5th album from 2005 by the Irish PRIMORDIAL, one of the most distinctive and influential bands to emerge from the European Pagan Metal scene. “The Gathering Wilderness” marked the beginning of one of the most acclaimed periods in the band's career, firmly establishing its trademark blend of epicness, melancholy, darkness and deep Irish cultural roots.
More mature and emotionally powerful than its predecessors, the album features expansive and immersive compositions where elements of Pagan Metal, Doom Metal and Black Metal converge into a sound filled with dramatic intensity and unique character. Regarded by many fans as one of PRIMORDIAL's essential works, “The Gathering Wilderness” represented a major artistic leap forward and helped establish the band among the leading forces of contemporary epic Metal.
Recommended for fans of MOONSORROW, MAEL MÓRDHA, SOLSTAFIR and FALKENBACH.
