It seems the members are fighting each other to see how can claim victory over this mess of sound and this happens during the rest of the track. And that's about where I decide to skip to the next track. Then, all of a sudden, the heaviness pops in and the music becomes a chaotic wave of noise. It starts off quietly with eerie synths - it sounds like something from a 50's horror movie! This is well complemented by the ever accelerating drums and accoustic guitars. I love the buildup for 'Ad Infinitum (Dark I) '. If I had to name a perk of this demo, it would be about how creepy it sounds sometimes. Nevertheless you sure won't find anything like this on most of Astrofaes' other releases. Most of Ad Infinitum is a random mess of ideas that can be interesting if you're open minded, but otherwise not very essential for anyone's collection. I am actually not sure what they were trying to accomplish here. Where Astrofeas is usually known for making heavier, faster driven black metal with a touch of ambiance, their first demo borders on the line of experimental music, featuring a number of effects that don't appear on other albums, and some strange songwriting. Hans won and challenged Melissa to record a metal version of their latest released single 'Jenny Of Oldstones', and the rest is history! Exploring the fantastical lives of famous pop culture heroes since their childhood, the multitalented musicians transform soundtracks of worldwide known movies, TV shows and video games into powerful metal tracks on the debut album Metamorphosis.Ad Infinitum sounds nothing like the traditional work of Astrofaes. THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON started with a bet between AD INFINITUM singer Melissa Bonny and Hans Platz, the guitarist of FEUERSCHWANZ. With this album, the unit around Ad Infinitum vocal queen Melissa Bonny and Feuerschwanz guitar virtuoso Hans Platz dip their soundscapes into mystical worlds, reinterpreting famous soundtrack themes and writing their own songs dedicated to their favorite characters. Sharing their stories with a dedicated fanbase, they now announce their debut album, Metamorphosis, out via Napalm Records. THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, the fantastic metal quartet formed by members of Feuerschwanz, Amaranthe and Ad Infinitum, love to explore unseen lands and dive into the adventures of worldwide heroic characters.
