[@GridDownSurvival]

I am glad you mentioned the guitarist.. everyone just talks about Melissa.. and yeah.. a gorgeous woman with a gorgeous voice.. i get it.. but this guitarist is the real deal.. and his acoustic work is outstanding.. if you check out marching on Versailles (accustic verson) or tell me why on their live from Cologne video you will be impressed.. glad you like this band..

[@JKralik2777]

Also that sound at the start of the solo. I feel like i never heard that before

[@adrianthessenvitz2130]

🤘🥰

[@JKralik2777]

@@adrianthessenvitz2130 i think you gotta have a sick looking headless guitar then you can do anything :)

[@Engine45]

Same with Jinjer. Most people get them because of Tatjana, but the whole band is just so good and impressive. That bass lines, just wow.

[@GridDownSurvival]

@@Engine45 exactly.. great singers need great bands for it all to come together..

[@holgersurray]

I like the dark and gritty sound of the instruments making Melissa's voice floating above the music.

[@tallicafan85]

band is so great. mellisa has such a great voice. heard like 4 songs then bought 2 albums.

[@fysy9989]

Funny story, Nik could basically choose which instrument he wants to play when he joined the band as he is a great multi instrumentalist

[@bobsatan69]

The more I hear Melissa sing the more I like her,and yeah that guitar player is amazing.

[@GridDownSurvival]

There are a few other Melissa Bonny vids you should also react to soon.. like the one of her playing live in a park with a teenage girl named Martha playing the flute .. and also her "challange" requests on her peraonal KZbin channel.. Melissa is a hidden gem.. what you have seen if her is only scratching the surface.. only 28 yrs old and already in a half dozen signed bands.. the work ethic and effort alone deserves more.. she is the next Floor . Yep.. i said it.. and thats a mouthful😳

[@benjpr5395]

"she is the next Floor" may the gods of metal hear you!! I discovered her about 5 years ago when she was in Evenmore and I instantly fell in love and follow her since. Her cleans are out of this world and her growls/screams are very good and understandable (even for me as english isn't my natural language). She is criminally unknown for now I hope Ad Infinitum will help to fix that mistake. Chapter I - Monarchy was one the best debut album I ever heard can't wait for Chapter II - Legacy.

[@Kilian600]

...and she's a sweetheart in person too !!!

[@phaeron]

Definitely really good musicians with a not only really attractive but also very capable frontwoman. As I don't necessarily consider (power) metal to be my comfort zone, my ears often have problems with the voices of some singers. But I could listen to Melissa for hours, which I actually did with the first album. I really like her balance between soft and harsh voice and the sound fits it perfectly, at least for me. I'm really looking forward to their new album! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 「 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' 」- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️

[@rodamsravel6618]

I do not tire me out in hearing this song.

[@dandyprime5338]

Their first album that came out last year, Chapter I: Monarchy, was such a huge surprise for me and I love it. "Marching On Versailles" blew me away and they definitely have some power metal elements in some songs like "I am the Storm" and "Live Before You Die". I love Melissa's voice. Enjoyed the video Tank!

[@patrickschardt7724]

This song has been in my daily playlist for a week Melissa is a beast

[@aaronbarlow4376]

These guys are so supremely talented and Melissa Bonny is a goddess.

[@KomalaUsedYeet]

Discovered Melissa on Warkings tracks. (Which you should also check out btw) saw she had her own band. been addicted to Ad Infinium ever since, her voice is just IT

[@JKralik2777]

Sparta :)

[@MattnessLP]

The algorithm works: Just checked out Ad Infinitum's video for "Marching on Versailles", and the first suggestion under that was this video. Perfect, been looking forward to you checking them out.

[@DanielBrinkmann1996]

The vibrato in this woman's voice is absolutely gorgeous. Damn, please check out more of her songs! (Maybe "Sparta" from Warkings!)

[@Ronin3100]

We know you know that Eskimo Callboy just slayed KZbin again haha. We got the moves!

[@scottmartin6594]

The way she moves is just mesmerizing! So smooth

[@7Leksu7]

Surely now you have to do "AD INFINITUM - Marching on Versailles", both original and acoustic. On a completely different note, how about some Gideon? I would recommend "Gideon - No Love/No One" or "Gideon - Take Me". I am most certain it will be up your alley :)

[@Buffaloheart68]

First heard Melissa with Rage of Light and their cover of Twilight of the Thunder God. And was hooked. Discovered Ad Infinitum on my streaming service as a random song, and was wow I like this. Looked up the band and was like well no wonder. Melissa is gold.

[@michal24980]

Man, I had that "oooooooo" from chorus in my head for a week and I couldn't remember where I heard it. Hahaha, how good that I came in here. And as always... good job, Tank.

