Formed in the late 90s by the later Epica founder Mark Jansen, the iconic Dutch metal band split up shortly after their eponymous self-titled album "After Forever" was released in 2007. Keyboard player Joost Van Den Broek went on to become renown producer for Epica, Blind Guardian and many more, while singer Floor Jansen joined Nightwish and recently the German TV show Sing Meinen Song (Sing My Song).

Despite After Forever's self-titled album coming out prior to the ubiquitousness of streaming, the album has gained over 15 million streams across platforms. The re-issue of "After Forever" is remastered by Joost Van Den Broeck and includes liner notes by all bandmembers and the bonus tracks the beautiful piano ballad "Lonely" & Sweet Enclosure.
