Within Temptation is a Dutch symphonic metal band and one of the most successful acts within the genre. The group was founded in 1996 by vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt. The origins of the band trace back to a formation called The Circle. When Robert Westerholt and Jeroen van Veen left that group, The Circle continued under the name Voyage and recorded a debut album titled Embrace. Shortly afterward, Voyage disbanded. Westerholt and Van Veen then continued together under the name The Portal, joined by Westerholt’s partner Sharon den Adel. Although a logo had already been designed for The Portal, the band changed its name to Within Temptation before releasing its first songs. The atmospheric metal sound of their early releases, Enter and The Dance, gained traction in the underground scene. During these formative years, the band performed at Dynamo Open Air. With the release of Mother Earth in 2000, Within Temptation shifted direction, moving away from grunts and embracing a more bombastic, Celtic‑influenced rock sound rather than traditional metal.
