Amazing band and songs and always looking out to develop them selves not caring about what other people think of them. I like that element. They just make the music they feel they have to make and not let commercial pressure decide. Thats why they are always original and recognizable. Better than ever i might say!
Well you said it! 🤘🏻 And that's exactly what bands should do. There will always be people who don't share the taste in music and criticise, and tons of people who love a certain style. As long as you're doing what you like, project your creativity and mind into your creations, you're doing the right thing! 🔥
Gotta watch their video for "Shed My Skin". Another newer one you may love. Their sound has evolved a lot over the years. They've only gotten better. And Sharons voice has only gotten stronger. Plus they still possess those symphonic/orchestral qualities that makes them, THEM.
Thank you, I will def check that out! This was a very strong and good path they chose to evolve on if you ask me. I remember Sharon having amazing vocals, but she's definitely added strength to them, more emotion and contrast. I was blown away! 🔥
Hi Micha...Dont feel bad, I only discovered this type of metal when Covid started and couldn't understand why I hadn't heard things like this a long time ago. I love the poetry of WT, it hits me hard and I get all choked up as well. Their most recent full length LP is 'Resist", you might like that too. Great band indeed. Good review as well, seeing someone's ideas being "adjusted" in a good way is a cool thing. Take care and 🤘
Within Temptation used to be a lot more Symphonic at the beginning and they've gone through an evolution of going more "mainstream" hard rock. This song though they do manage to balance both of things extremely well and I absolutely adore it!
Yes, exactly! I was way too stuck with the idea of a super melodic version of them, this really took me by surprise! 😳 I guess I thought that once they've done what they did for so many years, they won't tweak their style. But how wrong was I!
@@michareacts They started to change their sound around 2014 with the album Hydra. 😁
@@TauriReacts Prior to 'Hydra' the fantastic 'The Unforgiving' album in 2011 was their major step away from the Symphonic Metal sound and was more of a Hard Rock album. I personally love that this bands sound changes with each release. Keeps them very fresh in my opinion.
They are one of my favorite bands of all time and like you said, the imagery they create is just beautiful. Sharon is breathtaking. I look forward to every new song.
I wanted to recommend a song for you to listen to from them, featuring Tarja Turunen. It’s called Paradise (What About Is.) The marriage of their voices together is just endgame for me. If you do listen, I hope you enjoy.
I love ur reaction thank u for that :) i watched them live at the worlds collide they play this song it was sooo amazing
Well welcome on the WT train 😄
I don't know what era of their music you are familiar with, but anything from their 2008 concert "Black Symphony" is top notch. Notably "The Truth Beneath The Rose" and "The Promise".
Their last work is a bit more like this, for example "Raise Your Banner" and "The Purge" are great.
Thank you! 🔥 Hate to admit but yes, stuff from over 10 years ago and that isn't a good excuse anymore haha... But now I'm wiser to not judge especially if it's been this long since I last heard them! I mean, music itself and producing music has evolved unbelievably much the last 10/20 years so it would be stupid of me to miss out on purpose!
Please react the song "Raise Your banner" from their last album 🖤🖤🖤 Amazing song !
Additional note; react to the lyric video of this song since it doesn't cut out the cool parts.
@@InfinityZ808 exactly !
Thank you for the suggestion! 🔥
Dicen que rectificar es de sabios y tú lo has hecho; felicidades por el vídeo y un saludo desde España ❤❤❤
Muchas gracias 💙 ¡Saludos de vuelta a España! 💙
During their previous artistic approach phase, They had an album called Hydra. There is one particular song on that album which is lesser known that I believe is almost a perfect production.... It is very hard for them to sing live though. It paints an epic picture from intro to outdoor.
I had wished that they would have made an official video of it... The song is:::
TELL ME WHY. A great studio work of art.
Oh, I really need to hear that one!
BEAUTIFUL song by Within Temptation, I'm mind-blown that I left myself out on their talent for so many years. Jumping back on the fan back again! ❤🔥 Oh and I said "Without Warning" at one point, obviously meant Within Temptation 😅
I also love SHED MY SKIN, ft Annisokay, on this EP.
around 2011 or 12 They started to explore and evolve... with a themed album ::: the unforgiving ::: It was a step away from their symphonic heavy metal sound of the silent force and the heart of everything. Then they came back stronger with the album ::: Hydra :::.
More recently they did have their album resist, Which I have not listened to too much. During the covid crap I finally started being on RUclips and whand was scanning a lot of new things such as Dimash, Angelina Jordan, OG3NE, Post Modern Jukebox, and a power metal band called unleash the archers, From Vancouver Canada and I highly recommend you listen to that... The female front singer is more alto but she can still head an A5 belt , or something like that.
