Robert Westerholt and Sharon Janny the Nobility founded the Symphonic Metal band. Privately, the Dutch are a couple and have two children. The single Ice Queen brought them platinum and gold and helped in 2002 to international breakthrough. Characteristic of the band was initially the high vocals of frontwoman Sharon. Stylistically, the band started in Gothic Metal. With new sound, fast guitar riffs and guitar solos, Within Temptation has become a successful rock band. Also this year the band will carry their fans along again.

After their Top 10 album 'Hydra' and their sold out European arena tour, the band present another 'must have' product. The live DVD/Bluray/2CD features two of Within Temptation’s most talked about arena shows ever: the symphonic 'Elements' show from 2012 at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp celebrating the bands 15th anniversary and the final show of the 'Hydra' European tour in the Heineken Music Hall in May 2014. With more than 10 top 10 chart positions for the Hydra album and over 150,000 concert tickets sold in 2014, the band were also honoured with the 'Best Live Band' award by Metal Hammer.
