I'm so glad artists have finally begun to realize that making their music available for free won't stop people from buying it. In fact, I just purchased this album, and I never would have if I couldn't have heard the whole thing beforehand. So thank you, Ad Infinitum, because this free exposure just got you a new fan.
Streaming music also makes artists money.
I've been saying this same thing for a long time, if you take a chance and buy an album outright just to see if you like it, and then you don't, your less likely to buy another album from said artist on a whim again.
Huh, having just listened to the album right through, I was just thinking that I'd go online and buy it!
I'm amazed that bands who have reaction videos pulled (thinking Tool and Metallica for example) have yet to understand that it's free advertising for them. About 18 months ago, I stumbled upon Sleeping Sun by Nightwish, and that totally sucked my into the Melodic/Symphonic Metal Genre, and within a matter of months I had bought fourty-four CDs of that genre, *plus* Unleash the Archers and Jinjer. I love every single one of those albums (to a more or lesser degree). I'm also about to buy Ignea's three albums. Just a moment ago I went and bought Ad Infinitum's new album. All because I stumbled upon a single song, for free, on You Tube.
@@AerologyGuitars Yeah, but they get a pittance. I'll continue to buy CDs (or other physical media) for as long as they are available. I'll always have them, I can rip them to improved formats as they develop, and no streaming service can take them away from me one day to the next (it happens!), especially if they go bust!
I totally agree with this philosophy, and I have just bought the album myself. Another new fan!

Everything Melissa touches, is pure awesomeness and a pleasure to listen to
Love her she has never been better tho and got her a great band around her hope they kick ass for many year's to come.
@@Thomas.Wright, I am bad with keeping people straight. What else has she done?
@@lightdrgn20 Evenmore, and more recently Rage of Light.
I agree. While I like/love Evenmore and Rage of Light this band/album is the best of Melissa Bonny.
Yes sir!
Ladies and gentlemen, the star is born 👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘
Melissa is No 1!!!
This band is awesome! Im a simple guy, I see Melissa Bonny, i press like! Her music is awesome!!!
That I didn’t know of the lovely Ms. Bonny until yesterday is proof of how stupid CZcams’s recommendations is. What a musical talent! She sings like and angel and growls like a demon. She writes beautiful music. She plays the guitar. She is a smart business woman within the music industry. And upon all these talents, she’s stunningly gorgeous! This young woman has it all!!
I discovered her through Warkings actually
Agreed
What is amazing to me, at 32 years old, I've listened to countless artists and been to countless shows, but I literally cannot listen to this album enough!
It is absolutely perfection! Melissa's vocals are phenomenal, always have been. Now coupled with the rest of the amazing members, they've created a beast I cannot stop listening to!
At 48 I couldn't agree more.
I can honestly say this is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Very well produced, captivating vocals, superior musicianship, and a true pleasure to listen to. Kudos!
I didn't know of this band before and only found them by accident here on YT, but they are great. Love from Germany. :-)
Pretty sure this is their first album, and it was released yesterday, so you're not the only one who didn't know them before.
Not by accident. It was willed by fate
@@awesimo4684 She is a great metal singer you can hear early projects like Rage of light where she scream very loud
Same thing happened to me last night, I'm not sorry about it. Love from the USA.
This whole Chapter 1 is a masterpiece. Timeless
One of the best new bands!!!!!
These female-fronted metal bands are trying hard to save 2020 and Im here for it.
you should check out Asagraum. Full female act. AMAZING. AS. FUCK.
Then, you will like Arch Enemy, Jinjer, Girschool and Crucified Barbara
Unleash the Archers - Abyss is album of the year for me, easily.
Unfortunately they can't undo voter fraud.

Infected Monarchy
Far away from your golden dreams
For our own sake, we despise your infected monarchy
Every story starts with "Once upon a time"
With the bravest hearts, but we've a different path
Our story starts, struggles and fights, away from the light
From the golden class, we're under different stars
If you walk by the shores
When the last, when the last light is gone
If you walk all alone
You might hear, you might hear our song
Far away
Where we belong
We ran away
To the doors of paradise and beyond
We found a place
Where passions ignite
May our voices resound through the night, through the night
Illusions of truth in everything you do
Behind your reverences the devil starts to dance
Your twisted minds, cold and blind, never really shine
It's just a mascarade, everyone plays the same game
If you walk by the shores
When the last, when the last light is gone
If you walk all alone
You might hear, you might hear our song
If you walk all alone
You might hear, you might hear our song
🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵
Lacuna Coil meets Nightwish. I'd almost forgotten how much I love this genre of music.
Art....that’s what this album is...it’s ART!
The best production value of all the albums released this year.
Bands that I truly appreciate I buy physical medium and merch from. To reach that level of appreciation I first watch them on CZcams, if I like it I download on Spotify, if I keep on liking it I buy physical stuff. Every Epica vinyl is on my shelf for instance.
