Within Temptation release new song ‘Shed My Skin’

WITHIN TEMPTATION have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Shed My Skin, is the brand new single from the symphonic metal band and the third single of the series of independent releases (following on from The Purge and Entertain You), leading up to an album.

Now the Worlds Collide Tour has been pushed back to 2022, the band remains productive by focusing on writing, and are aiming to release more songs this year. Shed My Skin features a guest appearance from German metalcore band ANNISOKAY.

Speaking about the new song, frontwoman Sharon Den Adel says, Shed My Skin revolves around dealing with inevitable changes in life. It is about becoming the person we are meant to be, even if that means losing people we love, but have grown apart from. Real growth begins where comfort zones end and that’s exactly what the song is all about: if we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living. We like to expand and broaden our horizon, and constantly find new music and bands that inspire us. ANNISOKAY brings a refreshing sound to the table, which we absolutely love. We are super happy that these talented guys wanted to join forces with us for our new single!”

Christoph Wieczorek of ANNISOKAY adds, WITHIN TEMPTATION are a band we love and have listened to for many, many years. You can imagine how stunned we were, when they reached out and asked us if we want to feature on their next single – just because they love our music as well! We’re beyond proud about being a part of this amazing song and really hope the people out their love it as much as we do.”
