The Gathering (band) Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The Dutch rock band The Gathering came to fame in the second half of 90's with its unique blend of atmospheric, almost ambient sound and the compelling vocal of the passionate Anneke van Giersbergen.While their first two albums - "Always" (1993) and "Almost a Dance" (1994) were quite typical, although refined death-metal albums, which were recorded with two different vocalists, their following "Mandylion" (1995) on which Anneke van Giersbergen sang for the first time, was a beautifully written, dark, haunting and emotional piece of music.
Their following studio albums "Nighttime Birds" (1997), "How to Measure a Planet?" (1999), "If_Then_Else" (2000) and "Souvenirs" (2003) showed progress and maturation of the band. "Sleepy Buildings" released in 2004 is a live semi-acoustic perfomance recorded by the band over a course of two nights.
