The second song is "Faster" by Within Temptation. It's their new single from their upcoming album "The Unforgiving," due out on March 25, 2o11 (March 29 in the US and Canada). The album is going to be based on a comic book series to be released around the same time as the album under the same name. Along with that, the music videos are going to be a series of short films. If you've hung out with me recently and given me any chance, you've probably heard me ramble on about this album and if you hang out with me anytime soon, you probably will, too.
The next song is "Let You Down" by The Material. This band just released their first full-length album on January 11 of this year and I really love their sound. They have a sound that I'd really like to see become the popular music of today. They have a very mature sound that isn't so mature that it's intangible. I'm looking very forward to seeing where this band goes and what they do in the near future.
This next song, I've been a fan of for a while but it's definitely noteworthy. "Adore" by Anneke Van Giersbergen and Agua De Annique. Where I first heard about this artist is when she backed up Within Temptation on their live performance of "Somewhere" on their "Black Symphony" live album. I had heard the name of her former band, The Gathering, thrown around quite a bit as the inspiration for many members of several of my favorite bands. She's an amazing artist whose voice has been praised by other musicians for her ability to make a raw demo sound as good as the final draft.
*Fun Fact* For her most recent studio album, "In Your Room," New Westminster native, Devin Townsend helped her write a song called "Just Fine."
