- 'Ritual' is our newest single from our album 'Bleed Out' - out now! Listen & order it right here: wt.lnk.to/bleed...
The delectable Ritual is one of the kinkiest songs we have ever written and is fully inspired by From Dusk Till Dawn. An iconic movie by Quentin Tarantino about a seemingly normal road trip, turning into a vampire slayer party. “It’s a fun track about seduction,” Sharon explains. “It’s about the lady taking power in a male dominated world and taking her own initiative.”

Bleed Out - the album, signifies a bold leap forward for us. From contemporary, hard-hitting djenty riffs to soaring melodies displaying their symphonic roots, we have created a sonic journey that fuses diverse musical styles and thought-provoking themes. This is an album that is as epic as it is unflinchingly outspoken.
Reflecting the tumultuous state of the world, for our new albu we have drawn inspiration from events such as the murder of Mahsa Amini in Iran and the war in Ukraine. But that isn’t to say that there’s no light to the heavy shade on Bleed Out. Here's 'Ritual'.
Lyrics:
I’ll make you line up cause I’m imperial
Shapeshifting into what I want and now I own you all
But I already know, I can’t let you go, love my ritual
Cause I already know, I can’t let you go, you’re my ritual
My ritual playground
Oeh, I got the spark to light your fire
You’re going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You’re going , you’re going down with my ritual
You’re going down with my ritual
I’ll make you rise up, into my midnight oil, drink, drink
Wet martini from my paper cup
Going down the rabbit hole
But I already know
I can’t let you go
Love my ritual My ritual
Cause I already know,
I can’t let you go
You’re my ritual, my ritual playground
Oeh, I got the spark to light your fire
You’re going down for milk and honey
With every touch I’ll embody your desire
You’re going, you’re going down with my ritual
You’re going down with my ritual
Your equality, your vanity, your relevancy, sexuality and venomous perversity
venomous perversity
Oh, I got the spark to light your fire
You’re going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You’re going, you’re going down with my ritual
You’re going down with my ritual
You’re going down with my ritual

I am 70 years old and this is one of the best tracks that i have ever heard I have been listening to metal since i was 15 years old , fantastic track
This is truly one powerful song! I am 58 and still listening! I am surprised that I haven’t heard of them before, was a TH-cam suggestion, and now I am a subscriber!
Yes!!!!!
Have you heard UTA:s new tracks? 👍
There you can find some good metal! 🤘🔥
totally agree!!
Rotfl.
No, the metal music industry is not dead yet. Thank you Within Temptation, thank you Sharon!
What are you talking about? They are not a metal band anymore.
Within Temptation became a lot less metal than they used to be.
Though this song is a bit heavier again.
Metal certainly isn't dead, there are so many awesome metal bands out there.
@@donder91 Yes , out there in Japan.
who are they then? K-POP?@@ElnoviodeAthena
It doesn't sounds like metal, but like pop rock. This band has only 3 best albums - "Enter", "Mother Earth", "The Silent Force" and maybe... "The Heart of Everything". After that band begun to stagnate and regress...
We need a performance video for "Cyanide Love".... what a monster of a song.
Totally agree with you, I would also love to see a music video for Cyanide Love
Yes !!
Definitely!!!
A performance video would be awesome for sure :)
YES YES YES It's by far my favorite of the album !
This part gives me chills
"But I already know
I can’t let you go
Love my ritual My ritual
Cause I already know,
I can’t let you go
You’re my ritual, my ritual playground"
Sharon's iconic dance move 🥰🥰
This is my favorite song from the album, which, by the way, I enjoyed WAY more than I expected. The riffs are so heavy, and Sharon's voice really goes well with the songs. Her voice gives a melancholic feeling in a good way. On another note, I didn't expect the video to be this violent, but given the context of the lyrics, the message was pretty clear. Please come to the US!
Agree
Почему девушка так отвергает парня? Это же природа для двоих получать удовольствие
See it that way too

Якщо обидва згодні !
They addressed the use of AI in their Q&A a few weeks ago and people's concerns about getting paid, so I don't think that's an issue. I don't mind the occasional cartoon/AI video, but a whole era of it in videos is a bit tiresome. I'd rather see them with their styled looks.
