OMG, WANT. And I'm dying to see the trailer, but it won't play on the school computer...

EDIT: Just watched it. Both the song and the video are fucking epic! I can't wait for this album!!

Omg this is so exciting! cant wait to see and hear all the new material!

I think I'm about to go mad before the actual release date. The trailer's the shit and the song hella makes me want to rock...hard! I KNOW for a fact already that I'm going to love their guitar solos and guitar-driven rythm.

^ you and me both i agree totally with what you just said, i couldnt of said it any better myself! AAaah can't wait! eeee

First single: “Faster”. Premiere: 21-01!

Quote :

“Faster and Faster and Faster”…. the lyrics of Within Temptation’s new single set the pace for the exciting weeks to come.

The energy and adrenalin boasting song will receive its Worldwide Premiere on Guardian Media Group’s ‘Rock Radio’ network in the United Kingdom on Friday January 21st at 9am GMT / 10am CET. Fans worldwide can tune in online to hear the single at www.rockradio.co.uk (those in Manchester can tune in at 106.1 FM and Scotland 96.3FM).

Robert: “Faster” is a song which surprised ourselves. It’s a very fresh new sound wrapped around the 80′ties heart and soul of the track. “Faster” reflects one of the many musical roots we have. Combined with the modern influences on our new album, it’s like the past and future created the present.”

The next milestone in our journey leading to ”The Unforgiving” album release will be the world premiere of one of the movies featured in “The Unforgiving” film trailer. Mark the 31st of January in your calendar, this is the day the door to “The Unforgiving” will open!

More info soon…

*Dead* I cant wait. .friday come quickly!

That's so soon!

At that time it'll be 4 in the morning here...

Someone will rip and post it, right? Surely... *is hopeful*

So, by Friday, we'll have heard 2 and an...eighth..songs off the album! I personally think the videos are gonna be freakin' sweet. But that woman who was seemingly floating toward the camera...do you guys think that was supposed to be Sinéad? 'Cause...no.

'm shaking and crying within temptation are back! epic as ever! im inlove with this song

I'm not keen on it.

It's a cool and catchy song! But that's also what I dislike at Faster. But I ususally don't like singles very much because they're radiofriendly, mainstream etc. But for a single I like it very much. But I also hope that WT have a lot of exacting, epic songs on the album!

I'm sorry if some of you are disappointed with this but I, in the other hand, am more fuckin stocked than ever! I definitely love this Within Temptation and I'm glad they're taking the direction that they are taking. And I'm not saying I don't like their previous albums, or styles, or anything like that cause I still do, trust me! It's just that I, and maybe some of you do as well (or not) love change, and ESPECIALLY if that "change" is in a good, positive direction, then hell to the fuck yeah, why not!? And personally, in my opinion, I believe Within Temptation's going the right direction, ABSOLUTELY! I mean seriously Sharon and the guys are still themselves and all. Sharon still has that fuckin beautiful, powerful, angelic, brings-chills-down-my-spine voice of her's. And what's even cooler is the fact that it only gets fuckin better over time! The guys, they're the most talented they've ever been on their instruments than ever before! So yes, they're still the same awesome people we've grown to love and (hopefully) still love! (Cause I know I fuckin do more so than ever) Plus, we are all aware and know for a fact that Sharon and the guys have ALWAYS loved comics, and books, and movies, so if ANYTHING, this album IS them. And I'm not saying that any of you are saying that they're not or anything like that, but I have read some comments and replies from other fans on YouTube, fb, etc., who say that this album isn't Within Temptation at all, or that it has nothing to do with them, or that they've lost their roots, or whatever...NO, this is SO like them. That's why Within Temptation's so fuckin great and awesome in the first place. They ARE their own, unique style! And in all honesty, for those who have been fans for a long time, or know about Within Temptation's history, this shouldn't even come up as a surprise to anyone. (Almost done) And more power to Within Temptation for using technology, the internet, and other means for exposing themselves and their music to the world and to as many as humanly possible. So yeah, sorry this was supposed to be a reply about what my thoughts were about the song Faster and I know I went off-tangent, but at this point, I think you all know what I think about it lol!

Within.Temptation.For.Life...For LIFE, I said!

100% Agreed.

Short film and Faster video to be released on Monday (as we already know) and some other interesting details:

Quote :

5pm CET, January 31 we will reveal the first of 3 short films on the website and our Facebook page.

These movies give further insight into the concept of our fifth studio album “The Unforgiving” and are based on the comic storyline; the characters are impersonated by actors. Each film is followed by a band performance that, all together, form a dark and compelling tale of life, love, revenge, rage, and regret.

The first movie, titled “Mother Maiden”, ties in with our first single & video for ‘Faster’, introducing the main characters of the narrative. British actress Dawn Mastin (Tom & Thomas, Down) performs the lead role.

All of our fans who share the “Mother Maiden” short film via their social network on Facebook or Twitter using a “pay-with-a-tweet” application, supplied on our various sites, will not only receive a brand new Within Temptation wallpaper in return but have exclusive access to an online listening party for the album pre-release.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty stoked about this pre-release business.

Anyone seen or heard something about this gig?

Interesting comments... Faster and Where Is The Edge acoustic... I hope Kerrang puts up some video or audio soon.

That sounds interesting It would be great to get some audio/video.

Yeah....
I'd love to hear Faster and Where Is The Edge acoustically! That would be awesome.

Yess!!! Must hear!! *scampers off to try find the performances*
Alas, to no avail :*( But I hope we get some soon!!

Awwww....

I entered the competition to see the acoustic show and meet them but didn't win pretty gutting as the Kerrang studio is like 30 mins away. So I'm avoiding all news about it

^ Way to boycott those jerks for not picking you!

Oh, I'm dying to hear the songs performed acoustic!

Ahh! Must hear them acoustic!! *goes into WT-induced frenzy*

Well, there's good news then, as some French radio station will broadcast another acoustic session on Sunday (News from Twitter) And next Friday there's 538... just a little bit more waiting.
