The Gathering is a Dutch alternative rock band founded in 1989. They started off as an atmospheric death/doom metal group, drawing inspiration from underground acts like Celtic Frost and Hellhammer. In 1994, the addition of vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen marked a shift in their musical style. Influenced by shoegaze, post rock, experimental rock, and bands from the ethereal sounds of 4AD label such as Dead Can Dance and Cocteau Twins, as well as Pink Floyd and Massive Attack, The Gathering expanded their sound to include elements of progressive, alternative, and trip rock. They gained recognition beyond Europe and continue to experiment with their music.

In 2007, Anneke van Giersbergen left the band to focus on her solo project Agua de Annique. Silje Wergeland (ex-Octavia Sperati) became the replacement vocalist for The Gathering in March 2009. Their album "Afterwords" was released on October 25th, 2013.

Aside from their discography, The Gathering has also collaborated on notable projects. In 2005, they provided music for the educational project "Passengers In Time: The Musical History" by professor Wim Kratsborn. Although not considered an official release by the band themselves, four members of The Gathering contributed to [m=458449].

THE EIGHTH STUDIO ALBUM OF PROGRESSIVE EXPERIMENTAL ROCK FROM THE DUTCH LEGENDS 'Home' is the eighth studio album by Dutch band The Gathering & was originally released on 15th April 2006 by Sanctuary Records through its heavy metal label, Noise. 'Home' was also the last album to feature lead singer and lyricist Anneke van Giersbergen. The release was produced, mixed and engineered by Attie Bauw, who was also at the helm during the 'How to Measure a Planet?' recordings, and was recorded in a little church in Maurik, the Netherlands. Drummer Hans Rutten described 'Home' as being "more stripped-down and primitive, more concentrated on song structures". The album includes a concept based about the daily routine of the life & is considered The Gathering's most dark and emotional work to date. The Gathering was founded in 1989 by brothers Hans and Ren? Rutten and vocalist Bart Smits. The early incarnation of the band featured a much more death and doom metal-based style than the more atmospheric rock and experimental music they became known for over the years, having enjoyed a highly successful career globally over a 20-year period. The band recorded 2 demos initially before making their studio debut with 'Always?'. This mid-price CD edition of 'Home' is presented in a jewel case with an 8-page booklet.
