First, I'm sick and tired that After Forever is always compared to Nightwish or Within Tempation because After Forever has a style that is somewhat similar to them although they are not power metal like Nightwish. Their style is not so easily defined. The wide use of background singers and classical musicians like the Embred Strings consisting of Ebred Reijen , Noemi Bodden , Janin Baller , Carla Schrijner , Roxane Steffen and Irma Kort but they are playing on the follow-up album Decipher. On Prison of Desire however the guest appearances include Sharon Den Adel on 'Beyond Me' and the After Forever Choir: Hans Cassa , Caspar De Jonge , Yvonne Rooda and Melissa 't Hart on 'Mea Culpa', 'Leaden Legacy', 'Follow in the Cry', 'Silence from Afar' and 'Yield to Temptation'. And that's a power package none the less. But now, let's go back to what is really important, the music.

I stumbled upon After Forever in search of the first three installments to Epica's 'The Embrace That Smothers' series, so naturally, parts of this album were the very first material I heard from this band. I still remember those years ago how captivated I was by the melodies and Floor's sweet, yet powerful voice. It was only lately that I've become a huge fan of this band and fell in love with this album. For a debut album, it is breathtakingly brilliant, and I can honestly say it's an album I often have on repeat.
