Description:

â? 30th Anniversary Edition des legendÃ¤ren DebÃ¼t-Albums hollÃ¤ndischen 'Pionier'-Metalband. Das Original von 1992 vermischte Doom mit Death Metal mit markanten 'atmosphÃ¤rischen' Keyboard-Parts und 'engelsgleichem' Frauengesang (im Kontrast zu aggressivem mÃ¤nnlichem Growling). The Gathering begrÃ¼ndeten eine neue (progressive) Gothic-/Female-Fronted-Metal-Szene, mit Bands wie Within Temptation, After Forever, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, u.v.a.! FÃ¼r diesen Release wurden die Original Album-Tracks von Guido Aalbers und der Band von den originalen Studiotapes neu abgemischt. FÃ¼r das Remastering zeichnet Maor Applebaum (YES, Faith No More, Guns 'N Roses) verantwortlich. Zur Abrundung gibt es noch ein Ã¼berarbeitetes Frontcover welches das Original als GemÃ¤lde von Richard Schouten (Acrostichon, Wolves In The Throne Room, Acid King, Master) zeigt. â?¢ Die 2LP kommt als audiophiles Doppel-Vinyl, geschnitten auf 45rpm und beinhaltet (analog zum CD Format) das Original Album in der Remastered Audio-Version â?¢ Das 4LP-Box Set enthÃ¤lt zusÃ¤tzlich auf LP3 den Original Mix/Master als 33rpm Cut sowie LP4 mit dem previously unreleased Celtic Frost-Cover â??Dethroned Emperorâ?+ 3 Tracks aus den 1991-Beaufort Studios-Sessions: "In Sickness And Health", "Always..." und "Gaya's Dream" und die 2 Songs "The Mirror Waters" und "King For A Day" aus dem "TG25: Live At Doornroosje" Live-Album von 2015 -

Originally released on June 9th 1992, Always... by The Gathering is one of the rare albums in metal that turned out to be a game-changer. On the debut album, the young Dutch band blended doom and death metal with prominent keyboard parts. It featured female vocals in an era when the metal scene was still a male-dominated environment. The album showcased how heavy sounds could be enriched by diverse musical influences. Consequently, Always... laid the foundation for subgenres like gothic metal, often referred to as female-fronted metal or what is now recognized as progressive metal - a term commonly used today. The Gathering were true pioneers, opening doors not only for themselves but also for other Dutch bands such as Within Temptation, After Forever, Epica, Kingfisher Sky, Nemesea, and Delain.