💯%
Actually, they were just 50% of the videos of this era. Entertain you, don't pray for me and the purge are not IA videos :)
How stup-id is it to support AI as a real artist? Even singers will be affected by this issue in the future, as voices can already be imitated using AI. Actors are also currently on strike in Hollywood because there is a risk that AI will take over their jobs. make your Homework.
Can't wait for the video!!!!!Bleed Out is the best WT album in my opinion !!!!!Love from Argentina WT!!!💗💗💗💗
de acuerdo. Saludos desde CABA :)
can´t stop listening
might be just me but... i love that every new song has a powerful message behind it❤❤🔥🤘🏼
I'm right there with you!
Same here

For this one, provocative women are mass murders. Just when we got used to Captain Marvel being the bad guy now we have this video to take it to 11.
@@TheRadioAteMyTVwhy is living your life being provocative? 😂 she just went to work, gym and beach. You incels are really something.
As a 70 y.o lover of music and lucky enough to have lived through all the great bands and musicians of the last 60 yrs, WT is one of my favourite groups. Their talent in writing, musicianship snd performance is astounding. Thanks for keeping an old rocker.....rocking😂
Can't wait!!!! 🎉❤ This song is growing in me slowly but intensely... 💋💋💋
1:26 that bass guitar
I kinda like AI art but I would be more happy to see the band performing in good light with close shots. We love you guys ❤ And wanna see more. It's like talking with or without a camera - different impressions.
Same here I would be more happy to see the band performing, I love powerful message behind it but I don't like this AI video
@@Monika-y5o The message is disgusting feminazi propaganda that tries to glorify female psychopaths.
Same for me! I love this AI video but I also love the ‘real’ video clips with the band. Hopefully we will get one soon!
AI "art" is theft.
@@JohnWilliams-cr2sz Artists feared for their craft when photography appeared. Now there is a denial of AI. Just give it time, everything will take it's place.
I could never understand that some people cross the boundaries, the video and the lyrics simply show justice in this moment. If only it were always that simple.
Oh yeah !!! Can’t wait to watch this badass looking one ! 🔥
After my 70's and 80's rock period with absolutely no crave for the 90's WT has become my new favorite. Just sorry US radio seemed to have ignored them for so long. Sharon slays with the best of them.
A Within sempre surpreende e nunca decepciona, que música meus amigos, que música!!!
I think this is amazing. 🎭
I love this 🤟💥 That inner demon that comes out when you've just about had enough of people's bullshit. And sometimes it's what it takes for them to stop 🤷🏻♂️
the killing great riff with sharon's great voice makes me non stop listening... oh my My neck hurts
Just around 3 months ago I had a bad situation on the crowded bus, where a stranger tried to kiss and touch me, but I started yelling as loud as I could, to make him leave me alone. All the passengers were observing the whole situation, but I got no support that time. I felt regret that I'm not a femme fatale like a Catwoman or Trinity from Matrix. Aha, and the guy was not an immigrant... Such situations happen everywhere. But pls, don't ask me where it happened, because I don't want to get thousands of negative comments that "I'm attacking our men". No, but this song is still not outdated.
That is... a bit racist and xenophobic of you here, isn't it? The implication of immigrants being inherently worse people just because they are not from the country you are in is an honestly awful opinion to have.
Deal with it. Some cultures have a fundamental view of women as objects and second class citizens. They usually harass and do crimes against them in my country, proportionately more than the locals. I've been harassed many times by them, as young as 12 years old. Better be careful and think that everyone is a threat.
Дякую вам за пісню, за кліп, який відображує життя кожної жінки. В кліпі показано, як кожна із жінок хотілаб закінчити конфлікт. Не укожної були сили або можливість. Я дивлюсь кліп багато разів, мене він розслабляє, дає вихід на інші горизонти. Думаю багато жінкам преніс насолоду. Дякую))
Love it!!!! 💜💪🏻🔥
badass video. badass song
Alex!
