Sharon den Adel is counted among the most popular female vocalists in symphonic metal, alongside Nightwish's Floor Jansen and Epica's Simone Simons. She stands among the great metal artists hailing from the Netherlands.

Within Temptation underwent a musical transformation

Over the years, her distinctive vocal style, along with Within Temptation's music, has evolved significantly. While the band was initially associated with gothic and symphonic metal genres, the Dutch group now leans more towards alternative metal.

She co-founded Within Temptation with her husband Robert Westerholt in 1996. Prior to that, she was active as a fashion designer, and she continues to design her striking stage outfits herself.
