Within Temptation drop new single, Shed My Skin: "Real growth begins where comfort zones end…"

Within Temptation and Annisokay have teamed up for a typically powerful new single, Shed My Skin.

The song itself is out today (June 25) while the official video arrives during the band's The Aftermath – A Show In A Virtual Reality in July, with Sharon den Adel revealing: "Shed My Skin revolves around dealing with inevitable changes in life. It is about becoming the person we are meant to be, even if that means losing people we love, but have grown apart from. Real growth begins where comfort zones end and that’s exactly what the song is all about: if we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living."

Mentioning what it was like working with Annisokay, the vocalist continues, "We like to expand and broaden our horizon, and constantly find new music and bands that inspire us. Annisokay brings a super refreshing sound to the table, which we absolutely love. We are super happy that these talented guys wanted to join forces with us for our new single!"

The band own Christoph Wieczorek adds: "Within Temptation is a band we love and have listened to for many, many years. You can imagine how stunned we were when they reached out and asked us if we want to feature on their next single – just because they love our music as well! We’re beyond proud about being a part of this amazing song and really hope the people out their love it as much as we do."
