The Gathering disbanded at the end of 1988.
Inspired by the resurgence of the Post Punk, NewWave and 80’s music movement, The Gathering reformed in late 2017. In the spring of 2018, the band enlisted producer and composer Jason Corbett, of ACTORS, to ReTransmit the original Let It Shine EP. The ReTransmission EP was released in June of 2018. In April of the following year, The Gathering signed a deal with Germany based label Cold Transmission. Cold Transmission
released the Jason Corbett produced Love Songs EP June, 2019 and the Night Light EP October, 2020. The EP’s have garnered plenty of airplay and made numerous playlists especially in Germany and other parts of Europe where the Post Punk revival movement is thriving. January, 2022 sees the release of Parade, a collection of the bands two Ep's and two new Jason Corbett produced tracks. Since reforming the band has opened for: The Alarm, Chameleons Vox, Spear Of Destiny, Gene Loves Jezebel, Theatre of Hate and Canadian legends Platinum Blonde and The Grapes Of Wrath.
