Anneke is leaving The Gathering ...


I found out today regrettable news for
all of you fans (I include myself) the Dutch
band The Gathering. Anneke Van Giersbergen,
the lead-singer is leaving the band.
She said she wants to give new direction
to her life and search for different and
new horizons in personal and musical aspects.
On the band`s official web site, they tell us
that Anneke will be with the band till
August 2007, continuing with the commitments
they have.
But after that, she will continue on her own
way in the musical world with her new band
“Agua de anique” and The Gathering will go on
With differents masculine and feminine voices.
However, for those who knew The Gathering
when she was still part of the band,
you`ll know that she left us an amazing legacy...
you only have to listen “Mandylion”, “Nigth time birds”
or “If then else” and remember the complement
they were together. Even though they are
losing the vocalist, The Gathering will continue
working and they will release a new album
by 2008. They`ll also release their next DVD,
“A Noise Severe”, which will be the last visual
recording with the now ex-vocalist “Anneke”.
