The first album of the Gathering. In June 1992, their debut album, Always..., became a great success on the European continent. Always... has been built upon the increasingly popular death metal, but has a distinguished sound and is packaged with an array of interesting instruments: flute, piano, triangle, wind chimes and of course crunching guitars and even paced drums, the band defied the norms of death metal. The Gathering was one of the first bands introduced the use of female vocals by Marike Groot joining the grunts of Bart Smits. Today, lots of people consider this album as cult and as a milestone for the genre. This re-release version was remastered by Attie Bauw.
