Doom MetalHeavy MetalStoner Metal
Hamden, Connecticut's The Gathering have been steadily occupying the fertile ground between stoner, doom, and heavy metal since 1999, making them one of the more seasoned acts working that particular vein in New England. Their longevity speaks to a consistent commitment to slow-burning, riff-heavy music that doesn't chase trends — the kind of band that has outlasted multiple waves of scene enthusiasm simply by staying true to the form. Connecticut's small but dedicated heavy underground has provided a sturdy foundation for their decades-long run.
