Dutch singer 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 and Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, The Gentle Storm) among others. To present her progressive metal side, Anneke formed VUUR in 2016, a new band that features some of the best heavy metal players in The Netherlands. The name VUUR - translated from Dutch as "fire", can also be interpreted to mean "passion" or "drive". The band will release their full-length debut ‘In This Moment We Are Free - Cities’ on October 20th via InsideOut Music. The album features crushing riffs and impressive rhythm patterns, whereas Anneke’s intense singing sends shivers down your spine. The band will hit the road this fall and focus on new material, as well as the heavier side of Anneke's previous outings.
