The Gathering
Last updated: 2 hours ago
Our latest album 'Beautiful Distortion' (and EP 'Interference') is available at our webshop (webshopgathering.com).
From doom and gothic metal (early years) to triprock with electronic elements and soundscapes; The Gathering's unique sound has always been hard to pigeonhole. The band has seen various line-up changes over the years and has evolved into an eclectic atmospheric rock band.
The Gathering was formed in 1989 in Oss (NL) by brothers René Rutten (guitars) & Hans Rutten (drums), together with Bart Smits (vocals). They were soon joined by Hugo Prinsen Geerligs (bass), Jelmer Wiersma (guitars) and Frank Boeijen (keyboards). Their debut album, Always (1992), also featured Marike Groot on vocals.
In 2008 current singer Silje Wergeland joined the band after the previous singer, Anneke van Giersbergen, pursued a solo career. The Gathering have released 11 studio albums and several EPs and live albums to date, with worldwide sales. No album is similar to the previous one. Some of their most successful songs include Strange Machines (Mandylion), Travel (How To Measure A Planet), You learn about it (Souvenirs) and Heroes for Ghosts (Disclosure). The band toured Europe and the Americas multiple times.
Since 1999 The Gathering run their own label: Psychonaut Records.
The Gathering are: Silje Wergeland (vocals), René Rutten (guitars), Hans Rutten (drums), Frank Boeijen (keyboards) & Hugo Prinsen Geerligs (bass).
