The Gathering - Disclosure



Disclosure, the new album by The Gathering has been released on their on their Bandcamp. The album starts out with two tracks of classy progressive tinged rock, then the songs become longer and more atmospheric, culminating in the nine-minute I Can See Four Miles which Adrien Begrand calls one of the most adventurous songs the band has done in a long time. My favorite is Gemeni I with its dramatic and slightly metallic chorus.



The download includes a pdf booklet with lyrics and liner notes, and a video of Heroes For Ghosts. An epic ballad with progressive touches (and trumpet!), that harkens back to classic The Gathering albums like if_then_else. Here is a review of Disclosure from Sputnikmusic.

The Gathering - The West Pole


The Gathering - The West Pole from 2009 was a return to playing guitar driven music again, it was also the first album with new vocalist Silje Wergeland. Not metal, but all in all a solid album with post-rockish guitars, outstanding bass playing and some nice and warm melodies. Read the reviews from Sputnikmusik and check it out.
