Ad Infinitum - 'Surrender' (official music video)

Lost in the rhythm
Between the lights and the sounds
Can hear you breathing
And feel the pulse in the ground
My heart is beating
No, you can’t turn back anymore

Chills down my spine

Call me the Devil
You can blame me for your sins
Deny the flames of
This violet chemistry
Exhilarating
When everyone is watching

No I don’t really want to go
This is what I’ve been looking for
Tomorrow is unknown
Stay here for a minute, yeah just a minute
What if we just go?

Floating
Between the oceans and skies
Can’t stop the feeling
It comes out at night
When I am lonely
So don’t leave here all alone

I don’t wanna know
If tomorrow’s given yeah if it’s given

What if we just left the world at the door
Threw away the keys, no worries, no more
What if we just sailed away from this shore
Losing my cool, oh tell me I’m not a fool
What if we just let it go?

We’re a bunch of fucking animals
But we’re so civilized
We’re a bunch of fucking animals
Yet we’re so civilized
I don’t wanna know
If tomorrow’s given yeah if it’s given

What if we just left the world at the door
Threw away the keys, no worries, no more
What if we just sailed away from this shore
Losing my cool, oh tell me I’m not a fool
What if we just, we just...

Left the world at the door
Threw away the keys, no worries, no more
What if we just sailed away from this shore
Losing my cool, oh tell me I’m not a fool
What if we just let it...

Οι Ad Infinitum μας έρχονται από την Ελβετία. Δημιουργήθηκαν προ εξααετίας και μας συστήνονται ως «European modern symphonic metal band». Άκρως ενεργοί δισκογραφικά καθώς έχουν κυκλοφορήσει ήδη τέσσερα full length albums (συν μία συλλογή και κάποια singles). Το πέμπτο φέρει τον τίτλο "Abyss" και αναμένεται τον δεύτερο φθινοπωρινό μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Swiss / German modern metal frontrunners Ad Infinitum redefine their sound as they look to the future with their upcoming album, Abyss, out October 11, 2024 via Napalm Records.

Since breaking out into the scene in 2020, Ad Infinitum has experienced a remarkable rise, evolving their musical style with each release. While their earlier offerings showcased a symphonic metal approach, Abyss reveals a whole new side of Ad Infinitum, marking their most dynamic, modern and progressive record to date.

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 in surprising their fans and critics alike.

Ad Infinitum is Melissa Bonny (vocals), Adrian Thessenvitz (guitars), Korbinian Benedict (bass) and Niklas Müller (drums).

Abyss soars as a modern metal masterpiece, kicking off with the mesmerizing and catchy “My Halo“, featuring powerful breakdowns and setting the tone for the album. 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.

With their spellbinding releases, Ad Infinitum have reached millions of fans on streaming and video platforms worldwide, with over 4.2M views for their hit “Unstoppable” alone.

Furthermore, frontwoman Melissa Bonny is consistently drawn to exciting musical collaborations, demonstrating her matchless talent as featured guest for bands like Kamelot, Feuerschwanz and dArtagnan.

2024 has been a landmark year for the four-piece, highlighted by their US tour with symphonic metal masters Kamelot and power metal veterans Hammerfall.

In early 2025, and following the release of Abyss, they are set to embark on a European tour with folk metal pioneers Eluveitie and label-mates Infected Rain.

This latest chapter marks a turn in their ascendant journey, with Abyss promising to leave a lasting impression on the modern metal scene.»
