The Gathering news

12-05-2008

Dear all,

Sorry it has been a while since you've heard from us. We apologize for this. It actually means that we have been really busy with the band. During the last couple of months we created a lot of new ideas that lead to the first songs of our upcoming CD. Yes, we are working on a new album! Or actually, two new albums! Many of our new songs are very rock and guitar orientated and will end up on a heavy rock album for sure. The second album will be filled with more 'shoe gaze', dreamy tracks.
We can imagine if you are very curious about new vocalists. Currently, we are working with several. It feels very refreshing and interesting to work with different voices and it adds beautiful new colours to our music. Names will be presented as soon as our ideas become more concrete.
As promised you will hear new material by the end of this year. The release of our new album is planned for Spring 2009.

On behalf of the band
Hans Rutten

tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! woooohoo!! I'm soooo curious...hopefully there will be some previews within some time!
And of course a pre-listening party for all the fans that went to Ankkarock..haha!
(though it's a good idea: previewing the fans who heard the last gig all the new stuff first :-) )


good luck and be well!!!

Indeed great news, heavy rock & shoegazer both sounds more than interesting, just a little skeptic 'cause I've been fooled twice, or more than that before :lol: expecting something REAL guitar oriented just to find out something else.
Anyways. I was sure you will work with various singers, (total support on that choice ;) guys & girl. I know it will still sound to The Gathering but in a new vein, love it or hate it.

This is fantastic news. I'm very curious as to which singers are being used and moreso how the use of multiple vocalists will work out at live-performances. Spring 2009 you say? Just in time so everybody can get ready for the festival season! Oh yeah! :D
