What I love about this is how Xzibit is an integral part of the video. Unlike other bands who have guest artists, they're either not shown or is shown for their singing, and that's it.
Rap part is integrated so damn perfectly, that it takes truly talented musicians from both sides to do it. I'd love to see more musicians from different genres collaborate like this.
As a nearly 64 year old heavy metal/hard rock enthusiast since I was 8 years old....I didn't even know Within Temptation and Nightwish even existed until April 2020! My first thought was, how I haven't heard of these two bands until now??? Within Temptation sought out Xzibit and he helped in the writing of the song! Not being into rap...I have heard a few of Xzibit's songs...and I liked them! This song is very powerful...and very well done!
They are a Dutch symphonic metal band that started the same time as Nightwish 1996. They are considered one of the pioneers of female fronted symphonic metal bands. The lead vocalist is Sharon den Adel who founded the band together with her partner Robert Westerholt. She applied, and was admitted, to the conservatory for opera training but did not like it so she changed over to the arts-academy within her first semester. There she studied clothing design and management and completed it successfully. She has mainly used these skills in designing outfits used on stage. They have had a rather successful run in clubs for couple of years where their performances were constantly sold out. Because of that they got invited to the biggest festival in the Netherlands "Pink Pop". Even though they had a very early start the concert was a huge success. They released their single "Ice Queen"shortly after expecting it to be very successful but it did not do much until somewhere in December that year a dj played it on the radio. Suddenly the song shot up in the charts and even took the number 1 spot. Now other countries started to pay attention. There is just a specific tone in her voice that just clicks with me. You have only seen her once and you have no way of knowing this but Sharon is at her best live. The best concerts of the band are 2 shows they did being supported by a full symphonic orchestra and choir. The most famous one is with Metropole Orchestra in Rotterdam called the Black symphony. A great song to start with is the song "The promise" where they made full use of the orchestra. th-cam.com/video/39k1IQoeLAU/w-d-xo.html
I agree, but Pioneers of female fronted Metal-Bands? No, Doro Pesch (Warlock, Debut Album 1983), Sabrina Claassen (Holy Moses, Debut Album 1986, but Demo Tapes since 1981, 1982 with Sabrina Claassen), Lita Ford and many more.
Sharon has *the* most angelic voice in existence. I put Floor above her in terms of range and power (possibly even skill) but when it comes to that angelic, pure, flute like sound that makes your soul cry happy tears, no one is even in the vicinity of Sharon den Adel. *Within Temptation Recommendations:* *(For Sharon's extraordinary vocal talent)* Angels Say my name Memories Stand my ground *(For the show in general)* Ice Queen Dark Wings Paradise (ft Tarja from Nightwish) Your welcome.
Could not agree more. I feel exactly the same, Floor is technically the most versatile and most talented vocalist on the planet. But there is something special in Sharon's that just clicks with me.
Within Temptation is a Dutch symphonic metal band. You have to know the genre to have known of them, but they are incredible. They released a live album a few years back called Black Symphony, which really highlights their anthology. Listen to The Howling or Jillian by them.
When you really look into it, metal and rap have so much in common, from the beat to the lyrics. Each style just has a different approach to it. They blend so well together.
The reason why most people in the US haven't heard of Within Temptation is that US Rock stations are like US Country Music stations and they only play a small percentage of female fronted groups, like 15 to 20 percent of the music is from a female fronted group and you have acts from Europe like Nightwish, Within Temptation, In This Moment that a fucking HUGE over there that can't get the time of day in the US.
Thank you for reacting to Within Temptation!! :D I definitely recommend the songs What Have You Done, Our Solemn Hour, The Truth Beneath The Rose, and Jillian. All are equally incredible and show Sharon's vocal skills!
