The album's twelve songs boast a significant amount of substance.

While the band operates within well-trodden sonic coordinates, evoking streamlined songwriting and poppy contaminations akin to many modern metal bands, Melissa and her three bandmates eschew the lazy approach of crafting songs that are merely cute chorus singalongs. In fact, this delicate balance between catchiness and substance is where Ad Infinitum’s considerable class is most apparent. It is a solid release that plays to the strengths of the band’s singer with tons of massive vocal hooks, but also packs a solid metallic punch that will satisfy listeners who may be less ear-candy-inclined. Formed as a vehicle for the exquisite and eclectic voice of Melissa Bonny, the Swiss/German band has just released their third full-length, Chapter III – Downfall, on Napalm Records. In such a demanding landscape, talent can make a real difference between success and oblivion - which is precisely what keeps Ad Infinitum at the forefront of the pack. A band revisiting the classic of cinematography and gaming, transforming them into epic metal tracks.Female-fronted symphonic metal is a crowded genre, where a myriad of different bands experiment with a relatively narrow range of influences and aesthetics. The beginning of a beautiful journey together with Niklas, Korbinian and Adrian.īeside Ad Infinitum, together with Hans Platz and Jenny Diehl from Feuerschwanz and Morten Løwe Sørensen from Amaranthe, she is part an ambitious project called The Dark Side Of The Moon. Since 2018, Melissa is the founding member and frontwoman of Ad Infinitum. She decided to leave both Evenmore and Rage Of Light to focus on her main project: Ad Infinitum. In 2015, she joined the trance metal band Rage Of Light and release an EP and an album with them. She left the project at the end of the same year to join the Symphonic Folk Metal band Evenmore as lead vocalist, which gave her the opportunity to release her creativity while writing music and the chance to broaden her horizons and perform on great stages before well-known bands such as Lacuna Coil, Eluveitie or Xandria. When she finished school, she spent most of her free time making music by herself or with some friends and took part in several events in her area, singing on stage, alone or with other musicians, before joining a cover band in 2012. Born in Montreux, Switzerland on January 23rd, 1993, Melissa started music when she was only 6 years old by singing in a school choir for several years.
