THE GATHERING: ‘Echoes Keep Growing’ Song Available For Streaming

Dutch/Norwegian rockers THE GATHERING will release their new 43-minute album, "Afterwords", in September on CD, vinyl and other formats. In addition to the three songs that originally appeared on the "Afterlights" EP in 2012, the new disc contains two fresh "Disclosure" remakes as well as three brand new THE GATHERING tracks and a cover version of a song called "Areas". The album's title track, "Afterwords", features a guest appearance on vocals by founding THE GATHERING member Bart Smits and it "shows the 'other' side of Bart's dynamic voice," according to the band. Contributing "great trumpet parts" to the CD once again is Noel Hofman. "Afterwords" track listing: 01. S.I.B.A.L.D. 02. Echoes Keep Growing 03. Afterwords 04. Tuning In, Fading Out 05. Areas 06.
