After Forever - Clears Up Departure From Label
After Forever posted the following message in their website:
"Today, record company Transmission send a press release in which several factual errors occur.
Transmission reports that they are putting an end to the cooperation with After Forever. This decision however, had earlier already been made by the band by not accepting Transmission's offers to extend the contract or to renew it.
After Forever found it was time for a cooperation with a new partner. Most important reasons for this decision are Transmission's approach to promotion and marketing, especially abroad.
Also, in the last period of time, Transmission's support and involvement had been minimal.
The recent European tour (January) made this clear to us once again with relation to press promotion and local supply of CD's. Also, the two year old pictures send with this latest press release is evidence of no real involvement with the band.
After Forever will be playing at several festivals in Belgium, Luxemburg and The Netherlands. In the second half of this year, they will also tour through Latin America again, like they did in 2005. Next to several venues and clubs, the band will perform at three large festivals in Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires and Mexico City.
For our fans, we think it is good to know that several large labels, both national and international, have shown interest in a cooperation with After Forever.
Therefore, we can only conclude that Transmission is a bad loser."

Sagitta - After Forever's Keyboardist Guest On Ohm
Joost Van Den Broek, After Forever´s keyboardist, has already started recording his special guest on the debut album of Sagitta, named "Ohm". Former member of Sun Caged, Joost has already worked with Arjen Lucassen on the projects Ayreon and Star One. Influenced by Derek Sherinian, Steve Vai, Ayreon/Star One, Muse, Jamiroquai and Devin Townsend Sagitta fans can wait for a surprising work of this 22 year-old keyboardist , who has been playing since he was 11.
Philip Colodetti, "Ohm"´s producer, is in Germany to keep up the recordings of Joost, who will also take part in the CD´s orchestration, expected to be released next semester with very special guests. Despite the delay on the recordings - "Ohm" was expected to be released this semester - but the band musicians aren´t worried about it, they just wanna it the way they´ve planned. According to Alex Neves, the bassist, the delay on the recordings were also due to the scheduling of the special guests on this debut album of Sagitta.
It´s also important to remember that Cede Dupont, Freedom Call and Symphorce´s guitar player, came to Brazil last year especially to record his part and yet jammed with Sagitta at Blackmore Bar, in São Paulo (SP). The expectation is huge and the band hasn´t been on the stage for a long time to concentrate on this CD. "We can hardly wait to come back to the stages, and I miss the fans a lot", says Alex Neves.

After Forever - André treatment, Start Recording
The band posted the following message on their website:
Dear Fans,
The recordings of our fourth full length album ´Remagine´ has finally begun!
Monday, March 7, the recordings of the drums started. The first thing we asked the studio engineers, was to give a professional assessment of the recording quality of the drums on the pre production we had recorded.
Andre had drummed on this pre production and we hoped we would be able to use this material. To our great relief the engineers thought this was Top Quality material. So, without Andre being present in the studio, his drums will be on Remagine!!!
We thank Ernst van der Ee, Andre's friend and professional example, who was prepared to drum the album, for being there if necessary.
After hearing this positive news André was very excited and hopefully that happiness will make him recover faster!
He started with his second chemical therapy session and so far there are no complications. He is responding well to this treatment so lets hope he will not get sick like last time.
He´ll be in the hospital until Friday, then he can go home again to recover and get ready for the next chemical treatment. If everything stays normal he´ll be home for two weeks.
André and After Forever want to thank everybody who have supported us the last few weeks in these difficult times!!!
We hope André stays in your hearts and that you keep helping him by sending nice mails, postcards, etc. to get him back behind the drum kit as soon as possible!
Greetings,
After Forever"

After Forever - 'Remagine' Coming September 2005
26-01-2005 - After Forever will record a new album!
At the end of February the recordings of the fourth album of After Forever will start! After Forever will record the drums, bass guitar and the guitars in the Excess Studio in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) again. The vocals, classical stuff and the mix will be done in the Gate Studio of Sascha Peath and Miro in Wolfsburg, Germany.
The writing proces has just finished and we are very happy about the results again! The songs are more compact, fresh, catchy and again; typically After Forever. In melodic aspect, the album will be more simular to Decipher.For more specific updates about the music: check our forum!!!!!!
It will not become a concept album just like Invisible Circles. The songs have several subjects, some about your imagined life when you dream, some about the reality of this world. The title will be REMAGINE.
Remagine means you can reflect on life and you imagine in. Both ingredients are there in the lyrics and in the music. The word is a combination between Reflection and Imagination.
The album will be released in September 2005!!! We would love to see you on some of the summer festivals we are now planning to do to introduce some of the new songs there!!!
Keep checking www.afterforever.com about the progress of the recordings. After Forever will write a studio report every week when the recordings have started!!!
