2024 and I still love this band just like the first day you heard them in a distant 1995... The Gathering is the most beautiful magic that music can offer

[@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.

[@7.Stunde-Weisheitskunde]

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

[@khanrhy]

when I want to be infinitely happy and sad at the same time, I listen to Anneke's haunting voice.

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]

late wellcome xD

[@needfoolthings]

I hope you're also aware of The 3rd & the Mortal.

[@peterdefrankrijker]

It’s because Anneke is so spectacular that it’s easy to forget how brilliant the rest of the band is. René Rutten is a magnificent guitar player and songwriter.

[@JoaoLuiz-yo7nh]

Todo dia eu me deixo envolver por essa melodia

[@somegirl558]

Yeah, but she alteranted their whole style... They were death metal or something really heavy as far as I remember. "A king for a day" for example - had it on a tape too. Cassette*

[@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.

[@Alpen_Zausel]

Thats a fact, absolutely, thanx so much for your words - greetings from Bavarian Mountains 🤘🤘🎸🎸

[@simonrichmond4935]

Until I found this video I had never heard of this band. The singing is absolutely awesome, with outstanding music. The whole song blew me away.

[@wildmanfisher]

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.

[@CarlosGarcia-vw1zl]

One of the greatest bands ever. One of the most talented and beautiful women in history. Adoro a The Gathering y a Anneke desde mi adolescencia, son parte de mi vida, los amo. Espero vuelvan a México pronto.

Anneke was insane at her time. Especially considering the other big female-fronted names didn't even exist back then. She was the hero nobody asked for but the entire world of metal needed. She and her music with The Gahthering will forever remain in my heart.

[@zebulonswearingen9935]

I also like the strange sounding keyboard. It adds an interesting sound effect blending with bass/guitar. I like he guitar sounds both clean and distorted. Man, there was some good bands in the ‘90’s but I missed this one. Oh well, I heard them now and I am glad I did, thanks for the vid.

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.
