One of the best symphonic metal albums ever recorded, After Forever were ahead of their time, and laid the groundwork for bands yet to come.A long time ago, After Forever were a force to be reckoned with in the symphonic metal world. In this 15th anniversary edition there’s two new songs, and especially Sweet Closure brings everything great about the band to the table for one last hurrah, and that of course includes impressive instrumentation. It’s a glorious return to form, fitting perfectly in the album. This is a perfectly remastered version of their self-titled, and final album, sounding incredibly clear while not taking away any of the metallic punch from the original release.
