Dutch singer Anneke van Giersbergen will forever be known as the vocalist for melancholic metallers The Gathering, but since striking out on her own in 2007, she has solidified a solo career and recorded and performed multiple times with Canadian metal genius Devin Townsend, among others.
To present her progressive metal side, Anneke formed VUUR, a new band that features some of the best heavy metal players in the Netherlands.
VUUR will release their full-length debut 'In This Moment We Are Free - Cities' on October 20th via InsideOut Music. From there the band will hit the road and focus on new material, as well as the heavier side of Anneke's previous outings.
