THE GATHERING
http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewgathering.html
Progression is inevitable. As we get older we progress and change as a
result of our experiences, our thoughts, and our goals. Much is the
same
with the music of the Gathering. Starting out as a unique death metal
act,
change and progression was a major part of each successive album. From
the
addition of the talented Anneke to the slow transformation into their
patented "trip rock" sound, one couldn't tell the albums 'Always' and
'Souvenirs' were written by the same creative forces. Metal Update had
a
chat with vocalist Anneke about their own record label, their new
bassist,
and their ever changing sound.
