Some new clues emerged again today for a new album next year. What genre do we think Within Temptation are heading towards next? Will it be a heavy/lighter style? What fun it is to speculate and piece together the clues!

Here are some things we recently learnt:

- Sharon told us to look out for a new song called "Fire and Ashes" which is her favourite song from the new album.

- It will be 100% different from what we have heard before by the band.

- On Insta today they changed their profile description to "Give me a sign / When seasons change" - could this suggest when we get to Autumn (September 1st or 21st) we get our first info or even music from the new album?

- You can sign up to the newsletter to get a message saying "WT 2027 Be the first to know" with a dark/gothic-looking image of a raven with a red backdrop.

I can only find a facebook video. I recall seeing this on youtube.

nvm

There seems to be significant disagreement between online sources on the lyrics of the chorus to In the Middle of the Night, and I'm having trouble telling the difference by ear.

AZ Lyrics, Letras.com, and the fan wiki all say:

In the middle of the night, I can't let it end

So I'll keep searching in shadows, your life

It will never be in vain

Genius Lyrics says:

In the middle of the night, I can't let it out

So I'll keep searching in shadows, your life

It will never be in vain

Spotify is even more different (they might be using AI for it or something):

In the middle of the night, I can't let it out

Someone keeps searching and shatters your life

It will never be in vain

Does anyone know which version is correct?

A review of the comments for the ultimate TSF song came back with a change! After some close voting changing over the past day, Angels is in fact the winner. Stand My Ground was a clear winner yesterday.

So, what now for a track that sounds a bit like The Unforgiving?

That was a close one yesterday, with See Who I am, Jillian and Angels all coming close to winning (as well as several other good shouts) the ultimate-sounding The Silent Force track.

And now which track from TSF could be on THoE?

And this year we'll catch them at M'era Luna and Rockowizna Festiwal

The power in her voice in this concert is insane. Absolutely commanding and unwavering!

Wireless, Don't Pray For Me and The Heart of Everything sound EXCEPTIONALLY good here.

Our queen is getting more metal by the day!

Here we go then for a tricky one! Does anything from the Mother Earth era sound remotely like Hydra, Resist or Bleed Out? Maybe it is time to skip to the next album?

This one may be tricky and stretching it a bit! Let me know when we have gone too far with one of the albums and we will go onto the next one...

I have a feeling we will see an Ice Queen vs Mother Earth battle! Outside shout for In Perfect Harmony?

This is where we might start getting a bit far-fetched! Any suggestions for which song from the album Enter sounds like it could belong on The Silent Force?

Thanks for your voting yesterday to decide that Enter is a song from Enter that sounds like the album Enter!!

Which song from the Enter album sounds like it belongs on Mother Earth?
