After Forever Compilation on Transmission Records
 You would never think so from their youthful looks, but the Dutch symphonic gothic metal band After Forever has been around for ten years now. This has been a period in which the group manifested themselves on national and international stages, gave interviews for innumerable music magazines and were heard on various sound recording media. Four albums, one mini album and eigth CD-singles managed to find their way to the wildly enthusiastic fans.
2006 is more than just an anniversary year; it is also a turning point in the career of the band. You see, after six years After Forever’s collaboration with Transmission was terminated, the label that placed the band on the market and freed them from the constraints of mediocrity.
Mea Culpa contains the best tracks that After Forever recorded for the Transmission Label. Included you will find joint ventures with celebrities such as Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), Arjen Lucassen and Damian Wilson (Ayreon) and Marco Hietala (Nightwish), complete with previously unreleased material, non-album tracks, alternate takes, rarities and previously unreleased remixed versions.
The double-album has been subdivided into two chapters. The first Chapter covers the period with guitarist / composer / lyricist Mark Jansen, at one time jocularly described by Jansen himself as “The Road To Epica.” Chapter 2 contains songs which the group recorded after Jansen’s changeover to Epica; a period in which After Forever masterfully spread their wings and proved themselves to be one of the most interesting and powerful female-fronted metal bands in the world.
Mea Culpa – the Latin title refers to the fertile Roman-Catholic native region in the South of The Netherlands from which the band originates, which proved to be the perfect cradle for an entire wave of gothic groups – is not, as malicious gossip may have it, the beginning of the end. On the contrary: this collection simply marks the end of the beginning.
