Within Temptation will be releasing a new album, titled “Bleed Out,” on October 20. You can check out the record’s title track below:

Vocalist Sharon Den Adel commented the album, which was influenced by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine:

“The war in Ukraine has influenced us a lot. As artists we are inspired by the world, and we have this platform. We are storytellers, and I think as human beings, these are things we should be talking about.”

She also added the following about the title track, which focuses on women fighting for their rights in Iran:

“I lived in Yemen when I was a kid. My parents lived in several countries in the Middle East, and I’ve visited them a lot when they were there. It’s a different world. Due to my time there, I feel connected to that part of the world. I’ve been so incredibly impressed by the bravery of the young women there who’ve been burning their scarves knowing they were going to be thrown in prison or worse. It’s heartbreaking.”
