The first new single after the band’s eighth studio album Bleed Out (released in October 2023), ‘A Fool’s Parade’ was released on April 5, 2024, and serves as an anthem against the deceptive manoeuvres of Russia. Through their music, Within Temptation continue to shed light on the cruel invasion by Russia in Ukraine and portray the harsh reality Ukrainians are facing.
Within Temptation have announced that all royalties from ‘A Fool’s Parade’ will be donated to Music Saves UA, for the duration of the war.
This decision underscores the band's unwavering support for Ukraine, and their ongoing involvement with initiatives like the Ukraine Aid OPS foundation.
The release stands as a precursor to the highly anticipated 'Bleed Out 2024 Tour’.
