"We have done four shows so far. We started in Krasnoyarsk. Than we visited Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Kransoyarsk and yesterday we played in Nizhni Novgorod," he said.
In turn, Within Temptation’s singer Sharon den Adel stressed that the band has very devoted fans in Russia.
"We know we have a very fanatic (in a positive way) fan club (in Russia) and they always do flashmobs. They do not do it anywhere else only in Russia," the singer said.
In this tour the band plays five songs from the forthcoming album.
"There will be 10 songs on it (the album - TASS). It was recorded in a very short time. We had a lot of inspiration," Sharon den Adel said talking about the group’s new release.

"We spent almost two weeks in studio trying to come up with not quite metal like guitar sound. We tried to stay away a little bit from that," the guitarist said.
Within Temptation was founded in 1996 the Netherlands by guitarist Robert Westerholt and vocalist Sharon den Adel. The group’s discography includes 6 studio albums, the release of the new album "Resist" is scheduled for December 14, 2018.
