Having recently announced their new label home with UK-based Dramatico, symphonic rock outfit WITHIN TEMPTATION - the multi-million selling Dutch band fronted by the captivating Sharon den Adel - have signed a licensing deal with Nuclear Blast Entertainment for the North American territory.

"There are very few bands out there today who continually deliver on such a high and consistent level as Within Temptation,” states Nuclear Blast Entertainment President Monte Conner. “That is why they have such an incredibly loyal worldwide fan base. I am thrilled they chose NBE as their US partner. Their fans are in for a real treat come later this year!”

Equally excited are vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt, who comment: “We were looking for a partnership with a passionate and artist-minded company. Monte Conner, Markus Staiger [label owner], and the people at Nuclear Blast exactly fit this profile.”

Within Temptation released their last studio album, The Unforgiving, in 2011, which landed in the Top 5 on the European Billboard Chart and Top 10 in 12 different countries (and included their highest ever chart position in the UK).

To date, the group have amassed more than 30 Gold and Platinum sales awards, two MTV European Music Awards, two World Music Awards, plus numerous other international accolades.

Andrew Bowles, MD of Dramatico enthuses, “I’ve been a fan of Within Temptation for some time and when the chance came up to discuss a deal I jumped at it. I’m thrilled to be working with the band and their management on the next exciting stage of their career.”

Equally excited are Within Temptation’s Sharon, and Robert Westerholt, who comment, “We were looking for a partnership with a music driven and artist minded company open to a wide range of musical styles. Dramatico and its people exactly fit this profile. We are very much looking forward to working with Andrew and his team in the UK.”
