Record and Perform with Within Temptation on WholeWorldBand

Chart-topping symphonic metal band Within Temptation have teamed up with innovative music video app WholeWorldBand to offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans to be featured on one of their upcoming single releases.

As musical collaborations go, the combination of chart-topping Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation and LA rap legend Xzibit isn't the most obvious. Yet the two parties have not only teamed up but produced a track that takes their two apparently diverse sounds and creates a natural mix. Such has been the response to 'And We Run' as an album track that the band have chosen it as their next single.

Yet the collaboration doesn't stop there. Within Temptation have also joined forces with the revolutionary iPad music video platform WholeWorldBand to create a version of the song that allows fans to join them in the digital world. Singers, musicians, rappers - all can add their performance to the song or even replace an existing member of the band via an easy-to-use (and free!) app. The most successful contributions will be chosen to appear on one of the band's future single releases. Furthermore, the winners will receive 2 tickets for a show including a meet and greet, photos with the band, a personal video message as well as a Focusrite iTrack studio recording system. 

There are more great prizes too for just getting involved and making a contribution or Video Mix with Within Temptation on the app including signed limited edition box sets of the new Within Temptation album Hydra, a range of exclusive merchandise and Focusrite iTrack solo iPad interfaces.
