Within Temptation have shared the official music video for new single ‘Entertain You’.

The track is the band’s first material since their 2019 seventh studio album ‘Resist’ and showcases a dramatic new sound for the Dutch symphonic metallers.

The dark, atmospheric visuals bring to life the song, which revolves around the urge for self-gratification at the expense of another.

Frontwoman Sharon den Adel explains, “Eventually everyone will have their own idea what the song and video are about. For us the inspiration comes from how we treat a certain group of people that don’t fit in our society and that we always feel a need to emphasize how much they do not fit in – so we can feel good about ourselves. We start singling them out, cornering them in all sorts of ways. Nowadays our first reaction is to film an incident instead of helping someone.”

“They’re not here for our entertainment…It’s time for a bit more self-reflection and to ask ourselves why we do it and think about the consequences for the other. Awareness is hopefully a step forward to change.”
