Rating: After 3 years from the marvelous "Decipher", one of the best albums of 2001, the Dutch After Forever return with a new work: "Invisible Circles."
In my opinion, with this album, After Forever prove themselves to be the best in the North European symphonic scene: Thanks especially to the wonderful voice of Floor Jansen, creator of beautiful melodies. The sound has slightly changed compared to "Decipher", mainly due to the departure of guitarist-composer Mark Jansen, now in Epica: the orchestral contribution hasn't changed, but the guitars are harsher and more present than ever, and the drums in many instances are almost prog.
It's impossible for me to choose the best track, given the extraordinary beauty of each one.
After Forever remain masters of emotion.
Not soporific and mainstream like Within Temptation, not cold like Epica, not gaudy like Nemesea: simply After Forever.
