Within Temptation release new single with Ukrainian band BLIND8

STAND STRONG WITH UKRAINIAN BAND

BLIND8

ON THEIR NEW SINGLE ‘LABYRINTH’
OUT NOW

Ukrainian band BLIND8 are releasing their brand new song, ‘Labyrinth’, featuring Sharon den Adel of symphonic metal band Within Temptation.

This collaboration is a landmark moment for BLIND8, who formed just before the Russian invasion of Ukraine and have become a leading light for rock music in their homeland whenever circumstances allow. They will be joining Within Temptation as the opening act on their ‘Bleed Out 2024’ European tour this autumn, playing arenas across mainland Europe and the UK.

The song is also being released worldwide via Within Temptation’s own record label Force Music Recordings.

Within Temptation’s singer Sharon comments: “‘Labyrinth’ is not just a song; it’s a testament to the enduring power of music. And even with Roman, the singer, and Ihor, the bass player currently having been mobilized and in training for the war, BLIND8 continue to defy the odds, proving that even in the most challenging times, art can shine a light in the darkness.”
BLIND8 remain committed and hopeful of spreading their message of solidarity, perseverance and defiance across Europe at the end of this year, playing to their largest audiences yet in huge arenas, when they support Within Temptation. The musicians have said that this song is their testament to the fact that even in the darkest times, music has the power to inspire and unite people.

Within Temptation embark on their huge arena tour of Europe in the Autumn of 2024. Joining the rock band on this tour, will be both Within Temptation’s recent collaborative artists and longtime friends: singer Tarja Turunen*, German metalcore band Annisokay, Ukrainian band Blind8, Green Lizard and Ukrainian producer + vocalist Alex Yarmak.

The tour starts in September with two shows in The Netherlands (that sold out within days) and will continue throughout Europe in an array of impressive arenas. A number of dates have already sold out, with tickets running low across Europe.