You must react to this: Within Temptation - The Howling, Mad World, Frozen; Ice Nine Kills - Thank God It's Friday, A Grave Mistake; Falling In Reverse - I'm Not A Vampire, Rolling Stone, Born To Lead; Asking Alexandria - Poison, Moving On; Bullet For My Valentine - Waking The Demon. (All song really cool)
Always a treat watching somebody get into WT for the first time. One of the best metal groups around, 25 years in the game and bringing it on every track. Xibit's vocals just drive it all the harder and make an awesome counterpoint to Sharon's angel voice.
I have to agree. The weird thing about Sharon is that she can look like a completely different person from one video to the next. In some parts of Frozen I always thought she looked like Natalie Portman!
You probably never heard of them because they are a symphonic metal band. If you react to Nightwish or Epica (you probably will), they are also symphonic metal bands.
Within Temptation is one of the best bands in the world. #2 only in my mind to Nightwish. Continue down this road and I promise you won't be disappointed. May I suggest Within Temptation "Paradise (Feat. Tarja) Official Video?
First heard about them about 13 years ago when wife's friend gave her a copy of a CD she'd been listening to. Wife's not into rock and heavy metal but I am. They'd already been around 10 years or so by the time I'd heard of them. WT are easily in my top 5 bands.
Yes bro, Within Temptetion is very good, if you want to hear more of their songs I recommend: Angels, What about Us(feat.Tarja Turunen original Nightwish lead vocalist), and Shot in the Dark. Oldie but goodie. Also check Epica lead singer Simone Simmons, Nightwish with Floor, and Amaranth with Elize Ryd(Super hot Swedish girl). Of course Arch Enemy with Alissa White-Gluz. She is hot as he'll also. They all are. And their voices are beautiful.
I still blast this song when I go running! It's powerful! This is the first video of yours that I'm watching and I can see in your face that you are fully locked in. Respect, liked and subbed!
also on this album is Howard Jones (formerly of KsE and currently in light the torch) with a track called dangerous. which there's also a video for, it'll blow your mind
Lol I cracked up at 2LM reaction. Within Temptation has a unique sound, her voice is awesome. Listen to some more of their songs. Xzibit is great in this song as well.
Well, people won't believe this, but rap isn't faster paced than rock. This song proves it Run DMC walk this way proved it Tone loc funky cold madina with Eddie Van Halen playing on it proved it. Rap is music basically without music. I'm glad more collaborations are happening to show what rap can be. Basic rappers come from poor neighborhoods where they couldn't afford instruments or lessons. But really, this shows that with can be substantial genre. Just like metal is sy.phonic based rap is metal based minus instruments. The reality is they may be sung differently, but like other forms of music country included, it has a story. Rap mostly alcohol and drugs slurs racial and sexist. Cleaned up with a good story would be high on the charts.
I don't know if they ever released this song outside of Europe. I was so surprised when I heard X to da Z was gonna do a song with Within Temptation from my tiny ass country. We've got some killer female singers here though. Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation, Floor Jansen from Nightwish, Simone Simons from Epica, Anneke van Giersbergen from The Gathering... I'm sure I'm forgetting some.
Ive gotten into so many new artists by watching reaction channels that im going broke buying new albums... i regret nothing! I gotta check out more of within temptations and spend a few more bucks lol!
Amazing song!...If you listened to both artist separatedly, you would think that their styles don't match!.....but hey do!..they really do!.. Xzibit fits perfectly!!... I'm not into rap or hip hop so much, but this song has become one of my favs!
Within Temptation-In the Middle of the Night, Within Temptation-Faster; Within Temptation-Somewhere, Nightwish Where were you last night, Stratovarious-Destiny, Stratovarious-Hunting High and Low
Within Temptation has been one of my favorite bands since like 2004. Don't feel bad that you haven't heard of them. You sound American and they never really made it big here. Honestly this whole album is fire, and I was REALLY skeptical about how well these two would mix, but this is definitely my favorite song. I've never seen your channel so I don't really know what you like, but you should check out Delain as well if you decide you liked Within Temptation. We Are The Others is a great song to start with, IMO.
