The Gathering "Afterwords (Holland, Psychonaut Records, PSYN0019)"

Afterwords is an album by the Dutch rock band The Gathering, released via Psychonaut Records on 25 October 2013. It is referred to as either a studio album or a remix album, containing remakes of five songs from Disclosure, but the band consider Afterwords more like an EP. Drummer Hans Rutten has stated, "We all see Disclosure as our last studio album, and Afterwords was more or less a Disclosure after-party... It's a mini album, maybe, but it's a long album. But that said, we don't see it as a full-length album of The Gathering, more as sort of an EP kind of thing." The record is the last album before the band went on hiatus and bassist Marjolein Kooijman quit in 2014.

S.I.B.A.L.D. stands for "Sometimes it's better a little dusty".

Areas is a cover of synthpop band New Musik from their 1981 album Anywhere.

The title track features Bart Smits on vocals, in a clean singing style as opposed to his growling in the band's death-doom debut Always....

Taking the elements from the previous album, the band has rebuilt some of the songs, structurally sounding more or less similar. "Echoes Keep Growing" is just an extension to "I Can See Four Miles", while "Sleep Paralysis" ("Paralyzed"), "Tuning In, Fading Out" ("Missing Seasons") and "Bärenfels" ("Heroes For Ghosts") are more instrumental versions with a lot of emphasis on electronics. There is also some new material, the opening and wonderful "S.I.B.A.L.D.", "Gemini III" and "Afterlights", which is a short instrumental intro into "Sleep Paralysis". It also features a New Musik's cover of "Areas" and "Afterwords" with Bart Smits (the first vocalist of the band) on the vocals, both songs which are utterly unnecessary as they don't fit into the dynamics of the album.

The Gathering "Disclosure (Digipak, Holland, Psychonaut Records, PSYN0016)"

Disclosure is the tenth studio album by the Dutch rock band The Gathering, released via Psychonaut Records on 12 September 2012.

The Gathering have evolved drastically in their 23 years of existence, going from death-doom metal in their early days, through gothic metal to more progressive sounds and settling somehow in a genre popularly labelled as "trip hop".

Jonathan Selzer of Metal Hammer stated, "Less low-key, more electronics-infused than 2009's The West Pole, it's still at the mercy of melancholic driftwinds, Silje's rich, ruffled Arctic floe able to bear devastation with haunting, soul-cleansing grace. If you're fond of frill-free, fragile emotional hinterlands that don't dissolve under scrutiny, Disclosure will reach down deep." Sputnikmusic review observes, "From start to finish, Disclosure is an extraordinary endeavor into the farthest reaches of The Gathering's progressive/experimental side. Silge Wergeland plays a major role in Disclosure's success, but it is important not to overstate her responsibility at the expense of the rest of the band. Selecting even just a few tracks at random is enough to understand the quality and depth of their imagination, not to mention their strength of execution.
