Good choice Mate, but how about some The Human Paradox? Another mind melting song by Dynasty. I hope someday Arjen Anthony Lucassen brings him into Ayreon, Nils would be perfect for ANY of Arjens stuff.

I just found Ad Infinitum a couple days ago and instantly fell in love with them. Melissa has such an incredible voice and the rest of the band is very talented as well. Can't wait to hear more from them.

I really like how the timbre of the two compliments each other :) nils with the belt kills me every time

Nils really is a top notch Powermetal vocalist. In Amaranthe he obviously can't shine with the main focus on Elize and GG6. With Dynazty however, oh man! Well crafted, steel solid Powermetal and Nils really shining, yet not outshining the other musicians. You/We should definitely check out some Dynazty, worth it for sure.

I think its more of a time share thing then anything. BOOM doesn't have Elize hardly and she isn't on stage live during it. I bet on the next Amaranthe album he's got things more his flavor.

I love this song! Their voices blend soooo well together!! Cheers from Brazil!

Great song! I had never heard of the band before your first reaction and now I can't wait for the album to drop!

Thank you, Keep up the great work... 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Yep definitely found a new band to check out. Love your channel. I’m finding more and more music to listen

That you have Amaranthe in the background during your closing thoughts made me chuckle!

I always stop by when you're boosting the signal on new music; like this project, even though I know I won't like most of the music. This song, might be my fave so far. (at least, from bands I don't listen to outside your channel)

So its finally time to check out Dynazty :) Dynazty - Human Paradox

So glad this band is finally gaining some traction in the reaction community!

I'm feeling the same with Amaranthe like you! I love his voice in this song!

Yo Tank, I’m sure you’d prefer Nils when he sings with his own band Dynasty !

I just want to say, thank you Tank if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have discovered so many awesome European bands❤️

Wow just wow 🤘😳 I love this song🤗🥰🤘

Really looking forward to the new album, the first two released songs are very promising 😃 And btw: While Amaranthe being a hit-or-miss for you, hearing "Fearless" being played during the outro just put a big smile on my face 😀

Absolutely loving pretty much everything I have heard from Ad Infinitum so far, But this song has solidified Them as one of my new favorite Bands.

And another great reaction. Great song too. Btw. I guess its about time you check out some of dynazty's song. They are working album too if I'm correct. Stay safe tank 😁

Napalm Records put a full live concert of Ad Infinitum on their channel last year, I don't know if it's still up or not, but it's worth traking down. They are amazing live.

I love Dynazty soooooo I strongly recommend giving them a try ;) I have Ad Infinitum's See You in Hell on repeat constantly, I don't know why, but this song is so good I can't stop haha

Those harmonies gave me chills.

I love duetts. This one was great

Wow, the vocal layering is my favourite part of that song. So many lines and runs weaving around each other..

Like you said Tank.. just really fucking good music.. the epic feel to this is awesome..

Nils is Fantastic singer, his songs with Dynazty (his original band) are amazing and is totally different from Amaranthe you should definitely check them out. (although I'm a big fan of Amaranthe their songs are not for everyone and could be hit or miss), plus Nils was (or is) kinda the third string vocalist in Amaranthe and didn't really shine in his first album with them, he was much more of the fit with them in their second album together and much better utilize in that album and less like a third string, in his first album with the band he was just recently join the band and the songs were not really mesh with his style given that they were written for another singer originally (imo he is much better vocalist than the band original male singer). Plus Nils have amazing Whitesnake, Queen and Dio covers that really show his range as a singer. btw That's the general problem with perception of Amaranthe members, they are all amazing musicians but because of their style, it not that clear in the first glance, their style is not something that hit with you immediately (given the popish style of some of their songs), you kinda have get use to it and give them time , in my personal experience they get much more enjoyable after few listens. (Sorry the comment got kinda rambly)

They sound so good together.

Yeah add this to the list of albums I am eagerly waiting for .. Melissa’s voice just enchants the listener while the band provides a solid , high quality sound that just hooks you. They deserve to really blow up and hopefully with concerts starting up, they can get their name out there more.

