WITHIN TEMPTATION Announces New Drummer

February 22, 2011

Dutch female-fronted symphonic metallers WITHIN TEMPTATION have announced the addition of drummer Mike Coolen (SILKSTONE, MAIDEN UNITED) to the group's ranks.

Commented the band: "[Mike] has played with us in the past on a few occasions before. The chemistry has always been very good both on stage as on personal level so he was the first on our mind."

A short introductory video from Mike can be viewed below.

WITHIN TEMPTATION's fifth studio album, "The Unforgiving", was produced by Daniel Gibson and is based on a comic book story written by script writer Steven O'Connell (BloodRayne, Dark 48). The band asked comic artist Romano Molenaar (Witchblade, Darkness, X-Men) to draw the characters and scenery of "The Unforgiving", which is set for release via Sony Music in Continental Europe and Roadrunner Records in the U.S., U.K. and Ireland, Japan and Australia. The films are based on the comic storyline; the characters are impersonated by actors. Each film is followed by a band performance that, all together, form a dark and compelling tale of life, love, revenge, rage, and regret.

WITHIN TEMPTATION will play a special one-off U.S. show at Terminal 5 in New York City on Saturday, September 10.
