Author Benedetta Baldin - 10.10.2024

Today, fresh metal front runners Ad Infinitum release their new single “Follow me Down“, from the upcoming album “Abyss”, out tomorrow, October 11, 2024 via Napalm Records! The track showcases gripping riffs that highlight the band’s technical prowess and memorable refrains. Founded in 2018, Ad Infinitum have released three acclaimed studio albums, building a dedicated fanbase with their expansive and bombastic songwriting. On “Abyss”, Ad Infinitum take their sound to to the next level, evolving into one of the most exciting new modern metal bands. 
 
Ad Infinitum’s frontwoman Melissa Bonny is consistently drawn to exciting musical collaborations, demonstrating her matchless talent as featured guest for bands like KamelotFeuerschwanz and dArtagnan. Right after the release of “Abyss”, Ad Infinitum will support Kamelot on tour together with Frozen Crown and Blackbriar. In early 2025 the band will embark on another European tour alongside folk metal pioneers Eluveitie and labelmates Infected Rain.

Abyss is just around the corner, and we’ve got one more treat before the big day, which we are excited to share: ‘Follow me Down’ – an energetic song that will have its debut on stage tomorrow!

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).

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!
