Have been following them since halfway 1995 as well - right after they released Mandylion. For me, the Gathering died after How to Measure a Planet .. They stopped being Metal and started being soft synth-pop. But this song .. Yeah. This is a rock icon. This is the very song that made a Metalhead of me.
@Solitudinis Wins? I meant that this song and this album(mandylion) is old school symphonic female fronted metal. A forerunner to bands like Nightwish and Within Temptation After forever and so on. When people think chick metal they tend to think of bands like that. Maybe I sould have been more specific.
3:25 AAAAHH Big giant mutant hand out to get ya. This singer and this band are as good live as they are on their albums. I'm sure they didn't waste a lot of tracks in the studio.
I really enjoy the first The Gathering album. Long time ago... Anneke is a nice singer? Yes, she is, but she isn't a metal singer... that's why I cry for the days when metal has rules... 80's, of course...
@PennyDreadful1 Well, then Doro wins as when Anneke started singing in The Gathering, the band was a totally diferent genre. No longer Doom/Death but a Doomy sort of Gothic. Nevertheless, the genre they started developing is more melancholic than before, somewhat unique, brilliant.
also, !!!! ich (wir) waren riesen Fans, nach so einer Leistung überlege ich mir das nochmal. Tut mir leid, das ist einfach schlecht. du warst die beste sängerin.
She is a goddess, a show-woman, always with a great voice that NEVER fails!! SHe must be one of the most ourstanding live singers.
Amazing
Perfect
Greatness.
I hope I didn't understate this woman and her angelic voice.

@Solitudinis I meant in the power/symphonic genre.
Anneke van Giersbergen is THE best... Hail Anneke!!!
