I just recently started listening to Within Temptation. I have been so caught up into listening to bands that will only be playing MFVF 7 everything else has been ignored. Last week I finally unwrapped The Heart of Everything and tossed it into the CD player in my car. I had a couple long trips to drive that day so I listend to the cd like 4 times all the way though. My God! Why had I not been listening to this all along. It is simply an amazing disc. It is very rare I like a disc the first time I listen to it, but I loved this one right away.

Now that I was hooked I ran to the store and bought the Black Symphony on DVD. Once again I was totally amazed. What a fantastic show and the music was supurb. I find it shocking somtimes how a certain band just slips by me, but when I find them it is like a great Christmas present.

Within Temptation has jumped into my top 8 bands I like right now. Nightwish, Tarja, Delain, Within Temptation, Coronatus, Krypteria, Epica, and Midnattsol

yay!!!
you should check out 'The Silent Force' next. It's a masterpiece as well.
You knew Delain but not Within Temptation? That's actually very surprising as Delain is WT's sister band... (or technically brother.... as Martijn the keyboardist and creator of Delain is Robert's brother...)
