Solid post-rocky sludge business.

EDIT: They turn into Oxbow on the last track, Crown Fire.

His songs are sort of stately poems. He belongs to the Tom Verlaine-Neil Young side of guitar playing (I mean, the non-animal, the almost metaphysical side).

This is one of his crowning achievements: "And the flowers they'll bloom" (1995).

I almost forgot how cool The Gathering were. They started out all goth doom, which was cool, but by How to Measure a Planet? they were some kind of prog, space rock, alternative rock band of awesome proportions. It's a double album with some more doom elements on the second half. With the space rock **** going on some of it doesn't sound a million miles away from a trip hop Ufomammut with a chick singer. Or Massive Attack with doom riffs about halfway through the song.

****ing awesome whatever it is though.

^ I first heard them played on a local college radio station in 1995 and was so impressed by what I heard that I bought that album the next day. I've been a fan of the band since then.
Have almost everything they've ever released on CD or vinyl as well as a couple dozen live shows on audio and video.

Just added this one to my collection a couple of days ago...


The Mermen - Do You Hear What I Hear - A Very Mermen Christmas (2012)

It just became my favorite Christmas album!

Here they are at Slim's in San Francisco on December 23, 2012, performing "Do You Hear What I Hear"

Love The Gathering. Beyond that, Anneke (the lead chick) also does a lot of vocals on the last couple Devin Townsend Project albums.
