about 5 or 6 years ago, my first contact with this band was 'Always' album... I really liked it, it was heavy, strong, but at the same time very melodic... having an excellent combination of voices...
a couple of years ago I got Mandylion album, it was different, but keeping the metalic influence... it was good for my ears too...
nowadays, looking for material of, what i thought it was a "great" band, i found myself with this "thing"...
sorry for the fans, but what is this crap?
there's nothing to do with original Gathering musical concept, this is the most gay music i've ever listen!
I mean, if you guys wanted to make that kind of music, no problem, but,
WHY DIDN'T YOU CHANGE THE BAND'S NAME? This is not "The Gathering"... I don't know what it is!
I'm not trying to make a fight about this, but I would like to know WHY did you continue using this name if the original concept is now completely
DEAD. I mean it is not a simply "evolution" of music... this is something completely different from your beginings...
where is your metalic heart rutten bros?
i salute you
no seriously, i can understand why die hard metal fans doesn't like the change that's seen in tg's music over the past years. but why should they change their name just because the music changes? it's still them you know. nothing to do with the original gathering music concept, you're right, but people change too. it would've been odd if the band members still had the exact same views on things now as they did many years ago. we develop and we change, that's what life is all about. and you can stick to the albums you like and don't need to bother about the rest of the cd's if they upset you this much
