Where the breakthrough began.
With their second studio album 'Mother Earth', Within Temptation introduced the world to what would become their signature sound: soaring orchestral arrangements, heavy guitars, Celtic and folk influences, and the unmistakable, ethereal voice of Sharon den Adel. Featuring the hit single "Ice Queen" alongside fan favourites such as "Mother Earth", "Our Farewell" and "Never-Ending Story", the album became a defining moment for symphonic metal and laid the foundation for everything that followed. It went on to reach double Platinum in the Netherlands, Platinum in Germany and Gold in Belgium.
This Anniversary Edition is an expanded 2CD set in a deluxe digisleeve. CD1 features the original album plus 4 bonus tracks, including the brand-new 2025 acoustic version of "Ice Queen". The bonus disc adds 13 live, acoustic and rare versions of some of the album tracks.
A true collector's item for every Within Temptation fan.
