I absolutely love this song hurd it 5 times with in the hr

Hope to see you in Belgium. mayby alcatraz or graspop. Great song. now looking for the meaning of the song. Anyone an idea?

[@johntruitt6944]

Discovered this band about six months ago. Enjoy everything they do. Melissa is quickly becoming one of my favorite singers.

[@legbreaker2762]

Yep, that'll be another winner.

Don't tell my wife, but I have a crush on Melissa...

Melissa's voice is totally captivating both in clear voice and in growls. Great song and really subtle arrangements too. Great job guys, see you on tour \m/

Fantastic as always! Did not expect to see a PRS Silver Sky I must say!

@@adrianthessenvitz2130 oh yes! Cheers bud, keep up the cracking work!

[@what_the_hec7]

Her clean voice has always been great, but I feel her growls sound much more brutal here than in the previous record. It's nice to see a band this talented growing as fast as they are both in musicianship and in popularity

[@Dethian666]

beautiful

[@hauntedrose1]

Major Amy lee vibes and I’m absolutely loving it!!! 😻😻😻😻

[@arpod1980]

Everthing released from their new album so far, is absolute fire! Although Melissa is very talented with the growls, I like that it's been toned back some and we get to hear her belt her amazing voice in these songs with the occasional growl overlay with the vocals as it was brilliantly done in 'Unstoppable'. another fantastic one here too. keep them coming! i need more!

[@kamikazekrush3758]

Good comment, I'm gonna keep saying this, I like screaming, but it added zero to this song, the song was great with her vocals and I feel it been done to absolute death in Metal the last 10 years

[@patricko9479]

I don't know... This song was far too pop-ish for my taste. The drop was the only part I really liked in this song. But that's just my taste and nothing the band should consider in their song writing. They have their creative vision and if I like it, I will listen to it. This song just wasn't for me.

[@War624]

@@patricko9479 I think it's decent for a more radio rock song. Like they could get this put out on the more mainstream radio stations, which could then bring more casual people in, who then get hit in the face with the bigger sounding songs.

[@ytbr3383]

The new album is pure fire! It's fantastic, I love it! I like both the softer beautiful songs and the great heavy ones, and I think it blends amazingly well. That's what makes Ad Infinitum really amazing, and a bunch of talent ofc. 🤟

[@CallMeJabber]

@@patricko9479 i agree. I wouldnt listen to this band if it just was all melodical singing. And I dont even like screaming really. But when I listen to songd like I am the Storm, I cant wait til it gets to the 3 minute mark. Or marching on versaille in the intro with the killer riffs and in the chorus each time they say March it always leaves wanting that part to be more pronounced and wanting more. I think the growling that is in those songs and also her cover of liar liar is the perfect amount, not too much but enough to keep the song from being some pop r&b rock song.

[@adrianthessenvitz2130]

This release is super exciting, can't wait to hear your feedback :D

[@NR-xd1vw]

Your guitar playing is amazing. There is a channel called Midnight Metal in LA. The guy Dave does horror movies and he wants CK Smile from a band Chaoseum from the French part of Switzerland to be in it. Melissa I believe is also from the French part of Switzerland. It would be great to see her on the channel. And I think a full Swiss metal show in the US with Chaoseum, Ad Infinitum, and Cellar Darling would be awesome. And yes I am aware you are in Cologne Germany. Angela Gossow the former vocalist of Arch Enemy lives there and she is awesome as well. I am looking forward to this new video and the new album. I am a big fan.

[@blade2814]

Hab mir erst vor ein paar Wochen die Band mal angehört und muß sagen,echt nice! Ohne growlen ist Sie fast unschlagbar! Elize Ryd von Amaranthe bleibt für MICH die Nr 1 aber Melissa ist nicht gerade weit weg,was die Stimme,Ausstrahlung,Optik und Sex Appeal betrifft 👍🏻🤘🤘🍻

Ah damn this is at 3:00gmt and I don't finish work until 4:00. Well it gives me something to look forward to when I get home :D

[@linapllx]

I love this whole song, and my special appreciation goes to the galloping guitar riff on the second verse (wink wink Adrian). Very Muse-like. Great song you guys, now let's hear this whole album shall we?

I was reading the comments to see if someone else thought the same. The refrain is sooo similar to Supernova.

[@vongotham2572]

"Animals" We are animals I'm not afraid of the monster in you I heard the stories and I hope they are true Adrenaline is calling my name No hesitation darling, I'm still waiting And for the first time I will feel alive, alive Offer me a world of shadows and eternity We are animals Hunting for another supper, for another prey Losing our soul The love for danger is rushing through my veins Offer me your world, your thirst for immortality We are animals I will unleash the rage, the fury My primitive and my wildest instincts Get rid of all the complications Of human paradoxes, all frustrations The meaningless is no longer welcomed now Offer me a world of shadows and eternity We are animals Hunting for another supper, for another prey Losing our soul The love for danger is rushing through my veins Offer me your world, your thirst for immortality We are animals Subconsciously, our primitive instincts are puppeteers of the mind Handcuffed by the rules and limits we applied WILD! All my senses awaken, I was buried alive SCREAM! All the hidden desires, I am reborn tonight Offer me a world of shadows and eternity We are animals Hunting for another supper, for another prey Losing our soul The love for danger is rushing through my veins Offer me your world, your thirst for immortality We are animals

Thanks for your hard work Amy, it's very kind of you to post the lyrics. Bless you ! Keep it dark ! 🤗😘🖤

I could mention a bunch of underrated bands in the metal sphere. Gatekeepers, you now... Those who prefers listen each day same chords in the same tune played by the same (old) bands ;) Melissa Bony will become a star, it's obvious she have all for it. Will she achieve it playing the songs she wants, with this band and originality? Or make more mainstream? Who knows.. No IMHO, in 2024, Ad Infinitum is one of the most exciting and underrated bands! Don't Care what others do .. I support Ad Infinitum, Ankor and Battle Beast...

Live premiere reaction: You (Adrian, was it?) said there might be mixed reactions to _the video._ 🤔 Well, a lot of effort obviously resulted in a great video ✌. However, _the song_ is *too short* 😕. I must _be able to be critical_ about that which I love, otherwise I am just a "Yes Man" 😐.

[@DVDVAMPIRE01]

Well... if radio is still a thing (which I think it is in some countries), then the runtime of this track is ideal for that, which would make sense for a band trying to break into new/different markets.

[@toni.tapola]

@@DVDVAMPIRE01 Hello, DVDV-01 👋! I agree about the principle of "short and sweet" being important in countries where radio is _still_ a thing. However, there used to be a solution which, while as brutal as chopping movies into a length that allows maximum screenings per day, at least worked by releasing a _Radio Edit_ (bleurgh!) of a song and an _Album Version._ The Radio Edits thankfully often ended up being commercially released as single "B Sides" or album Bonus Tracks. Alas, Radio Edits usually ended up being also Video Edits. Thankfully, *KZbin* put an end to Video Edits 👍.
