Ad Infinitum - 'Follow Me Down' (official music video)

Picking up the pieces
When the silence has a meaning
There's movie playing in my head
And it goes on and on and on and on

Dancing in the dark
I really thought that I'd find a way out
All the memories by my side keep me alive
Leave me here
Or follow me down

Questioning my senses
Not immune to second guesses
Gotta find out where my mind is
'Cause this goes on and on and on and on

Dancing in the dark
I really thought that I'd find a way out
All the memories by my side keep me alive
Leave me here
Or follow me down

Just follow me down

Six feet under the ground
I'm reaching for the sun
My demons pull me down
Into the unknown
Six feet under the ground
Oh, I'm still reaching for the sun

Dancing in the dark
I really thought that I'd find a way out
All the memories by my side keep me alive
Leave me here
Or follow me
Dancing in the dark
I really thought that I'd find a way out
All the memories by my side (Keep me alive)
Leave me here
Or follow me down

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 κυκλοφόρησε σήμερα...

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.»
