Enter is the first studio album by Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation, released by DSFA Records in 1997 (see 1997 in music). The album displays lead singer Sharon den Adel's vocals, but also concentrates on guitarist Robert Westerholt's gruff death metal growls.
The album's style is very instrumental compared to the band's later works. Many of the tracks have longer instrumental parts with no lyrics. On several songs Westerholt provides growling (in contrast to the band's recent works where growling is no longer used).
The lyrics focus on darkness, death, emptiness, ghosts, hell, romance, and war instead of fantasy, love, and nature on later albums. The songs are much longer, slower and are generally more depressing. The album has been classified as gothic doom.
