Within Temptation’s last studio album ‘The Heart of Everything’ entered the European Billboard Chart in the Top-5 and crashed in at #1 in the U.S. Heatseeker Chart. The following world tour saw the band play sold out shows and festivals in 43 countries as well as the spectacular 10,000 capacity “Black Symphony” concert in Rotterdam with the Metropole Orchestra and PA‘dam choir. British magazine Kerrang! called it "the greatest show on earth!”. This Black Symphony concert, filmed with 14 HD-Cameras, was released in 40 countries reaching a Top-10 position in 11 of them (Top-3 in 8). To name just a few of their accolades, by the end of 2008 Within Temptation had won the Dutch Music Export Award 3 consecutive times, 2 World Music Awards, and 2 MTV Europe Video Awards. Late 2008 also saw Within Temptation performing their first acoustic theatre tour which was such a rousing success, the band repeated the sold-out experience this Spring.

As for stunning Within Temptation vocalist Sharon den Adel, not only did she compose the hit song ‘In And Out Of Love’ with #1 dance DJ Armin van Buuren – the video for which has received more than 60 million views on YouTube – but she is shortly to collaborate with acclaimed fashion designer Ronald Kolk. Kolk is particularly known for his decadent work with stars such as Grace Jones, Tina Turner, and Bette Midler. On September 6th, Sharon will open the couturier’s “Couture Boudoir Noir” show for 550 select guests in the ballroom of the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam. Look out for their creations in an upcoming Within Temptation photo shoot and at these European headline shows.
