Biography
#1 After Forever (Netherlands)
Dutch metal band that was previously named Apocalypse when they were first formed in 1995. They can be described as a symphonic metal band with influences from classical music, doom metal, gothic metal, power metal and progressive metal. After Forever uses mixed vocal styles, consisting of death grunts (Sander Gommans), soprano vocals (Floor Jansen) and occasionally clean male vocals (Bas Maas).
The band consists of Floor Jansen (vocals), Sander Gommans (guitar, guttural voices), Bas Maas (guitars), Luuk van Gerven (bass), Joost van den Broek (keyboards) and André Borgman (drums).
In 2002 Mark Jansen quit After Forever and subsequently assembled the band Epica.
In 2006 After Forever made their departure from Transmission records after spending 10 years with them. The album “Mea Culpa” has been made without the approval of the band and therefore isn’t supported by After forever. “Mea Culpa” contains a collection of After Forever singles, remixes and favourites separated in two chapters with guest appearances with celebrities such as Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation), Damian Wilson (Ayreon) and Marco Hietala (Nightwish/Tarot)
In April 2007 they released their fifth studio album with the title “After Forever”.
On Sunday 10th June they opened the Dimebag Darrel Stage at the 2007 Download Festival.

v Why so? Some metal bands may sound gothic, but not doom.

"v Given that After Forever are definitely not, what's wrong with the term "gothic metal" itself?" <<< Pretty much impossible to correctly assign to any band that's not gothic doom, and then they are a doom band!

Floor Jansen is an amazing soprano. Happy I will be listening your voice in Nightwish. [3]

Gothic metal, seriously? o.O People, don't tag symphonic metal bands this way, please. [2] The term 'gothic metal' always makes me cringe. Please do your research before you put a label on a band
