Within Temptation to dazzle fans with Black Symphony double-DVD 18-06-2008

Earlier this week, Within Temptation dazzled tens of thousands of rock fans with an eye-popping Main Stage performance at the UK’s Download Festival. Renowned for their spectacular live shows, now fans everywhere will have the chance to watch one of the band’s most astounding dates yet. On September 22, Within Temptation will release a brand new double-DVD, titled ‘Black Symphony’.
Their most ambitious staging to date, Black Symphony was a unique concert at Rotterdam’s Ahoy Arena on February 7, 2008. Sold out months in advance, Within Temptation performed to 12,000 fans with the 60-piece Metropole Orchestra and a 30-voice classical choir, as well as on-stage stilt performers, costume changes, and an array of stunning pyrotechnic and lighting effects. The colossal production extended to Europe's largest video screen (a massive 400 sqm), reaching across the entire width of the stage, and 14 full HD cameras. Special guests on the night included Keith Caputo (ex-Life Of Agony), Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering), and George Oosthoek (Orphanage).

The British Kerrang! magazine awarded the concert it’s highest 5K rating and described it as “the best show on earth”.

In addition to the Rotterdam concert, a plethora of bonus content and extensive behind the scenes footage will be included. ‘Black Symphony’ will be available in the following formats: double-DVD format a double-CD and a special Blu-Ray & DVD disc package.

Within Temptation are currently taking over the European festivals, with slots at The Electric Weekend (Spain), Pukkelpop (Belgium), Beatstad (Netherlands), and Rock En France (France) just a fraction of their plans. The band are looking forward to supporting the legendary Iron Maiden in Holland and London next month. For the first time ever, Within Temptation will also take to the stage in Israel, the Ukraine, and Greece this year, before closing 2008 with some exclusive seated shows in The Netherlands and Belgium.
