THE GATHERING Double-DVD, Double-CD

THE GATHERING's A Noise Severe Double-DVD, Double-CD Sets In Stores Today

THE GATHERING's A Noise Severe double-DVD and double-CD sets are in stores today (February 5th) in North America via The End Records.

This double-live CD, recorded during The Gathering’s South American Homelands tour, is the last release to feature singer Anneke van Giersbergen and showcases the band’s more rock-oriented music. The release helps us look back at a special period of the band’s history, as well as stands as the beginning of a new era.

The DVD was filmed in front of 4,000 fans at Teatro Caupolicán in Santiago, Chile. A Noise Severe is the heavier follow-up to The Gathering’s award-winning DVD, A Sound Relief. Both CD and DVD sets will be released in digi-pack format.

Says drummer Hans Rutten about the recording of the album and DVD: "There was an incredible noise the whole concert. The audience was superb. I think it's a very elegant way to end an era - with Anneke that is - and it gives strength to us and what the future will bring. I think the recordings speak for themselves. It's unique. It's a statement. It's something to be proud of."

The band released their latest album, Home, last April on The End Records.
