The Gathering - New Album In April
Drummer Hans Rutten of the Dutch metal/rock band The Gathering has issued the following update:
"The waiting is over. Well... almost!
We are very happy and proud to announce the release of our 9th studio album in April 2009! The album will be called "The West Pole". You probably are curious who is singing on our new record. We have found a new [female] vocalist, and we will have two [also female] guest singers on "The West Pole".
We can imagine people are anxious to hear some of our new music. However, we will not make it to put new songs online this year. The reason is that some of our [many] guest musicians still need to be recorded and we prefer to present only complete version of the songs. As soon as we have mixed and mastered the album we will put some tracks on the web and of course you will be informed with all possible details. We believe, after hearing the new songs, you will agree the waiting was worthwhile!
We are very, very proud and we feel we made something really special. The album is produced by René Rutten, it will contain 9 tracks and will be released on our own imprint Psychonaut Records. It will be a very extravert, rock orientated, alive album. Typically The Gathering, but with many new elements. This time it's absolutely guitar driven. For sure.
"The West Pole" will be available via our own webshop one month before the actual release date. Like our DVD "A Noise Severe" we will make special packages. More news will follow soon."

Written by Ernis on 22.12.2008 at 13:13 Though I doubt the new singer will be as good as Anneke... And that "rock orientated" and "totally guitar driven" doesnt sound so gathering to me  But anyway Im looking forward to this album, thats for sure.

Quote: That's interesting and very welcome because I was hoping they would surprise me somehow. I don't want this album to sound like their recent material because Agua de Annique is close enough to their best days so far. Best case scenario: with the West Pole the Gathering will be a completely different and new band and still be awesome. Worst case scenario: the album will sound like a parody of something we've already heard. I want more news already

Written by Holy_Diver on 22.12.2008 at 19:12 Maybe because they want more people to get excited about the album. If they published her then people will look her up and if she's bad they won't buy the album. And how long you have to wait is just 3-4 months to get the album. hope you enjoy the album when you get it.

I am anxious to hear this as well. Gosh, I love Anneke to death, but I'm sure the rest of The Gathering still have it going and they found someone capable enough, to fit their music. As a devoted Anneke and The Gathering fan I hope the new singer won't sound similar to Anneke, I wanna hear something fresh and new and different Can't wait to hear The West Pole

Written by Ernis on 02.01.2009 at 19:29 If they want a pick-up of their doom death roots they should stay well clear of Angela Gossow, cause she will ruin it. I would say... go with Corinne van den Brand (ex-Acrostichon) instead then, they still know her from the Always ear when they did some gigs together. But I am AFRAID no such thing will happen and that The Gathering will drift off even further into crap land and now probably Coldplay land aaarrrrggghhhh
