Within Temptation and Smash Into Pieces released together the massive single Somebody Like You

Smash Into Pieces and Within Temptation have joined forces with the joint song Somebody Like You. The song immediately ended up being played on several European rock and metal radio stations, and the momentum increased on Wednesday, when the music video made for the single was also released.

Combining cinematic orchestrations and modern rock, the song is an emotional ballad that deals with vulnerability, longing and the human need for connection. The single also features a 22-piece orchestra, and the end result was very dynamic. At the same time, the collaboration merged two different musical worlds into the same song: the symphonic depth and storytelling of Within Temptation and the modern edge of Smash Into Pieces.

“We’ve known each other for a long time and also toured together, so this is the perfect song to finally join forces. Adding an orchestra to this song felt like a trip to the memories for us, but at the same time it nicely complemented the more modern rock sound. We’re proud of what the song has become and grateful for the collaboration that brought it to life,” says Within Temptation’s Sharon den Adel.

The mega-popular Smash Into Pieces heads into the weekend with a bang with the single Maze Of Fools – The video continues the mini-series set in Arcadia World

Swedish band Smash Into Pieces drop the bold single ‘Maze Of Fools’ today, which urges you to break free from all limiting factors and stand strong in the face of adversity.

“You have the power to take your future into your own hands. Whatever stands between you and your dreams, we will smash it to pieces,” the band reminds, also referring to the band’s name with a cheerful pun.

The band, which enjoyed huge success with their previous singles ‘Six Feet Under’ and ‘Heroes Are Calling’ and quickly reached the precious metal level with both songs, takes viewers of the song’s music video back to the world of their Arcadia World mini-movies. The latest twists in the adventures taking place in virtual reality is now available on the band’s YouTube channel.

​The band has already accumulated over a billion streams and views on digital platforms, and with 1.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, the band spends a lot of time on the road. In addition to their own tours, Smash Into Pieces has toured with Evanescence and Within Temptation, among others. Last year, the band shone in the final of the Swedish Melodifestival, finishing third in the competition, and the band’s entry ‘Heroes Are Calling’ dominated radio in their home country for weeks.
