{"product_id":"the-gathering-downfall-2xcd","title":"THE GATHERING - Downfall 2xCD","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eFormed in October 1989 by drummer Hans and Rene Rutten and vocalist Bart Smits, started as a Celtic Frost \/ Hellhammer-inspired death metal act before adding guitarist Jelmer Wiersma, bassist Hugo Prinsen Geerligs and keyboardist Frank Boeijen and changing their direction towards a more experimental, \"atmospheric\" approach. Issued their first demo recording, Moonlight Archer, in 1990 and issued in June 1992, their debut album 'Always...', which became a great success. Sadly, it would also be the last record to feature the aforementioned line-up, as musical differences led to the departure of Smits. Before and after their debut album, The Gathering recorded several promos\/demo's\/ e.p.'s. Some of them have never been released before (pre production demo recordings with vocalist Bart Smits, 6 songs for the 'Almost A Dance' album, 6 tracks). Together with several live recordings this album contains all material from The Gathering's early days, 1989 - 1993. Mastered and restored by Mike Wead (King Diamond \/ Mercyful Fate), booklet and cover art by Ivan S. Bragin and including liner notes and rare old pictures.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"VIC Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57265947181382,"sku":null,"price":13.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2300\/6790\/files\/81Xu9sCWknL_379348d8-b1ba-4432-8483-bfed2aaf4313.jpg?v=1788550316","url":"https:\/\/selfmadegod-store.com\/ru\/products\/the-gathering-downfall-2xcd","provider":"Selfmadegod Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