This band has great potential. Really like this Album.
how have i only discovered this band now...the music is superb and the vocalist voice is divine...
Because they've only *been* a band since April 3, 2020. (Not literally, but you get what I mean).
I just discovered this band today. For some context, ever since 2017, I've been making collages of the albums that have come out that year from bands that I listen to. In 2017, there were about six albums. In 2018, there were seven. In 2019, only four. This year has TWELVE. Mind you, I have already made the collage and I cannot fit anymore albums on the image. It's already crammed for space. I started reviewing and scoring each of the twelve albums two weeks or so ago and posting the review and score for each on my personal Facebook page; one post per album. After listening to this entire album like three times this morning, I can say that I may have to make a new collage... this album is absolutely incredible and Melissa Bonny's vocals are mesmerizing. "Marching on Versailles" is special and instantly sold me. Easily one of the best albums I've heard all year. I may just have to make a special side note when I make a review for this album and specify that it was not in the collage because 1) I didn't know the band existed and 2) It wouldn't fit, haha.
One of the best new releases of 2020, without a doubt.
Guys I don't know hey, call me crazy, but Ad Infinitum truly reminds me of Evanescence... From the Symphonic Power Metal structure,to how Melissa sings.
I absolutely love it and I am OBSESSED with this band!
Much more dynamic than Evanescence by far, though. I wouldn't call Evanescence symphonic at all.
Absolutely love this album. I've not been this moved by a symphonic metal band/album for a very long time.
Always her gentle and strong voice makes me listen to their music more and more ! Thank you !!
Omg I just discovered this band one hour ago and I fell in love ! "See you in hell" is just fantastic. Great job, thank you !
2 years in the future I just came upon this band like 20 mins ago.
I expected it to be great, after I heard the very first song "I Am The Storm" in December 2018, when there was just an idea - no band and only a few ideas how it would maybe sound like.
When the "first" single "Marching on Versailles" came out it felt like an exploding bomb: I knew this would be overwhelming!
Then "See You in Hell" was published and I was completely blown away ...
My expectation at this point was: "WOW - Three (!) overwhelming songs. " So thrilled for April 3rd.
One week before the release, the lyric video "Live Before You Die" came out, which - in my opinion - topped the other three songs again. I couldn't expect more ...
... but the album and ALL the rest of the songs surpassed my highest expectations by far!
Not one song to skip or even to put in question. You cannot even stop to listen to the complete album. It would feel like jumping off a running train ...
For my personal taste, this is one of the best albums ever! Thank you Napalm Records for streaming it.
The whole album, both vocals and music are..

Listened to this the minute the clock hit 12 am. Couldn’t stop smiling the entire time at how impressive it was. Every single track is mind-blowing!
Is it too bad to say I was looking forward to this more than I am the Nightwish album? Did not disappoint.
Me too tho. I am excited for Nightwish as well I'm just more excited to see this band release their first album. I was hooked since I heard Marching on Versailles because my brother showed it to me.
Luna Dreemurr and overall, I enjoyed the three Ad Infinitum singles much more than the Nightwish ones 🙈 I’m sure it’ll be great though. Until then, will listen to Ad Infinitum on repeat 👀
@@tillthestarsevaporate same! If you have Spotify it has some acoustic versions as well.
Luna Dreemurr Heard them of course! Thanks ^-^
@@tillthestarsevaporate np. I'm glad I could help.
That part at 24:40 On my goodness, I love how well the vocals go with the music.
Stunning and remarkable vocals. I played the entire album straight through then had to do it again. Vocals, lyrics, production...wow! Ad Infinitum, where have you been up until now and why am I just now finding you? If there were 10 like buttons, I'd press them all.
Absolutely agree. For me this album can be the 1st pretendent for nomination "album or the year 2020".
love every second of this album!
How am I just hearing this band!? I absolutely love it!! I will be getting this album with my next paycheck
What an album!!What a beautiful voice!What a band!The album of 2020!!
Ok, I am completely hooked....love this band!!!
After listening to the album twice now I am really excited! All songs are at a very high level and there is none that I want to skip. in addition, all songs are in the same style and with the same mood without getting boring. Something where you can linger in the same mood for a long time! great praise also for mixing i love this clear line without a lot of gimmicks.
This band is soooo good!
Awesome album!! Been a fan since I am the Storm a year ago and have to say this is the best album I've heard in a long time.. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
Just found them today while searching amon amarth .... I havent stopped lol sooo fn good I wish you had a show in the U.S. id buy tickets In a heart beat 💜💚
Congratulations! This album is awesome! Incredible epic music with small Kamelot influence mixed with awesome vocal's work. I guess, it's the most powerful album from Melissa. Glad, u finally find ur style
Great band, one of the best albums I've ever heard, i already buy it ! Mellissa Bonny voice is a dream!
