THE GATHERING

---

"Mandylion's eight emotional songs range from somber tranquility
to outright beauty, in the process creating an album that is sure 
to bring a ray of hope to even the darkest of hearts. The Gathering's
music is a testament to the triumph of perseverance. Most importantly, 
it will undoubtedly shatter a number of preconceived notions and stereotypes 
tied not only to the band but their musical style as a whole , as their 
amazing commercial accomplishments clearly exemplify."