The video is a absolute joke it's extremely lazy and uninspired just like everything else that uses AI for visuals
I've been listening to your music for over half of my life. I absolutely adore it. However it's a shame that you've been using AI for the visuals instead of hiring real artists/editors like you used to do. I will always love your music but I hope you understand mine and many other's disappointment. I hope you return to hiring real artists for future works.
They are using artists and editors with AI. This has been mentioned many time. Move on already.
They use the same team that they have always used for their videoclips, but now they use a bigger team. They have explained many times that they wanted to try this and that they used real artists and that the artists worked together with the AI experts to make it a video. Please listen to their explanation before that you say something like that…
@@TheManaTree777 People who use AI are not and never will be artists. I will not move on, thanks. But you're welcome to if you disagree with me.
@@alanadekker3061 I know the circumstances very well. Doesn't mean I have to accept it. They should have looked into the sheer negatives instead of jumping into a trend. As artists themselves they should know more than anyone that using machines to steal other's hard work is vile and wrong. Singing songs about empowerment while simultaneously belittling real artists is not a good look for them. This is coming from a big fan of their music.
Do you really think that they just took a computer and told it to”realize a music video”?
They used AI as a tool, but real artist worked to make this video
I frigging LOVE this song. And people need to stop complaining about the AI because it's way easier to make the video for less money and get the point across that they want to get across. Y'all forget everything costs money!! I like the videos. Keep them coming!!
Agreed ❤️
I've loved Within Temptation from when I was a toddler... My now 60 year old grandmother is a WT megafan and I am too now! ❤️
@@rixy_wolfwolfosjr9952 that's so awesome you got your grandma into WT!! Something you can share and enjoy together. It would be awesome if you could go to a concert with her ❤️🔥
Loved it! WT you always rock and cannot wait to see you all perform again in person one day! 🤩😻😻
Estoy tan feliz de que pasen los años, y Within siga sonando tan épico como siempre, les amo desde el alma
Sharon con 50 años se sigue moviendo como si tuviera 20😃
Going to open with loving this song. Genuinely, one of the best you've released.
However, this AI art thing y'all are trying out really isn't working. It's a harmful to the industry when used to replace artists like this rather than simply helping the process. I can tell that AI is doing the heavy lift here too, because wow, this looks so bad. Some people are trying to be charitable, but I can see the program you used struggling so hard to keep any kind of consistency.
I know you care about art, and this is a cool new tool. However, this is not the time or way to use it. Please listen not just to your fans, but artists who are genuinely affected by this.
Sad to see how far Within Temptation have fallen from their original sound, Enter was a masterpiece. And now using bs AI, artists should support eachother, soon enough I'll just create a prompt from some music AI generator to give me some more tracks from WT during their Enter era and these guys will also realize they were wrong to jump on the hype train. I'm sure they're all very lovely people, I have no doubt but I personally can't help but feel they're the definition of selling their soul for the money in mainstream.
I mean have you heard of a Vocaloid.
@@Sola._. nope, should I have?
como siempre sorprendiendo con su nivel de musica . son los mejores lejos . musica y voz siempre en armonia .
Der Song hat alles, was ich mag: Harte Töne, tolle Stimme, Rhythmus.
I have listened to Sharon Den Adel since 1998 until now. she is still my only favorite female singer. now 2024, 26 years ago and still love her
from Indonesia for Sharon Den Adel
Lo que muchas mujeres querríamos hacer en esos casos. Me encantó❤❤❤
Love the touch of American country this song is amazing
I love this song!!! ❤❤❤
Could everyone just be gd grateful for anything. Humans 🙄 exhausting. You lady n guys keep it up 💚
Have to admit that I have my favorites. But this cd is the best one yet. Great work. Don't ever stop rockin WT.
Point for point, this is exactly what my nightmares used to look like, with their faces changing and the unstable background and all. I felt insanely uneasy when i first watched the video.
Amazing single, amazing album. Hope to see you in Summer Breeze Brasil!
This video is bad ass!!!!
Now we need a normal version of this! Please!
Even as a cartoon vampire(?), you are the most beautiful in the world, Sharon. See you in Łódź in 363 days
OMG!!! 🎉🎉❤
I think this song deserves such a better video!!!!! I can imagine something so much beautiful then the Ai version
It's becoming my fave song from the album... so catchy
MAN that was awesome depiction of how some chicks would LOVE to retort to guys in real life. What a killer video - literally!
