Within Temptation - New Album Title Revealed
Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation has released the following statement:
"We're really excited to be able to finally announce the title of our new album.
Recently we've started giving clues on the website about our concept album. As you might have noticed our concept album is going to be based on a comic book series, written by Steven O'Connell (BloodRayne & Dark 48). We've asked comic artist Romano Molenaar (Witchblade, Darkness and X-men) to draw the characters and scenery.
The new album and comic will be titled: The Unforgiving.
On this album, we've taken a totally different approach. Each song on The Unforgiving was written along Steven's narrative. The main characters of the comic are reflecting the characters of our songs. The concept pushed us and gave inspiration to come up with a new approach in our sound. It resulted in writing our best songs so far.
We have been big comic fans since our childhood. With this album we felt the time was there to take a new step in our creative development, take it further and broaden our horizon. Next to the concept form of the album, the songs are more divers than ever before. In addition, the music of the late 80ies, that's when we started to read comic books, certainly has left a mark on our new sound.
The album is set for release in March 2011, but our loyal visitors knew this already."

I believe this could some kind of rock opera/symphony like Xmen symphony or smthng  There will be less emtal for sure, but I believe they can make a brilliant epic album

I don't know what to think of this... Seriously... : The idea sounds interesting, though. Let's hope for the best! (Or at least something better than their last record...)

This sounds interesting. If only they could bring something like Mother Earth again... or maybe something less commercial... *Wakes up*!

Written by Irritable Ted on 21.11.2010 at 12:35 I on the other hand loved it. But it was my first metal record that I listened to, so I am extremely biased

A band with comics influences ... I've seen metal bands like that before. What really concerns me is the following statement: "In addition, the music of the late 80ies, that's when we started to read comic books, certainly has left a mark on our new sound." I sense they may destroy their reputation.

Interesting idea that could work but also have a massive failure potential. We'll just have to wait and see
