Renowned vocalist and songwriter Anneke van Giersbergen marks her return with the release of her new single, “Red Sky,” which debuted on February 20. This track serves as the centerpiece for La Mort, the second EP in her ambitious conceptual triptych La Vie, La Mort, L’Amour, set to be released on March 27, 2026.

Inspired by the rich production styles of the 1980s and 1990s, Van Giersbergen recorded this material alongside a full eight-piece band. The goal was to capture the organic energy and “muscle” of a complete band performing live, moving away from minimalist arrangements to embrace a sound with depth, character, and analog nostalgia.

The announcement of this new material comes during a period of intense activity for the artist. While redefining her current sound, Anneke continues to honor her history by touring with her former band, The Gathering.

As a key figure and pioneer of Gothic Metal and Alternative Rock, her reunion with the band on stage allows fans to relive the mold-breaking sound of the 90s, while simultaneously discovering her most mature and personal side through this new musical triptych.

Following the release of the first installment (La Vie) and the recent debut of “Red Sky,” the cycle will culminate in late 2026.
