Within Temptation.

The partnership between Within Temptation and Bertus/Artone has been in place since May 2022 and covers all aspects of the physical product - from new studio albums, back catalogue re-issue plans, production and worldwide sales and distribution to the fulfilment of the band's own shop via Bertus.

In 2023 Within Temptation released their 8th studio album Bleed Out, marking their first independently released record on the band’s own label, Force Music Recordings in a partnership with Artone’s imprints Music On Vinyl and Music On CD. Artone appointed both a project manager and a product manager to work closely with the band’s management and their marketing manager. 

Bleed Out was manufactured and released in multiple vinyl and CD configurations, cassette and deluxe box set. The album sold over 75.000 copies, received positive reviews from both media and fans, resulted in many cover stories in key magazines throughout Europe and achieved Top-10 positions in several key markets. 

Over the course of the last 4 years Artone put together and executed an extensive catalogue exploitation plan combined with a new release plan. Many of Within Temptations previous releases were made available in new formats for the very first time.
