Within Temptation is a Dutch symphonic metal band founded in April 1996 by vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt. They have been classified by critics as gothic metal and symphonic metal, although each album contains other influences outside these genres. Their most prominent and well-known sound is described as symphonic metal, although their earlier material, such as debut album Enter, was mostly gothic metal, with Enter also having a hint of doom metal. In an interview, den Adel said they fell into a symphonic rock genre with various influences. In another interview, den Adel stated that "We consider ourselves more an atmospheric melodic symphonic metal/rock band... In my opinion, we are not a gothic band but we have gothic elements".

Up to date Annisokay released two demo-CDs, two EP and five studio albums: The Lucid Dream[er] was originally self-released in 2012 (2013 via Radtone Records in Japan) and was re-released in 2014 when the band signed a label deal with SPV GmbH. The follow-up record Enigmatic Smile was released in March 2015 and peaked at no. 68 in the German albums charts.

Annisokay toured Germany several times and played alongside acts like Silverstein, Callejon and Electric Callboy. They played at 2014s edition of Summer Breeze Open Air and at Mair1 Festival in Montabaur.

The band was founded in 2007 in Halle, Saxony-Anhalt. In 2008 and 2009 the band released two demo CDs with My Ticket to Reno and The Point You Will Still Miss. In 2010 the band produced and released their first official EP called You, Always which was available as CD and Download. The band covered the song "Telephone" originally performed by Lady Gaga which was never released officially.

On 2 September 2012 the band released a music video for a song called "Sky" which was a single for the debut record which was released on 1 October 2012. This album is called The Lucid Dream[er] and was mastered by Joey Sturgis who had worked with acts like We Came as Romans, Emmure and Asking Alexandria in the past. The album was produced by Christoph Wieczorek in his own recording studio Sawdust Recordings and by Aljosha Sieg at Pitchback Studios. Since the band's inception the band toured together with acts like Upon This Dawning, Intohimo, Broadway and His Statue Falls.

In 2013, Annisokay got signed to Radtone Music to release the album in Japan. On 28 June 2013, the band played Mair1 Festival in Montabaur and played together with acts like Boysetsfire, Deez Nuts, Silent Screams and Bury Your Dead. In the end of July the band toured Germany for the first time as headline act. The tour started in Venray, Netherlands which was their first international gig.

Despite their message to not play live shows for a while Annisokay returned in February to support Parkway Drive for two shows in Russia. Also February 2016 it was announced that Annisokay are set to support The Word Alive on their "The Dark Matter EU/UK Tour" in May 2016 including shows in the UK, France, Italy, Belgium and more.

On 28 April, annisokay released the music video of the song "What's Wrong" and announced the new album to be released on 11 November 2016. Six month after parting ways with their drummer the band introduced Nico Vaeen as new member in June 2016. A few weeks later they also revealed the "secret thing" – hinted in December 2015 – to be an EP called "Annie Are You Okay?" as tribute to their bandname giver Michael Jackson.

The EP was released only digital at 19 June 2016 and includes hardcore covers of the songs "Beat It", "Thriller", "Scream" and "They Don't Care About Us".

On 7 September, they officially revealed cover and name of the new album, Devil May Care, and released the music videos "Loud" (October 2016) and "Blind Lane" (November 2016) before the album was hitting the market. At the end of 2016 annisokay were special guest at Electric Callboy "Fandigo Tour" and announced their own headliner "Devil May Care Tour" for 2017. This tour contained shows in the UK, Czech Republic, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine as well as 14 shows in Germany. Notwithstanding the above, they played at national and international festivals for example Woodstock (Poland), Rhein Rock Open, Faine Misto Festival (Ukraine).

On 16 November 2017, the band announced they signed with the German record label Arising Empire. Later in 2017, they expand their Devil May Care Tour for three shows and confirmed different festival gigs 2018 including Reload Festival, Rhein Riot and Summer Breeze.

On 21 October 2019, the band surprisingly announced via Facebook that they have immediately parted ways with unclean vocalist Dave Grunewald. Even though Grunewald was not an active band member any more, Annisokay promised to play every announced show as planned. At the same time the band revealed a fifth studio album to be released in 2020. Only moments after the band's message Dave Grunewald confirmed the break-up and assured that Annisokay and himself have been parting ways on amicable terms, without disputes and no one made this decision recklessly. On demand of morecore.de, a german online music magazine, band leader and clean vocalist Christoph Wieczorek said that shouts and screams will still be a part of the band's music in future. On 26 October, annisokay played their first live show without Grunewald in Schüttorf, Germany and presented Rudi Schwarzer – a member of German hardcore band Wither as well as former member of LEAVE. and Arctic Island – as their new Shouter.

While supporting Emil Bulls on their yearly X-mas Bash tour Annisokay presented the first brand new song with their new shouter Rudi. However they did not reveal the title so it is not known what the name is, or if the song is part of the upcoming album. On 17 April 2020, the band released a new song called "STFU" which is the first song to feature new unclean vocalist Rudi Schwarzer. On 28 September 2020, the band released another song called "Bonfire of the Millennials" which also appeared on their album "Aurora", which was released on 29 January 2021.

On 19 March 2023, in an Instagram post, the band addressed founding member and bassist Norbert Rose's absence from recent live shows and revealed that he would be stepping away from the band due to "personal problems in his family".
