Dutch singer and songwriter 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 the progressive metal side of her personality, Anneke formed VUUR in 2016, a new band that features some of the best heavy metal players in the Netherlands.
VUUR released their full-length debut in October 2017 on InsideOut Music. The band is currently on tour, focusing on new material as well as the heavier side of Anneke's previous outings.
