	PopMatters \| Columns \| Adrien Begrand \| Blood and Thunder \| Sweet Relief
		Never had heavy metal audiences encountered a singer with the range of van Giersbergen, and her astonishing, highly evocative voice added a new dimension to the band's sound, becoming the focal point of the sensational one-two punch of the 1995 breakthrough Mandylion and the 1997 masterpiece Nighttime Birds.
		Van Giersbergen's mesmerizing voice is in full force on early live performances of Mandylion nuggets "In Motion #1" and "Leaves" and the band displays brute force in a live setting, making for an enthralling contrast.
		To see van Giersbergen smile so much within the context of such introspective and moody music makes her performance all the more beguiling (Thom Yorke could learn a lesson or two from the lady), quickly making up for the fact that she remains a rather reserved lead singer onstage.

	Review of The Gathering's new CD - Heavy Metal / Hard Rock
		The Dutch band added vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen in 1994 and the results were immediate.
		Anneke sounds awesome on this track with her voice soaring all over the track.
		The spotlight is squarely on Anneke for “Waking Hour” one of the many highlights of the record.

	The Gathering - Biography - AOL Music
		The album also featured occasional vocals by Martine van Loon, a low-key singer with a pretty tone but one that seldom took to the forefront of a composition.
		It would appear that the seed had been planted in the band's head to try their uniquely compelling songwriting style with a passionate female vocalist; the result was the addition of the incomparable Anneke van Giersbergen, an incredible singer capable of stretching miles of emotion out of each and every syllable.
		van Giersbergen's poetic and haunting lyrics, paired with the band's orchestral ruminations, resulted in darkly important songs that seamlessly blend from one to the next.

		Although van Giersbergen has matured greatly as a vocalist since this album, her performance remains completely stunning.
		I could rave about Anneke van Giersbergen for quite a while, but that would be an injustice to the rest of the band, who write as a collective so they all deserve ample credit.
		The difference that sets Anneke out from the rest of the femme vox currently singing with some outfits is the fact that she is the lead singer, her vocals dominating throughout.

		The faint sounds of the delighted audience mix with eerie synths and Anneke's voice, which is equally soothing and powerful.

		Anneke: No! That is one of the most difficult things there is. Basically the day the album is going to be pressed is the moment we come up with a title ;-).
		Anneke: Yes, even though it is a tremendous amount of work and quite a responsibility.
		Anneke: Well you have a point there, but as it turns out "our" kind of music is not sold a lot around that time, it's more the "Best of" albums that are popular then.

		Anneke’s voice is given abundant space to breathe, with spectacular results.
		Honestly, her voice over samples of clattering dishes and ringing cell phones is enough for a beautiful song.
		Simple, looped piano passages or dreamy clean guitar melodies are all van Giersbergen needs to launch her gripping vocal hooks and deeply personal lyrics.

	The Gathering
		There’s something about the emotional intensity of singer Anneke van Giersbergen, mixed with the trippy-prog backing that could so easily become self indulgent, yet never does.
		Before joining this label they made a couple of albums without Anneke, which I can’t bear to investigate as she is an integral part of the experience for me. Post-Century Media The Gathering have released an album and an ep on their own label.
		Anneke sounds like she’s singing in a cave, which is novel, but again not essential.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY STEPHANIE SOLLOW
		Giersbergen has a great voice - a sound that is a mix of Renaissance's Annie Haslem, Natalie Merchant, Sinead O'Connor, and, well...on "Liberty" I thought of the Bangles (though not of Susanna Hoffs).
		If there's a criticism, it is that many of the tracks are played at pretty much the same pace, which at times borders on the dirge-like; this is music that requires a great deal of patience.
		René Rutten has written or co-written most of the music for the album (Giersbergen alone is responsible for the lyrics), and the approach is very textured and varied, if played most at mid-tempo.

	Ground and Sky review - The Gathering - How to Measure a Planet?
		The Gathering made their name in progressive metal with their third album, Mandylion, which combined their metal sound with a nicely atmospheric sense and the soaring vocals of Anneke van Giersbergen.
		There are hardly any intricate, memorable, or catchy instrumental motives or riffs to be found, and the harmonics and textures aren't interesting enough to hold the songs together either.
		To make matters worse, Anneke's singing is less effective than it has been in previous albums, and her lyrics aren't exactly tops either.

	Ground and Sky review - The Gathering - Mandylion
		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 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.

	The Gathering - Home - The End Records - CD
		To say Anneke van Giersbergen is the glue that holds the band together would be an apt statement.
		While every member is definitely important in their own right, it’s Anneke's voice that propelled the band from a once little known death metal group to an underground icon and is also the key element to maintaining the band’s familiar sound.
		Home subtly touches that sound, but make no mistake, the main similarity between this album and the band’s previous work is Anneke van Giersbergen, and even she is a bit more subdued here.

		But their real evolution wouldn’t come until singer Anneke Van Giersbergen joined in 1994 and the band released Mandylion, a hard, heavy and at the same time melodically beautiful album.
		As Anneke further nestled into the band dynamic, the band itself began to evolve some more.
		Don’t get scared, the old songs have effortlessly been “remixed” as it were to today’s The Gathering and are in fact a major highlight.

		While there are a few tunes that pass the five minute mark, a majority of the tunes are listenable as they are done in a respectable amount of time.
		Anneke van Giersbergan is perhaps the most intriguing piece of the band as her vocals are as soothing (“Forgotten”) as they are rebellious (“In Between”).
		In addition, as long as they have van Giersbergen then they’ll have no problem being noticed upon first listen.
