After Forever - To Reunite For Special 25th Anniversary Show
After disbanding back in 2009, Dutch metal group After Forever revealed that they will reunite for a special 25th anniversary concert on October 4th, 2025 at 013 Poppodium in Tilburg, The Netherlands. Floor Jensen will not perform on this occasion. Angel Wolf-Black of (SheWolf) will replace her. Tickets available for purchase at this location.
Mastermind Mark Jansen explains: ''After Forever fans, 2025 marks a monumental milestone: 25 years since After Forever left a timeless footprint on the world of symphonic metal with their debut album Prison Of Desire.
"Its 2001 successor, Decipher, pushed their music even further, fusing progressive elements with a heavier sound that helped shape the symphonic metal of today. These two releases marked the start of a wonderful journey - one that took the band to international stages and into the hearts of fans all over the world.
"After five successful albums, the sextet’s journey came to an end in 2009. Despite that, their music has lived on, continuing to inspire the next generations of musicians and fans alike. With a loyal following, still passionate about the band’s musical legacy, the time has come to bring back to life - and to the stage - the music from these two records that started it all.
"Even though After Forever is a closed chapter for the group’s original singer, Floor Jansen, members of the original lineup - Mark Jansen, Sander Gommans, Luuk van Gerven and André Borgman - have joined forces with vocalist Angel Wolf-Black (SheWolf), guitarist Bas Maas (After Forever/ Doro), and keyboardist Jeffrey Revet (Stream Of Passion) to honour and celebrate the band’s cherished music and its lasting impact, in an unforgettable live experience.
"Join us as we revisit old hits, revive the energy, and celebrate the legacy of After Forever! Feel free to let us know which songs you’d like to hear."

Umm, yeah, no. Music is music but without Floor there's no real point to it. Even Anneke joined The Gathering and their present vocalist Silje on stage for their 25th shows some 10 years ago. I don't underestimate the effort being put into it but methinks they haven't tried hard enough to make it special enough. I.

Written by Bad English on Today at 11:45 I don't care whether there is or isn't a wad of cash involved. Of course there is. My point is that if they are doing an anniversary celebration of what they consider a genre influencing album couldn't they, like, make it look like that whatever feuds they had they could at least put those behind them and be above them for just this one time to really celebrate what they achieved together?