Love this song and been waiting for some people to do a reaction to it. Great work by your patreon. Anyone ever tell you you're similar to layedbak? Believe me I don't mean that as a bad thing either. Only the first video I've seen of yours but loved it. Now on to watch the others.
Within Temptation are a whole other world to dive into, I'd check out Angels for another anthemic track with those lush vocals. Hell just about anything by WT is good but Angels will is a good next step. Symphonic metal, this opens the door to Nightwish and beyond....enjoy
What I love about this is how Xzibit is an integral part of the video. Unlike other bands who have guest artists, they're either not shown or is shown for their singing, and that's it.

Within Temptation - Dangerous featuring Howard Jones!

@@marcbaur677 I thought i had put in symphonic metal bands. My bad. :-)
Xzibit getting pulled out of The Matrix. That explains where he's been for like...ten years.
Zergle Jerk well this song is 6 years old haha
@@pwners4u He spent the first few years escaping. Breaking out ain’t easy.
Dude, symphonic metal is the right rabbit hole to fall down into, trust me! Such great music, there's something for everyone!
his voice fits this beat and im digging it
They Wrote it together. They actually sought him out to do this Song. There is an Interview of it all.
This is my absolute fav song/video...what ever.... I'm a white girl dealing with depression...this song/video is my

Angels
Say my name

*(For the show in general)*
Ice Queen
Dark Wings
Paradise (ft Tarja from Nightwish)
Your welcome.
yeah, well said :)
@@rico6311 Dont forget the Song Supernova and Raise your Banner Ft Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach.
Could not agree more. I feel exactly the same, Floor is technically the most versatile and most talented vocalist on the planet. But there is something special in Sharon's that just clicks with me.
Add mother earth and i agree :-)
She's aight. 👍🏽
That feeling when you realise that someone you thought was past their prime has just been saving up for a performance. Xzibit crushes this song.
Dude. In This Moment "Big Bad Wolf". The video/studio one, for first time. Maria Brink is the scary baby from this pair up lol.
Within Temptation is Incredible, and all these collabs they're doing are INCREDIBLE.
Within Temptation is a Dutch symphonic metal band. You have to know the genre to have known of them, but they are incredible. They released a live album a few years back called Black Symphony, which really highlights their anthology. Listen to The Howling or Jillian by them.
within temptation is amazing at fuzing rock and orcastra together
When you really look into it, metal and rap have so much in common, from the beat to the lyrics. Each style just has a different approach to it. They blend so well together.
Within temptation is such a great band try mother earth or memories
Watchin you enjoy metal just makes my fuckin day bro
Wow.. wouldn't have thought it but Xzibit's voice really fit well into this.. I like it!
Man, I love these reaction videos. Music is where this world will find common ground again...
The reason why most people in the US haven't heard of Within Temptation is that US Rock stations are like US Country Music stations and they only play a small percentage of female fronted groups, like 15 to 20 percent of the music is from a female fronted group and you have acts from Europe like Nightwish, Within Temptation, In This Moment that a fucking HUGE over there that can't get the time of day in the US.
Whaaaaaaaat??? You’re awesome for reacting to this bro lol
Within Temptation, Nightwish, Epica, Xandria, Blackbriar. The best of gothic/symphonic metal
Thank you for reacting to Within Temptation!! :D
I definitely recommend the songs What Have You Done, Our Solemn Hour, The Truth Beneath The Rose, and Jillian. All are equally incredible and show Sharon's vocal skills!
Within Temptation is an Industrial Symphonic Goth Rock from across the pond! All their stuff is legit and amazing!
I think its time to react " Nightwish - Ghost Love Score " bro
Linggar please always mention the right version , Wacken 2013 live.
Hey listen the first version of Nightwish with Tarja Turunen End of An Era!!!
I've always liked Tarja better.
Ghost Love Score - Wacken 2013. I cannot wait to see the reaction to this.
