Vuur

Vocalist Anneke Van Giersbergen has been busy ever since her meteoric rise with (and eventual exit from) The Gathering, recording solo work with Agua De Annique as well as collaborating with both Devin Townsend and Arjen Luccasen in recent years. She formed Vuur in 2016 to explore her metal side (her words) while she continues to explore other musical endeavors as a solo artist. The debut album, 2017's In This Moment We Are Free - Cities, features Anneke in peak form, with the band style vaguely in the progressive metal mold but with some crunchy, downtuned guitars (for some reason, recent Madder Mortem arises as a slight soundalike). Time will tell whether Anneke continues this project, but for now Cities makes for a fine debut.
