AFTER FOREVER BIOGRAPHY
After Forever is the title of a number of bands and projects.
#1 After Forever (Netherlands)
Dutch metal band that can be described as a symphonic metal band with influences from classical music, progressive metal, power metal and doom metal. After Forever uses a number vocal styles, like death grunts (Sander Gommans) and soprano vocals (Floor Jansen).
The band consists of Floor Jansen (vocal), Sander Gommans (guitar, gutural voices), Bas Maas (guitar), Luuk van Gerven (bass), Joost van den Broek (keyboards) and Andre Borgman (drums).
In 2003 Mark Jansen quit After Forever and subsequently assembled the band Epica.
In 2006 After Forever made their departure from Transmission records after spending 10 years with them. The album "Mea Culpa" has been made without the aproval of the band and therefore isn't supported by After forever. "Mea Culpa" contains a collection of After Forever singles, remixes and favourites separated in two chapters with guest appearances with celebrities such as Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation), Damian Wilson (Ayreon) and Marco Hietala (Nightwish/Tarot)
In April 2007 they released their fifth studio album with the title "After Forever".

#3 After Forever (Maryland, USA)
Hailing from Baltimore Maryland, After Forever was founded for the sole purpose of recreating through live performance the music of the legendary Black Sabbath. Comprised of veteran musicians, After Forever celebrates this music with a passion borne through nearly three decades of formal study, influence and outright fanaticism. We then employ gear and amplification that was designed to meet the tonal demands of Black Sabbath themselves.
