ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN: 6 songs on 2 Meter Sessions in The Ballroom (2021)

After thirteen years as the front woman for melancholic metallers, The Gathering, Anneke van Giersbergen struck out on her own in 2007. Since then, her creativity has known no bounds. Anneke quickly solidified a successful solo career (initially under the moniker Agua de Annique), and has recorded and performed with Canadian metal genius Devin Townsend multiple times. She has also lent her serene yet powerful voice to the likes of: Anathema, Icelandic folk group Árstíðir, Within Temptation, Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen, Amorphis, and prog legend John Wetton. In 2021, she released a new solo album: ‘The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest’, her 23rd career album. It proves, once again, that the award-winning Dutch artist defies being pigeonholed by any genre. - Listen to “The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest“ in Spotify: Anneke van Giersbergen visited Dutch television show “2 Meter Sessions&q
