After...
came into existence in June 2002 as a continuation of Awake group.
Sylwia Wojciechowska took charge of vocalist, from Apogeum band joined
Mariusz Ziolkowski, drum player became Radek Wieckowski, who has played
in few local bands before. Soon Tomek Wisniewski supported the band.
In new personnel, full of zest enthusiasm they started common rehearses.
The band soon started producing material, which was thought to account
for their debut album. One year later, in September 2002 After... started
recording at ISLAND STUDIO and at the City's Theatre in Inowroclaw.
Choosing Zbyszek Florek as a sound engeenier was a perfect decision.
From the first hours of common work there was an excellent atmosphere
what brought many interesting, not only musical, ideas.
Unfortunately due to Zbyszek Florek's and the band member's duty recording
was stopped and delayed. Meanwhile Quidam revived with Mariusz Ziolkowski
on bass. After... debut album was slowly creating.

vocalist became Krzysiek Drogowski. Soon to common records was invited
Colin Bass (Camel), Josef Skrzek (SBB) and Jacek Zasada (Quidam).
