The tenth studio full-length from Dutch atmospheric rock
icons THE GATHERING, entitled Disclosure, is
nearing release, with a confirmed North American street date of September 25th
via Psychonaut Records.
Now in their twenty-third year as a band, and having sold
over a million records worldwide to date, this next step in the band’s process
was produced by founding member René Rutten, mainly taking place in the THE
GATHERING’s own home studio, with segments recorded at additional studios
abroad, the final product then mixed by Guido Aalbers (Coldplay, Muse, Counting
Crows, 16 Horsepower). This is the worldwide renowned outfit’s second album
with Norwegian vocalist Silje Wergeland -- who debuted her talents on their The
West Pole LP released in 2009 – her sensual vocals for the new album
recorded by Herbrand Larsen of Enslaved. The handcrafted cover art was created
by Chilean artist Carlos Vergara Rivera.
“Disclosure is the most personal soundscape the
band has ever made, both lyrically and musically,” stated THE GATHERING keyboardist
Frank Boeijen, who presents himself vocally for the first time on Disclosure.
“The album is a great marriage between electronic and organic sounds, and has a
wide range of colorful songs. With long, epic songs, we stayed close to
ourselves. We are incredibly proud of this album which is a reflection of what
we do best, and our urge for experimentation. Every band says the same thing
about their new album, but we think we’ve made our best album yet.”

For Ghosts” and more AT THIS LOCATION and stream the entire album via THE GATHERING’s
