After there were just several single releases from the Dutch symphonic metal band over the last months, an album has been announced recently. Find out more about the release date, tracklist and other news here.
In May, Within Temptation released the single "Wireless". There is also a Visualizer for it, which you can watch on YouTube. Otherwise, there have been a few songs that were released individually in recent years, including "Faded Out" together with Asking Alexandria and "Don't Pray For Me" from 2022, but now the title and release date of the upcoming album have been announced by the band. The album Bleed Out is scheduled to be released as early as October 20, 2023 and will feature eleven tracks. You can find the full track listing below.
New Single "Bleed Out" Gets An AI Music Video
Just in time for the announcement of the new album, the single "Bleed Out" has also been released, first with a visualizer, like the single "Wireless" before. But later today a proper music video is to be released, which we have linked to you below. What makes it special is that it's a music video created entirely by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The topic of AI is currently playing a big role, especially in the artist scene, and is being discussed a lot. The new song has already received a lot of support from fans in the comments, but regarding the music video, many are now voicing their criticism of the decision to use AI. So far, there have only been clips of the work on the band's social media channels, but that will change in a few hours with the premiere of the video on YouTube.
The Tracklist Of The Upcoming Album
Below we are revealing the complete tracklist of the new album Bleed Out. However, only about half of the songs on the album are really new, because many of them have already been released individually in advance. So for fans, tracks like "We Go To War" and "Cyanide Love" will be the most interesting.
1. We Go To War
2. Bleed Out
3. Wireless
4. Worth Dying For
5. Ritual
6. Cyanide Love
7. The Purge
8. Don’t Pray For Me
