The Gathering of Shadows is a clandestine gathering of Black Metal musicians and musical devotees in the seclusion of the deep Rocky Mountains. The venue is the forest and the night sky. The bands play whatever they wish, for as long as they wish. There are no restrictions placed on the musicians or the audience. The intention and purpose of the Gathering of Shadows is to take this form of art away from the irreverence of bars and nightclubs in order for the music to somewhat transcend entertainment. The Gathering of Shadows presents an opportunity to express Black Metal, through live performance, which is not available otherwise.

The Gathering of Shadows has been an unparalleled event for the last four years, setting a new standard for live Black Metal. The program has remained unchanged. No money is charged of anyone and no money is paid to anyone. There are no tickets sold and no profits taken. The bands travel to perform at this event at their own expense. We simply provide the opportunity for all in attendance to experience Black Metal in a completely unique environment, free from the distractions and limitations of typical venues. This is the only Black Metal performance that is set up this way. The 5th Annual Gathering of Shadows will be made possible once again with the help of Full Moon Productions, Hate War Productions, and Forever Plagued Records. Obviously this event is intended for, and dedicated to, individuals who are committed to Black Metal as an ultimate art form. Those who follow this path are welcomed.

The Gathering of Shadows is an Invite Only event. However, we do our best to include an acceptable amount of people who contribute to the idea of Black Metal. For information about attending the Gathering of Shadows send an E-mail to:
