After Forever

After Forever is a Dutch symphonic, gothic and progressive metal band that began in 1995 under the name Apocalypse. It released five albums between 2000 and 2007 and announced its end on 5 February 2009. In 2025 it reunited for two sold-out shows at 013 in Tilburg, marking the 25th anniversary of its debut, with Angel Wolf-Black of Shewolf on lead vocals in place of Floor Jansen. A Maxazine review dated 5 October 2025 praised her handling of the coloratura parts. Blabbermouth reported four Latin American concerts for 16 to 22 October 2026, without Mark Jansen, to mark the anniversaries of Decipher and Prison of Desire.
