'Strange Machines' by Anneke van Giersbergen
THE SIRENS - 3 Pioneering Female Metal Singers Join Forces Live On Tour
Band Members Liv Kristine, Anneke van Giersbergen, Kari Rueslåtten

In this day and age female fronted metal bands are normal part of everyday life. They are so common, in fact, that it's a waste of breath making the distinction between them and bands with a hairy, ugly guy behind the microphone. There was a time, however, when the idea of a woman fronting a full-on metal band was dismissed by metal fans and press alike as absurd. The world accepted Doro Pesch fronting Warlock and Sabina Classen leading Holy Moses in the '80s, sure, but it wasn't until the rise of The 3rd And The Mortal, The Gathering and Theatre Of Tragedy in the early '90s that the movement towards equality in metal truly began. Now, in celebration of a revolution that launched an entirely new musical genre, vocalists Kari Rueslåtten (The 3rd And The Mortal), Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering) and Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull (Leaves' Eyes, Theatre Of Tragedy) have united for a journey into the past presented live on stage: The Sirens.

'Strange Machines' the first song of Mandylion is the third studio album by the Dutch band The Gathering, a Dutch alternative rock band. MANDYLION was released on August 22, 1995 by Century Media Records. The record is their first album to feature vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen. The album was recorded and mixed at Woodhouse Studios in Hagen, Germany between June 1st and June 16th, 1995 under the guidance of Siggi Bemm and Waldemar Sorychta.

Two of the songs have quotes from popular culture inserted into them: "Strange Machines" contains a passage from George Pal's film version of H.G. Wells's The Time Machine, and "Sand & Mercury" ends with a recording of J.R.R. Tolkien reading a quote from Simone de Beauvoir.

Strange Machines Lyrics
by The Gathering

It has always been in the back of my mind
Dreaming about going through corners of time
I always wanted to fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch world war II and Cleopatra
flying...

Could it be that my dream would come true
Building a machine that would actually do
What I want to do

Russian revolution, let's do it in one day
Beethoven and Gershwin I think that would be OK
More than anything I wanna fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my eyes
Watch Jesus rise. If he ever did
Flying...

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch renaissance and Shaka Khan
Flying...
