WITHIN TEMPTATION The Unforgiving (2011 UK Deluxe Edition 2-disc
[CD/DVD] album set - Returning with their fifth studio album, 'The
Unforgiving' is the band's first foray into concept album territory, the
concept being based on a graphic novel written specifically for the
band by celebrated author Steven O'Connell [and illustrated by
Romano Molenaar, which will be published in six parts over the course
of this year]. The album as a body of work also covers the full
spectrum of what Within Temptation have built their careers on to date
but done better. Tracks that have been picked out as singles from this
album, 'Faster', 'Sinead' and 'Shot In The Dark' have all achieved a
song-craft that has not been seen in previous albums, each
possessing instantly memorable 'pop' melodies. Elsewhere, the
blissfully metallic 'In The Middle Of The Night', the epic bombast of
'Iron' and the exhilarating drama of 'Where Is The Edge' are the
sound of a great band in the form of their lives, as they explore every
facet of their own sound, revelling in the multi-layered and
consistently fascinating outcome. Comes complete with a Bonus
DVD including 3 short film & music performance videos, 'Where
Is The Edge' & 'Utopia' videos, making of the videos footage and a
Comic photo gallery!).
