WITHIN TEMPTATION: Video Footage From 'Black Symphony' Concert Available

February 8, 2008

Dutch symphonic metallers WITHIN TEMPTATION performed a sold-out concert last night (Thursday, February 7) at the Black Symphony event at Ahoy in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Black Symphony was a unique concert featuring WITHIN TEMPTATION backed by the 60-piece Metropole Orchestra and a 35-voice classical choir in a spectacular stage setting, backed by Europe's largest video screen (400 sqm) and spiced-up by stunning pyrotechnic and light displays.

Support at the gig came from LIFE OF AGONY frontman Keith Caputo, who also joined the headliners for a rendition of the song "What Have You Done?"

Commented the band: "We'd like to thank everybody who was at the Ahoy yesterday, during our Black Symphony show. We've been playing for 12 years now and during all those years this was something we always wanted to do. It's certainly a milestone in our career and we're happy that we could share it with so many people.

"As some of you might have noticed, we recorded the whole show for an upcoming DVD. We will keep you updated on this sometime soon."

Watch fan-filmed video footage of last night's concert below.

WITHIN TEMPTATION's November 24, 2007 concert at the Beursgebouw in Eindhoven, Holland was also filmed for an upcoming DVD, tentatively due this summer. The sold-out show at the 8,000-capacity venue included lots of special effects, an acoustic section, Broadway-style musical elements and guest appearances by Anneke van Giersbergen (AQUA DE ANNIQUE, ex-THE GATHERING) and George Oosthoek (ex-ORPHANAGE).
