An update from Roadrunner Records:

Sharon Den Adel, Within Temptation's frontwoman, has revealed that 'Where Is The Edge', the new track which the band premiered just last week, doesn't showcase the full spectrum of the forthcoming concept album, The Unforgiving, and promises fans a deeper look at what's to come.

Sharon writes: "From the moment we started writing this album we felt it was time for change, to take a bigger step in our musical development then we’ve done with the last two albums...The Unforgiving is the album with the most diversity between the songs then ever before.

As previously reported, the video below contains exclusive preview scenes taken from the upcoming movie Me & Mr. Jones, directed by Oscar-winning Dutch director Paul Ruven. The movie is a thriller inspired by the disappearance of Natalee Holloway on Aruba, the island where also the movie itself has been secretly shot.

Fans sharing the video on their Facebook using an application on the Within Temptation Facebook page will have their names included in the special edition of the album.

When speaking about the track, Within Temptation revealed, “The song 'Where Is The Edge' is based on the story of The Unforgiving, a graphic novel written by Steven O’Connell. However there is a clear link between the storyline of our new concept album and the thriller Me & Mr. Jones as they both deal with mystery, murder, guilt, and a lack of forgiveness.”
