Description
The Gathering - Katowice
First time in a single vinyl edition! A breathtaking live moment finally pressed in wax - intimate, ethereal, and long overdue. For decades, fans of THE GATHERING have cherished the band's dynamic evolution - from doom-tinged gothic metal to ethereal rock explorations - but few live recordings capture that transformation as poignantly as Katowice.
Originally recorded in Poland in 2003 and previously only available as part of the Sleepy Buildings sessions, this stunning performance finally receives the vinyl treatment it so richly deserves - and it's magnificent.
7 Mater / Sevan Mater delivers a deluxe edition that's both elegant and essential, designing the new cover design of the album. Pressed in two limited runs of 500 copies (Black and Marbled Red vinyl), housed in a gorgeous sleeve, this reissue is a testament to timeless beauty in sound.
From the haunting melodies of "Adrenaline" to the atmospheric sweep of "Sand & Mercury", and the slow-burning emotional power of "The May Song", this album is a masterclass in restraint, atmosphere, and vocal grace. Anneke van Giersbergen's performance is, as ever, spellbinding - delicate yet powerful, understated yet unforgettable.
