From doom and gothic metal (early years) to triprock with electronic elements and soundscapes; The Gathering's unique sound has always been hard to pigeonhole. The band has seen various line-up changes over the years and has evolved into an eclectic atmospheric rock band.
The Gathering was formed in 1989 in Oss, The Netherlands, by brothers René Rutten (guitars) & Hans Rutten (drums) together with Bart Smits (vocals). They were soon joined by Hugo Prinsen Geerligs (bass), Jelmer Wiersma (guitars) and Frank Boeijen (keyboards). Their debut album, Always (1992), also featured Marike Groot on vocals. In 2008 current singer Silje Wergeland joined the band after the previous singer, Anneke van Giersbergen, pursued a solo career.
The Gathering have released 11 studio albums and several EP's and live albums to date.
'Beautiful Distortion' (April 2022) is their latest album.
Silje Wergeland, René Rutten, Hans Rutten, Frank Boeijen & Hugo Prinsen Geerligs.

I see your empty gaze The colour of your face I`ve never seen before You're fighting your last war You'll leave us here a while And turn to life and smile The black holes in your eyes They fade away and die Feels like you dim the light And drift into the night Oh how I wish I dreamed And could let off this steam You will provide That blood runs through my veins I'm by your side Until the clouds take over Holding on to your hands as I feel they get colder We're lost in time I watch your fading smile I'm by your side Until the clouds take over Holding on to your hands as I feel they get colder I'll stay alive Here by your side I'll stay alive The emptiness I fear Consuming, everywhere I stare into the sky Where black is magnified Infused with all you gave me Your halo's here with me My hope has been denied Your freedom has arrived Our dreams evaporate Need to consolidate If I had one more wish You'd turn to life and smile You will provide That blood runs through my veins I'm by your side Until the clouds take over Holding on to your hands as I feel they get colder I'll stay alive Here by your side We're lost in time I watch your fading smile I'm by your side Until the clouds take over Holding on to your hands as I feel they get colder I'll stay alive Here by your side I'll stay alive

What a majestic song… 2024, 38 years and this is pure magic. 🪄
Soy fan de el antiguo The Gathering pero siento que esta es la mejor canción de la banda
God where have I been for the last 2 years. The Gathering have returned to the peak of their powers & this song needs to be added to the latest album of Beautiful Distortion but this song for me is the peak with its Middle Eastern haunting refrain & bubbling electronics. A wonderful sonic gift & a million stars
God its good to hear The Gathering have reunited & with Hugo back playing bass its almost the Dream team 4 of 5, excellent song & great clip, Kudos ;-)

@@Er1gorn yes..exactly.. Ruth B and Loool
@@Elow2022 Dude no worries
My comfort song
I just cant stop listening and slowing headbang. Addicted by the mesmerising atmosphere and the never coming climax of We Rise and Black is Magnified. Cant live without this.
💎 Wine, Sex, The Gat... ALL MY LIVE HISTORY, MADE IN 1978 AND COUNTING..., The more years go by, the more the darkness shows the light. ARGENTINA SAVE! .- 💎
Boa noite melho banda do mundo
2024 and still coming here to hear this song all over again
The good music is timeless.
This music is the marvelous nectar of the gods!
I will not give you what you think that you earn from me I will not make the same mistakes you always made I tried to show you that I cared although you always failed I was too young to have known better - better than you
This song is so beautiful ❤
Awesome video. Allucinating song. A piece of art , the shadows of nature, dark colors, sun light ...it's very nice.
being no Anneke, still a great effort
Shades of “Fernando”
This is a masterpiece. Love it.
I want tabs for this. Please.
Amo esta canción...me recuerda a mí ex con quién tuvimos una historia de amor hermosa que terminó...pero la viví...de la cuál nacieron dos hermosos hijos.
Thank you for your experience!

Absolutely beautiful.
Silje is a great singer, I've been her fan since the Octavia Sperati days, seen her live a coupla times and knew she'd be huge soon. I'm happy for her. The Gathering is a happy case of a band that's kept on evolving musically without being massacred by their fans over the years. Not so many metal bands can say the same. Paradise Lost were nearly killed off by their electronic album Host back in the day, and other bands disappeared. But these dutch guys know how to do it!
Love this... instant sub and bell. Hugz from México.
Have been a fan for quite while... so funny that I just subbed..
I mean like 15 yrs.
Not counting Anneke.
Bravo. That was brilliant.
This song is a masterpiece.
Hoy, hace 11 años ya, se lanzó Disclosure...y esta canción y este video me hicieron llorar y recordar demasiadas cosas. Son mi vida The Gathering. Les amo
This is so lovely.
Really great song!
Damn, I miss Anneke.
Es realmente bello su trabajo 😮❤
California maybe in 5he future? Please
❤
Vaaaamooossss
distortion never hit me, but this... this is something else. Life changing material!
Glorious music.
If The Gathering arent doing doom metal, this is what I want to hear! Next album to sound more like this?
🌹
Absolutely the best band I've ever heard. It's been over 20 years and still running!
мой самый любимый альбом
Damn, they did it again... 😢 Remembered my Grand ma in her last moments. She now walks with me, in every step, at the same time.
That smell of Massive Attack. After all years - Incredible.
