THE GATHERING - Always Picture-LP

LUXURIOUS PICTURE LP VERSION, HOUSED IN A CUT OUT COVER, INCL. HEAVY INSERT.

LTD TO 500 COPIES

"Always..." is definitely an underrated release in The Gathering's discography. It may be groundbreaking for death-doom and gothic metal, but it's still got flaws that can draw away listeners. Music is alright, the lyrics are sophisticated and dark, and the way The Gathering use these new characteristics for this direction of metal is unique and different for its time. This direction wouldn't last long as the band continued more experimentation, and would make cuts to its music and vocals. A huge recommendation for anyone who likes some atmospheric death-doom or interested in knowing the early history of gothic metal, "Always..." is a great album.
