Afterimage (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Afterimage was one of the most successful Filipino pop/rock bands in the '90s. Unfortunately, the group disbanded after 11 years and three hit albums. Wency Cornejo, the band vocalist, then, pursued a solo career. Afterimage is best remembered for their hit songs such as "Habang May Buhay", "Next In Line", and "Mangarap Ka".
The First album of the band was released 1992 under Dyna Records. Touch The Sun - which contains 8 songs and 4 of them are considered rock classics ("Bai", " Only You", "Next In Line" and "Pagtawid"). The title Touch The Sun is a phrase from the track "Next In Line". It is said that Wency just accidentally blurted it out the recording session. The band thinks it captures what the songs in the album is all about - life in its fiery form. It symbolizes hopes frustrations and, more importantly the kind of renewal they feel within themselves as they touch other people's lives.
The album is also said to be a celebration of about 4 years of musical experimentation. According to them ,"It is quite difficult to put all the songs in the album in one perspective, considering they encompass so many growths the band has undergone."
Composed of five memebers: Bobit Uson on Bass Guitar, Chuck Isidro on Lead Guitar, Rogie Callejo on Drums, Arnold Cabalza on keyboards and Wency Cornejo on vocals.
