WITHIN TEMPTATION

Release Year: 2018
Artist Origin: NED
Style: dreamy atmospheric epic doom metal

WT was built on the ashes of The Circle, one of atmospheric doom metal bands so typical for Netherlands in mid nineties, directly influenced by The Gathering of those days - they have added talented female vocalist Sharon den Adel and moved on in more or less similar vein, only later to evolve into much more symphonic and epic direction; nonetheless, debut longplay [1997] up to nowadays sounds memorable and quite impressive as a result of mesmerizing, emotional, fragile side of music, clashing with abrasive metal ethics; recent Dutch re-issue comes with authentic layout and additional five compositions of rare 1998's EP
