 'When Trust Becomes Sound' is one of the most powerful pieces of their entire career.

 They really didn’t put much effort. Let’s hope it’s a transition album, and that next time they deliver work worthy of their name.

The Gathering's 'The West Pole' follows a major lineup change with new singer Silje Wergeland. The album is guitar-driven and features memorable tracks, though it plays safe rather than surprises. Guest vocalists add variety, and overall, it feels like a transition album. Fans hoping for originality might be somewhat disappointed, but it's still a pleasant listen. Discover The Gathering's evolving sound in The West Pole—listen now and judge this transitional album yourself!
