From the WT site:
.... This weekend we will be in Germany to record a video for our new single ‘All I Need’ which will be released in Europe in November. Further details such as single tracklistings and release dates will follow soon. After the videoshoot we’ll be doing shows throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. .... All the best, Sharon, Robert, Ruud, Martijn, Stephen and Jeroen. I figure a November release? ::EDIT:: I found this on Live-Metal.net. From the Hottest Chicks Of Metal Tour.. I cut out the other bands, it was a very long review: Getting intimate with “The Hottest Chicks in Metal” LACUNA COIL WITHIN TEMPTATION IN THIS MOMENT STOLEN BABIES Jaxx Springfield, VA May 11, 2007 When it was announced that Lacuna Coil would be headlining the Revolver-sponsored “Hottest Chicks in Metal Tour,” I immediately thought, “What a great idea!” And not entirely because of these women's beautiful looks, which have made it into the dreams of several thousand male fans over the years, but because this is a subgenre of metal longing for recognition in the United States. Over the years, there have been several great female-fronted metal acts, and, no, I'm not talking about Lita Ford or Vixen. Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Tristania, Theatre of Tragedy and The Gathering (who is playing select dates on the tour), to name a few, all have emerged in the last decade from outside of the United States, carving a path for females in the future of metal. Now, of course, all of these bands are not featured, but given Lacuna Coil's recent explosion in the United States in the last few years, the subgenre is slowly but surely making it's way over here. This marks the first American tour for Holland's Within Temptation The tour came to Jaxx nightclub in Springfield, Va., about as intimate as any of us are going to get with Cristina Scabbia, Within Temptation's Sharon den Adel or In This Moment's Maria Brink. The club itself is in an odd location. It's part of a strip mall and only holds about 400 to 500 people. Lacuna Coil has, of course, played in front of thousands of fans, and the same goes for Within Temptation, who has played dozens of festivals throughout Europe. So a small, intimate setting like this is even more special for fans of these arena-ready acts. Having seen Lacuna Coil several times before, I was most looking forward to Within Temptation. The band has been around for more than 10 years now, but this is their first U.S. tour. Their latest album, The Heart of Everything is already out in Europe and will be released in America on July 24, 2007. Sharon den Adel is a awe-inspiring vocalist, and, yes, she is very hot. She has more range than Cristina and is years beyond Evanescence's Amy Lee, even if the styles are sometimes compared. Her stage presence is unmatched, and the most important thing is that she truly is enjoying herself performing. Sharon grinned from ear to ear throughout the set, her smile no doubt largely inspired by the fantastic crowd response. At times, it seemed like Within Temptation was the headlining act. I can't stress enough how great her and the band's performance was. Their sound was one of the absolute best I've heard in a long long time, which makes sense since they've been at it for many years now. And judging from fan response and recent Internet posts, they won over many fans this night, so just think how many coverts they will have by the end of the tour. Sharon actively pursued crowd participation, with her hands in the air, even letting a lucky fan in the front row sing Keith Caputo's part in “What Have you Done Now.” She even led the crowd, jumping up and down in her gown to the band's classic, “Ice Queen.” Between songs, she thanked everyone on numerous occasions for their support and explained that both “Mother Earth” and “The Heart of Everything” were inspired by the movie Braveheart. “Mother Earth” was the highlight of the set. If you have any reservations about going just for Lacuna Coil, drop them, because Within Temptation alone is worth the ticket price. Watch out for a full tour later on this year.

I heard on an interview they did with Triple J before THOE came out that the band would really like to come to Australia. But I guess that doesn't mean much cause they don't decide where they go, their management does. Anyway, keeping fingers and toes crossed for an Aussie tour! Oh yeh, and I can't believe they are going BACK to America! They could come here instead!

Just hang in there; I'm sure they'll make it to Australia eventually. I think they're just testing the waters in one new place at a time. A couple of years ago there was an interview with Sharon and Robert where they said they thought they'd NEVER come to America for a tour because of a lack of a proper fanbase. Well, they came, and they were surprised by the response. It's very likely that with that response, they'll be trying it in other untouched areas as well.