Has to be the live version though! Or the greatest show ever is another amazing song, just super long
If you like uptempo rock songs, Within Temptation did a duet from this same album with Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage
Describing this as an anthem is right on!
You must react to this:
Within Temptation - The Howling, Mad World, Frozen;
Ice Nine Kills - Thank God It's Friday, A Grave Mistake;
Falling In Reverse - I'm Not A Vampire, Rolling Stone, Born To Lead;
Asking Alexandria - Poison, Moving On;
Bullet For My Valentine - Waking The Demon.
(All song really cool)
The key change in Moving On gives me chills every time.
Always a treat watching somebody get into WT for the first time. One of the best metal groups around, 25 years in the game and bringing it on every track. Xibit's vocals just drive it all the harder and make an awesome counterpoint to Sharon's angel voice.
🤘😎🤘 ROCK ON DUDE!!!!!!!!
Recommended this song to a friend of mine, came to relisten to it, found your channel.
I absolutely love your attitude, brother. Glad I found ya.
respect your positivity in all your vids bruh
We all been sleep bro. Xzibit killed it too. 2LIT with another banger
Listen to more Within Temptation especially Frozen! That song and video is awesome and the deeper meaning will haunt you!
I have to agree. The weird thing about Sharon is that she can look like a completely different person from one video to the next. In some parts of Frozen I always thought she looked like Natalie Portman!
You probably never heard of them because they are a symphonic metal band.
If you react to Nightwish or Epica (you probably will), they are also symphonic metal bands.
Great reaction
Greetings from The Netherlands 😜😜😁
Never thought I'd see X do a song like this. I know he did a rock song on LOUD ROCKS but this was a surprise
Within Temptation is one of the best bands in the world. #2 only in my mind to Nightwish. Continue down this road and I promise you won't be disappointed. May I suggest Within Temptation "Paradise (Feat. Tarja) Official Video?
First video I've seen of this channel and it's lit. I like the flames I see.
First heard about them about 13 years ago when wife's friend gave her a copy of a CD she'd been listening to. Wife's not into rock and heavy metal but I am. They'd already been around 10 years or so by the time I'd heard of them. WT are easily in my top 5 bands.
Its a bit of an oldie now, but you could checkout devil on my shoulder by Billy Talent. Or Shepherd of fire by avenged sevenfold.
You could see him starting to get into it. This song is absolutely great.
Yes bro, Within Temptetion is very good, if you want to hear more of their songs I recommend: Angels, What about Us(feat.Tarja Turunen original Nightwish lead vocalist), and Shot in the Dark. Oldie but goodie.
Also check Epica lead singer Simone Simmons, Nightwish with Floor, and Amaranth with Elize Ryd(Super hot Swedish girl). Of course Arch Enemy with Alissa White-Gluz. She is hot as he'll also. They all are. And their voices are beautiful.
This song is from their 2014 album Hydra.
Esas dos voces simplemente perfecto.❤
I still blast this song when I go running! It's powerful! This is the first video of yours that I'm watching and I can see in your face that you are fully locked in. Respect, liked and subbed!
X always has been on all genres of music. He's a real one for sure.🔥🔥🔥
Yes. This is an anthem.
Deftones... Knife Party. You are more than ready dude.
Chills........ friggin chills......
I haven't watched this for a long time now.
I've never been a Within Temptation fan but I think they're doing some solid things with Metal music.
Nightwish ghost love score!
You been sleeping. The howling by within temptation.
Black Symphony version
Yay! I love this one. You're ready for Eluveitie now. "The Slumber" or "A Rose for Epona" are good ones to start with there.
Also Call of the Mountains.
First time hearing this band 🔥💯🔥💯 I'm down 🔥💯 adding X to it was definitely a bonus
Your reactions are always LIT....
It is nice to see people expanding their music choices :)
also on this album is Howard Jones (formerly of KsE and currently in light the torch) with a track called dangerous. which there's also a video for, it'll blow your mind
