The Gathering

Are you looking for hypnosis? Even this can be found on the Holy Ground, delivered by The Gathering. They started as a Doom and Death Metal act but eventually shifted their focus to atmospheric and progressive Rock, especially through Anneke van Giersbergen. Her heartfelt vocals left a lasting mark on the band’s style. They are considered a pioneering band in their genre and one of the first to prominently integrate female vocals into Metal. To continue celebrating the 30th anniversary of Mandylion, the original line-up of The Gathering featuring Anneke van Giersbergen will perform an exclusive show in Germany at Wacken Open Air 2026!
