Modern metal frontrunners, Ad Infinitum, surprise with an infectious music video for “Anthem For The Broken”, a catchy and gripping track from their latest full-length album, Abyss, which dropped last month. With the release of Abyss, the energetic four-piece marks a significant turning point in their career. Ad Infinitum have taken their sound to the next level, evolving into one of the most exciting new modern metal bands around.
The new visual for “Anthem For The Broken” shows a whole new facet of these rising stars and comes shortly after a successful EU/UK tour with symphonic metal greats Kamelot, where the band around vocalist Melissa Bonny enthralled thousands of fans in various cities and at sold-out venues. This reigning adventure continues in January 2025, when Ad Infinitum embark on an extensive EU tour with label-mates Infected Rain, supporting folk metal pioneers Eluveitie.
Ad Infinitum on the new video and upcoming tour: “We are excited to finally share the final piece of the video-puzzle that links all the videos of our album 'Abyss' together, and to feature a song that we hope to hear you sing with us in January and February when we hit the road again!”
Watch the official music video for “Anthem For The Broken”:
Ad Infinitum have come into their own only over the last year or two, but they have released a whopping four albums since 2020. Vocalist / founder Melissa Bonny spoke with BraveWords about the band's new record, Abyss, and revealed they are playing the long game when it comes to their music.
"We've done the albums Chapter I: Monarchy, II: Legacy, and III: Downfall, which were connected in that they were all influenced by history. We wanted to step away from that but still offer a new trilogy, so we decided to go more personal on Abyss by basing the songs on personal experiences and emotions. We sorted those ideas out into three albums, and Abyss is the darkest of them. The fears, the demons, stuff like that."
Meaning fans should expect another trilogy....
"Yes, but it not just planned out in our heads (laughs). We've done the work for the next three records; not all the songs are written, but we've been working on the visuals for the artwork and the videos. If you wantch the videos you will see that there are easter eggs that connect the songs. The goal is to have this connection through the whole trilogy. It's the same for the artwork, so we had to inform everyone of what are going to do for the next three records (laughs)."