Дякую! Дуже потужна пісня та цікавий кліп!)))
Слава Україні ❤
Героям Слава!
Here reflecting on this video! I just think that finally a shout out to us women who suffer harassment every day. Thank you for this classic!
The song is epic. But the ai approach to the recent videos is a bit odd considering your live music videos do so well and have been your go to for most of your songs over the years. So it makes me wonder the reason behind this approach
It's with AI so it's cheaper, very cheaper...
@@davidperezperez5960 I real shame that artists are starting to go this route. I understand that the world is in the midst of cost of living crisis ect but i feel now is actually the time when real authentic art is needed more than ever
I find that the video is also very creative. I think the cost for this is still very underestimated. It looks like a lot of these visuals have been filmed beforehand and the effects are layered on top of that. Maybe it's cheaper, but it's also very well produced.
@@impulsiveDecider it is def cheaper, basically you don't have to make any perfect shots because something like lighting and such really doesn't matter when you just let an AI "fix it in post". That alone saves a lot of time and cost not having to shoot scenes over and over again.
Than there is money you save on people doing editing the video, with this I don't mean cutting, because that is the only thing you still have to do, but like effects and basically all of the fixing up you normally have to do, you can just let an AI take over for a couple of hours.
So yea, there is a lot of money to be saved.
In a finantial sense I can understand the use of AI. In an artistic and moral sense I can't. Not only does AI feed of of stolen art, it also builds on a lot of underpayed workers in poor countries looking through thousands of pictures every day and describing the AI whats on it.
Finally as someone who is very passionately interested in animation, 2D animation in particular, calling AI animation an abomination is taking it lightly. There is no intent, no timing, no easing and lots of smear frames, basically the whole thing has absolutely no soul, like practically anything created by AI.
Let's just say I do not agree to the use of AI in this case.
Very odd seeing music artists using ai like this. Not sure they would approve of AI muscling in on their industry and impacting their personal work.
I've been a fan ever since Silent Force came out, y'all guys don't disappoint! Love y'all! ❤️
Much love from the US ❤
still remember the early days with the growling voices. super nice evolution.
einfach nur genial gemacht!
Sharon u voice is incredible as always, I would really like to see your concert live!
Wow! Like wow! This is the best music Within Temptation has ever done. The animation is totally awesome!
its ai calling it animation is crime
@@ro4le234 it's still animated get the fuck over yourself.
@@ro4le234 looks dope af. AI is great
This one and Shed my Skin = best two of the album! Who else agrees??
I love every song on the album but I am more partial to the Purge and Worth dying for.
I just love it when bands cut corners!
I know i got in to this band a couple of days ago but this is my number one song off this album
Caraca, pesadíssimo!!!! 🤟🏻❤ Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Wow! Just amazing. I'll do my best to explain what I watched from the video. It's a spiritual war between men and women. Who's in control of the situation.
Not a fan of AI but I think this video turned out better than the Bleed Out one (at least, in my opinion) and the whole concept reminded me, in some way, of The Unforgiving comics, in which we had another powerful female character, Sinead.
Your new album is on repeat since October 20. Can't wait to listen to the new songs live soon.
I very much got Sinead vibes too. Fantastic.
Gracias por darnos un ejemplo de como adaptarse a nuestros tiempos, a la realidad de hoy
Han vuelto Within temptation y con todo el PODER!!!!
Saludos desde Chile!!!🤘🏻🫀
Yes! Love it!! WT this is out of your comfortzone..
Ein echt Hammer Album, läuft rauf und runter, gehört schon seit meinen Lieblinghands,seit ich das erste Memories hörte war ich hin und weg❤
Absoluter Hammer ❤
OH MY GOD! This is so perfect! The lyrics, the history of the video, loved she beating those guys 🥹🥹🥹
The new album is fantastic! ❤ Full of incredible music, deep and meaningful lyrics (just like Bleed Out) You guys did a great job. It's much darker than your previous music, but I really enjoyed listening to it!
