Gatherers 'Massalette/Sad Sick Heart'

Brazen in their delivery of raw expression and brutally honest, Gatherers have never been a band that shy away from exposing weakness and vulnerability in their music and in their unbridled lyricism that has always driven the band's emotional core.

Combined with the ever-impressive songwriting ability that successfully blends hard-hitting melodic hardcore with rock elements and ethereal richly textured atmosphere, Gatherers developed a unique identity for themselves within the scene.

Gatherers still brings to their new EP much a part of this melodic hardcore style that they always did so well, but beyond that, now with a far more deep and cohesive musical experience. Whole though maintaining their familiar abrasive edge, a distinct boost in personal and artistic confidence elevates this effort far above its predecessor, resulting in an extremely emotional experience from beginning to end. Aching and explosives vocals, sad dual guitar parts, stronger production, and a unique song structure contributing much more variety as a result, a constantly surprising and unrelenting in remarkable emotional outpour.

"NJ post-hardcore band Gatherers really swing for the fences on this one. It recalls Deftones and Glassjaw and it’s got the perfect mix of big hooks, harsh aggression, and crystal-clear production needed to really deliver on what Gatherers are going for.” - Brooklyn Vegan
