The Unforgiving (Split Vinyl)

Few bands survive a decade. Fewer still define one. Within Temptation have spent thirty years doing both - constantly evolving, never losing the sound that made them impossible to ignore.

The Unforgiving is the fifth studio album by Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation. A fully realised concept album, it sees Sharon den Adel make full use of her vocal style and three-octave range as the band brings back the symphonic music of the '80s. The guitars are pushed to the front, memorable riffs backed by a bold mix of symphonic and electronic keyboards. The album charted all over the world - #50 in the Billboard 200, #23 in the UK Album chart, and #2 in the Dutch Album chart.

These aren't reissues. They're artifacts. The albums that shaped a genre, the songs that became anthems - now on limited edition half/half coloured vinyl, a collector's pressing for music that defined a generation.

To mark three decades of music that has moved millions across every continent, this 'WT 30 Years' anniversary edition comes as a limited edition of 1,000 individually numbered copies on red/green split vinyl, and includes a 12-page comic-book with lyrics and a poster.
