Gatehring Darkness - Biography:

Gathering Darknesss was formed in June 1998 and initially their style was Death Metal with influences of Doom. In December of the same year Gathering Darknees played his first gig.In 2000 they released their first demo called "Sorrounded by Thorns", leading to different concerts in different towns of their region.

In 2002, after the departure of their second guitarist Julio, Nico joins the band, creating a harder sound and moving away from Doom. They recorded the demo "Suffering Into My Dreams" in 2003, which was followed by several concerts over Cantabria and the rest of the country (Spain). Shortly, Mon decided to leave the band, with a group of four people as a result.

After his departure, the evolution of their music continues moving away completely from Doom Metal and going into the purest of Brutal Death. In 2005 their first album sees the light: "Beholders of the Pain Planet", which was sponsored by Grotesque Productions, having excellent critics from the audience. This is followed by a series of concerts throughout Spain, sharing stage with other bands as Sinister, Moho, Possession, etc.

Nico leaves the band in 2007 and is replaced by Kike after a while, releasing an EP in 2009 called "Desolation" (which is avaiable to download online) giving a new progression in the band's sound. With the realease of this EP, Gathering Darkness performed with bands like Misery Index, Legacy of Brutality, The Ocean, Internal Suffering ...

Finally in 2010, after the departure of their bassist Fernando "Bile", they decided to recruit another guitarist and a new bassist, David and Toño and recorded a new Split-Cd called "The Light Won't Save You" along with Canadian Tyrants Blood, edited by Hecatombe Records, giving another step in the band's sound. Since its creation to the present times, the concept and lyrics of Gathering Darkness differ from other bands of Brutal Death Metal and Death Metal, as it deals with human decay and desolation, negativity, psychological problems, self destruction, Pessimism ... everything surrounded by the Darkness that comes from within.

A dark and pessimistic propaganda that is not made for all ears and minds.
