Gather the Faithful is the debut album of Finnish power metal band Cain's Offering, an all-star project started by former Sonata Arctica guitarist Jani Liimatainen. It was recorded in 2009 in different studios in Finland and was released on July 22, 2009 in Japan via Avalon. On the band's website the band stated that they're "right now concentrating on the following European/US release, which most likely will be end of August" and that they're "in negotiations with a well-known label, and will soon be able to announce the deal and tentative release date." The album was mixed by Jimmy Westerlund in Los Angeles, Hollywood and mastered by Eddy Schreyer at Oasis Mastering, Los Angeles, Burbank. On June 25 the band announced that their debut album will be released on August 28 in Europe and on September 11 in the USA by Frontiers Records.
The tracks "Stolen Waters" and "Ocean of Regrets" were written when Liimatainen and Jani Hurula were still members of Paul Di'Anno's touring band.
All songs written by Jani Liimatainen.
On Jani Hurula's Myspace profile, he uploaded an unreleased track called "13th Disciple" with Jani Liimatainen on vocals rather than Timo Kotipelto.
