Anneke is a queen. No bullshit, she is the greatest.

[@novaestrella2571]

Anneke's voice and the instrumental parts create a sound with an undertone of melancholy, sadness, joy and a longing for something intangible from another, profound reality. What an epic song from The Gathering.

[@thommymidgard3810]

Anneke is priceless, one of a kind for 25+ years in my life

[@padywac1970]

2019.....I’m 49 years old....how in the hell did I make it this far and NOT know anything about this band? I feel like I’ve been missed something very important....this should’ve been played on the radio, instead of the crap that’s been fed to us for the last 40 years!

[@kl8455]

you and me both. just hit fiddy recently. radio still plays CRAP I hated 30 yrs ago.

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

Idk your country but the Gathering was well known in my country and they even play some songs on the radio, not top 40 hits shit but it was present like other "alternative" bands at that time, today i agree with you, radios sucks mayor ass in term of the music they play

[@julesgray810]

It's 2022 and I'm glad i finally found them.. was a huge Theatre of Tragedy fan since I was 12 yo, glad to find another slower doomier band w/ strong, clear, classically trained female vocals, Anneke expresses the spirit within music & voice as instrument. Wish I'd heard of them decades ago but I live under a rock!

[@adrianguth]

[@dhararahl2488]

@@somegirl558 Yea Their first album is "Always" Also i consider their best album is also "Always" As far as i remember it wasnt Anneke's influence. Anneke joined the band after second album. Bart smits left the band via musical differences while they were writing second album.

Oh boy you're in for a ride. The Gathering is something special and one of The Netherlands finest bands. Never put the same album out twice, very adventurous

[@wildmanfisher]

This song is from their fourth album, Nighttime Birds. Try that one and the third, Mandylion, for a test taste. Also, their first album is amazing if you like early nineties doom/death metal.

[@fuzzo73]

I'd like to take a moment and thank the universe, and Anneke's parents, for creating this woman and the gift she shares with the world. Her voice is intoxicating no matter what style she is singing.

One of the most beautiful solos ever, its talking back to her, like she wanted something bad but it couldn't happen unless she just let it go to the higher energy and as she lets go , the world starts going to work making it happen as her now stresses stop the natural flow of life and its constant ever giving to us, like the guitar slowly on its way to triumph the situation for her as she sleeps. All your hard work pays off, but u have to let go of going on automatic over stressing eventually or overworking because you did so much of it on your own,,,we must never forget the millions of things that we cant see that brings every second of life to us, every experience.

[@sonofthesea3298]

I keep coming back to this performance! Its just sooooo GOOD! Anneke brings vocals that has me thinking of a female version of Alice In Chains,and i just love the riffs that comes in on the harder parts of the song. And when it changes up,the keyboards,drums sends you back into a dream state of mind. 0:53 GOD,she reminds me soo much of Floor Jansen here!😍How they both tend to open up theyr eyes abit extra,be goofy or flirtacious towards the crowd. Showing that warm,genuine personality. She even has some of Floors dance moves😍Not that im comparing them,or "judging" 1 for copying the other. They are doing theyr own things,but i like the similarities! And im familiar with Floor idolizing Anneke as a front woman for a band,so its all good. Man,wish they did a duet like Anneke did with Within Temptation and Sharon den Adel.
