     ─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─

     The most immediately striking aspect of Nighttime Birds
     is that the Gathering does not have an ordinary singer
     or death-metal growler; instead, they have metal diva
     Anneke Van Giersbergen, whose voice often recalls Bj÷rk
     and may range from a powerful, throaty wail to a
     sweetly tuneful caress that belies her deliberate,
     crunching musical accompaniment. As with Mandylion, The
     Gathering no longer really sounds like a traditional
     death metal band; the music is mostly melodic (yet
     tinged with sorrow), slow to midtempo progressive
     metal, with Van Giersbergen's distinctive voice soaring
     above the band's nicely varied textures. It's a fine
     effort, one that marks the Gathering as a band that
     bears watching, especially if they vary the tempo and
     mood a bit more.
