It’s unbelievable how they manage to combine rap and symphonic metal and produce such a great song out of it

[@jamesbuchanan4414]

Rap is a lot more versatile than people give it credit for.

[@LyrikalMaestro]

@@jamesbuchanan4414 it is and this isn't the first piece that rap and some other genre collabed either, what gets me is why this song did not hit top charts back in 2014. I was born in 1992 and WT debuted when I was 4 in 1996 which kinda upsets me because I never heard of them much less I just came across WT and Amaranthe back in 2015-2016 from youtube recommending them from one of Dead By April's songs one random day on the way to work. All in all, this is what good music should be strong lyrics+ fluid melody to result a masterful experience anyone can relate to or resonate to and I have a philosophical- ish belief I made up for music as a whole. Then again music was my very first inspiration at 5 years old and just recently a year ago I was reminded what my original inspiration was at a very young age and now I'm working hard endlessly to practice everything I can while polishing off the rusts I knew about music growing up.

Why do so many complain about the mix between Metal and Rap? It sounds awesome and why can´t Metal bands use rap in their songs? Metal has so many genres and so many different bands. The band Hed P.E. use metal and rap for their music. The Nu-Metal band Linkin Park do it too. Their are more bands like them who already did that, so what's the fu***** problem?

[@ppskain]

you goodamn right

[@forfuchsake2254]

Paolo Pileggi Thanks

[@Aeghamedic]

It's because most metal-heads despise anything that makes them question their unyielding and exclusive love of things metal. God forbid they enjoy rap for once.

[@thejaysatspindrift]

Sort of agree, and it is only 1 song out of a cornucopia of brilliant music by WT. Other bands like Linkin Park seem to fit (c)rap more easily… imho most rap is just childish attitude with stupid gestures and really boring music coupled with a serious lack of talent and yes, I have seen loads of it to try to embrace it - no way

[@darkservantofheaven]

I wonder what Xzibit's reaction was when they contacted him to make a guest appearance. and did he pimp their ride

[@DarthScorpio11]

He talked about that in an interview. Basically, he has no idea who Within Temptation was, but some of the band members thought it would be cool to do a track with him. He looked up their music and was shocked that they would contact him, being a metal band and all. However, he liked their stuff, and agreed to collaborate, leading to this awesome song

[@darkservantofheaven]

DarthScorpio11 gotta admit, that pretty cool as I enjoy both their music.

[@DarthScorpio11]

darkservantofheaven Yeah, some people in the metal community are super close minded and some are just downright racist. It's too bad.

[@darkservantofheaven]

DarthScorpio11 tell me about it. I had a roomate for a time who was very close minded about it. He was a metal head and he would get angry at the presence of rap anywhere, especially when they act in a movie. He got mad when he saw Tupac Shakur in a movie. when I explaiend to him that before pac was a rapper, he was a student at a performance art school and had taken classical acting courses as well as 3 musical instruments (bass, guitar and piano). "well fuck you! Im a metalhead" with extreme bias. I even said that there are likely performers in the metal and Rock genre who enjoy some rap, he called them sell outs. and the fucked up thing about it is...my roomate was black. I am gonna sound bias, but I swear rap gets shitted on the most by detracters. I know poeple that say "Rap degrades women" I am pretty sure that there are some rock or metal songs that do as well....I mean alot of rock songs from the 1980s showed strippers just as much as a rap video from the 1990s. "rap is full of violent and evil content..." and black metal/death metal doesnt?" "rap is not music because they do not actually sing...." So the growling and shreking in death metal qualifies as singing? and dont get me wrong, I like some metal and allot of rock, but come on to say one genre is a more legit source of entertaintment music is just plain ignorant. oh and heres my favorite one from the detracters, I hear this one from teenage boys mosty... "rap doesnt have the guitar and what kind of music doesnt include the guitar?"....um, classical, opera, jazz, swing, big band? I'm sure that not all metal fans are racist (well the ones into National Socialist Black Metal certainly are...) but I do think that there is a bit of an us vs them mentality...when one genre becomes more prominent in the media, the fans really have to over compensate by closing the doors and being angry about it. on the other end of the spectrum. where you have metalhead who hate and dispise rap/R&B...your average fan of Rap or R&B is unaware of most metal bands. In my experience, once introduced they start to like it. Its hard to introduce a quality rap song or group or artist to a your average metal head. but this all based on my personal experience.

