\"This album does not only show new elements of After Forever, but it\'s also a reflection of the past. We wrote this album, while negotiating with new labels, and felt a lot of energy. The previous albums all had their own style and identity. This time we carried these different elements to the extremes. After Forever is a metal band with classical influences, on our upcoming cd the \"chemistry\" between these two worlds worked out better than ever! Whatever we did in the past and planed for the future: you\'ll find it on \'After Forever\'!\"

Gommans recently announced his side project HDK, featuring God Dethroned sticksman Ariën van Weesenbeek on drums. Their music is said to be \"a lot more agressive and guitar orientated than After Forever\".
