The Afterimage sign w/ Tragic Hero, debut new song

The Afterimage Tragic Hero Records has officially signed Toronto, Ontario metalcore act The Afterimage. The band's eight-song label debut is titled Lumière and will hit streets on August 28. Pre-orders are now live here. Today we're exclusively premiering a song from the new outing. You can stream "Follow" below. Formed in 2012, frontman Kyle Anderson describes the band's transformation since its inception in this manner: "We started as a project that showcased technicality and precision at the heavier end of the musical spectrum. Now we're primarily focused on creating the most captivating songs, with heavy passages used merely as one of a number of dynamics." In related news, The Afterimage will soon be touring with Erra and Polyphia. Dates can be found here.

Finally. These guys really do deserve some attention. However - they definitely need to work on actually releasing things, ONYX was so long ago!

Wow, what a step backwards. They went from good to terrible, I'd say rather quickly, but given the massive gaps in material being released, might as well consider a name change. This isn't really the afterimage.
