2-CD deluxs reissue of the band's third full-length album containing rare B-side tracks, never-before-heard demo recordings and much more. For fans of Lacuna Coil, Evanescene, Garbage.

The idea of atmospheric symphonic prog-metal seems to breed a lot of watered-down prog "metal" bands whose music is prog without the complexity and metal without the power. There are a few bands, though, that get it right, and The Gathering is one of them, at least on this release (their third but first with vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen), which is usually regarded as their masterpiece. The musicians here combine crunching yet fluid guitar work with lots of spacy keyboards and powerful vocals. The group's selling point, of course, is van Giersbergen's voice, which is clear, assertive, and a far cry from your typical screeching metal vocalists. - Brandon - www.progreviews.com