[@arpod1980]

This song is soooooooo good

[@grindcore9]

Been waiting for this for a long time :D

[@garricksmalley1733]

Yes the need to head bang was irresistible for me as well. So glade you found them.

[@RobertJones-vb2qi]

Yaaas lol good time to pick up on Melissa and her band Ad infinitum

[@Bullfido]

Found this channel as a Sabaton fan recently, best part binge watching have been watching the beard grow

[@tedi3993]

I love ad infinitum - I've mostly been disappointed with symphonic metal releases the last few years, but Chapter I, along with everything Seven Spires has done recently, have been a breath of fresh air!

[@czarineyee256]

Hey Tank, while you're reviewing female fronted bands, can you check out Seven Spires from Boston? They have a new album coming out next week on Frontier Records and I think you'd enjoy them since you've reviewed bands like Dimmu Borgir and Kamelot which they're influenced by. The singer tours with Avantasia and she has a huge range from clean to death/black metal screams. They're a young and talented upcoming band who deserves more exposure! Thank you! 🤘

[@senditkevin]

Yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!

[@duikmans]

Gods of Debauchery is epic.

[@fysy9989]

Yes please!

[@elizabethkaren5232]

Yasssss please do Gods of Debauchery!

[@kjaniga17]

Czarine... I need to go on record thanking you for this comment. I had never heard of Seven Spires before I read this - now I can't get enough. My dear lord... How come these guys haven't blown up yet?

[@Cwronaga216]

You got to do their song marching on Versailles it's an amazing song and it was most people's introduction to this band and has an incredibly catchy tune and chorus

[@samcrorie]

First time I've heard this and I LOVE it ❤

[@simonriches77]

Just downloaded Chapter one: Monarchy, and am listening to it right now. After hearing "Unstoppable" on this channel I straight away became a fan, and will definitely be getting Ad infinitum's new album.

[@SkullyGjoe]

holy shit this song was amazing!!!!

[@VIKINGKING95]

Can't wait for you to do More from this band they been one of my favorites for a while now.

[@csphoenix9]

Their first album is album of the year for me. Whole album is fantastic. New album is actually their third album. They rerecorded Monarchy acoustically with different arrangements of the songs.

[@MajkenB04]

Wow love this 🥰🤘

[@OlettaLiano]

This is so cool. I just found a new band to love.

[@FallingPig]

This one's a winner in my book. Thanks Tank.

[@johndreessen7335]

Never heard of them. Great music. Good vocals. Great video. Liked the start of the guitar solo. Did see the thumbnail a lot but wanted to wait for a reaction video. Thank you for this reaction.

[@andrewdash5487]

The band is so rad. I bet they would send you a signed copy of their vinyl.

[@themetalmuse]

Fab!

[@Thnielsen85]

Let me just say.. freaking great guitar tone! Love that!! Also there is some very cool drum work in the song. some little drum fills and small changes here and there. very cool! :)

[@michaausleipzig]

Whoa ... absolutely LOVED this one!!!

[@DarkestIllusion]

I've had this on repeat since I watched your reaction. Thank you, haha. 😊

[@jamesboulerice4968]

Would love to see you do their full Live Show in Cologne. It's so good.

[@pierreverove3732]

So glad you’re going to react to this one, Tank ! Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did !

[@Abremoch]

This is an awesome European metal group and I am glad you are giving them visibility!!!

[@aminerzk2291]

Duude , you should check their song "live before you die" with an incredible solo in the mid of the song 🎸🔥

[@davidwootton8731]

Incredible ....

[@iDEATH]

Hey! Glad you finally got to these guys, Tank. I first discovered them late 2019/early 2020 and was hooked pretty much right away. Then I watched their virtual launch party for their first album in the very early days of the-malady-that-can-not-be-named-on-KZbin and saw how lovely and charming they all were and that cemented it. They are all top shelf musicians, and Melissa...I love her tone. At least when I can hear her; my brain tends to shut down when I can see her, she's so beautiful.

[@DenyThisFlesh]

This reminds me that I should go listen to their first album again. Great song.

[@Deato9000]

Their first album is full of bangers! Can't wait for this upcoming sophomore album 🤘

[@jasonscreationsunlimited4161]

Hell of a band, one hell of a singer.

[@ryanclark5700]

I always enjoy your reactions. You always do the gear breakdowns which is really cool. This band is great and just recently Melissa dropped a one take performance of animals which you should definitely check out!

[@justinsapp7798]

So happy you finally got to this band! I discovered them literally by accident around this time last year and they absolutely floored me. They are a crazy talented bunch and I feel they're only going to get better! You should check out (and maybe react to) Melissa covering Twilight of the Thunder God, she really can do it all man.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

I was right with you on the headbanging, the chorus hits hard.

