AFTER FOREVER Cancels METAL FEMALE VOICES FEST V Appearance

May 5, 2007

Dutch female-fronted symphonic metal outfit AFTER FOREVER has cancelled its previously announced appearance at the Metal Female Voices Fest V, set to take place Saturday, October 20, 2007 at Oktoberhallen in Wieze, Belgium.

"Due to the release of our album 'After Forever' in North America in that period, we have obligations there regarding promotion and touring which makes it not possible to do our show on this great festival," the band writes on its web site.

"Since we know that lots of fans were waiting for this gig, we will do our best to look for other opportunities to do a special show in order to make this up to you all!"

The remaining dates on the Earthshaker Roadshock tour — featuring AFTER FOREVER alongside FINNTROLL, TAROT, DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER, MACHINE MEN and ALL ENDS — have been cancelled. Last night's concert (May 4) in Nürnberg, Germany was the final show of the trek. A 14-minute video clip of AFTER FOREVER performing in Hamburg, Germany on April 29 has been posted at Google Video.

As previously reported, AFTER FOREVER's "Energize Me" single has climbed from position No. 95 to No. 65 on the Dutch chart. The band's video for "Energize Me" has been posted online at YouTube.com. The clip was shot in February in Amsterdam, Holland. The "Energize Me" single was released on March 23, featuring the songs "Energize Me" (radio edit),"Energize Me" (album version),"Sweet Enclosure" (non-album track).

AFTER FOREVER will embark on a North American tour in October.
