AfterImage (sometimes spelled as After Image) is a Filipino rock band formed in 1987,[2] best known for their songs "Habang May Buhay", "Next in Line", and "Mangarap Ka". They disbanded in 1997 and became active again in 2008 after they reunited and released their fourth studio album. After disbanding in 1997, Wency Cornejo, the band's vocalist, pursued a solo career.

In January 1992, the band signed with Dyna Records, The band's first album, entitled Touch the Sun, was released in July 1992.[3][4] Among the eight songs that the album contained, four were released as singles: "Next in Line", "Bai (Sa Langit ang Ating Tagpuan)", "Only You", and "Pagtawid". The title of the album, which was the concluding part of the lyric to "Next in Line", was said[by whom?] to have just been a spontaneous utterance of a phrase which Cornejo made during the recording session for the said song. [5]

History

[edit | edit source]

The band was composed of five members: Bobit Uson on bass guitar, Chuck Isidro on lead guitar, Rogie Callejo on drums, Arnold Cabalza on keyboards and Wency Cornejo on vocals. Francis Reyes was the former guitarist of the band before Chuck Isidro took his role.

In 1994 at the height of the first band craze in the Philippine music scene, AfterImage released their second album titled Tag-Ulan, Tag-Araw. The album's name was taken from two singles from the album. "Tag-ulan", the album's carrier single, topped various charts in the Philippines and was awarded a Gold Record Award, and later the follow-up single "Mangarap Ka" also became a huge hit for the band. They also won the first NU Rock Award for Artist of the Year in the same year.[6][7] At the 1995 Awit Awards the album Tag-Ulan, Tag-Araw was named Album of the Year.[6] A few months after winning the awards, Niño Mesina became the band's newest bassist leading Bobit Uson to play guitar alongside Chuck Isidro.

In 1996, the band released their 3rd album "Bagong Araw".[8][9]

In 1997, AfterImage disbanded due to management conflicts. After 11 years of disbandment, the band reunited in 2008 for their new album, Our Place Under the Sun.[10] from Viva Records, 12 years since their last album in 1996 from Dyna Records.