[@JKralik2777]

I actually just discovered Ad Infinitum a few days ago. Thanks youtube recommendations. Then I saw your reaction to dark side if the moon. Then i worked my way backwards to Marching on Versailles and then to Rage of Light and some of her collabs with Warkings. Shes pretty incredible :). Keep up the awesome work!

[@carlclouseriii8519]

I can't wait for then to come to the us. I definitely will go see then if they are close to my area

[@mattatkins4804]

Only discovered these guys very recently and saw your reaction in a thumbnail - clicked on it purely out of curiosity. Dude, your reaction totally mirrored how I felt when i first heard this piece...absolutely awesome and makes the hairs on my arms stand up. Love the music and loved your reaction...thanks man and keep it rockin! Out.

[@michealhagler791]

Loved her range and sound in this. I've heard two songs so far and they're both straight nadass.

[@rabidelfman]

And, just like that, a new Ad Infinitum fan is born. It's a beautiful thing.

[@Iammelodic]

Orbit Culture Flight of the Fireflies live right here. Orbit Culture - Flight Of The Fireflies [LIVE @ SiriusXM] | Next Wave Virtual Concert Series Vol. 3

[@benjpr5395]

Cool reaction as usual! Your knowledge about gears is outstanding! Glad you liked it and yes go listen to the first album it's a masterpiece full of bangers not a bad song in it! Also check the acoustic version of it Melissa's voice shines even more, being able to rearrange a full album of symphonic metal into acoustic says a lot about the talent of this band.

[@mooncritter721]

This band is FIRE!!! So good and the songs are well written. My favorite band for sure!!!!

[@Pygmyer]

Shout-out to Sarah Longfield!

[@philippklober8463]

Love how detailed you break everything down from the background of the band, their gear to the pyro technique they are using. Keep it up 🤘

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks!

[@slyzombie6166]

Love this band!! I loved the first album and can't wait for the new one. Ad Infinitum and Unleash The Archers world tour 2022... Would be amazing.

[@chriscross2473]

I rly dig that song

[@Alucard19ster]

CURSE YOU TANK!!! *sigh* fav it and adding to my list. Dammit lol! Love her voice and I'm a huge fan of guitar work. Can't play it, but when I hear some great ppl that can just make the song better with solos.

[@nonsens007]

I love you Mr. Tank, you already brought so many new bands to me like Avatar, Bloodred Hourglass and more....and now this one. I love metal and i normaly cry once a day because i miss live concerts... Keep Going! Always banging with you in front of my screen. Sad and funny at the same time i guess.

[@natasja_sv]

I was holding off from listening to their new single until I had time to watch it for the first time with Tank. Glad I did. Very fun to watch Tank, thank you. (btw, so not used to your intro...)

[@pin-upmariposa412]

It was great song and very educative reaction. Today I get a lot of new gear. I really like Melisa Bonny's singing way. I saw new Jinjer album on the wall. It looks very impresive and now it's almost full.

[@GridDownSurvival]

Ok.. required viewing.. March of Mephisto.. by Melissa Bonny.. live hone studio.. yep.. there is a backing track.. but ... ummm.. just listen.. you will put a ❤ on this comment after you do.. hope your queen and little princess and all rocking out and well

[@duikmans]

Wow. Doing both the part of Roy and Shagrath.

[@jasonmiller3134]

Thanks for another great video, Tank!! I love your "Tank Facts" -- very "Pop-up Video" (but in a good way!) for this Gen Xer who loves those details.

[@sandy1653]

They've also got an acoustic version of Chapter 1 as well called Chapter 1: Revisited which is a good listen. Both versions of Marching on Versailles have official music videos uploaded to YT if you wanna check them out too.

[@Karottenregen]

Hey eskimo callboy droped a new single and its too good

[@DarkKnight-jw3rc]

Ad infinitum is best of the best 🤘🤘🤘

[@Mad9977]

yeah that solo is pretty EPIC ✌️😎👍

[@cwes6404]

I wil see It tomorow. Going to concert Floor Jansen finaly.

[@Maedrya]

Probably will be one of the best songs of the year. Ad Infinitum has so much potential. Love them ! I would love to see you react to Slaughter To Prevail - Your Only, too many things to Say about this song.

[@JMurdochNZ]

Missed this one on release. Knew you would love this one. Melissa is a superb vocalist. Those runs in pre-chorus are extraordinary. The first guitar I ever had as a kid was a Steinberger clone by Cort which was headless. Rock solid, almost never needed tuning and changing strings was dead easy and fast. Kind of surprised they never became more common.

