Within Temptation's 2004 album The Silent Force was the first record to feature Ruud Jolie on lead guitar. The powerful and beatifical vocals by Sharon Den Adel are full of passion and emotion and blending well with the orchestrations.

After breaking through in 2000 with the hit "Ice Queen" and the album "Mother Earth", Within Temptation toured the world relentlessly. It took almost 4 years for the follow-up album The Silent Force was released. The Silent Force's first single "Stand My Ground" is a wonderful bombastic composition with impressive vocals and it stays true to the band's sound. The up-tempo guitars and the melodic keyboards make this a must-have for everyone who loves symphonic and metal music. Stand My Ground and Angels have become fan favorites and are still featured in the band's live shows.

The Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation was founded in 1996 by vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt. After their first doom metal recording, they were developing their music to a more accessible symphonic style, breaking through to a more mainstream audience with their album Mother Earth.

The Silent Force is available on black vinyl and includes a poster.
