"Now it's up to the fans to tell us what they think..." hmv.com talks to Within Temptation

We caught up with Within Temptation this week at their in-store signing and acoustic performance at our store at 363 Oxford Street. They talked to us about the new album, Hydra, how much they're looking forward to playing Wembley Arena, and what it was like working with rapper Xzibit: "When that song was written and re-run we kind of had the feeling that it needed some contrast with Sharon's voice, and he has a really nice deep voice. The music that he has done showed that he is open for other stuff, you know? He's done stuff with heavy guitars and orchestral thing, and he seemd like a very nice person from that show Pimp My Ride."

Watch our exclusive interview with Sharon, Ruud and Martijn below!
