Once more, The Gathering is out of the ordinary with its “home” new album. The dutch musicians don’t stop innovating. Each Lp has its own style and that’s the way we can see the band evolving to a growing maturity.
It’s quite difficult to describe the album with all these different atmospheres. The recording was mastered in an old church. Nevertheless, Home is very dark in spite of its lively and clear tracks. So The Gathering brings a new sounding which is a mixing of electronic, rock, gothic... about the guitars returning, as the band announced it, they are used with some more thoughtful and original strategy, in symbiosis with the atmosphere. The Gathering really carries us in their intimate and personal circle.
The songs are very complex, we just found there several sounding which build all the “Home “ atmosphere. Our favourite song is “Alone”, that we could already listened in A Sound Relief DVD, with a different version. This song is quite trippy. Whereas “Waking hour” makes us dream , the chaos reign in “Solace” , with the presence of five speaking languages.the very quiet “Forgotten”, sung on piano and voices (or a capella? ) let us have a break. To get into the album is pretty aerial, with weird flown guitars, on “Shortest Day” song.
In most of the songs, we notice that special rythm that carries us away. Anneke’s singing is simple, sweet and tactful.
and the melodies are pleasant. She managed to bring some emotionnal tunes. This album is a kind of mixing between How To Measure a Planet atmospheres and Souvenirs electronics. Home is a success which won’t disappoint The Gathering fans.
