Our Take

NUCLEAR BLAST's remastered version of "The Gathering" is like finding a vintage pair of neon legwarmers in your mom's attic - a blast from the past that's surprisingly relevant in today's musical landscape. Packed full of thrashing guitars, thunderous drums, and enough angst to fill a teenager's diary, this album is a time capsule of the golden age of metal.

From the moment the first riff kicks in on "Kingdom", you know you're in for a wild ride. The production on this remastered version is crisp and clear, letting every screeching solo and guttural growl hit you right in the eardrums. Tracks like "Strange Machines" and "Nighttime Birds" showcase the band's versatility, blending haunting melodies with bone-crushing heaviness in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Lead singer Anneke van Giersbergen's vocals soar above the chaos, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the band's aggressive sound. Her duets with keyboardist Frank Boeijen on tracks like "Eléanor" and "Travel" are truly magical moments that elevate the album to new heights.

Overall, "The Gathering" remastered is a must-listen for any metalhead looking to relive the glory days of the genre. It's a headbanging, fist-pumping journey through the dark and twisted world of NUCLEAR BLAST, and one that's sure to leave you craving more.

Profile: NUCLEAR BLAST In the chaotic world of heavy metal, there shines a flickering light of sheer unadulterated aggression and energy. And that light is none other than NUCLEAR BLAST. Hailing from the depths of the underground scene, this band has erupted onto the stage with a sound that can only be described as a nuclear explosion of sonic intensity. Formed in the heart of the industrial wasteland, NUCLEAR BLAST have carved a niche for themselves with their blistering riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals that can shake the very foundations of reality. Their music is not for the faint-hearted, as it invokes a primal energy that ignites mosh pits and leaves audiences in a state of frenzied ecstasy. With a discography that reads like a war journal, NUCLEAR BLAST have proven time and time again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the metal scene. Their albums are a sonic assault on the senses, a cacophony of chaos and beauty that leaves listeners gasping for air and begging for more. Forget about subtlety and introspection, NUCLEAR BLAST is all about raw power and unbridled emotion. This is music that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go until you are left bruised, battered, and utterly exhilarated. So if you're looking for a musical experience that will shake you to your core and leave you breathless, look no further than NUCLEAR BLAST. They are not just a band, they are a force of nature. And once you've experienced their music, you'll never be the same again.
