In 2019, Aymerick starded composing the first songs. These drafts would become, after years of work, the six tracks forming the EP BLACK BOX. Despite a well-crafted creative process, ideas that flowed and a musical direction that took shape, the covid pandemic and the search for the right line-up for the AFTER THE OUTBREAK project postponed its release.
In 2023, AFTER THE OUTBREAK went on stage several times to introduce BLACK BOX’s tracks live. These performances allowed us to strengthen our cohesion and test the impact of our music on the public.
Finally, in October 2024, the EP officially emerged with the release of the single Iced Heart and its video, followed by the singles Escape and Reaching Out. Recorded with La Forme Du Son for the vocals and mixed/mastered by Convulsound, BLACKBOX embodies everything we wanted to express from the very beginning.
In addition to marrying sharp riffs and striking melodies, the 6 tracks of the EP address topics such as society, in its good sides and contradictions, introspection, the human condition in all its complexity and history in its failures and lessons learned; all of this makes Black Box an intense and sincere journey that can resonate with everyone.
This EP is the foundation of the musical universe of AFTER THE OUTBREAK, paving the way for future projects: in parallel, between 2022 and 2024, we worked on a new EP, already mixed and mastered. It will represent, when released in the coming months, a new step in the musical evolution of the group.
We hope that you will be as enthusiastic as we are when listening to this EP that we will try to show on stage in 2025!
