After Forever provides examples of the following tropes:
- Abusive Parents - The theme of Invisible Circles.
- A Good Name for a Rock Band - The band is named after a Black Sabbath song.
- Cover Version - "Who Wants To Live Forever", "One Day I'll Fly Away", and "The Evil That Men Do". (Originally performed by Queen, Randy Crawford, and Iron Maiden respectively.)
- Death Growl
- Epic Rocking: Dreamflight on their self titled album.
- Green Aesop - "Equally Destructive"
- Rock Opera - Invisible Circles
- Religion Rant Song: Their "Embrace That Smothers" which flew over onto Epica's work through the Mark Jansen connection.
- Self-Titled Album - Oddly enough, their last album.
- Soprano and Gravel
- Start My Own - Mark Jansen (no relation to Floor), their original guitarist, left due to Creative Differences and went on to form Epica.
- Stepford Smiler - "Strong" is about a Type A.
- Symphonic Metal
- Tall, Dark and Bishoujo - Floor Jansen definitely has the "tall" bit down, standing at a lofty six feet.
- Write What You Know - Sander Gommans encountered many abused children while working as an art teacher, which inspired Invisible Circles.
