Dobar bend ali ipak mi je After Forever bolji.

jedan od mojih najdražih bendova.
simone ima super glas, može pivati sve, i svakim albumom je sve bolja. i markov growl se popravlja, na the phantom agony je zvuèa ko neka divlja maèka.
najbolji mi je zadnji album (sancta terra - savršeno).

i after forever NIJE bolji, iako se klanjam floor.