Loved it!!! Melissa is amazing
I've listened to this at least 30 times and here I am again getting emotional AF. Can't get her voice out of my head ❤
wow...amazing album!!!
I love this album. So great to find a new band to obsess over!
Best Album 2020. Really good
After a few listens, I can honestly say this is an awesome album. Really varied across each song. Love it.
I love these guys só much!😭❤
They really help me trough difficult times😢💕
I guess that's the magic of music👑🔥💫
I love it🌹🐦👌😍😘💖💗💘💝💞💟💓💋
Great Album one of my favorite of all time's💀🕷💀
Loved that sick guitar solo from 4:10 to 4:20
This music is so raw, majestic, and timeless. It peels away the layers of pain that I often hide under my shield and lets them transmute into a beautiful combination of sweet sorrow and kinetic energy that connects me to the universe.
Awesome. I bless you and keep it coming. I love this new age of music. I have been here forever and heard many things. This is beautiful. I love it
I can't stop listening this album, it's perfect! :)
I could listen to Melissa & her band ad infinitum.
Glad I left my playlist running. This is REALLY fucking good.
Love it😍😍😍🤘🤘🤘
I like this band very much.
Excellent Album! The finale was just... WOW! Amazing work guys!
This album is honestly the best and most perfect thing yet
The cover pic is just fitting to the titled of album and it’s cool. I love that crow head/ plague mask look.
Then there’s the song which actually is my kind of rock so ya. I mean paramore is still my favorite band ever cause they got me into rock but this single album is the best album I’ve ever heard not even joking.
Amazing work
their outfits are very contemporary
It goes well with their theme, as first song is Infected Monarchy. Apothecary masks :D
One day, birthday parties will have 'dresscode: 2020s fashion' and it will look like this
@@joeysmith5086 Yeah, plague doctors often wore those black beak masks to fend off disease (which I think were the precursors to the modern gas mask).
Holy Shit!!!!
I knew of Rage of Light, but never expected this. Especially it being this great.
This will definitely will be added to my CD collection.
If Melissa can continue this, we have a future Corey Taylor in our midst.
Endlich hat jemand verstanden, dass es keine gute Idee ist, möglichst viel "Orchester" in Metal Songs zu packen - dadurch werden die Songs nicht automatisch gut. Ad Infinitum setzen auf Metal, super ausgearbeitete Texte und Melodien. Die Elemente aus der Klassik bleiben dezent im Hintergrund. Ein wirklich tolles Album! Ich habe es hier gehört und war sofort überzeugt. Album ist bestellt! Ich freue mich auf die Nächsten! Gute Arbeit!
Stimme dir vollkommen zu! Der Orchesterbombast der letzten Jahre bei NW u. a. hat deren Musik und ihrem Stil nicht unbedingt gut getan.
@@angelikadworzak570 Danke!
The singer is amazing.
Rezension ist geschrieben ... :
Was soll man sagen?
Es gibt so viele Symphonic Metal Bands: Nightwish, Within Temptation, Beyond The Black (mit Abstrichen), teilweise mit Death Metal Einflüssen (Arch Enemy, Jinjer, Epica, ...). Es gibt so viele, dass man locker eine Doktorarbeit darüber schreiben könnte. Und nun kommt Ad Infinitum daher. Hinter dem etwas sperrigen Namen verbirgt sich eine Combo aus 4 Musikern (3 "Instrumentalisten" und 1 Sängerin). Hat es doch schon so oft gegeben und ist auch zunächst einmal nichts wirklich Neues. Ich würde wahrscheinlich genauso denken, wenn da nicht die Sängerin gewesen wäre: Melissa Bonny. Die typische Schweizerin (man muss sie gesehen haben um die ironische Anspielung zu verstehen) kann singen. Das ist zunächst auch nichts Ungewöhnliches - das kann auch z. B. Floor Jansen, Sharon Del Adel oder Simone Simons - jede auf ihre eigene faszinierende Art.
Ein paar Teaser gab es ja auch schon vor dem Album in Form von einigen Stücken vorab. Und wer jetzt denkt, dass dies nur die besseren Stücke waren, der täuscht sich gewaltig. Im Grunde hätten sie jedes andere Stück von dieser CD als Teaser vorab bringen können. Die wären alle geeignet gewesen, um diese CD perfekt zu promoten. Denn es ist nicht nur die coole Stimme von Melissa Bonny die hier ihre Wirkung nicht verfehlt. Auch die übrigen Musiker sind einfach klasse. Natürlich muss einem "Symphonic Metal" liegen und man darf auch vor gelegentlich Growls nicht zurückschrecken, die hier aber bei weitem nicht so omnipräsent sind wie bei Jinjer oder Arch Enemy. Sie werden eher spärlich eingesetzt wie beispielsweise in den Gesangsstücken von Epica.
