The symphonic metal band Within Temptation is not only Holland's largest musical export, but also our band of focus for this week. Within Temptation's 2011 album "The Unforgiving"; is a concept album that was inspired by the comic book series "The Unforgiving" by BloodRayne writer Steven O’Connell and X-Men comic artist Romano Molenaar.
The comic depicts a world of sinners and killers. Stricken by remorse and bound to damnation, these characters are sent on dangerous missions by Mother Maiden to combat evil in all its forms. In promise of redemption, these lost souls face peril to complete their master's missions.
The concept album depicts these grand tales with the epic ferocity and melodic wonderment that Within Temptation has been mesmerizing fans with for years. You can experience a piece of the album below.
