Within Temptation

Why am I always the last to hear about bands? Rock music is a guilty passion of mine and last month I spent a few idle hours on Youtube looking at a number of Symphonic Metal Bands and wondering if I should speculatively buy an album or two. In the end I found this group called Within Temptation from the Netherlands and bought a couple of their albums.

Now Im totally addicted. If you were generous you’d call their stuff romantic, but really its classic rollicking cheesy goth rock. I love it.

Now I find out that they’re on the front cover of Kerrang! and tipped to be massive in the UK :-/

Oh well – it doesnt stop them being great.