Dieses Album scheint eher eine Art "Konzeptalbum" zu sein (Hab die Online-Release-Party der vier Musiker - in Coronazeiten schön getrennt, jeweils via Videokonferenz von zu Hause leider live verpasst). Dementsprechend sind die Titel tatsächlich klassisch-metallmässig angehaucht, inklussive Streichern, Glockenspiel (ja, man kann das vollkommen deutlich durch die scheppernden Gitarren durch hören), klassischem Piano und und und
Alles in allem ist das musiktechnisch nicht direkt etwas vollkommen Neues, aber es ist halt richtig gut gemacht. Im Gegensatz zu manch anderen Bands und medientechnisch aufgehypten Bands hört man hier heraus, dass hier "Herz" dahinter steht.
So muss Metal sein! Rhythmuscomputer kann jeder - Ad Infinitum beweisen, dass es auch anders geht. Da ist jedes Stück durchdacht und kann überraschen. Von daher fällt es mir auch schwer, hier ein Stück explizit herauszustellen, welches ich persönlich am Besten finde. Ich hatte mich schon vorher lange nicht mehr auf ein Album dermaßen gefreut und meine Erwartungen waren dementsprechend hoch. Meistens geht so was nicht gut - bei Ad Infinitum hat es geklappt. Für mich ist das bisher das beste Album dass dieses Jahr veröffentlicht wurde und an alle anderen die da noch folgen möchten (ja, sogar inklusive Nightwish): Die Latte hängt verdammt hoch!
Anspieltipp: Hört euch einfach alles an, es lohnt sich!
Die CD ist bestellt, eigentlich ist es mir schnurzpiepegal wie die aussieht, auf den Inhalt kommt es an! Allerdings wollte ich tatsächlich schon einmal vorab eine Rezension abgeben, da der komplette Inhalt der CD ja schon weitestgehend via Stream verfügbar war.
What a jewel in current music! Love it
(my brothers acct) discovered Melissa with Rage of Light came across their cover of Amon Amarth's- Twilight of the Thunder God....fell in love instantly!!! would gladly die in battle for the glory of my new Goddess!!
can't believe how much of a change bonny's gone through from evenmore to this. there's nothing she can't do well lol.
This album is an absolute gem big bravo for what you've done, looking forward to see you in live action as soon as possible, hoping you'll come in France
I cant come back to France. Or they burn me as Pamela McCartel the big fat terrible book J'darc. 🔭 🛸🐲🌋
Maybe Mc Cartney 🤭✝️🛐⚡🌪️
Love this whole album! Thanks for making such great music for us to enjoy in these challenging times.
thanks god for that sound paradise
Holy crap her voice o.O
I already know Melissa from Rage of light and others collaborations but she reach another level with AD INFINITUM and those crazy great musicians. This album is perfect on every possible aspects, the new standart for perfection. PLEASE come to Montreal ( CANADA ) when the covid-19 gonna be behind us.
What a great album!
Cheers Ad infinitum!

Awesome Debut
Wow what a great album! Really well written and just a delight to listen too. Great to hear the whole album. You have a new fan!
I came here from the comments on Beyond the Black's single "Golden Pariahs". Many thanks to CZcams user who pointed to Ad Infinitum... Somehow this is closer to what I expected of BTB's new album. SYMPHONIC METAL
Uploading complete albums here is like the modern version of pre-listening to music in the music stores back in the days
The perfect album to write my upcoming novel Demon Warden. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece!
Yes, this is absolute favorite.
You guys just got another fan. Love everything about this band. Will definitely buy the album as a thank you for sharing with all of us. :)
Wonderful !!! Beautiful music singing!
I like this. thumps up
Love this - Thank you!
Could EASILY be up there with such artists like "Within Temptation", "Nightwish", "Lacuna Coil", &, in my opinion, "Evenescense" (I never could spell her name correctly.
Phenomenal sound.
Beautiful, Passionate voice & vocals.
Beyond Incredible sound.
A simply, Timeless, Legendary group. Could easily become one of my new favorite groups.💙✨️🖤🫠👌🖤✨️💙
I was waiting for this album and it's finally here and I'm not disappointed at all.
Excellent album well done guy's
Awesome album, great discovery. Melissa becoming one of my favourite singers ever.
Melissa died, I was that with dark colored hair on sea yourney.
I thank CZcams for recommending me this great album. First beat and I am adding Ad Infinitum to my playlist.
HOLY SHIT!!! Serious its my first time listening to this group im in love with this group
Exactly what I was looking for 😇
Wow...this was awesome!!!
Very powerful, thanks for making great music.
Pure gold.... awesome to listen to
