Within Temptation Posted A Follow-up Concept Story For 'Sinéad'

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Thursday, June 9, 2011

Dutch symphonic metal rock outfit Within Temptation have released a music video for "Sinéad." The video takes place at a nightclub where things soon get very dangerous. The irresistible, fan-favourite track is the second single from Within Temptation's fifth studio and first concept album, "The Unforgiving." Choosing to release "Sinéad" as the follow-up underlines the band's ambition to break down the walls between musical genres. "Sinéad" is the most catchy song Within Temptation have ever written; a euphoric disco-metal stomper with the potential to become the ultimate crossover-hit on the dance floors this summer.
It is the beginning of a new era for Within Temptation. With undeniable disco grooves, the band took this opportunity to further enhance the track's dance floor appeal; commissioning special remixes from four acclaimed dance producers. Already triumphant in rock and metal, Within Temptation now experiment further with the extremes of rock and dance, merging these seemingly disparate genres to create contagious new versions of "Sinéad," which is blurring the lines between rock, dance, pop, and metal music in an unprecedented way.
The band enlisted the help of trance producer Benno de Goeij, electro-industrial artists VNV Nation, and happy hardcore band Scooter to put together a remix with heavy dance influences, departing from their usual Gothic rock fare. "We thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if 'real' dance [artists] would remix the track," said the band on their website" "'Sinéad' has always been a favorite of all of us. She is a character with a lot of different opposite sides to her, just like the song. It is catchy and feel good but at the same time emotional and melancholic. So from the start it was quite clear that 'Sinéad' would be released as a single from this album."
Such dark subject matter abounds in "The Unforgiving." In a February interview with Metal Ways, frontwoman Sharon den Adel stated, "The story is about people who have done bad things not because they are bad, but because they made bad decisions." With such a somber overtone, it is difficult to imagine how "Sinéad" could be transformed into a dance song. Within Temptation have promised to keep fans posted. Adel's voice and the bombastic rock of Within Temptation are a truly unique mixture. Her voice always sounds incredible but, on this track, it reaches a whole new level of beautiful, intense, and fragile emotion.
