The Heart of Everything
''The Heart of Everything'' is the fourth studio album by Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation, released by GUN Records on March 12, 2007 in Europe. It was released in North America on June 18, 2007 by Roadrunner Records. As the album focuses on some of the difficult choices people make throughout their lives, the band decided to reflect this theme by depicting Lady Justice on the cover, a figure known to symbolize the weighing of moral decisions.〔 The artwork was done by Dutch artist Erwin Olaf.〔http://bravewords.com/news/within-temptation-reveal-new-album-title-artwork-available〕
==Background==
Composing for the album started at the end of 2005, and recording came to life on half 2006.〔http://www.live-metal.net/interviews_withintemptation.html〕 The album was released on March 9, 2007, in the Netherlands, and in the United States on July 24. Two tracks, called "The Howling" and "Sounds of Freedom", were recorded as promotion material for the video game ''The Chronicles of Spellborn'', and the first of these opens the album. The full track listing was revealed on January 10, 2007. About their inspiration, the band cited books as well as important moments of their personal lives, mainly the act of making choices.〔http://heavymetal.about.com/od/interviews/a/withintemptatio.htm〕 About certain songs, like ''Our Solemn Hour'', lead vocalist Sharon den Adel as "people get sacrificed also for war and we don't learn from that."〔 About their second single, Frozen, lead vocalist den Adel said that they "wrote a song about child abuse", so they released the song as a single and gave all the profits to the ''Child Helpline International''. In den Adel's words: "We chose this organization because they are represented in 160 countries and it is very easy to get in contact with them. You can send them an e-mail or call. They are there not only to help, but also to just listen, and you can decide how much help you want."〔 As the album was the band's first to be released on the USA due to the upgrading recognition they were earning throughout Europe, the label decided to put "Stand My Ground", from the previous album, on the American edition of the release as a form to get people interest on the band earlier albums〔 that were later released.