👋 Really great new song from WT, I've been listening to WT since their first album (Enter). Open reaction - I like❣
(Added: WT did some featuring songs a few (I think 8 or 9) years ago, here are two of them 'Paradise' (What About Us?) ft. Tarja Turunen and 'And We Run' ft. Xzibit. And a bit more recent 'Shed My Skin' ft. Annisokay last year, I hope these tell you something)
What's up Micha great reaction the song is cool I can dig . Keep smashing the reactions.
Thank you! How are you doing this wonderful Tuesday?
@@michareacts I'm excellent thank you for asking
How wonderful to see you so moved by their music!!! Welcome back to the band :)
If you didn’t like their early stuff, I’m gonna take a guess that it was from their first two albums Mother Earth and The Silent Force-which, I don’t blame you! I still really love those albums personally, but they do sound different, much lighter and more fantasy-based, if that makes sense. Still, maybe you want to give them another try now that you know where they are today! The Promise and Stand My Ground are good. And even if you don’t love symphonic metal, I think you might enjoy their third album, The Heart of Everything. That’s where they really mastered the symphonic sound they were going for and it feels SO much more epic and dark than the first two. One great track you might like is The Howling.
After that though, they decided to move on, and it’s something I just adore about them-they’ve never wanted to stick with the same thing until it was worn out. Once they felt they’d achieved what they wanted with pure symphonic metal, they asked “what can we do next?” They have such a humble approach to music and always want it to reflect who and where they are now.
Their next album was an 80s-rock concept album called The Unforgiving, and it’s really cool. My favorite tracks are Iron, Faster, and Empty Eyes. This is also when Sharon really started leaning into her lower range to match the heavier sound of the music and WOW does this woman have some power behind that angelic sound. Especially for being a mostly self-taught vocalist, the seemingly effortless control she has over her voice is stunning.
It’s funny to think that their next album, Hydra, is considered kind of dissatisfactory among the band, because it has SO many bangers and amazing collaborations. They started experimenting with urban influences in their music and felt like they didn’t really achieve as much of a change as they wanted, but the end product is still fantastic. Some of the best songs are Dangerous ft Howard Jones, Paradise ft Tarja, and Let Us Burn (the live performance of that from the Elements concert is where you’ll come to understand why one of Sharon’s nicknames is Mother of Dragons ;)
Their most recent album was Resist, and it’s very cool with a heavily industrial, anthemic sound. Within Temptation has always put a lot of social messages/criticisms in their songs, but this is where they really went off, with top hits like The Reckoning, Raise Your Banner, and the more emotional power ballad Mercy Mirror.
in the few years since then, they’ve been releasing singles leading up to the release of their new album slated for next year, and Don’t Pray For Me is the latest. It’s a really special song actually, because it shows the return of a lot of elements from The Heart of Everything-from the aesthetics and religious allusions to the more symphonic sound and Sharon’s beautiful high vocals. But it’s also perfectly meshed with the best elements of Resist. I just adore it so much, but all four of their singles have been some of their best work ever, in my book.
Entertain You feels almost punk-influenced and it’s definitely unlike anything else they’ve done, The Purge is super dark and Sharon really shows off with her deeper vocals, and Shed My Skin ft metalcore band Annisokay just has a wonderfully *massive* feel to it. They’re just incredible artists and I’m SO excited for this new sound they’re leaning into. It really does feel like an epic combination of all their previous eras and I really think the next album could be their best work yet.
Thank you for your message! It was really nice to read about your point of view and knowledge about the band! And thank you so much for taking the time to share it with me in such a thoughtful comment! ❤
Sounds about right regarding the albums you mentioned and exactly as you described - more lighter and more fantasy-based. And that isn't necessarily a bad vibe to go for, but with the combination and my personal preference, I never felt quite connected to it. But you're right that giving those albums a second chance so many years later (and with an evolved appreciation towards music in different styles) I might see the beauty in them. So I will definitely do that! 🔥
Their mentality about moving forward and ending an "era" once they feel they've completed their mission is actually a very good method, or sounds like it at least. That way you get to experience something but you don't get too attached to it. I also like the concept of doing albums in a certain theme anyway, changing them up, so I'm curious to see how they evolved. I should really start from the beginning and approach the albums almost like a long series of books! They clearly share a similar mentality with me when it comes to producing, projecting themselves and growing as musicians. I like that ❤
You mentioned Sharons voice and how that has evolved - that was something that definitely wowed me when I heard this song. Because I was so "used to" that ultra angelic light voice. It had so much more contrast and dimension. Stunning sound. But of course, when I jump from 2008 to 2022 that is most likely going to happen and it is a very positive change! Amazing technique!
Thank you once again for this vert deep and thoughtful analysis! Very interesting and eye opening to read how you felt about their growth and what they were going for at each point. I love discussions like this! ❤ Hope you have a lovely evening and I hope to see you hanging around in the future too! 🤘🏻
@@michareacts Aw your reply makes me so happy! You're so kind, and I really like how open and honest you are about your opinions. I'm kinda the same way about their first two albums--I love them for being part of the band's journey and appreciate the artistry, but I definitely have to be in a specific mood to listen to them, compared to things from THOE on which I'll play ALL the time. As you said, they've never quite connected with me the same way.
