I keep meaning to go and check out Within Temptation, but I always keep forgetting. I have listened to one of their songs, 'Faster' I think, but I can't remember how it goes at all. I really think I'd like them as well. I'm always up for female-fronted bands in general. Also, I prefer Anette to Tarka, I think, simply based on the material I've heard from both of them. I don't know too much about the circumstances of the 'hate', either. Will look out for that, thanks. I was planning to delve into the earlier stuff at some point, that could be a good way. I don't think I'd have been interested in the movie otherwise , but now it's one of the ones I'm looking most forward to seeing this year. Probably just to see how they use Nightwish in it, but it doesn't sound a bad storyline. On a completely different note... [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el5hjlV2gxI[/yt]
I'd recommend Within Temptation, but their two best albums, "The Silent Force" and "The Heart of Everything". The first two and the most recent are good too, but those are the best IMHO.
Just listened to a preview track (You and Your Blues) from Van Halen's soon to be released A Different Kind of Truth. I'd have to give it
