That´s Melissa Bonny, one of the most hardworking woman in metal. Seriously, the amount of band where she´s involved is considerable.

[@justahologram2230]

I believe her last name is Löwe now that she's married

[@chriso6719]

They are a Swiss/Geman band. Lead singer is Melissa Bonny, she started it in 2018 as a solo project, and it turned into a full band. 3 albums to date, this is from their 2nd in 2021. Melissa has another band called Dark Side of the Moon. More Ad Infinitum, try Upside Down, Seth, and Marching on Versailles. For the Dark Side of the Moon band try The Gates of Time.

[@Andre.C.Freitas]

They are more Swiss Romand (French), not Swiss/German

[@metalmark1214]

Glad you discovered Ad Infinitum. Melissa Bonny is a great singer. So many bands you ladies are yet to discover. Japan and Europe have so many great bands.

[@Mischnikvideos]

Melissa Bonny was born in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, which is why French is her native language. When she starts school, she joins the school choir and receives ongoing support. In 2015 she was part of the original line-up of the trance metal band Rage of Light: RAGE OF LIGHT - Mechanicals (OFFICIAL VIDEO) In 2018 she founded Ad Infinitum (Latin for Until Infinite) as a studio project. They quickly become more successful than Rage of Light, she leave the band and the studio band becomes her live band. They only wore the masks for a short time. Because of the high cost of living in Switzerland, she moved to Germany, which is why the band is made up of Germans. But she doesn't stay there for long because she fell in love with Amaranthe's Danish drummer and married him last year: AMARANTHE - Damnation Flame (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) In 2021 she loses a bet with the guitarist from Feuerschwanz and as a “punishment” she has to form a cover band with him: THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON - The Gates Of Time (Official Video) | Napalm Records FEUERSCHWANZ - Warriors Of The World United (feat Thomas Winkler, Saltatio Mortis & Melissa Bonny) AD INFINITUM - Upside Down (Live in Oberhausen 2022)

THe dark side of the moon : metamorphosis is available ! An amazing album !

[@aksiegel1]

You can't go wrong with Melissa Bonny (and Ad Infinitum). If you like the song, you can pick up any other of the three albums and you won't be disappointed. Animals, From the Ashes, Seth, Inferno, Somwhere Better and all the others are just great. It's also worth listening to the site project The Dark Side Of The Moon, which was already mentioned in the comments (consisting of her, Hans Platz and Jenny Diehl from Feuerschwanz and Morten Løwe Sørensen from Amaranthe - as well as Korbinian Benedict from Ad Infinitum during live performances). They reinterpret famous soundtrack themes but also write their own songs. 🤘🦄🤘

[@escape081]

Ahhh, Melissa Bonny. She's so awesome! As already mentioned, "New Horizons" by Dark Side of the Moon featuring Melissa is absolutely incredible. Also check out "Somewhere Better" from Ad Infinitum. Both songs create chills and tears.

[@guyvandurme7228]

Actually Melissa is the lead singer of THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON and the featuring on "new Horizon" is Fabienne Erni (ELUVEITIE, ILLUMISHADE)

[@andh2627]

Ad Infinitum is an amazing band so many great songs! Check them out some more you won't be disappointed!

[@tallicafan85]

this is the first song ive heard from them just over 2 years ago. i was hooked ever since because of melissa bonny.

[@cirenotsluor9999]

The family that headbangs together stays together! \m/

[@surfdeprived]

Excellent reaction... and very glad to see you three branching beyond the Nightwish comfort zone.

[@Kilian600]

That strange guitar is a Strandberg. They're famous for their headless guitars. The company is from Uppsala, Sweden.

[@johncheek2415]

The singer is Melissa Bonny and they are touring the US in April and May, I will be seeing them May 10 in Tucson Arizona

[@JohnStockton76]

I'll be seeing them in both Cleveland and Pittsburgh

[@bazkeen]

A great band. So many great songs Melissa Bonny has a great voice 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥 Melissa also has a side project, a sort of supergroup called The Dark Side Of The Moon which is worth checking out 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Maybe try Fire & Ice from Ad Infinitum next. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@glenngunnis6642]

Thank you, Ladies! Great reaction!🎸🤘

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Thanks

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Check out this one to see her growl: AD INFINITUM - Animals (Official Video)

[@andh2627]

March on Versailles by Ad Infinitum showcases her growls as well.

[@briandevin1349]

And she can bring it live too..........saw them in London.......fantastic band.

[@Kilian600]

of course she does !

[@Zoey-K-1]

I have yet to hear anything by this band…or any project in which Melissa Bonny is involved…that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. I’d definitely recommend you check out more!

[@teyacanani]

I think you will like their song "Marching on versailles" which is about the French revolution

[@shawngrothe2686]

"I am the Storm" is my favorite one from this band.

[@CallMeJabber]

My favorite too. And no one ever talks about it.

[@Markmark-n2v]

Yes ❤❤❤

[@kennymccann3316]

The guitar is made by Strandberg and i think this one is a Boden Series not sure which model tho

[@guyvandurme7228]

Melissa is one of the most talented voice I've heard, the other is , of course Fabienne Erni (ELUVEITIE, ILLUMISHADE). Swiss has now two other things to offer, rather than chocolate cheese or watches.... Melissa also sings in the band : THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. the first album (metamorphosis) is amaazing. It includes the duet with Fabienne Erni : New horizons. TRY IT !

[@DrMcKay66]

There isnt one bad song on the 3 albums released. And thats pretty unusual if i may say 😮 pick any song and they deliver.

[@Mad9977]

Melissa knows hot to surprise with her voice

[@aaronbarlow4376]

You need to react to 'Outer space' one of their recent ones, Melissa truly goes from demonic to the ethereal voice of an angel. Also please react to 'Upside down', 'Eternal rains', 'Marching on Versaille', 'see you in hell' .They have lots of bangers though.

[@CommanderGreven1]

That is one of my upcoming requests 😀

[@georgek4gjn777]

That’s a stienburg 7 or 8 string I think.

[@georgek4gjn777]

Strandberg, auto correct is bad on my phone sorry.

[@poohbear4702]

Why is it this song everyone reacts to? They have better/more popular songs.

[@seattanf2348]

Reactors don't know what they're getting into and don't know which songs are more or less popular by a band. They can only go off which songs are recommended/requested.

[@poohbear4702]

@@seattanf2348 I get that. I'm just trying to figure out why everyone is doing this particular song.

[@jo_g.germany]

@poohbear4702 It was a request if I understood the introduction correctly . So it's the fault of those requesting 🤘🏻

[@seattanf2348]

@@poohbear4702 I can't speak to why this song is chosen from Ad Infinitum. I like this band but I haven't been listening to them long enough to be super familiar with all their songs. When I'm recommending a band to a reactor they've never heard before I try to think of a song that is a good representation of the band overall. Also I make it a point to avoid songs with a guest performer. That song is not always their best or most popular. Like I said I'm not super familiar with Ad Infinitum. Is this song a good overall representation of the band? If the answer is yes that is a possible explanation for why this song is a popular starting point.

[@poohbear4702]

@@seattanf2348 I mean I'm not an expert on their music either. I've listened to 3 of the 4 albums all the way through. I just thought songs like Animals and I am the Storm were more significant/popular.
