【News】After Forever Dissolved !

才剛看學弟妹輸球回來就看到這個消息實在是雙重打擊（淚...），歷經15年歷史的歌德名團於本月5號時正式發表公告信宣布After Forever正式解散。以大量的弦樂配置演奏出優美的旋律與淒美的女伶美聲，在副歌時以力量十足的riff銜接背景旋律創造出既曼妙優美又氣勢磅礡的歌德旋律金屬，After Forever用這樣的特色與優勢在歌德金屬界不斷闖蕩至今，也相同的締造了許許多多的佳評與成績，成為了眾所皆知的歌德名團，然而2008年的休團也許成為這次事件的前兆，許多無法再向上突破的樂團在幾經休團之後，往往容易走向解散或是各個樂手離團，無論如何，After Forever在巔峰時為自己在頂點上劃下句點，讓他們成為了金屬界一個不朽的傳奇，也讓我們抱持著祝福的心情，如同After Forever的My Space上第一首歌的歌名－Cry With a Smile ，祝福他們各自都能有各自美好的前景。以下為公開信內容。



Dearest Fans,

After nearly 15 years and with heavy hearts, we have decided to call an end to a great and exciting time as After Forever. We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished, and especially of the road we took to get here. After Forever has never been a band that repeated itself; we always tried out new things, even though many of them were certainly done at a risk. We think that that has been one of the reasons we’ve always enjoyed enormous support from all our loyal fans.

The break we took in 2008 made us appreciate all the more what we’d experienced. Now more than ever, we can look back on so many fantastic moments, something we never would have expected to be part of when we started the band all those years ago.

However, that break also made us aware of the fact that we can only continue After Forever with the energy, the full 110%, that we have always put into it and we’ve noticed lately that there is something missing. We have always been musicians who create music with lots of passion, and during the break we built up our own lives again and have been musically active and experimenting in several genres.

Although After Forever is very special to us, we feel that we have reached the point where we need to explore the world of music in each of our own different ways. Thus, we’ve decided to quit while we’re ahead. We are sincerely proud of every CD; each album represents a unique period, and all comes together in our last album "After Forever," which made all of our dreams possible. We hope After Forever will continue to be a source of inspiration for new bands and musicians alike so that our music can live on.

As band members, but also as friends, we’ve experienced so very much; highs and lows, good times and bad. We'll keep supporting each other in all of our various individual projects and continue inspiring one another in making music.
Our MySpace page www.myspace.com/afterforever will be used for updates on all of these projects and of course After Forever-related news, as well.
You can be sure that this is not an easy decision for any of us. We'd like to thank all of our fans for their support, also during the break.

We know that this will be a big disappointment to you, dear fans, and it makes it that much harder for us. You have always given us your all and it was our pledge, in turn, always to give at least as much back to you for as long as we exist. In this moment, that’s unfortunately just not possible, so we'd rather leave you all the albums and gigs we achieved with maximum input.

We'd also like to thank Nuclear Blast, TEG and MOJO for their patience and enthusiasm, the live crew, the fan club, the fan sites and everybody who's helped in every way possible.

We'll miss you all.

Most Sincerely,


Floor, Sander, Joost, Bas, Andre and Luuk

After Forever
