THE GATHERING: Oss Fan-Filmed Video Footage - Jan. 23, 2013
Fan-filmed video footage of Dutch/Norwegian rockers THE GATHERING performing on January 19 at Groene Engel in Oss, The Netherlands can be seen below.

THE GATHERING is working on the CD version of "Afterlights", a collection of reworked versions of tracks from the band's latest album, "Disclosure", which came out last September. The group states: "The songs are inspired by 'Disclosure' songs but totally rebuilt/remade. It's like listening to a new album. People who have the 'Afterlights' 10" vinyl [which came out last year] know what [we] mean."

"Disclosure" was released on September 12, 2012 via the band's own Psychonaut Records. The CD cover artwork was created by the Chilean artist Carlos Vergara Rivera.

THE GATHERING's previous album, "The West Pole", was released in North America on June 2, 2009 via Season of Mist. The CD was issued in most of Europe on May 4, 2009 via the group's own label, Psychonaut Records.

"The West Pole" marked the recording debut of new THE GATHERING singer Silje Wergeland, who was previously in the Norwegian band OCTAVIA SPERATI.

In a recent interview with Decibel magazine, Wergeland stated that "Disclosure" is "fresher, braver, more confident, honest, deeper [and] newer" than "The West Pole".

Regarding THE GATHERING's decision to release the "Heroes For Ghosts" single so far ahead of the full-length album, Silje said, "We decided to not do it for any other reason than release it because we wanted to! The song is way too long for a 'normal' single, but that didn't matter. We never released it to try to get it on radio or on TV. We know their limits of about three minutes to get airplay, and knew we'll never get there anyways. It was only marketed through our Facebook, Twitter and webpage, so very low key. THE GATHERING has its own label [Psychonaut], but we are not very business-focused. It is still all about the music and art. We were just so happy with it and wanted to share it with the world."

Would be awesome if The Gathering released a full-on shoegazing rock album. I mean, they've been already halfway there for ages. All they have to do is soak the vocals completely in reverb and perhaps eat a few 'shrooms. Come on, I got into Slowdive because of you lot, and a tour with MBV would be abso-fuckin-phenomenal!

The Gathering is easily one of my favorite bands. I was floored when I first heard "Mandylion" back in 1995. The evolution of their sound over the years has been truly amazing. I was bummed by the departure of Anneke Van Giersbergen, and even though I loved Ocatavia Sperati, I wasn't sure if Silje would cut it. Their first album with Silje, "The West Pole" was slightly disappointing, so I wasn't sure if they still had it in them without Anneke. "Disclosure" put me in my place. It's truly an amazing album. Amazing band.
