT but they are just amazing...

allmusic groups them in with Nightwish and Lacuna Coil, possibly also Theatre of Tragedy if I remember correctly.

Just to clarify, when you say 'goth', I assume you mean the recent wave of goth-flavored nü-metal a la Evanescence (or misidentified Industrial music), or do you actually mean real Goth Rock (Bauhaus, Joy Division, The Sisters Of Mercy, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, All About Eve, etc.)?

thats what i wonder as well. Far too many people label any band they think is 'dark' as gothic, which is like saying any band that plays metal is satanic...
