发行时间：2008年
专辑歌手：Within Temptation
地区：荷兰
语言：英语
内容介绍:

欧洲各国金属乐仍不受到世代转变而稍为停滞，反而更加丰富且旺盛蔓延打动至美国、日本等醉心摇滚文化之族群心中，以女声为主导的乐团，替这阳刚味浓的男性区块，恣意散发迷人且神秘的冷调情感，传达深远辽阔的嗓音诠释张力。完全不输Evanescence的Within Temptation，不仅轻易征服欧洲金属铁汉，更站上国际舞台，让全球更多乐迷体验她们的无穷魅力。

来自荷兰的Within Temptation(以下简称WT)，在原属The Circle吉他手Robert Westerholt离团后，邀请同团伙伴Jeroen van Veen(贝斯手)与Michael Papenhove(吉他手)另起炉灶，再加上Robert女友Sharon den Adel担任主唱，亲弟弟Martijn Westerholt负责键盘手一职与鼓手Dennis Leeflang等六人在1996年正式成军。虽顺利签入荷兰DSFA Records，却传出鼓手Dennis与其他团员不合退团换上Ivar de Graaf。1997-2004年陆续问世《Enter》、《Mother Earth》、《The Silent Force》等三张卖座专辑，吸引金属大厂Roadrunner Records赏识，签下美国发行权。首度登上英国金榜Top38位置的大碟《The Heart Of Everything》，於2007年一连抱走MTV欧洲音乐「最佳荷兰与比利时乐团」、世界音乐「最佳荷兰销售艺人」等重要奖项。

演唱会英文介绍:
This concert was filmed with 14 high definition cameras at Rotterdam's Ahoy on February 7, 2008.
Undoubtedly Within Temptation are absolute masters of this genre; Goth rock, Symphonic rock,
Symphonic metal, pop metal, whatever you want to call it.
This show accentuates their particular style, with 'Frozen', 'Deceiver of Fools' and 'All I Need'
specifically benefitting from the Metropole Orchestra.
While WT are an outstanding rock band, i actually think they are better at the softer ballads.
There's an awesome sit down accoustic section in the middle of the show, 'Forgiven', 'Somewhere'
'The Swan Song' and 'Memories'.
'All I Need' could easily have been tagged onto the end of this section to bring the show back to
the rock level though they do this admirably with 'Our Solemn Hour' and 'The Other Half (Of Me)'.
The band looked genuinely happy to be in Ahoy Rotterdam and welcomed the fans input, which they
duly gave singing along and throwing gifts onstage!
You can see in the eyes of those on the front row it was a fantastic concert, probably fairer to
call it an experience of a lifetime.

演唱会中文介绍:
《Black Symphony》则是WT於2008年2月7日在荷兰鹿特丹Ahoy Arena举办的演唱会实况收音特辑，邀请The Metropole Orchestra管弦乐团以及The Pa'dam Choir合唱团加入其阵容。用壮丽歌德气势弥漫会场，Sharon转为强而有力的声调指引出〈Jillian (I'd Give My Heart)〉；简直是依凡塞斯〈Bring Me To Life〉二部序曲现身的〈What Have You Done〉，交融弦乐凄美与吉他急促飙奏下，一场古典与现代的强烈冲突上演着，请来美国Roadrunner旗下硬蕊摇滚团Life Of Agony主唱Keith Caputo搭腔助阵；入选电影「噬血神差/Blood And Chocolate」预告主题曲的〈Stand My Ground〉，再次让台下乐迷骚动热血不已；气势磅礡的管弦乐辅入与紧密厚实吉他刷扣之〈The Heart Of Everything〉，同时惊喜聆听Sharon扮演天使与魔鬼般的双重嗓音诠释；荷兰的美声歌德金属乐团The Gathering好姐妹女主唱Anneke van Giersbergen友情站台〈Somewhere〉里头；〈The Truth Beneath The Rose〉则持续恣意散发神秘冷调情感，传达深远辽阔声音张力；最后在〈Ice Queen〉画下终曲，但是粉丝群欲罢不能的情绪仍高涨着，久久无法散去的悸动在心中不断窜流。
