WITHIN TEMPTATION

Announces Single 'Don't Pray For Me'

On July 8, WITHIN TEMPTATION will release a brand-new single, "Don't Pray For Me". It will be the fourth single of the band's independent releases and will lead up to WITHIN TEMPTATION's next studio album.

In recent years, WITHIN TEMPTATION shifted its focus from releasing albums to releasing a series of singles, enabling the band members to indulge themselves in their creative processes thus delivering freshly inspired music. The band has released "Entertain You", "The Purge" and "Shed My Skin", singles that have all thrilled their fanbase, had great critical reception in Europe, peaked in the Top 20 of the U.S. Billboard Mainstream Rock Indicator charts and topped the official German charts.

Vocalist Sharon Den Adel comments: "'Don't Pray For Me' strives against forcing beliefs and fears onto others and bears witness to being acceptive of everyone's own journey. It is an anthem about coming to terms with the fact that beliefs can be fluid, multiple or, frankly, different.

The song is about allowing people to pursue their own destiny."