If you do decide to go back to their earlier stuff, here's a tip: The live performances from the Black Symphony concert are probably what you want to watch. It was a professionally recorded concert and covered songs from their first three albums, accompanied by a full orchestra and choir. So even if you end up still not loving the symphonic sound, hopefully you'll enjoy the energy and grandeur of the performance! Even sick, Sharon was marvelous, and the entire thing just has an *epic* feel to it.
I'll definitely be checking out more of your content :) I already saw some other bands I know in your current videos, like Arch Enemy and Spiritbox!
@@RoseForEverafter Thank you ❤ There is so much music our there, so many styles, something for everybody 🔥 I find so much comfort in music that even if something isn't quite my taste, I know it might be very speaking and comforting to someone else. Music has a strong healing power mentally and as long as they keep providing happiness to people, I'm all for it!
I will definitely check that out, sounds very good! It would be so cool to play with a live orchestra, what an experience! Dimmu Borgir has done that a few times and it looks absolutely epic, makes it even more sinister 🔥
@@michareacts I love that mentality so much! Honestly music might be the best thing the human race has done.
I'll have to check out Dimmu Borgir! Never heard of them, but I love orchestra and love sinister vibes!
@@RoseForEverafter I agree with you 100% ❤ Music is the best thing 🔥
Dimmu is my favourite black metal band 🔥 I'm not into older raw black metal, Dimmu's strong orchestral elements makes is easier to listen too since black metal can be quite harsh!
Amazing band 🤘🏻🔥🥰🖤 Don't Pray For Me is perfect song!!!
Amazing song 🤘🏻
I hadn't heard this power since the silent force album and the title Stand my ground, even if there is no comparison... the return of a great Within Temptation...
I agree 🔥
React to "Faster" of Within Temptation.
You could try the purge song it's great too 👌
Schooled
Please check out The Fallen Prodigy Feat Will Ramos of Lorna Shore song called Repeat.
I did that and that will be published tomorrow, the song was SO cool!! 🔥
@@michareacts I can't wait to see it have a great day or night.. Thank you for getting this reaction done your awesome
I am wondering which era you stopped paying attention to within temptation.... I found them and have been extremely in love with Sharon's vocals and their power ability and emotiveness since 2010...
Did you quit after their earlier or after their super orchestral symphonic heavy metal culminating with black Symphony concert?
Or was it when they went on a different path and did more retro hard rock And there are many collaborations?
While back in the early 2 thousands they did start dabbling with the Strife and apocalyptic Themes and messages that surely are in the post the apocalyptic mode right now.. And the Strife continues.
They did a virtual concept concert which was quite visually interesting during the covid lockdown c***.
I think it is still on RUclips where you can watch the entire show free, as it was originally Pay Search THE AFTERMATH.
It was a very quick era that I listened to them, but I think it was my overall dislike of symphonic metal which never gave them a fair chance to be honest. So my knowledge of their stuff is just scraping to surface!
You’ll be surprised with their latest songs. They now are closer to a modern urban downtuned-metalcore(ish) sound…
Well said! I will definitely give them a listen!
@@michareacts We definitely think you'll like "Shed My Skin", which features the German metal core band Annisokay. Also "The Purge, "Raise Your Banner"... all of them going with this new direction for the band
You have definitely missed out a lot of good stuff then. Go do some catch up and you'll be pleasantly surprised I think. Sharon has a gorgeous voice and the band really are tight. Sharon did state a few months ago that the band is going to be moving into a new direction, so it will be interesting to see where they go.
Honesty is good girl - one has to be honest with how one feels. #Micha#MindBlown
Well in that case I will surely be following them and checking out their new content! This is why I'm so excited to be doing reactions, I get to see what bands are up to, hear about new great music and talking to you guys! 🔥
That actually kicks a bit more than I expected. Like Epica when they're feeling their oats. For me pure symphonic metal is a bit blase, I need something more keep my interest, some other ingredient. The heavy electronic elements here will do nicely. Great reaction!
I've had the same thought about pure symphonic metal as well. I actually never quite fancied Nightwish either. Now that Floor is singing I think it's the best it has ever been, but still not a band that's on my playlist. Tarja was such a hard core opera singer which is not my taste, even if I appreciate the talent. But that almost gothic opera combined with hyper symphonic metal has never tickled my ears. With this band though and especially tweaking their style a bit more away from that tacky symphonic sound, Sharon's vocals (which are more of a melodic pop) combined with a bit of roughness from the instruments was a positive and interesting surprise. If this is the way they are evolving, I will have to eat my words on them from the past!
@@michareacts The one I've always fancied the most is Charlotte Wessels. I think it's because she has more of a folk tone than strictly symphonic
Ik ga gewoon stuk van d'r stem
Hello
