We are currently recording our new album, and as you probably know we are also rehearsing with the old ‘Always…’ line up because of our benefit gig with Acrostichon and Pentacle 1st of april.
As we have a lot of fun together we decided to play a couple of festivals this summer, with the old ‘Always…’ line up, starting with Dokk’em Open Air. More news asap.

Have a terrific 2012!! Cheers!!

The Gathering old ‘Always’ line up live!

Dear all!

Some exciting news! After years we (The Gathering) came in contact again, thanks to Facebook, with the nice people from Acrostichon (Corinne and Richard). Of course we talked a lot about the good old days, especially the ones we had at the Willem II concert hall in Den Bosch. There was a matinee gig every month (I think it was every last Sunday), and we saw some great bands such as Candlemass, Morbid Angel, Death, and of course we played there as well. Those days were so much fun. We had a great nostalgic trip talking about those days.

Soon we came to the conclusion we would love to do this again! As you might know our debut album ‘Always…’ is almost 20 years old (april 1992). I contacted all old school Gathering ‘Always…’ era members and everybody immediately liked the idea to do omething together. An old school Doom/Death party! Acrostichon released their debut album ‘Engraved in Black’ almost the same period, and our friends from Pentacle released their debut demo “Caressed by Both Sides” as well 20 years ago. Why not celebrate this?

So, grab your agenda: The Gathering, Acrostichon and Pentacle will play live together at the Willem II (now called W2) Sunday afternoon 1st of april (no joke!) 2012! Like 20 years ago, Acrostichon will be headlining, The Gathering and Pentacle will be support acts.
Last but definitely not least: All profit will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Hope you are all fine and well! We are back from this rollercoaster called The South American Ghost Ride Tour. It was great. Thank you all for coming! As you probably know we had our problems with volcanoes, flights overbooked and cancellations, but the warm welcome in every country was overwhelming! Thanks!

We get a lot of mail from people who want to know when the new album will be out. Unfortunatly this will not happen this year. We’re still writing and recording, and trying not to finish things in a hurry. For sure the album will be out in 2012! Maybe we will release another free download, like we did with Heroes For Ghost. You can also enjoy the magnificent video Marcus Moonen made right here. We will keep you informed.

Something else: we have another festival date for you! TG will play at the Baroeg Open Air festival the 24th of september in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. More info here. It’s a free festival, so you can spend all your money drinking beer (or cola). We heard that lots of Dutch Almanaks say the weather will be splendid in september (a real indian summer), so no excuses.  It will also be the last TG gig this year (though you never know what happens). We hope to see you all there (and/or of course in Helmond or Amersfoort, which we will rock a week earlier).

Cheers! TG

Due to the Chilean vulcano eruption which is still going on we are stuck in Buenos Aires. There are no flights going to Porto Alegre, so we are not able to play the concert tonight. We feel very bad about it, but there’s unfortunately nothing we can do about this. We do hope we can fly to Sao Paolo tomorrow. We will keep you informed of course, and again, we feel extremely sad about this.

Best regards, TG.
