Reviews Customer Reviews for The Heart Of Everything      The Howling made me a fan overnight!      Rating:      Outstanding! I'm a newbie to this genre of music, but in the short time I've been into it I've been exposed to Within Temptation, Evanescence, Nightwish, Epica, and several others, and Within Temptation is my favorite of them all. My background is guitar shred music, jazz, and classical. While in the past I've enjoyed the poorly labeled neo-classical shred genre, which is a sad misnomer of the term neo-classical, it was inevitable I'd outgrow it when every other artist out there offered too little substance once I actually did start listening to "real" classical music. In the end, I liked the gothic sound but was put off by the too often poor thematic development and harmonic motion that just became too predictable and derivative of one another. I wouldn't have guessed that 15 years later, taking that genre of music and making the guitars heavier, pronouncing the string ensemble textures a little more, enlisting a choir in the background, and fronting the band with a beautiful soprano whose tone is silky smooth yet can be assertive on demand and having her sing themes that hook and haunt you would be the way to revive that neo-classical stuff into what it should have been in the first place. I've become a very big fan of WT virtually overnight, and this release is a great one. It certainly offers nothing new, but it solidifies WT's place as the chief artist in the genre.     Customer Reviews for The Heart Of Everything Cd      heavy metal + syphony = awesome      Rating:      Whithin Temptation has an interesting style of music which is heavy metal with symphonic sounds as well as a great female vocalist. If you like Evanescence, you'll love Within Temptation. My favorite song on this album is "Our Solemn Hour". Editorial Reviews for The Heart Of Everything Audio Cd      Album Description      US version includes two bonus tracks, 'Stand My Ground' and 'What Have You Done' (Extended Version). 2007 release from the Dutch Gothic Metal band who have been pounding the Metal pavement with their unique brand of hard-edged Metal for over a decade. Their sound is the perfect combination of guitar-driven Hard Rock and ambitious Symphonic Metal. Underneath the aggressive wall of sound lies a secret beauty that can often be dark and uninviting. 13 tracks including 'Howling', 'Frozen' and 'Final Destination'.
