What has been the toughest and the easiest part of creating this new record, given the period we’re still living? We could say that, somehow, last year and the pandemic itself have both increased your will of stepping up your game (to put yourself out there) and continuing this “journey”, that as you perfectly described previously, could be seen or read as a book. I guess that Ad Infinitum will always be your main priority: indeed, in three days the second album, “Chapter II: Legacy” will be out on Napalm Records. We decided to accept the offer and to start creating an album. It started with just one song, it was sent out of curiosity to their manager, who sent it to Napalm and the label said: “Hey guys, let’s hear more about this”. He said: “Yeah, this is something we can do together”. He said: “Okay, fine” and they reached one million first, right before us, and he said: “Okay, I want the bet to end and my dare to you is that we record a cover of Game Of Thrones”, because he was already doing this project to transform Game Of Thrones into metal songs. I just texted him saying: “Hey, whoever reaches the million first, wins the bet and can give a dare to the other!”. Melissa: Ehm, it’s a pretty funny story, because it started with Hans, because the video with Feuerschwanz, “Ding”, was about to reach the million plays and “Marching On Versailles” was also to reach the million plays on Youtube.
What has pushed you to all these changes? Is there a peculiar reason or did you simply feel the need to test yourself in something that could revamp your creativity, your desire of creating music? Well, some thing has changed from the latest time we’ve spoken: first of all, you’ve released the acoustic version of “Chapter I: Monarchy”, then you’ve parted ways with Rage Of Light and you introduced your new band, The Dark Side Of The Moon. It’s been an year almost after our first chat. Hi Melissa, welcome back to Femme Metal Webzine. We had the chance to exchange a very beautiful chat with this young and very promising lady about this newborn baby. Amongst all these, Ad Infinitum seemed to find its own spot: the symphonic metal band led by the talented Melissa Bonny is getting ready to unleash its fury in its brand new record, “Chapter II: Legacy”, that will be out tomorrow, October 29th 2021, via Napalm Records. 2021 seemed to be a very productive year for metal bands.
