In 1992, Westerholt formed the band “The Circle” with future Within Temptation keyboard player Martijn Spierenburg, and he began writing his own music. The Circle’s first demo, entitled ‘Symphony No.1’ was finished in December 1992.

Their first drummer was Richard Willemse, who left and was replaced with Dennis Leeflang, with whom Within Temptation recorded their first demo.
