AD INFINITUM – Abyss (2024)
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, dark at places, poppy at others.
On this new album, gripping, rhythmic riffs, infectious choruses, heavy breakdowns and singer Melissa Bonny’s increasingly versatile vocal approach present the band evolving in songwriting. The CD kick 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, then “Euphoria“ transports listeners to ethereal soundscapes, seamlessly blending genres from catchy pop to visceral Metal, creating a unique blend.
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’s remarkable vocal abilities while giving ample space for impressive guitar work.
The album culminates with “Dead End“, a catchy finale that leaves a lasting impression.
”Abyss” is an ambitious, skilled tour de force showcasing AD INFINITUM’s vast creativity and variety of inspirations, a band trying something different in the overcrowded female fronted modern metal scene.