I'd love to see a behind the scenes to the making of this video! I found the making of video for Periphery' Atropos video so interesting as that also used AI. Fantastic video and song!
I see what you did there. Clever to choose such a contemporary art style. Probably the only way to get these visuals through without getting censored. Also, strong message, very pleasant sound. Thank you!
Interesting times, remember how people didn't liked the Bleed Out video for the AI part and now love this one for the style of art? Everything has it's time an WT transports that.
Nightmare inducing AI is off the scale.
Song is badass.
Au vue du clip je suis étonnée de ne pas voir beaucoup de commentaires de mecs disant qu'ils sont stigmatisés et pas tous comme ça. En tout cas j'adore
Is it possible like more than once? Amazing 😍
Amazing love the song and the video 🤩🥰
Wooooowww😮 its crazy! Very cool
What a voice! Almost 50 years and it still sends as much melodic power, beautiful!
Isto está maravilhoso! WT arrebentando como sempre! ♥
alotov fem-izm sheet
Agree that videos without using a neuralnet were better. But the albom is good enough
First time ever I had to put dislike on WT video and have been fan since 2000.... This is just a disgraceful woke crap, made by stealin AI.
I wonder, what would happen to any artist, who would make animation with same violence against women for any objective reason.
I am very disappointed.
Violence against women we see everyday in real life.
It looks like the band is stirring drama on purpose to gain more attention. The band has become marketing testing ground. They don't care about music, only about gaining attention and the hero persona is just beyond cringe and hypocritical. We all know they are virtue signaling for money and attention. Why aren't they vocal about Palestine? Because it is truly controversial and it might bury them. They are pushing about Ukraine because it is black and white and easy to market and milk. Russia bad is a TRUE and wildly accepted statement, but jews bad is not as easy to say out loud as a public person.
I love AI music video 🤘🤘🤘.
Please a video for We go to war 🙏❤️🤘
Both the song and the music video are fire 🔥
Lovely. The visuals mixing in the performance of the band with commentary on contemporary events is brilliant and beautifully executed.
Artificial Intelligence is changing the world
@@MinutoFamosos New technology always shows up in art.
@@MinutoFamososit's a new tool and we need to learn how to use it. I like that they are experimenting with it
@@MinutoFamososfor the worse
I love WT but I think is so unethical to use that, made with stolen art aka AI … nothing special about this sorry… real 3d artists and studios exist, they should have hired many people to do it.. but I guess is cheaper to hire one guy that calls himself artists by using ai… sad… disappointing…
Thank you, Sharon. You seem totally against violence, so seeing this part of you empowered me. The rage we all bear inside. A rightful rage. It released so much of my anger, so that I don't do what the women in this video did. Satisfying and cathartic - an importand function of art. But it makes a difference where it is coming from. It's coming from a place of not condoning violence.
To jest naprawde super aby więcej ❤
Within Temptation, allways with pasion 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Vous êtes un des groupes les plus surprenants et talentueux qui soient 🤩, capable de vous réinventer sans cesse pour maintenir l’excellence sur le long terme. Une évolution aux niveaux sonores et graphiques toujours extraordinaires qui s’imbrique dans le présent comme un engrenage de très haute précision. Vous maîtrisez votre art avec génie ☝👍🤘
"Graphiques" ? 🤨
The tenth time listening to this melody and I want to keep listening to it till the sun comes out😅😊.
Most beautiful & best music video i've ever seen❤
Song and video are great
Meaningful. Necessary. Inspiring. Amazing. I just loved it!
HOLY MOTHER OF METAL!!!!!!
Uno de los mejores videos musicales que he visto me sorprende la calidad.
Fenomenali..come sempre..
insanely good musicvideo and song!
La canción genial!! Del video... mejor no hablar.
Bleed out is a masterpiece. One of their best album. And ritual is just so good. Am I the only one who love IA video clip ? 🎸🤟🏻
ты не один...))
When within temptation came to Glasgow last with evanescence
I screamed " yass QUEEN! WERK!"
I think she heard me cause a few fans joined in and she looked at us and laughed
She gave
She slayed
It gave
She was mother
