Afterimage - Bio, Albums, Songs and Lyrics - OPM Filipino MusicAfterimage is a band of pop rock in the Philippines. The group disbanded after 11 years being together and made a comeback this 2008. Some their popularized songs were Habang May Buhay, Next In Line and Mangarap Ka. Afterimage was formed and active in 1990. Five members composed the band. Bobit Unson was the bass guitarist and Francis Reyes on Lead Guitars. Francis Reyes eventually replaced by Chuck Isidro of 6cyclemind. Rogie Callejo played the drums while Arnold Cabalza took the keyboardist’s responsibilities. Wency Cornejo was assigned to do the vocals. Touch The Sun was the title of Afterimage’s debut album which was released under Dyna Records on 1992. It contained 8 tracks, spawning four singles namely: Bai, Only You, Next In Line and Pagtawid. The title Touch The Sun was taken out from the phrase of Next In Line. It was said that the phrase was accidentally blurted out by Wency Cornejo during the recording session. Thinking it captured the meaning of the album- life in its fiery form, they used the phrase as a title as it represents hopes, frustrations and most importantly, the kind of renewal felt inside as they touch other lives. On 1994, Afterimage released their second album at the height of band craze in the Philippine music scene. The album was dubbed as Tag-Araw, Tag-Ulan. The title took its name from the two singles from the album. It boasts its carrier single, Tag-Ulan which topped several charts in the country. The album was awarded its Gold Record awards later that year. Mangarap Ka, their follow-up single also became a great hit for the band. After 11 years of sojourn in music scenery, Afterimage officially disbanded on 2001. Manager conflict was said to be the reason for such action. Wency Cornejo, the band’s vocalist pursued a solo career after the dissolution of the band. 7 years after being disbanded, the group made a comeback this year 2008. They returned with a new album entitled The Place In The Sun boasting Musikero as its carrier single. The album was released under Viva Records. Musikero is the first and official music video from the album. Aside from the said single, fans will surely enjoy other 11 tracks of rock and heavy ballads. It is nice to see a former band grouped again together, making music and doing things they used to be. Afterimage have grown and is a whole lot better than before. Albums
