Switzerland's fast-rising modern metallers Ad Infinitum redefine their sound as they look to the future with their upcoming album, Abyss, due on 11 October via Napalm Records! Since breaking into the scene in 2020, Ad Infinitum has experienced a remarkable rise, evolving its musical style with each release. While its earlier offerings showcased a symphonic metal approach, Abyss reveals a new side of Ad Infinitum, marking its most dynamic, modern and progressive record.
The band has offered the second taste of what's to come (the first was "Outer Space" in April) by unleashing the mesmerizing and catchy opening track and video, "My Halo", featuring powerful breakdowns and setting the tone for the album.
Ad Infinitum on "My Halo": "Our brand-new single, 'My Halo', is out, and with it, the announcement of not only our upcoming album, Abyss, but also our next album trilogy. This is our most elaborate, intimate and unapologetic work yet with the Ad Infinitum signature sound, playing with new sounds and swimming in darker waters".
On the new album Abyss, gripping, rhythmic riffs, infectious choruses, heavy breakdowns and singer Melissa Bonny's inimitable and increasingly versatile vocal approach present the band at the very top of their game - proving that these hard-working, ever-rising stars never fail at surprising their fans and critics alike.
Ad Infinitum on Abyss: "Welcome to a new page of the Ad Infinitum story, where a new era begins. A journey connecting three albums, starting in the ominous darkness of Abyss, out on October 11th. The journey will continue through the hope and empowerment found at the Surface, and end in the freeing and energizing dreamscapes of Elysium. We are extremely impatient to present this new record, as well as not only the beautiful artworks and videos depicting its universe but the captivating visual storyline connecting each video to the next. This is our most elaborate, intimate and unapologetic work yet!"
Abyss soars as a modern metal masterpiece. After the opener "My Halo", the intensity continues with "Follow Me Down", driven by entrancing riffs that solidify the band's technical prowess. "Aftermath" highlights Ad Infinitum's energetic and experimental side, delivering potent growls and innovative compositions. "Euphoria" transports listeners to ethereal soundscapes, seamlessly blending genres from catchy pop to visceral alt-metal, creating a unique and captivating experience. The mystic "The One You'll Hold On To" follows with its powerful guitar riffs and haunting melodies, leading into the infectious "Parasite". This track spotlights Melissa Bonny's remarkable vocal abilities while giving ample space for impressive guitar work. The album culminates with "Dead End", a gripping, catchy finale that leaves a lasting impression. Abyss is an unmatched, skilled tour de force showcasing Ad Infinitum's vast creativity and variety of inspirations. Link
