Beautiful Distortion

Beautiful Distortion is the eleventh album by Dutch rock band the Gathering. It was released on 29 April 2022 via the Gathering's imprint Psychonaut Records. Because the Gathering was on hiatus beforehand, it is their first full-length album in over nine years as well as their first release since the COVID-19 pandemic began. It is also the first studio album to feature the band's founding bassist Hugo Prinsen Geerligs since their 2003 effort Souvenirs. He joined the band coinciding with the departure of Marjolein Kooijman, who had replaced him on bass when he first left.
