After a successful release of the EP Black Light District in 2002, Holland’s premier rock band THE GATHERING are now releasing their most precious Souvenirs. Again THE GATHERING rock, groove and take you on a exciting journey through highly impressive emotional music, in which Anneke van Giersbergen reflects on her mental “souvenirs” of real life experience. Souvenirs breathes a fascinating modern dark sound in which a perfect musical balance between organic and electronic sounds go hand in hand with more psychedelic film music. Together with producer Zlaya Hadzich the band streamlined a mere 50 minutes of music and is joined by Trickster G , who sings the song ‘A Life All Mine’ together with Anneke. With the release of How To Measure A Planet? <1998>, THE GATHERING invented the term “triprock” to escape the pigeonhole community and with Souvenirs again they prove to be pioneers in bending modern sounds into beautiful, experimental and emotional music.
