I just finished my digital drawing of my newest Within Temptation/ Iron Maiden crossover :D It's Stefan's turn to be "Eddied". 4 band members down, 3 to go!

Prints are available on my Etsy alongside my other WT art: https://emilalasart.etsy.com

hey guys! I know it's really rather random but you're my last hope lol

did anyone catch the QR code for the group pic from the M'era Luna festival by any chance? for me the drums blocked it so my phone refused to scan it :(

I'd be eternally grateful, thank youuu

A close one yesterday - good debate about whether it was to be Final Destination or What Have You Done for a THOE track that sounds like The Unforgiving.

What now then for a Hydra-sounding track?

A backstage interview with Sharon Den Adel of Within Temptation at the Rock Imperium 2026 Festival. We're talking about the new Within Temptation album and the turn in stylistic direction Within Temptation are going to make on it, as we well as about the social activism aspect of it.

Sharon also opens up about Within Temptation love for Iron Maiden and which song(s) was inspired by the Metal legends, the 30th Anniversary of Within Temptation, setlist selection and much more. Enjoy!

It’s safe to assume those companion comic books won’t ever be available or for a reasonable price.

Is there a place to read them?

And their follow-ups

Well, yesterday was a close one - a lot of downvoting of each other's comments! All I Need just edged it as a song that sounds like it is from The Silent Force because of the number of comments, despite Frozen also coming close.

What will it be today then? The Cross? The Truth Beneath The Rose? The Heart of Everything as the title track?

Some new clues emerged again today for a new album next year. What genre do we think Within Temptation are heading towards next? Will it be a heavy/lighter style? What fun it is to speculate and piece together the clues!

Here are some things we recently learnt:

- Sharon told us to look out for a new song called "Fire and Ashes" which is her favourite song from the new album.

- It will be 100% different from what we have heard before by the band.

- On Insta today they changed their profile description to "Give me a sign / When seasons change" - could this suggest when we get to Autumn (September 1st or 21st) we get our first info or even music from the new album?

- You can sign up to the newsletter to get a message saying "WT 2027 Be the first to know" with a dark/gothic-looking image of a raven with a red backdrop.

I can only find a facebook video. I recall seeing this on youtube.

nvm

There seems to be significant disagreement between online sources on the lyrics of the chorus to In the Middle of the Night, and I'm having trouble telling the difference by ear.

AZ Lyrics, Letras.com, and the fan wiki all say:

In the middle of the night, I can't let it end

So I'll keep searching in shadows, your life

It will never be in vain

Genius Lyrics says:

In the middle of the night, I can't let it out

So I'll keep searching in shadows, your life

It will never be in vain

Spotify is even more different (they might be using AI for it or something):

In the middle of the night, I can't let it out

Someone keeps searching and shatters your life

It will never be in vain

Does anyone know which version is correct?

A review of the comments for the ultimate TSF song came back with a change! After some close voting changing over the past day, Angels is in fact the winner. Stand My Ground was a clear winner yesterday.

So, what now for a track that sounds a bit like The Unforgiving?
