Swiss/German modern metal frontrunners AD INFINITUM make a stand by releasing the next staggering offering and new single “Surrender” cut from their upcoming album, Abyss, out October 11, 2024 via Napalm Records! On Abyss, the international four-piece is redefining its sound, making it their most dynamic, modern and progressive record to date.
“Surrender” beams with shimmering soundscapes, eruptive breakdowns and a celestial vocal attack by singer Melissa Bonny, ranging from stellar clear singing to harsh and aggressive growls. 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. Check out the captivating official music video for “Surrender”, and pre-order your copy of Abyss now!
In fall of this year, AD INFINITUM will bring their new songs to stages in various cities when they support label mates Kamelot on their Awaken The World Tour 2024. Afterward, the band will then join Eluveitie for their Ánv Rising – Europe PT I tour in early 2025.
AD INFINITUM on “Surrender”:
"'Surrender' is the song we've been waiting to release since the moment we created it. It's just us doing our thing without any boundaries, boxes, or outsider expectations—unapologetically. The song is paired with a music video that crosses over into another form of art, perfectly fitting the mood. We are excited to hear how people will receive it!"
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 in surprising their fans and critics alike. AD INFINITUM is Melissa Bonny (vocals), Adrian Thessenvitz (guitars), Korbinian Benedict (bass) and Niklas Müller (drums).
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 beautiful 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.
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.