Love the clean singing from Melissa and Nils also. Great Job! When you like Power Metal, please react following Bands/Songs: Nightmare - Divine Nemesis Manimal - Forged in Metal From the Ash - Fearless Ordan Ogan - Fever Eleine - Die from within Have fun and try to stay calm 😁🤘🤘

I went into this song expecting epic. Expectations were exceeded. Had the chorus stuck in my head since i heard it. "I even realize that I may have been drastically undervaluing Nils Moilin's vocal ability" Oh brother, you have no idea. The guy really is THAT good. Aside from one really epic note in "Boom" he's somewhat slumming it in Amaranthe. The singles they release at least do not really suit powerhouse vocal moments in many ways. I actually listened to a few Amaranthe live performances and realised hell, he's actually better live than he is on the record. That's when the idea popped into my head that vocally he would suit Queen songs. So I searched and that's when I found that performance of "The Show Must Go On" that I told you about. Talk about ask and ye shall receive.

You should check Lost Society - No absolution, or some other their Song. Young guys from Finland 🤘

I think Napalm is the hottest record label at the moment

Love it! So glad you've finally found these guys! I mentioned it (late) on you interview with Melissa and Adrian, but there's another German band you should give a listen. "Enemy Inside". They are on similar tracks right now, just having released their second record also. REALLY good stuff, and like Ad Infinitum, not really well known yet in the US, but will gain traction too. Also, another female fronted band. Nastassja is amazing, though different (think more Amy Lee?). Give "Lullaby" a watch for some gear, "Angel's Suicide" for (early) live, or "Dark Skies" if you want some unplugged. Edit: There's also a collab with Georg Neuhauser from Serenity called "Doorway to Salvation". Don't think there's a vid yet, but it's amazing too.

Really cool! Just like you, I just discovered Ad Infinitum recently and I really like what they do! Btw, Nils is pronounced "Neels". :-)

Wow!! This is insane!! Never payed attention to this band before, even though I knew about them. (It was actually Nils Molin that made me curious... As the Dynazty - Amaranthe fan I am). This song and music video gave me GOOSEBUMPS!!! Epic song, music and storytelling. And the colab with Nils. M and Melissa. B bring it to the next level! Their vocals together... I have no words for it! I'm definitely gonna check out more stuff from Ad Infinitum. Love it!! 🤘💪 Great reaction, btw! Oh, check out Nils' own band, Dynazty. I'd suggest "Precense of mind" (official music video) and "Waterfall" (official music video).

This song is really good. Nills should get more chance to sing, I truly like his voice. That was great reaction.

good video 👍

Tank, please take a look on "eyes wide open - burn em down" . Love wat you doing :) Greetings from Germany ✌️

Talking about Nils, you can check more about him in his other band Dynazty, im sure you will enjoy it

Nils has a great harmonic quality to his voice that I don't quite know how to describe. It's why he does so well in collab and multi-vocalist projects like this and Amaranthe, and it's the same kind of quality that made Marko Hietala great with Nightwish. It's almost a shame, because he shines as a solo vocalist too.

For me, this year, Dvne completly steals the show and take the first place for the best album of the year, with Etemen Ænka

Hi Tank, I love your videos, but I'm wondering why there is still no video for "MGLA - Exercises in Futility V". I would be very happy about that (if you haven't heard this song enough). Many greetings from Germany Cheers

Those 2 voices were made to sing together... nuff said.

Man, one of my favorite recent discoveries. I have to go pre-order that album now, this is gonna be sick. Edit: I just ordered it, afterwards was checking out more of Napalm Records bands, and Rage of Light also has Melissa in there... that is a f*cking sick band as well!

Picked a doozy of a day to come back from my vacation, this song is legendary! Love Ad Infinitum and can't wait for the full album to drop. (Also, Day 30 of asking for a reaction to Thundergod, although it's about 38 if you include the days I was gone)