[@bullletone1097]

Thanks "Tanks" for sharing this reaction, on more Reaktion that Shows me to Listen more clearer to Lyrics, Instruments, Songs as such as they are 💪🏻💪🏻 by the way 😅🙈 "You should react to "Our Promise" a german Band with Englisch lyrics... theyre sick 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 (by the way, I will Post this until you react 😜) Keep up the good work TTT😉💪🏻" you know the deal 😜🙈

[@domfol5515]

Again you impress Tank 👍. I’m still stubborn here with asking you to give “the crawling “ a fantastic band a shout ! You will enjoy, I promise 🤘🙏

[@jasonhutcherson6224]

She was with Rage of Light before she formed Ad Infintium

[@99defense]

Fantastic band - I'm glad you've finally discovered them. Definitely check out their first album, as well as Melissa's work with her previous band, Rage of Light.

[@Abremoch]

Yes! Rage of Light rocks and they have a new album coming out!!

[@Nickykitty92]

I immediately recognized that guitar lol. If you haven't checked out Sarah Longfield's channel/original music, I highly recommend it.

[@Thestr8noodle]

My first time hearing about this album and my brother had asked me if I'd heard of their songs, I said I hadn't. He showed me and boy do i love the vocals and the chorus. Gave me similar vibes to Evanescence. This stuff rocks!

[@philipnemeth-sgbc-riff-addict]

Rage of Light "Beautiful Slave"... is another great song by another one of her musical projects. Cool shit man. She's a beast

[@SwissGTO]

She left Rage of light btw

[@philipnemeth-sgbc-riff-addict]

@@SwissGTO yeah I know, just suggesting other body of works she's been involved in. I am so glad she's got her own band allowing her own creative processes and ideas to lead. Cheers Patrick and thanks for the reply. \m/

[@danteabby]

Crown the Empire , In another life featuring Courtney Laplante is a BANGER!!!!!!

Our Hollow Our Home - Wraiths Best Metalcore

[@stephenwevans]

When I first saw the video, I immediately thought, "Sarah Longfield Signature? What a wonderful surprise!" (If you don't know of her music, gotta check her out.) The first album by Ad Infinitum has probably, hands down, been my favorite new album during pandemic times. It's always in the car and on the rare occasions I go somewhere, it's just a constant, beautiful companion. Great band, great reaction, thanks for sharing.

[@MetalCharlo]

It's one of those bands where everything just clicks together perfectly. They got my full attention with the first album and that song is just further confirming they will be a big deal in the coming years. Beast in Black is also one of the upcomers with a new single and album on the way!

[@JanStuivenberg2810]

This song really grows on you. The first time I heard it I rhougt it was a nice song but not great. Now I heard it for the ninth time and I like it very much.

[@Mokoship]

When I watched this music video the first time and saw the guitar my first thought was I hope Tank does a vid on this one.

[@kevinmaccormack941]

Great review Tank; they are really THE up and coming power/symphonic metal band from Europe. Please react to the new video from Times of Grace - Far From Heavenless

[@kylehoffman7396]

She worked along side Warkings for two of their songs; Sparta and Sons of Odin. Can’t wait to see your reaction to this though haha 😂

[@Imurai]

Glad my suggesdtion got through :) I really missed at least one purely harsh section tho :( I really like the balance of havcing parts that are purely clean or harsh and having others with a mix. Oh well, maybe next time.

[@daniellesouza4818]

Discovered Melissa through Rage Of Light years ago and was very impressed by her vocal power! Disappointed she parted ways but looks like she’s happy to be more focused on Ad Infinitum and it’s direction. Look forward to the new album. Meanwhile, you should check out Floor Jansen, currently with Nightwish, vocal range. Greatest female vocalist in Metal and in any genre. She does covers on Beste Zangers. Love her recent project with Northward. Love to see a second album. Lucky to see her previous band, ReVamp, just before calling it quits. Very productive woman! Love to hear your professional take. Ghost love score is a popular song for reactors. She isn’t the original vocalist when it was written but love how she took the song under her wing. Now has two albums with the band which neither disappoint. Tuomas H. is an incredible writer, creating a magical & theatrical atmosphere. So, add to your list of reactions! ☺️🤘

[@utbdoug]

Love Ad Infinitum. They're a daily listen.. Napalm have some of the best bands on their books right now.. Ad Infinitum, Jinjer, Warkings, Feuerschwanz, Sumo Cyco

[@AKubica42]

While I'm familiar with her vocals from Rage of Light, this was the first time I've listened to them as well. I think I too have a new band to get into! 🤘

what a good song, melissa bonny is so amazing ...

[@ferdinandstrau3513]

A song you might want to react to: Above the sky from Majestica. Awesome from Tommy Johannsons Band with a lot of gear
