The fans have spoken.
The 2-in-1 re-issued version of WITHIN TEMPTATION’s long out-of-print full-length debut album Enter (1997) and The Dance EP (1998) has debuted at #98 on the American Billboard Hard Rock/Metal chart.
The Enter track “Candles” happens to be one of the many career-defining songs featured on the upcoming Let Us Burn: Elements & Hydra Live In Concert DVD by Dutch symphonic rockers WITHIN TEMPTATION, due out in the U.S. this November 24th.
Shot & recorded in front of 15,000 fans at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp, Belgium in 2012 and at the last show of their European “Hydra” arena tour at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the Let Us Burn DVD captures two dynamic evenings in sold-out arenas where the band performs their most requested compositions plus new music from their latest Billboard-/world-charting album, Hydra.
Captured in high-definition with pro audio mixed in 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound, the formidable live reputation of WITHIN TEMPTATION’s stunning performances - complete with dazzling on-stage imagery and special effects (including fire-breathing dragons) - are showcased and brought to life.

ABOUT WITHIN TEMPTATION:
Masters of elegance, melodrama, and symphonic grandeur, WITHIN TEMPTATION are not just one of the most distinctive and charismatic bands to emerge from the metal scene in recent times; they are also one of European metal’s greatest success stories of the last decade.
Formed in 1996 by guitarist Robert Westerholt & vocalist Sharon den Adel and ably assisted by bassist Jeroen van Veen, the Dutch quintet set out to create music that would strike a sublime balance between the bold, evocative sweep of cinema soundtracks and the brooding, gothic splendor of the finest dark-hued rock & metal of the modern age. A well-kept secret in the Netherlands for the first few years of their existence, the band exploded into the mainstream spotlight across Europe with the release of their second album, Mother Earth, in 2000. Within a few studio albums, WITHIN TEMPTATION experienced huge commercial success in their native country as well as around the world, with a discography that has sold an excess of three million albums to date.
Hydra – the follow-up album to 2011’s Billboard Top 200 album, The Unforgiving – debuted at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 chart this past February, marking WITHIN TEMPTATION’s first appearance in the Billboard Top 20. It also debuted at #12 on the Billboard Digital Albums chart, #1 on both the iTunes Rock & iTunes Metal charts, and #1 on Amazon’s Hard Rock & Metal chart for two consecutive weeks. At radio the week of release, Hydra had the highest chart debut and ranked in the Top 5 on the CMJ Loud Rock chart.