Interview with Sharon from caustictruths:
I must admit, it was a difficult assignment to interview Sharon den Adel, the beautiful raven haired vocalist for Within Temptation. Her astonishing looks are almost secondary to her wonderful personality and down to earth persona; it all makes her, well, enchanting. But with tape-recorder and microphone in hand, I rolled up my sleeves and went to work. I spoke at length to Sharon about the new album, The Heart of Everything, and their thoughts regarding playing for North American audiences. While Within Temptation have been recording albums for years and touring the globe, their presence in North America was non-existent. That changed earlier this year when Road Runner released their new album and brought the band over for their first North American tour. But the band kept their expectations low so that they wouldn’t be disappointed. “We didn’t expect anything really”, states Sharon. “When you come over to a big country like the US, we didn’t expect a lot of people to know us, because this is kind of an introduction tour, you know? Our album wasn’t out officially yet, and we didn’t have any expectations, just like every time we go to a new country. The way we look at it is if you don’t have any expectations, there is no way you can be disappointed. We had a very welcome reception, which has been really nice. They knew us better in some places than in others, but there were always a few people that came especially for us. Some of them drove a lot of miles to see us even if we only played for forty minutes, which was really amazing. We also met a lot of people who had never heard of us and were really surprised about our music. We are over here to win hearts”, she laughs. Lately fans on this side of the pond have been lucky to see many bands from Europe, but how do the fans in North America compare to the rest of the world? “They are more like the fans from the southern part of Europe, like Spain, Portugal or Italy. People they express themselves in a different way. From the first moment you start playing, they start going wild, and it’s the same thing in America. I didn’t expect it, I expected a more reserved reaction until they would get warmed up, which is the case in most of northern Europe. But that only happened in the big cities like New York or Los Angeles, where people are more used to bands playing there. In the smaller towns, people were enthusiastic from the moment we started playing. Everyone was so enthusiastic. I underestimated that, but it was nice to know that so many people did know our songs. They did come to see us, even though we did play for such a short while.” Their stage time for their last tour in the states was cut short due to the fact that they were in the support slot, something that they haven’t done back home for quite some time. Does that make it feel like starting at the beginning again? “Yeah, it’s like the second time around actually”, she laughs. “You can never go back to that point in time again of when we were starting. It has your good sides and bad sides because technically, the equipment is not what we are used to. But on the other hand, the intimacy of the venues gives you that rock and roll, plug and play feeling. That was something that we missed, so this brought that back again. It s really nice and we enjoyed it a lot really. Some people are surprised because in Europe we do bigger big venues and festivals. In Holland we have a saying, “Eating different foods makes you hungry”, Sharon says laughing. “That means having the two different worlds is nice, it adds diversity and we got that intimacy back again in America.” I’ve been lucky enough to see Within Temptation several times in Europe where their stage show is adorned with huge backdrops, props and exploding pyrotechnics. But their touring in North America sees them going back to basics. Yet even with the changes, they seem to relish the return to no frills in sweaty rock clubs. “Well the stage is something that is an extra and when we can do it, we will do it. Of course when you are going on tour where the venues aren’t that big and when you are playing with four bands, there is not much space. Of course, it is an adjustment, but first it is all about the music. You would love to do the stage show everywhere in every town, but it’s all about the music. If you could do something extra for the fans, it’s always nice, but it’s something that maybe will happen in the future. If it’s possible to play bigger venues in the future maybe we could do something like that.” On the Heart of Everything, Sharon does a duet with singer who’s no stranger to playing high energy shows, Keith Caputo from Life of Agony. The native New Yorker is now a part time resident in Holland and appears on the single and video for the future classic, “What Have You Done”. “Many years ago we saw Keith play at a Dutch festival with Life of Agony”, explains Sharon. “It was really, really bad weather, because it always rains in Holland. It was raining and storming and usually everybody always look for shelter, but most people just stood there and they were so captivated by the band and by Keith’s vocals. We said we didn’t care about the rain; we were going to stay right where we were and we did. We looked back at that and that was always in our mind. “When we wrote this song, the first way was just my vocals”, she continues. “When we did the demo, Robert and I were signing the song together, it had more balls I think”, she laughs. “It has more aggression I think and we said OK, this needs to be a duet. We needed some energy that would fit my voice and also the song. We said we always liked Keith, and we said lets play him the song and see if he likes it. So we sent it to him, and he lives in Holland for a big part of the time because he has a side project with a lot of Dutch musicians. We got in contact with him through them and he liked the song and two weeks later we were recording it. “His voice totally fit my voice, which we didn’t know of course, but we hoped it would. The cherry on the cake was that he was a very nice person. Most times when you like bands, they are not always the nicest people”, she says laughing. “You never know how people are personally when they are in their own surroundings. He was very relaxed and just a very nice guy.”
