Global symphonic rock outfit, WITHIN TEMPTATION (photo attached) have found a new label home with UK-based operation, Dramatico. The multi-million selling Dutch band, fronted by the captivating Sharon den Adel, 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."
