| | Den Adel's vocals, particularly on the band's recent Mother Earth album, are simply beautiful. | | | Music-wise, Within Temptation show two different styles, with Enter being more in the atmospheric gothic metal, approaching doomdeath at times due to guitarist Robert Westerholt's death vocals sung alongside Den Adel. | | | Here, the band might remind one of Orphanage or perhaps early Theatre Of Tragedy due to the dual singing styles. |

| | Robert had been in a band called The Circle (which was named Voyage later on) before and he turned to ex-members of this band to see if they were interested in joining a new band. | | | Robert Westerholt, who had already found a singer (his girlfriend Sharon den Adel), started the band. | | | Besides Robert Westerholt (guitar) and Sharon den Adel (singer), Within Temptation consists of: Jeroen van Veen (bass guitar), Martijn Spierenburg (keyboards), Stephen van Haestregt (drums) and Ruud Jolie (guitar). |

| | He can imagine them focussing on the songs most influenced by folk music, but that will be their only concession as their music is their music. | | | Both in the songs in which she is haunted by electric guitars and in the songs in which she sings her mystical lyrics accompanied by harp music, she and the musicians manage to create music that makes you feel as if you are in the middle of a great adventure. | | | Guitar-player Robert Westerholt told me that this is exactly what they want. |

| Â | Within Temptation - Enter -- Chronicles of Chaos - Album Review |
| | While angelic female vocals (by the superb Sharon den Adel) accompanied by a powerful showing of synthesizers dominate this release, the band also brings into the fold heavy guitars and the rough death growls of singer Robert Westerholt. | | | The music is memorable and deserves to be mentioned as it truly showcases the band's ability to capture a triumphant sound that band's rarely can reach. | | | The music of Within Temptation can best be described as melodic, slow metal, very similar to labelmates Orphanage or Century Media's The Gathering. |

| | Robert had been writing songs for a couple of years already, so when we got together we took pieces of ideas and tried to create new songs. | | | When Within Temptation was founded, almost all of us had been playing in similar bands (The Circle, Voyage), and Robert (who started everything) already had a mental picture of what the music should sound like. | | | MP: For this album, it hasn't been very difficult. |

| | Robert told me that George Oosterhoek of Orphanage could release the most chilling screams, and when I asked him if he wanted to join in, George wanted to participate right away. | | | George was here together with Sharon and Robert, and, while recording Sharon, I wondered where the two devilish deathmetal grunters had been all that time. | | | I was about to record Sharon den Adel, and her boyfriend Robert Westerhold is the grunter of ‘Within Temptation’. |

| | Their first album featured a big contrast with the grunting vocals of Robert Westerholt and the clear voice of Sharon den Adel. | | | Westerholt now only plays guitair, whereas Van Adel gets room for her Celtic-sounding melodies. | | | The band was often compared with The Gathering but that won’t happen again now that their latest album Mother Earth is released. |

| Â | DPRP CD Reviews - 2003 - Volume 15 - Easter Special |
| | For those who are not familiar with the band, they are a 6-piece band from the Netherlands who consist of Robert Westerholt (guitar) and his girlfriend Sharon den Adel (singer), as well as long-time member Jeroen van Veen (bass guitar) and more recent additions Martijn Spierenburg (keyboards), Stephen van Haestregt (drums) and Ruud Jolie (guitar). | | | Orn Deception is a long track which starts with a repetitive verse backed by meandering piano and untreated electric guitar, which eventually build to a crescendo, to be replaced by a mandolin-like guitar part and piano, supporting a stronger vocal than the start of the song. | | | They started out with a dark Gothic Metal sound on their debut album Enter before softening their sound considerably and adding more than a touch of folk and symphonic elements for the second full CD release Mother Earth in 2000. |

| Â | Within Temptation at Musical Discoveries |
| | In addition to Sharon den Adel (vocals), Within Temptation has most recently been comprised of Robert Westerholt (guitars), Jeroen van Veen (bass), Ivar de Graaf (drums), Marjin Westerholt (keyboards), Martjin Spierenburg (keyboards) and Michiel Papenhove (guitars) [recently departed, but still runs the band's website]. | | | Within Temptation's dark metal roots shine through in the title track and "Deep Within." In "Enter," heavy guitar riffs blend with Robert's dark metal vocals before Sharon's sweetly contrasting lead and lush keyboards enter the frenzy. | | | The Dance EP issued the following year, marked a slight departure from their early style with a (slight) reduction in the use of the harsh Death Metal (grunting) vocals of guitarist Robert Westerholt and a move to a softer, more symphonic sound—a move which continues further on their latest album. |

| | Personally, I was part of a blues cover band and then suddenly Robert asked me if I wanted to join his band because the previous singer didn’t show up half of the time. | | | At the time I was more into Marillion, Fish, the Cure, Iron Maiden and death metal but I definately knew we wanted to create bombastic pleasing music which was both melodic and heavy at the same time," replies Robert. | | | It’s better to agree before the start on the concert so Robert knows how far he can go bearing in mind he has to take care of my vocal range." But how is it that a classically trained voice suddenly finds its way into a sombre sounding metal environment? |
