Article description

AD INFINITUM will once again heat up the scene in 2023 with their highly anticipated third studio album, Chapter III – Downfall, set to be released on March 31st. The unmistakable sound of the quartet, with its powerful and almost progressive riffs, symphonic nuances, captivating refrains, and Melissa Bonny's unique vocal versatility, has led to an unstoppable rise in the metal world, which is now impressively propelled further with Chapter III – Downfall. This latest work underscores the previous success of the high-energy formation, consisting of Melissa Bonny (vocals), Adrian Thessenvitz (guitar), Korbinian Benedict (bass), and Niklas MΓΌller (drums), which is reflected in millions of video views and streams worldwide since the release of their debut album in 2020.

Chapter III – Downfall enchants with an innovative sound full of melodic splendor, offering a harmonious counterpart to dark, almost Gothic-like tones, creating a unity. AD INFINITUM explores ancient Egyptian history and mythology, striking a perfect balance between storytelling and technically refined songwriting, with the sophistication of the band evident in both production and lyrics. Captivating instrumental parts, thundering drums, grooving riffs, precise solos, and magical orchestral parts form the foundation of this enchanting sonic world, adequately accompanied by frontwoman Melissa Bonny's crystal-clear vocals and compelling growls. The opening track, 'Eternal Rains,' immediately takes the listener's breath away with its captivating chorus, followed by the eclectic 'Upside Down,' defying all rules as it combines epic melodies and demonic growls with finesse. 'Seth' impresses with its powerful modern sound, creating an atmosphere that will blow fans' minds, while 'From The Ashes' impresses with reminiscences of artists like Meshuggah, proving that AD INFINITUM is always a guarantee for surprises. 'Somewhere Better' creates a perfect symbiosis of biting vocals and ethereal soundscapes, transporting the listener to a distant world. 'Under The Burning Skies' belches out its haunting vocals towards the horizon and then unfolds into an intense mid-tempo ballad. As a special surprise, AD INFINITUM welcomes Chrigel Glanzmann from Eluveitie on Chapter III – Downfall, lending his voice for the atmospheric introduction of 'Legends' and paving the way for a touch of Middle Eastern-inspired Djent.

Produced by AD INFINITUM and Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, Chapter III – Downfall shows that this emerging band can effortlessly turn the genre upside down by giving it contemporary vibes without losing its musical origins, while delighting all metal fans on their journey to the top!'
