EXPLORING THE DARKNESS With NIKLAS MULLER From AD INFINITUM

EXPLORING THE DARKNESS With NIKLAS MULLER From AD INFINITUM

By Erin Eddy
Ad Infinitum are a Swiss/German symphonic metal outfit that, in 2018, was born from the vision of vocalist Melissa Bonny and took root as her solo project. It very quickly manifested into a full band though, when the combination of Niklas Müller, Adrian Theẞenvitz and Korbinian Benedict proved to be a formula that really worked.
Three, soon to be four, albums later and the band is powering forward, captivating fans the world over with their intense energy and emotive songs.
Their impending release is Chapter III: Downfall, and the central theme to this record is Cleopatra and ancient Egyptian mythology.
HEAVY got the chance to speak with drummer, Niklas, to delve into the world of Ad Infinitum and learn about what to expect from this new record.
“It might get a little bit darker,” Nik explains, with comparison to previous releases. “It’s very
diverse, more diverse than Chapter II.”
Nik says that while the album has a specific theme, it’s not a concept record, and more a collection of stories.
“It’s like a theme we follow, most importantly regarding the lyrics, but lyrics is Melissa’s department so I’m not the expert here!” he laughs.
Chapter III: Downfall is available as of March 31. The most recent single From The Ashes is out now and has a music video well worth checking out!
You can hear Nik speaking about the making of that music video, the album and more by checking out our interview below.
