THE GATHERING

Release Year: 2000
Artist Origin: NED
Style: emotional atmospheric metal / trip rock

slightly overlooked, the sixth longplay by exceptional Dutch entity reveals their transition stage, leaving expressive atmospheric metal and entering a bit more loose and diverse yet as much emotional, dreamy and progressive trip rock areal, in order to grope that pure origin of creativity with much simplified, minimalist approach, including but not limited to electronic elements and ambient passages, letting the music flow on its own, once in a while adding a sharper form-shaping rhythm and live string instruments, topped and invigorated by immaculate, introspective, but vigorous voice of Anneke, sensually expanding the space along with transcendental gamma of keyboards; authentic German jewel case edition
