Customer Ratings & Reviews

if you are anything like me, you probably love heavy metal or simply don't mind heavy guitars. however, we are deeply saddened that most talented bands would rather waste their talent than make music which is enjoyable & listenable. in fact, most bands believe that true heavy metal music involved a great deal of growling or screaming. they couldn't be farther from the truth. within temptation has a terrific lead vocalist who actually has a beautiful voice which may remind one at times of evanescence, lacuna coil, or nightwish. yes, she actually has an incredibly strong voice which demands your undivided attention & gives us all hope that heavy metal is not on it's way out. ofcourse, the band can hold their own too! each song is a powerful statement that metal can be positive & shouldn't rely on unnecessary lyrics containing explicit lanaguage. within temptation has my vote for one of the most innovative metal bands to have come along in quite sometime & it's good to see bands like this this get the recognition they deserve. i only hope the united states will see more of this band in the near future & some of their earlier cds will be released domestically at considrably lower prices. silent force is indeed a force to be reckoned with.
