From the band's website:

"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."

This is sad news indeed. I personally always thought Anneke and The Gathering were a perfect fit. Her voice was complemented beautifully by the minimalist music that the group produced. I'm going to miss her. :(

^^^^This.


They had some metal-ish moments, but they really have done everything from pop to crappy electronica to rock to metal-ish stuff. Not really a metal band. I would say experimental.


And they really aren't that good anyway.

Well to your dismay she started her own band just in spite of you.


I forgot why you are so against female vocals, but whatever.

She was the band to me.

I just saw her on the "hottest women in metal" tour. She did well, the band was good, great songwriting.
