Game-Changing New Album, Chapter III – Downfall,
out March 31, 2023 via Napalm Records | Pre-Order NOW!
Since the release of their debut album in 2020, rising modern symphonic metal stars AD INFINITUM have stirred up the scene, and are now about to unveil their electrifying third studio album, Chapter III – Downfall,
out March 31 via Napalm Records. Consisting of catchy anthems and
heavy, modern riffs paired with the vicious vocal melodies of the
incredibly talented Melissa Bonny, AD INFINITUM's unique sound has garnered them millions of video views to date on hits like “Marching on Versailles” and “Unstoppable”. This next mesmerizing offering provides another wave of proof of their breakout success.
With their powerful first single, “Upside Down“,
the multinational band garnered over 250k views on YouTube within just a
few days. Now, after returning from several sold out shows on their
expanded European and UK tour with Amaranthe, Beyond The Black and Butcher Babies, they have unleashed their next appetizer, “Somewhere Better”.
The new track creates an ethereal, catchy soundscape with screaming
guitars colliding with vocalist Melissa Bonny’s haunting, perfectly
contrasting voice. Underlining the ballad’s captivating feeling, its
video creates a perfect symbiosis both musically and visually, carrying
the listener into the new world of AD INFINITUM.
AD INFINITUM on “Somewhere Better“:
“After playing “Somewhere Better” on tour and sharing fantastic and
emotional moments with thousands of people all around Europe and the UK,
we are thrilled to release this song, together with a video full of
memories of our tour with Amaranthe, Beyond the Black and Butcher Babies. Warm greetings to all the people who will spot themselves in this video!”

Chapter III – Downfall
bewitches with an innovative sound full of soaring melodic splendor
juxtaposed against brooding, dark and even gothic heaviness. Exploring
concepts of Ancient Egyptian history and mythology, AD INFINITUM
melds a perfect balance of storytelling and technically sophisticated
songwriting, spreading their wings in both areas of production and
lyricism. Charging instrumentals, pounding drums, chunky, grooving
riffs, mind-boggling solos and enchanting orchestrations build the
band's unique world of sound as frontwoman-to-watch Melissa Bonny’s
soul-stirring cleans and haunting growls put her incredible vocal range
on display - dropping jaws with each line.
Produced by AD INFINITUM and Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, Chapter III – Downfall showcases
that this up-and-coming quartet can effortlessly turn the genre upside
down, gracing it with contemporary vibes without forgoing their
signature metal origins, and thrilling all metal fans as they rise to
the top!
AD INFINITUM add:
“The word is out, Chapter III - Downfall is on its
way! For this album, we explored stories and legends of Ancient Egypt
with, as star character and main inspiration, Cleopatra. We added some
extra dimension and sounds to our signature AD INFINITUM
sound to create an extra dimension, transporting the listener to
mystical landscapes of another era. We are beyond excited to start to
unveil this new record!“
