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.

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!

This band is awesome! Im a simple guy, I see Melissa Bonny, i press like! Her music is awesome!!!

This whole Chapter 1 is a masterpiece. Timeless

That I didn’t know of the lovely Ms. Bonny until yesterday is proof of how stupid KZread’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!!

Because they've only *been* a band since April 3, 2020. (Not literally, but you get what I mean).

Bands that I truly appreciate I buy physical medium and merch from. To reach that level of appreciation I first watch them on KZread, 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.

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 ❤

Lacuna Coil meets Nightwish. I'd almost forgotten how much I love this genre of music.

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.

I love this album. So great to find a new band to obsess over!

I was waiting for this album and it's finally here and I'm not disappointed at all.

I can't stop listening this album, it's perfect! :)

After a few listens, I can honestly say this is an awesome album. Really varied across each song. Love it.

The whole album, both vocals and music are.. A M A Z I N G

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. :)

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 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵

What a great album! Cheers Ad infinitum!

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.

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 🇦🇷

Absolutely love this album. I've not been this moved by a symphonic metal band/album for a very long time.

I love it, Melissa, the whole band, it sounds so rich, great arrangements. \m/

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

Hear a song in spotify, and here Im, such a great album!!!! missed bands like this...

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.

Lovely album, my favourite symphonic one of the year along with Seven Spires

a nice surprise, yesterday i knew this band and it diggered a piece inside my heart

I thank KZread for recommending me this great album. First beat and I am adding Ad Infinitum to my playlist.

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 💜💚

Very Impressive liking this a lot. beautiful composition of vocals and instruments. Compliments to the band, its a work of art. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

I love these guys só much!😭❤ They really help me trough difficult times😢💕 I guess that's the magic of music👑🔥💫 I love it🌹🐦👌😍😘💖💗💘💝💞💟💓💋

wow...amazing album!!!

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.

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.

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.
