~ MANDYLION ANNIVERSARY TOUR 2026 ~

 

Mandylion is the third studio album by the Dutch (from Oss, North Brabant) progressive alternative rock trip hop shoegaze gothic metal (early) death-doom (early) band The Gathering. It was released on August 22, 1995. The record is their first album to feature vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen. Producer Siggi Bemm - Waldemar Sorychta and The Gathering. This album is a radical change from the dark content of doom metal of The Gathering's first two albums, towards a more melodic sound that explores themes of nature, emotion and mysticism. Additionally, is one of the first albums of the gothic metal genre to focus on female vocals, replacing the harsh male death growls.
