Swiss/German modern metal frontrunners AD INFINITUM make a stand by releasing the next staggering offering and new single “Surrender” cut from their upcoming album, ‘Abyss’, out October 11, 2024, via Napalm Records! On ‘Abyss’, the international four-piece is redefining its sound, making it their most dynamic, modern, and progressive record to date.

“Surrender” beams with shimmering soundscapes, eruptive breakdowns, and a celestial vocal attack by singer Melissa Bonny, ranging from stellar clear singing to harsh and aggressive growls. Breaking out into the scene in 2020, AD INFINITUM has experienced a remarkable rise, evolving its musical style with each release. While their earlier offerings showcased a symphonic metal approach, ‘Abyss’ reveals a new side of AD INFINITUM.

In the fall of this year, AD INFINITUM will bring their new songs to stages in various cities when they support label mates Kamelot on their Awaken The World Tour 2024. Afterward, the band will join Eluveitie for their Ánv Rising – Europe PT I tour in early 2025.

AD INFINITUM on “Surrender”:

“‘Surrender‘ is the song we’ve been waiting to release since the moment we created it. It’s just us doing our thing without any boundaries, boxes, or outsider expectations—unapologetically. The song is paired with a music video that crosses over into another form of art, perfectly fitting the mood. We are excited to hear how people will receive it!”

AD INFINITUM on ‘Abyss’:

“Welcome to a new page of the AD INFINITUM story, where a new era begins. A journey connecting three albums, starting in the ominous darkness of ‘ABYSS,’ out on October 11th. The journey will continue through the hope and empowerment found at the ‘SURFACE,’ and end in the freeing and energizing dreamscapes of ‘ELYSIUM.’ We are extremely impatient to present this new record, as well as not only the beautiful artworks and videos depicting its universe, but the captivating visual storyline connecting each video to the next. This is our most elaborate, intimate and unapologetic work yet!”
