One of my favourite bands Very Happy I know Holymagica's a fan but anyone else here into them?

I discovered them by chance last year on a free Roadrunner CD. Got all four of their albums now and there's not a bad song they've ever done. I just love Sharon's voice.

Here's a few of their videos:

Dutch symphonic metallers WITHIN TEMPTATION have posted several photos of the rehearsal sessions for the group's February 7 sold-out performance at the Black Symphony event at Ahoy in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Black Symphony is 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 will come from LIFE OF AGONY frontman Keith Caputo and his solo band.

WITHIN TEMPTATION's November 24, 2007 concert at the Beursgebouw in Eindhoven, Holland was 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).

WITHIN TEMPTATION's latest album, "The Heart of Everything", sold 7,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 106 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's first U.S. release for Roadrunner Records, "The Heart of Everything" also topped the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

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."

Unfortunately last time they came here they played Brixton and no matter who I went with my dad has said I'm not going there. Not the nicest of places Laughing I'm gonna hope they play the Astoria or Hammersmith next time. And I'm gonna hope it's soon.

And you're right they can never realease enough dvds. I watched the Silent Force Tour a while back and thougt it was amazing. Just made me even more desperate to see them Crying or Very sad

On another note do you know of anywhere I can get their cover of Running Up That Hill for less than £50 Shocked ???
