感想
Within Temptation,
一個以悲情歌曲聞名的美聲旋律歌德金樂團,
帶有悠悠悲傷的樂曲,
加上女主唱的歌聲,
聽他們的歌曲時,
會有一種悲傷的感受。
歌德金本身總是帶有憂傷的氣息,
融合了歌德搖滾的黑暗抑鬱與重金屬的侵略性。
歌德金屬誕生於20世紀90年代初的歐洲,由死亡厄運金屬發展而來。
歌德金屬音樂按照所融合的重金屬樂的不同類型,
也有不同分類。
歌詞上,既有歌德小說式的,也有描述個人經歷的,極富戲劇性並充滿悲傷與感悟。
在音樂特性上,
歌德金屬在音樂上的基本特點是其黑暗氛圍。
「黑暗」一詞常被用來形容歌德音樂,
類似的詞還有「深邃」、「憂鬱」、「浪漫」、「激情」、「劇烈」等。
歌德金屬可描述為「歌德搖滾的黑暗憂鬱與重金屬樂的結合」。
在唱腔方面,
歌德金也很多元化,
在男聲方面,
舉凡黑腔死腔,
假聲男高音、男低音等,
在女聲方面,
則有嘶吼與咆嘯,
流行女聲及歌劇女高音等類型,
在歌德金裡,
後期發展出來的樂團,
大多都含有女聲在其中,
但並不是代表有女聲的樂團,
該樂團的性質就一定屬於歌德金屬,
像Arch Enemy就是屬於旋律死金,
而只會胡亂嘶吼的In This Moment就是屬於Metalcore,
但不可否認的是,
歌德金屬確實是女性主唱最多的重金屬種類。
Within Temptation算是一團很歌德的歌德金樂團,
這麼說或許會讓人一頭霧水,
但是如果仔細的去聽他們的歌詞,
就會發現他們的歌詞,
幾乎可說是完全跟傳統歌德金的歌詞取向一模一樣,
在悲泣的歌詞驅使下,
配合上憂傷的旋律,
讓Within Temptation的音樂,
悲傷到一個不知道該怎麼形容的境界。
女主唱Sharon den Adel本身屬於很標準的美聲主唱,
Johnson個人覺得她的唱腔比較偏向於歌劇女聲的唱法
Sharon den Adel本身並不屬於很有power的女主唱,
但是配合上Within Temptation的音樂卻是剛好,
原因在於Within Temptation的歌曲並不需要很有power的唱法,
Sharon den Adel在高音領域的表現,
Johnson認為她迎刃有餘,
且Sharon den Adel在高音的時候,
常常會有轉音的表現,
當轉音時,
並不會讓人覺得她的轉音有很吃力的感覺,
至於他們的樂手,
雙吉他的配合並不突出,
說坦白的只能算一般般,
keyboard手在Within Temptation算是很重要的角色,
而Within Temptation的keyboard算是有中上水準的樂手,
很多氣氛的營造,
做的很有感覺,
鼓手及bass手的部份,
個人感覺鼓手的功力稍微弱了一些些,
有些部分感覺有些空洞,
bass手則很成功的在低音部份,
營造出樂曲想要表達出的那種沉重感,
基本上六個人的配合算是很不錯的。
Within Temptation官方網站釋放出來的消息,
明年2011年的3月份,
Within Temptation的新專輯TAB將要發行,
與很多樂團不同,
Within Temptation並沒有搶在今年發行新的專輯,
對於歌德金有興趣的人,
可以期待他們的新專輯發行,
喜愛憂傷系的人,
這團Johnson還滿推薦的。

Within Temptation - What Have You Done
Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
Than to harm the one I love
What have you done now
I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know I should stop believing
I know that there\'s no retrieving
It's over now
What have you done
What have you done now
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away But now you are slipping away
What have you done now
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you(What have you done..)
What have you done now
What have you done...
What have you done now
Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to
Cause you have turned into my worst enemy?
You carry hate that I feel
It's over now
What have you done .
What have you done now
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you(What have you done....)
What have you done now
What have you done....
What have you done now
I will not fall
Won't let it go
We will be free
When it ends
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you