Hello. Nils was a great choice for Ad Infinitum´s first official collaboration as their voices sound together really well. It was not totally unexpected as Melissa´s significant other is Amaranthe´s drummer. And now, Elizabeth reacted to Ad Infintum, as well, yay. Sadly, I was not able to go to, at least, one of their live concerts, even though they were in my homecountry. Hopefully, I will have more free time when they make an appearance here next time. I know you reacted to Band-Maid, Lovebites, Doll$Boxx and Babymetal. And I would like to introduce you to another band of a similar kind (or a supergroup). It is called Nemophila and had been founded only a few months before the virus reared its ugly head. They have not released a full-length album yet, but there is an EP. They made a number of covers to retain people´s attention over past months. However, I would consider it unfair to expect something from you and not to give anything in return; and therefore, I tried to gather as much information about each member´s gear as possible (see below). This was the first single that the band released and so I suppose it is a good place to begin: 「OIRAN」(KZread ver.) / NEMOPHILA or if you want to chill out with more of carefree hard rock tune, then there is (the song itself ends around 4 min´s mark): 【Original】NEMOPHILA / FIGHTER スタジオ演奏♪ *Mayu* is the vocalist. *Tamu* is the drummer, whose drum set is Tama Silverstar (Jet Blue Burtst) with the S.L.P. series snare (chestnut) and Meinl cymbals. *Haraguchi* is the bassist and she played Bacchus Universe BJB5-700 5 string Jazz Bass with some custom modifications in earlier videos. Her new one is Sadowsky Metroline RV5 5 String Bass (TRD/W. Pearl). She seems to be partial to using Ampeg equipment as far as amps and speaker cabinets are concerned. I noticed two set-ups: SVT-CL+SVT-810E and SVT-3PRO+SVT-410HLF(?) *Hazuki* is now recognized by Ibanez as one of their artists. I have seen two of their guitars in her hands so far. These models are: IBANEZ RGDR4327-NTF and slightly customized Ibanez j.custom RG8527Z. There were also three ESP guitars. One of these was a 7-string guitar - ESP M-Seven Original Series Titan Metal. And two basically identical (except for color) 6-string ESP guitars in customized configuration (or, at least, I was unable to find any other ESP guitars that look like them). She uses Kemper Profiling Rack amp (+Roland GFC-50 MIDI Foot Controller)+Marshall DSL40C; Marshall 2551AV; MARSHALL 1960A. She also works together with child guitar-playing prodigy Li-sa-X. *Saki* is the other guitarist and she plays Killer guitars exclusively. I have seen four of them so far. Currently, it is her signature model that gets all of the love - KG-Fascinator Seven the Empress. You can also often see her playing a significantly modified KG-Fascist Vice Seven model (different colors, different pickups, an added pickguard with a customized design), or, at least, that is I think it is, to be fair. The other two are modified KG-Prime original 2015 (with a different neck and red active EMG pickups; colors) and modified KG-Fascist Grave Stone (EMG active pickups and different paintjob). She uses AXE-FX III Fractal (+MFC-101) combined with Marshall Custom Shop Tattoo Range Emily Wood JVM410H & 1960A Stack Bundle. I don´t think I ever saw her playing that KG Fascist Grave Stone guitar with Nemophila, but I did see her doing so with her second band Mary´s Blood, which is also quite interesting, to be honest.

Just two albums so far, huh? ...yeah, I'm so getting their full discography.

These 2 singles off of the new album show the growth of Ad Infinitum. I thought the first album sounded very Kamelot-like musically. Not a bad thing, as Kamelot is one of my favorite bands. But the new singles stretch that sound into a new direction, making it more of their own sound :)

I guess, I found yet another band to check out more thoroughly, buy their albums and make room on my phone's memory card for ^^'.

Yeah, you really gotta check out Dynazty.

You’ve got to check out fellow AFM alum, BOREALIS. They have a new album coming out too!!!

Check out Dynazty because Nils has an AMAZING voice!

Hey Tank just that you know. Ad infinitum first album was inspired by Louis XIV (the sun king) and this album is inspired by Vlad Draculea (Count Dracula) but focusing more on the history person and not so much on the vampire stuff. Just so you know it might help for future songs Greetings

I'm with you all the way on harsh vocals, they have their place but too many people think it's cool to love harsh vocals from a female vocalist whenever they're used. Maybe it's some 'strong woman challenging gender roles' thing, or just 'harsh is more edgy and cool' mentality, I dunno. For me they have to compliment the song and be used sparingly and correctly. Often Melissa's growls are subtly layered in the background without overpowering her clean and it sounds awesome. In 'Ding' with Feuershwanz her growls hit hard at an intensity crescendo in the song and they were in short, sharp beats and added force to the song. When growls are just added for the hell of it regardless of the overall song intensity it sounds forced, needless and an unwelcome break from melodic clean vocals.

Melissa Bonny is the only only female vocalist I regularly listen to. I really just don't like female vocalists in general but I can't get enough of this band. She and the rest of Ad Infinitum are one of my favorites to listen to now. And I meant no disrespect to female vocalists. It's just my own musical tastes I'm talking about. Thanks for another great video Tank.

Seems to work best when the singer can do both well and finds the right balance, Melissa being a great example...

In the end we all know it know and don't need it in our face all the time. For Amaranth .. its a bit like with the harsh vocals, i mostly just wanna here Elize and the male vocals mostly just annoy me especially if the get more time than Elize.
