"The Gathering" is a gothic metal / progressive rock / alternative
rock band formed in Oss, the Netherlands, in 1989. They announced a
hiatus in 2014. The current line-up consists of Silje Wergeland (lead
vocals), René Rutten (guitars and flute), Frank Boeijen (keyboards), and
Hans Rutten (drums). The band had some line-up changes during the
years, the most notable being Silje Wergeland replacing in 2009 the
former singer Anneke van Giersbergen (who was a member from 1994 to
2007). Their first two albums, "Always…" (1992) in the death metal/doom
metal style of the era and "Almost a Dance" (1993) that, though always
regarded as a failure, played a part in the formation of gothic metal,
were recorded with four different vocalists. Their subsequent release,
"Mandylion" (1995), on which Anneke van Giersbergen sang for the first
time, was a dark, haunting, and emotional piece of music. It was also
one of the first albums of its kind in respect to female fronted metal
bands, and it is still considered a standard by many female fronted
metal bands.
Their following studio albums "Nighttime Birds" (1997), "How to
Measure a Planet?" (1998), "If_then_else" (2000) and "Souvenirs" (2003)
showed progress and maturation of the band. There is also an
electro-acoustic live album "Sleepy Buildings: A Semi Acoustic Evening",
which was released in 2004, and was followed by a similar semi-acoustic
tour. Their 8th studio album, "Home", was released in April 2006. "The
Gathering" has promoted this album with a tour and festivals for the
rest of 2006-2007.
On June 5, 2007 it was announced that Anneke is going to leave "The
Gathering" in August 2007 to focus on her new project, "Agua de Annique"
and her family. After van Giersbergen leaving, the band started working
on new songs and finding new singers. With finding Silje Wergeland from
Norway the band again completed the line up. Silje has been the singer
of the Norwegian band "Octavia Sperati" for 8 years including several
other projects. 9th album "The West Pole" also includes two very
talented guest singers: the Dutch Anne van den Hoogen and Mexican
Marcela Bovio (from Stream of Passion).
"The West Pole" is a very vital, atmospheric and extravert rock
orientated album, with all the quality and power the band is so famous
for, also with many new elements. The sound is guitar driven, alive and
urgent; a strong and beautifully coloured album with haunting female
vocals. It’s produced by guitar player René Rutten and mixed &
mastered by Zlaya Hadzich, who also did the production of "Souvenirs".
10th full length "Disclosure" was released in September 2012.
