Marking the first release after the extensive The Obsession (2024) album cycle, the former Delain vocalist and what has since grown into a full band showcase their trademark storytelling and unique sound. Hypnotic, captivating, and deeply urgent, \u201cAfter Us, The Flood\u201d builds from symphonic, intimate passages into an explosive metal climax, all held together by Charlotte Wessels\u2019 charismatic and expressive voice.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past several years, Charlotte has impressively shaped her artistic identity as an artist \u2013 from the two full-length song compilations Tales From Six Feet Under (2021) and Tales From Six Feet Under Vol. II (2022) to her first full studio album, The Obsession (2024). Throughout this journey, she has delivered top-notch music that is emotive, sonically sophisticated, and heavy in equal measure. \u201cAfter Us, The Flood\u201d is the first new release following The Obsession created with the band now carrying that album\u2019s name. Joost van den Broek joined the production process and mixed the song, helping shape its final form.<\/p>\n<p>While continuing to write, record and release a new song every month on Patreon, Charlotte never shies away from drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical styles, resulting in enthralling music that defies pigeonholing yet always carries a distinctive artistic signature.<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte Wessels about \u201cAfter Us, The Flood\u201d: \u201c\u2019After Us, The Flood\u2019 is a song about climate change, told through the eyes of someone who has convinced himself it isn\u2019t real. He feels protected within the walls of his own home while the world outside quietly begins to fall apart. As the song unfolds (spoilers!) that sense of safety proves to be an illusion; the decay he\u2019s ignored eventually finds its way inside. We poured a lot of heart into this track, shaping a sonic story about denial, dread, and the fragile comfort of looking away. The video doesn\u2019t literally follow the lyrics, but instead imagines the consequences of that mindset, offering a symbolic glimpse of a world where wealth loses all meaning once the planet as we know it is gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch the official music video for \u201cAfter Us, The Flood\u201d:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Charlotte Wessels&#039; The Obsession - After Us, The Flood (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p_Lg-ZflaSY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>After touring with Scandinavian prog metal unit Vola and coming off of a successful summer run, playing the biggest metal festivals from Belgian Graspop and French Hellfest to German Summer Breeze and Dynmo in her Dutch home to only name a few, the singer-songwriter will soon be enchanting live audiences again: starting this Friday, January 16, Charlotte Wessels\u2019 The Obsession (Joey Marin de Boer (drums), Timo Somers (guitars), and Otto Schimmelpenninck van der Oije (bass) and Nina van Beelen (keys)) will be joining Amaranthe and Epica on their \u201cArcane Dimensions Tour\u201d.
