A good thing Leave's Eyes has a new album coming out this summer to pass the time.

Really? I'll have to make an effort to had that fact from my dad and brother they love Leaves' Eyes... Ergh.

No offense of course!!

None taken.


I'd actually like to see a concept album from WT. It would be different from anything they've ever done before.

From the newsletter:

Meanwhile we're very busy working on our new album in the studio. The first songs have been written! :-) We'll keep you posted.

So we have some songs thats exciting. Good to see they are working hard.

So they're not really on a hiatus. Sharon's just being pregnant and Ruud is building stuff and the band is writing & recording.

No, I really hate the word hiatus. System Of A Down are on a hiatus, not WT. They're just writing the new album and having a baby, which is understandable for a break.

It's nice to know they are actually in the studio though

Ah!That's amazing! We might have the album by the end of this year!

I think we might actually get it before October (the Fanclub Day). I'm hella excited for it and I'm curious to find out what style they're going to use.

Guys, it's coming out in January

I didn't want to make a new topic, because I've made the mistake before

So I was lurking around the Official Forum and I stumbled across these...'leaked songs titles'.

Quote :

Again, new (probably) work-titles of new songs leaked out,

1. “BROKEN”(Westerholt, Robert / Gibson, Daniel Björn)
2. “WHERE DID I GO”(Westerholt, Robert / Gibson, Daniel Björn)
3. “LIKE A BUTTERFLY”(Westerholt, Robert / Gibson, Daniel Björn)
4. “THAT IS WHO I AM”(Westerholt, Robert / Gibson, Daniel Björn)
5. “HOW ARE YOU”(Adel den, Sharon / Holleman, Oscar / Merkelbach, Rene / Westerholt, Robert)

4. Is I think the song "Thats Who I Am", written by Robert, for Chris Jones. Not sure of that one

These songs are NOT confirmed. Source: BMI

Now to be completely honest I think the names are rather...cheesy. Of course I don't know if they're true and if they are I don't know how the lyrics are etc. But come on, if they tried to go back to the 'Enter era' they must have considered to go a bit darker. 'Like A Butterfly'?

Opinios?

I dunno. I'd say Sharon's name is usually by every WT song because it's her and Robert writing them. And as Robert is writing for Chris Jones I reckon they're more likely to be songs for him. Plus I dont fancy a song called 'How Are You'

I cant see Sharon only having part in one song though.

I guess that if I saw THOE's songs leaked before the album was out and I saw 'What Have You Done' I'd be left oddly dissapointed. I guess I find every song title odd but the song itself lovely

I agree about Sharon not beeing a part of them, though. Even Martijn has a song-writting part in the band!

'Like a Butterfly' sounds pretty much pretty for me *points to username*

But I doubt these are the actual song titles.I mean 'How are You' sounds quite lame But if there's going to be a song like that,and if it would be a very good song I wouldnt mind it,at all

I doubt it , too. Though "Where Did I Go" sounds a bit WT-ish to me.

Some of those names are pretty good

Does anybody know which style Within Temptation's going to have on their new album? From what I've heard, something like "electric", "power", something like that? Either way, I'm excited. Also, is there no album title yet?

^ I just read that they want to bring Black Symphony and An Acosutic Night At The Theatre closer together. And they would like to make some more organic songs like The Cross.

^ Mm, I can second that. Not certain of the source, but I do recall Sharon saying the new material would be going in the general direction of The Cross.

Don't forget The Cure and NIne Inch Nails influences.She said that on a FaceCulture interview if I'm not mistaking.

Really? I must make a note to sift through FaceCulture for this...

If that's the case, then I'm down for that. Doesn't sound like a bad thing at all, and I love The Cross, so it seems like a good direction to take.

I'm not sure if it was faceCulture interview but I certainly KNOW she said it somewhere...

Anyone have any ideas as to what the concept is for the new album?

So far we know the recording was about "pain, murders, killers vengeance, screaming and more of that", and we have the Queen teaser from yesterday.



So far I'm thinking monarchies and revolutions, but that's more to do with the word "queen" itself than the actual picture. What are your speculations?

That's the kind of outfit I can imagine Cher wearing in the 80's.

OH MY SHARON, that is AMAZING!! Having a major freak-out in the middle of photography now... So excited! Can't wait for the WT TV episode!

I must say that I have maybe read three comic books in my life, but I'm curious what the songs are gonna be like.
