WITHIN TEMPTATION Vocalist SHARON DEN ADEL Confirms New Album Will Be Released In 2023 (Video)

Within Temptation vocalist Sharon Den Adel is featured in a new interview with Finland's Chaoszine. She discusses the band's new single, "Don't Pray For Me", their next festival show in Finland, which will take place on August 5th at Himos Metal Festival, and plans for Within Temptation's next album.

Sharon: "We don't have an official date yet, but we are working, as we speak still, on finishing songs. And, of course, we have released a lot of songs during the Corona time. Those songs are going to be on the album as well. So, I think we have to finish up a third still, and we're going do it in the beginning of next year. Somewhere next year we will release a new album with the songs that we already released."

Within Temptation recently released their new single, "Don't Pray For Me", an anthem for pursuing one's own destiny. Listen here, and watch an official music video below.

"We live in a world where cultures and beliefs are melting together, while at the same time acts of intolerance and injustice dominate the world," states Within Temptation. "Both societal issues and a rapid increase in sub-beliefs have resulted in fear, fragmentation and disconnect."

Singer Sharon den Adel adds, "'Don't Pray For Me' strives against forcing beliefs and fears onto others and bears witness to being acceptive of everyone's own journey. It is an anthem about coming to terms with the fact that beliefs can be fluid, in multiples, or frankly, different. The song is about allowing people to pursue their own destiny."
