"We want to record with Silje [Wergeland, THE GATHERING's Norwegian singer], of course. It's difficult to travel right now. It's the idea that she's coming to Holland to record vocals, but it's difficult because of the virus. So we're looking for maybe other possibilities."



Call Anneke you fucking idioooots!!

ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THIS!!!!!



"We have quite a lot of material. And we decided to work with Attie Bauw — he's the producer of the new album. And he also worked on 'Home' [2006] and 'How To Measure A Planet?' [1998]. We know Attie quite well — he's a friend of ours. With this material, we really [thought] that it would be good to have a producer, to not do everything on our own, but this time to use the magic of Attie.

Also, RE Afterwords:



"He said: "We don't see 'Afterwords' as the last studio album. We all see 'Disclosure' [2012] as our last studio album, and 'Afterwords' was more or less a 'Disclosure' after-party. Frank [Boeijen, keyboards] and René [Rutten, guitar] really wanted to do some extra things — to make remixes. We had some sounds going on and some ideas, so we devoped into a sort of — it's a mini album, maybe, but it's a long album. But that said, we don't see it as a full-length album of THE GATHERING, more as sort of an EP kind of thing."



Perhaps it's time to move that atrocity from their LPs to EPs/Compilations? It doesn't fit there, I've always felt this anyway, regardless of what the band thinks, but they agree apparently!

As much as I love Anneke I kinda agree with that. Silje's performance on Disclosure was incredible.

You guys have probably checked it already, but if not, give Habitants - One Self a listen. It's by Rene's other band.
