The Gathering To Enter Studio For 9th Studio Album

Dutch act The Gathering entered the studio today (November 21st, 2005) to commence work on their 9th studio album.

The band has built a professional homemade studio inside an old church in the small town of Maurik, located in the south of Holland. With the help of producer Atti Bauw (producer of the band's 1998's How to Measure a Planet?) the band plans to work there for a month before heading to Bauw's studio to mix and master the music.

Singer Anneke van Giersbergen had the following to say about the constructed studio and working with Bauw again, "We built our own studio there because we wanted to do something different and create a new atmosphere. As for working with Attie Bauw, he is a very inspirational man with great ideas and we were very anxious to work with him again."
