Within Temptation American Debut

05/11/07
. (PR) Holland�s award-winning band Within Temptation is set to embark on their first visit to North America this May in anticipation of their U.S. debut album, The Heart of Everything, due out on Roadrunner Records on July 24. The band is a staple on the European music scene, having stemmed from a loyal homeland following and a strong footing in the modern gothic rock community. Fusing poignantly composed rock with ethereal female vocals, the band has achieved muti-platinum success across Europe, fostered by relentless touring. A solid lineup, Within Temptation is vocalist Sharon den Adel, guitarists Robert Westerholt and Ruud Jolie, keyboardist Martijn Spierenburg, drummer Stephen van Haestregt and bassist Jeroen van Veen. The first single from The Heart of Everything is entitled, �What Have You Done,� and includes guest vocals by Keith Caputo, vocalist of Life of Agony.

Exposing their music to US audiences will prove to be a new chapter for Within Temptation, as they join the Hottest Chicks of Metal tour as direct support to fellow female metallers Lacuna Coil, along with Stolen Babies, and In This Moment. The Revolver Magazine sponsored tour will span throughout the US and Canada, kicking off on May 5th and running through June 6th.
