AFTER FOREVER Begin Rehearsing With ORPHEUS Orchestra: Photos Available

November 29, 2005

Dutch female-fronted metallers AFTER FOREVER will perform a special gig with a wind orchestra, Orpheus, on Thursday, December 22 at 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands.

Founded in 1864, the Tilburg-based Orpheus will start off the evening with a special set consisting of six classics from the history of rock music. After this, Orpheus will be joined on stage by AFTER FOREVER and together they will perform a set of nine songs spanning AFTER FOREVER's entire career. The arrangements for this were made by Ron Antens.

AFTER FOREVER have issued the following report on the first rehearsal sessions with the Orpheus orchestra:

"On Sunday [November] 27th we went to Tilburg (The Netherlands) to do a rehearsal with Orpheus. Orpheus is the orchestra where we will do a very exclusive and special show with in 013, Tilburg on the 22nd of December.

"This was the first time the orchestra and AFTER FOREVER played together. A very exciting moment!!! You can check out some pictures of the rehearsal at our photogallery.

"There were about 60 people from Orpheus and of course the 6 members of AFTER FOREVER, all in one hall. It was quite a challenge to get the sound good, despite the fact that the orchestra outnumbered AFTER FOREVER, they couldn’t win it with the volume because we had to play electric and the orchestra was all acoustic. After a few try-outs, we found the right mix and started playing the songs we will perform together from the AFTER FOREVER material. There are 9 songs we'll play together. Before that, AFTER FOREVER will play some songs without the orchestra.

"The rehearsal was very successful, the sound of AFTER FOREVER and Orpheus together was amazing, something you don't want to miss!!!"

AFTER FOREVER's fourth full-length album, "Remagine", is available now on Transmission Records. The follow-up to 2004's "Invisible Circles" was recorded at Excess studio in Rotterdam, Holland and was mixed by Sascha Paeth and Philip Colodetti at the Gate studio in Wolfsburg, Germany.
