Hi Beth, you’re late at the party but very welcome ! Ad Infinitum’s first album was very symphonic metal, their second is more diverse, including djenty riffs, nasty metal core breakdowns etc. Melissa is Swiss, Adrian, Nik & Korbi are German. And yes, Melissa can both sing like a songbird and growl like a beast. All musicians are freaking good. A pretty good rabbit hole, I promise. Tschuss !
Awesome video Beth. I love AD Infinitum. This song is phenomenal. I just started listening to them recently., but I love them. My favorite songs are Unstoppable, Into the Night, Haunted, Inferno, I am the Storm, Upside Down, and Afterlife.
I'm jealous. To be experiencing this band for the first time is priceless. I've devoured every bit of content from Melissa Bonny's channel. The ad Infinitum channel, interviews with other reaction channels, and enjoyed every moment. Enjoy the journey and welcome to the fanbase.
What stands out to me is Melissa's smoothness in her voice, it's like her vocal cords are made out of untearable silk! Speaking of great new things - have you ever heard of MARMOR? It's a multimedia project (most artists are from brazil), that features fantasy literature, theater performances, etc and they also released their first fantasy rock opera album about 7 years ago.. yesterday they were finally putting out new music (a music video), which i enjoyed a lot. It looks like noone knows about them outside of brazil, which is very unfortunate.. ua-cam.com/video/MMOyZwVmn40/v-deo.html
Ad Infinitum are very Amazing and the Album Chapter l Monarch and Chapter ll Legacy are Awesome! Melissa sing with her clean Voice and also Harsh Vocals/growls! Imo i love when she sing clean! She is also very beautiful!!! 👍🏻 Here are few suggestion from Melissa Bonny: Rage of Light - Mechanicals Ad Infinitum - Inferno,Animals, See you in Hell,Fire and Ice,Reinvented, and Afterlife feat. Nils Molin, Feuerschwanz - Warriors of the World! I have another suggestions from other Bands, when you need more input 🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘
Ad Infinitum is (IMO) the best new metal band in the last 10 years. Chapter 1 came out last year. (My) album of the year. Chapter 2 came out a couple months ago. (My) album of the year again! From Chapter 1 you may want to check out the music videos for "Marching on Versailles" and "See You In Hell". From Chapter 2, "Animals" and "Afterlife" are great picks and music videos. Great reaction, would like to see what you pick next!
Great that you check them. Welcome to the ad infinitum family. Next you should check out animals and inferno. Inferno is my favorite from the howl album. Definitely you should check out the howl album chapter 2 legacy. Eventually you can make a reaction video where you are listening to the howl album, that will be great They have also a discord channel the link is in there bio also by Instagram. Welcome to the family:)
Fabulous Melissa Bonny was born and grew up in the french speaking part of Switzerland, started singing in the swiss symphonic folk metal band Evenmore and was part of trance metal band Rage of Light before she started Ad Infinitum as a solo project. Eventually she left Rage of Light to concentrate on Ad Infinitum for which she writes the lyrics and music but needed musicians who would fit to her vision of this project. She found Adrian, Niklas and Korbinian who had all studied music at different German universities and so the band was born. Besides Ad Infinitum and her previous bands, Melissa can also be heard on some colabs with other bands like Warkings or on the cover song "Ding" by German medieval folk metal band Feuerschwanz. From this cooperation the complete new band The Dark Side of the Moon emerged made of Melissa Bonny (vocals), Hans Platz (Guitarist, Feuerschwanz), Jenny Diehl (Harp, Feuerschwanz) and Melissas partner Morten Løwe Sørensen (Drums, Amaranthe). The origin of this brand new band is a bet between Melissa and Hans about which video would hit 1 million views on YT first, "Ding" by Feuerschwanz or "Marching on Versailles" by Ad Infinitum. Hans won the bet and Melissa had to do a song with him. Hans did some Game of Thrones songs before and so he asked her to do "Jenny of Oldstones" from GoT season 8 episode 3 with him. They were joined by Jenny Diehl from Feuerschwanz and Melissas boyfriend Morten Sorensen from Amaranthe and recorded a demo version which they sent to Napalm Records. Napalm liked it so much that they signed them as a new band. Currently they are working on an album consisting of originals and cover songs from TV-series, films and video games.
@@bethrobinson94 Absolutely must check out the The Feuerschwanz cover of the Seed song "Ding". MUCH better than the original (IMO) and Melissa is awesome in it as she is with all her singing.
@@WillVafuth Oh, of course I know that. I was a big fan of Seeed at that time. But when I read my comment now I realize my mistake. I thought it was OK, because I mentioned that "Ding" is a cover but forgot to add that it is originally by Seeed and that Feuerschwanz just took it, "metallized" it a bit and Melissa added her incredible vocals (clean and harsh) to it. Sorry, for not being precise in the first comment. *sigh*
what and epic band and melissa is so great. just found this band sunday.

Well, I'm going down this rabbit hole most definitely. This is one of my favourite genres so always love to find new bands.
Awesome video Beth. I love AD Infinitum. This song is phenomenal. I just started listening to them recently., but I love them. My favorite songs are Unstoppable, Into the Night, Haunted, Inferno, I am the Storm, Upside Down, and Afterlife.
They are really good and need more love 🙂
Love this band, and everything Melissa Bonny sings in is awesome. She is incredible 🤘
She has an incredible voice and I'm happy to find a new band/vocalist to obsess over
@@bethrobinson94 Best singer in metal/rock IMHO. She has such a beautiful, rich, soulful, pretty tone. Not to mention her being inhumanly beautiful.
Ad Infinitum has 3 albums. Monarchy : Chapter l , Revisited : Chapter l and Legacy : Chapter lI.
Did not know they made album dedicated to acoustic songs from 1st album, will have to check it out
@@bethrobinson94 Yeah, they're rearranged versions of the songs

Ralf, Ding was not writen by Feuerschwanz. They're covering an old SEED song.
