Anneke van Giersbergen abandona "The Gathering"
Sembla ser que la carismàtica vocalista ja en té prou i ara vol provar sort amb la seva pròpia banda. La cosa no deixa de tenir la seva gràcia si pensem que, des que va substituir el vocalista original fa ja molts anys, The Gathering havia anat convertint-se progressivament en una banda pel seu lluïment. Amb ella van passar de renovadors del doom metal a aprenents de bruixot del rock psicodèlic, i ho van fer sense perdre mai la seva base de públic. Certament han estat els consentits de l'escena.
I em fa llàstima parlar d'ells en passat però és que sospite que ni la resta de la banda són capaços de treure un nou Always, ni ella per separat capaç de contenir el seus deliris. Veurem què passa.

Uns dels últims moments plegats:
Dear all,
We are very sorry to announce the fact that Anneke has decided to leave the band in August 2007. Anneke has several reasons not to be a member anymore. We really regret the fact we could not find a way to continue together. However, we [the Gathering] will be working on new material with male & female vocalists. Expect a CD release somewhere in 2008.
With Anneke we've made great albums and did fantastic shows, which we are very proud of! We had a great time! We wish Anneke all the best for the future.
The remaining festivals we will play together with Anneke. No new gigs will be scheduled. The last gig with Anneke will be the Ankkarock Festival in Finland, the 4th of August. Also the new DVD "A Noise Severe" as well as the double live CD will still be released this summer.
Frank, Hans, Marjolein & René.