Don't want to have to wait another 7 years for them.

Jedi Mind Tricks, Necro, ICP, King Gordy, Twiztid, Gravediggaz, Diabolic, Supreme NTM ( split up), IAM, Wu Tang Clan are some of many great Rap artists out there. Some have great message and some are a bit more tabbo, kind of like Death Metal but in Rap form :)

[@jasonf.9074]

And We Run, along with Paradise, are the best songs on the album. I don't get why people say that WT became a pop rock band, just because they experimented with different genres. Metal and rap are completely different music genres and WT with Xzibit achieved to combine them perfectly in a very meaningful song.

[@davidmatos7716]

People say that because of how the songs are written overall, not because they experimented with other genres. Most if not all Within Temptation songs nowadays are "radio friendly" (maybe the gutural part in Silver Moonlight isn't), with a predictable structure, easy to listen and catchy choruses. They're still Metal, but more commercial. Anyway, I find this latest album great. But if you want to listen to a good Symphonic Metal album which doesn't sound so "pop", try the latest effort from Delain and you'll see the difference. Personally, I find them equally good.

[@Snus83]

David Matos Yes, The Human Contradiction is amazing. Lucidity was quite good, and Delain is better with each album. Epica's The Quantum Enigma is also a fine sympho-metal ablum. I cannot say WT''s music is pop, but the mixing on Hydra is definitely poppish. Soft/quiet guitars, almost non-existent bass, prominent keyboards and, of course, sound dynamic range is quite small.

[@davidmatos7716]

Snus I have to disagree with the "Delain is better with each album" part. Lucidity was a great debut, April Rain was a good follow up and The Human Contradiction is their best for me, but in the middle we have We Are The Others which was their weakest effort to date.

[@Snus83]

David Matos I actually liked We are the Others and Interlude, but I agree that "Delain is better with each album" is a questionable statement. Anyway, here we are, discussing Delain's albums in WT thread. Which makes me wonder how important Martijn Westerholt was to the band.

[@sonicnator]

David Matos I would argue that a lot of Within Temptation's work was like that(excluding Enter). Since Mother Earth, they have made music that suits the genre excellently while still making it very accessible to everyone. Songs like Ice Queen, Never Ending Story, and Stand My Ground are good examples of this. Nothing has really changed much aside from their desire for branching out.

[@Zombot012]

Back in the day I was listening to a lot of rap (although I've always been a metal fan - from death/grind to nu metal) and Xzibit was one of the best. His role in this song is awesome. Congrats to both WT and Xzibit for this incredible collaboration!

Loving the Metal and Rap collab. Honestly would love to see more of it.

[@Harv72b]

Back in the 90s they made a really forgettable movie called "Judgment Night". Don't watch the movie, but look for the soundtrack. It contains what you seek.

[@erevosmoonbeam1059]

not exactly what you want , but there is a hiphop/opera collaboration , Hiphop meets classic.

[@alekztonkes4598]

Lucky we're in Europe, so most of our music is not like that, and u know what? Charles Darwin used to say that you evolve or die, and for evolvin u have to change, and there in the west they still with the same, so we could say proudly that, right now, we (and maybe others) are the ones that bring variety to music so it can evolve. What a shame this isn't played on radio so often U_U

[@jester2963]

metal? lol try again

[@ianjmccullough3614]

The soundtrack to this movie is amazing! Al lot of music like this song.

[@1chuck23]

New favorite song. Makes me cry for some reason. This is Perfection

[@rikkilleen3169]

You ain't the only one, my friend. I think the song speaks to something eternal in the human heart and it is composed and performed so beautifully across multiple genres that it draws in the spectrum of our shared experiences as it does so.

