  Within Temptation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Founded by guitarist Robert Westerholt and vocalist Sharon den Adel, their music is variously described as symphonic metal and sometimes by the media as gothic metal, from which they take influence.
Long-term partners Robert Westerholt (on guitar) and Sharon den Adel (vocals) began the band in 1996, quickly adding Jeroen van Veen on bass guitar, Martijn Westerholt at the keyboard and (following a succession of short lived-drummers), Ivar de Graaf.
The band also reported that they were busy working on their next album, due to be released during the fall, and that they would start playing at festivals starting in April, in addition to going on an international tour at the end of the year [2].

Robert does all of the vocal work, and his monotonous growls are void of any real personality or passion.
When Robert joins in for a mini-duet in the song's bridge, the beauty'n'beast combination actually works to the band's advantage.

 Nucleus
But next to the whole band, Robert Westerholt in voices and guitars (that also participates in the CD of Ayreon); Martijn Westerholt in keyboards; Ivar de Graaf in drums; Jeroen van Veen in bass and Michiel Papenhove in guitars, the topic even sounds more good, powerful, strong, seductive.
Then the sound of the door and the invitation, rotten voice of Robert by means of: Welcome to my house!; it is "Enter", the second topic, where Sharon again invites us: they come my close, enters to my private rooms...
This makes that the band sounds with a terrible force and that the intensity of the sound is made bigger than topic to topic, creating a potent and dark climate at the same time; that it is clear that intensity is not synonymous, in this case, of strong volume.

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.
