""Mother Earth" is simply a reference for symphonic neo-Gothic metal."

Mother Earth is the second album of the Dutch band Within Temptation. On their first album and the EP that followed, they proposed an atmospheric metal with a Gothic tendency. The whole thing was certainly quite nice but handicapped by male vocals unsuited to Sharon Den Adel's magnificent voice.
For this second opus, the group leaves only Sharon sing and chooses to soften its music a little. The strength of Mother Earth comes from the voice. Very soft, it is able to give a symphonic side to the titles by its ability to go quite high in the high notes. As for music, we find the common ingredients of the genre. Big riffs, choirs, solos, etc. The content is even enhanced with symphonic passages of the most beautiful effect. It's melodious, fast and very efficient.
"Mother Earth" is a very beautiful metal album that positions itself between gothic and melodic. Three years after its release, the band continues to tour to promote it. Will they be able to give a successor as good ? - Official website

LAST INTERVIEW
WITHIN TEMPTATION (NOVEMBER 2018)

Taking advantage of Within Temptation's great European tour, we met Sharon Den Adel who confided without restraint in her life as an artist, a woman, a mother, a daughter,... A plunge into the intimacy of this entire artist.