[@wtofficial]

Hey! Did you see the music video of our brand new single? Check "The Reckoning" (feat. Jacoby Shaddix) here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWjWgI2ViauIjsk

[@bsbznumber1fan]

Yes and i play it over and over jacoby shaddix from papa roach really put a nice twist on it. I shared it with a friend and he liked it so much he pre-ordered the new album.

[@monsieurrochee]

So underrated. This gives you so much power. The symphony, the voice and the rap. It all fitts.

[@Welderii]

This is just perfection. Hits straight to the core of my being. Too bad this song is so rarely on setlist in concerts nowadays.

[@jonathanrodriguez2410]

Why would metal and rap be enemies when we could be friends and make wonderful music together? Greetings from Texas 💙

[@SeanM375]

On the surface it is an odd pairing, but dammit it works so damned well!

[@ekatn]

I'm so sorry to say it... 4 minutes isn't enough for this song... This is such a masterpiece! I hit the replay button so many times it almost broke.

[@scottydu81]

They could collab some more material 🤷‍♂️ I’d be here for it

[@2k963]

That's the downside to having rap in a song. The songs get shorter. This is the shortest Within Temptation song I heard.

[@serged5689]

Я вчера случайно пересматривал Within Temptation и вдруг смотрю погодите ка а не та ли это Шарон которая поёт в миксе у Армина ван Бюрена? Вау так она ещё и рэп и трэнс и металл умеет. Респектище!

Within Temptation and Xzibit is quite possibly one of the best collaborations ever.

I never thought Xzibit would be one to make this crossover. ^___^

[@WickedUndergroundVR]

it's not his first time. He's worked with Sevendust and Korn in the past.

[@thehawk515]

And Limp Bizkit! :P

[@ozdragon7523]

@@CTeves97 I agree with you, that's a great collab, but a Power-Metal/Symphonic-Metal collab. This is the best Rap/Metal collaboration ever. (Do not bring back Jay-Z/Linkin Park, 'coz Jay-Z ruined that beautiful song!!)

[@RoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRose]

Honestly, I thought this will be a weird collaboration. But it is definitely *NOT*. It is a great song, especially for the morning.

[@X8802]

Ro Se Exactly, I thought the title was a joke.. came to find one of the best songs ever!

[@RoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRose]

X8802 You're right! Especially the extremely different, unique voices have caught me

[@shacklock01]

Ro Se Still thought xzibit was weak with his delivery could have been much more powerful.

[@RoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRose]

You're right but I think his weakness makes the song much more special, ***** :)

[@MrMoreonme]

***** What are you talking about? Xzibit killed it. I mean I don't know how powerful you expected him to be seeing as what he had to work with in terms of song and melody. It wasn't like one of his rap songs where he could really go hard. But the song was great and so was he.

[@XandriaRavenheart]

I've never seen rap mixed with symphonic metal before...but they did a good job.

[@FruityHachi]

rage against the machine, though they´re not symphonic, but they´re the best example of metal/rap combo

[@maksphoto78]

To be honest, it's not metal. More like pop-rock. This song (especially with rap) sounds like what Katy Perry would do.

[@MrRyanwojcik]

maksphoto78 missing one huge point though, Katy Perry can't even compare to the greatness of Within Temptation ;)

[@Mintfriction]

maksphoto78 Katty Perry? Seriously? Because katy perry's songs sound so alike with drums, guitar etc ...

[@MrRyanwojcik]

Mintfriction i totally agree with that also.. very stupid comparison.

[@Furyhunter85]

I dont know why, but this song brings me tears, not because of saddness and I dont think it's Joy too, just emotions spilling over

[@Blueglitter73]

This is beautiful

[@TheStriplessTiger]

Yo dawg, we heard you like rap AND metal.

Ummmmm... This was good but I still don't think it's on par with Linkin Park.
