Swiss female-fronted symphonic metal outfit Ad Infinitum return with their bewitching second offering, Chapter II - Legacy, out on the 29th of October via Napalm Records! After dropping their debut back in 2020 and with its very first single, "Marching On Versailles", riding high at more than 1.8M video views to date, the highly talented unit didn't put the brakes on. Instead, they transformed pandemic fatigue into heavier soundscapes without sacrificing their signature aura.
As a first glimpse of what can be expected from the album is delivered by vibrant first single "Unstoppable", alongside an explosive music video. The song reflects the band's attitude in the best way and immediately catches the listener with its intriguing chorus.
Ad Infinitum on the new single: "We are very happy to finally unveil the first track from our upcoming album, Chapter II - Legacy. Saying that we've been impatient to share our work on this record is an understatement. We hope you will enjoy - as much as we do - the first taste of an album that represents the evolution and growth of the band very well."
Chapter II - Legacy surprises with a melting pot of different influences and a contrast between super heavy riffs, sometimes even djent/metalcore-like touches and catchy hook lines and melodies, giving the band's sophomore album a modern and equally timeless touch. The lyrics have, just like on their debut album, been inspired by a historical figure: the paradoxical life and afterlife of Vlad The Impaler, also known as Dracula, inspired the themes and questions of this album.
Ad Infinitum add: "Chapter II - Legacy holds a very special place in our heart. It represents months and months of hard work of four bandmates, for a result that we are proud to call "self-produced". For this record, we decided to work without the influence of an external producer during the songwriting process and to team up with Elias Holmlid for the beautiful and epic orchestrations and of course with Jacob Hansen who recorded [vocals], mixed, mastered and participated to the post-production. A younger and heavier sound that defines Ad Infinitum like never before." Link
