Started in Netherlands in 1989 as one of the earliest European doom death metal acts and lead by the brothers René and Hans Rutten, The Gathering wrote history when releasing some keystones during the 90’s. The addition of Anneke Van Giersbergen as main vocalist for the album Mandilyon (1995) was just the beginning of a prolific and renowned career for both band and frontwoman.
