The legendary debut album "Always..." by pioneering Dutch metal band The Gathering celebrates its 30th anniversary with a re-release. Originally released in 1992, the album fused doom and death metal with atmospheric keyboards and angelic female vocals contrasting with aggressive male growls. This release marked the beginning of a new progressive gothic/female-fronted metal scene, influencing bands such as Within Temptation, Nightwish, and Lacuna Coil. Remixed by Guido Aalbers and the band from the original studio tapes, and remastered by Maor Applebaum, the album now boasts maximum audio quality.
