A historic live performance reborn on vinyl – raw energy, soaring emotion, and pure 1990s magic. With their bold blend of doom metal roots, atmospheric rock, and ethereal vocals, THE GATHERING were already reshaping heavy music in the mid-90s.

 

But few recordings capture that electric live energy better than their iconic set at Dynamo Open Air, and now, for the very first time, this legendary moment finally arrives and it’s everything fans could hope for.

 

Expertly released by 7 Mater / Sevan Mater, this deluxe edition is limited to 500 copies each on Black and Purple vinyl, with a custom cover artwork designed by Sevan Mater that honors the spirit of the era while bringing new visual depth. It’s not just a reissue – it’s a resurrection. Recorded during a time when the band was ascending into cult status, the Dynamo performance showcases the perfect fusion of Anneke van Giersbergen’s soaring vocals with the band’s dynamic instrumental interplay.

 

Songs like “Eleanor”, and “Leaves” ring out with clarity and emotion, capturing both the power and subtlety that defined their live presence.
