Dear crowdfunders,

«Chapter I: Monarchy» is out! We hope that you (will) love it :-) Some of you already received their crowdfunding package at home, some are still waiting. Do not worry, Nik and I are dispatching about 200 shipments, physical, digital or both. As mentioned before, it takes a bit more time than it should have because of the coronavirus situation.

Those of you who ordered some digital perks received or will receive them by email (don’t forget to check your spams). In this email, there is a downloading link containing the files in high quality format.

Should there be any problem or should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at the address contact@adinfinitumofficial.com. If you haven’t yet confirmed your address (if you ordered some physical items) or your shirt size (if you ordered a shirt), thank you in advance for doing it :-)

We thank you for your patience and understanding and wish you a beautiful week! The Ad Infinitums

Sneak peek & Delivery information!By Melissa Bonny, on 01/04/2020

Dear crowdfunders,

Here is a sneak peek of some of the hand/home made items, crafted by Nik and Melissa for some of the crowdfunding perks! Nik took care of carving our band name in the wood and painting these beautiful boxes and Melissa created 70 unique bracelets. We hope you will love them as well as the other items you will receive!

The whole world has been impacted in many ways by the COVID-19. We wanted to inform you about two small impacts that might affect you as our crowdfunders:

1) Many of you wanted to pick up your items during our European tour which has been postponed to February 2021. Do not worry, you will receive everything at home.

2) Since the borders have been closed and the tour postponed, the band hasn’t been able to gather. Therefore, we had to work together remotely, shipping parcels from one country to another. For this reason and because of potential delays of the international shipments also due to the COVID-19 situation, you might receive your package(s) with a bit of delay. We hope you will understand it.

Thank you very much, warmly, Ad Infinitum

Dear crowdfunders, Time has come! In the coming weeks, we will prepare your CDs, shirts, boxes and other goodies. In order to make sure that everything will go smoothly we will need some info from you.

1) If you ordered some physical merchandising, please confirm your shipping address. 2) If you ordered a shirt, please let us know which size (unisex shirts) you wish to receive. 3) If you ordered a bracelet, please let us know approximately the size of your wrist.

As you have seen, we didn’t add any shipping cost to the price of the perks. If some of you are attending one of the shows of our tour in April (when the release will take place) and agree to receive your order directly at the show you are attending, delivered by the band, please let us know. This will help us reduce the our shipping costs. Thank you very much :-)

Please let us know by sending us an email: contact@adinfinitumofficial.com

In a few hours, we will release the very first single and video of our album. Are you ready?? ;-)

Warmly, Ad Infinitum

Chers Crowdfunders, Le temps est venu pour nous de préparer vos CDs, t-shirts et autres contreparties! Afin que tout se passe bien, nous avons besoin de quelques renseignements de votre part.

1) Si vous avez commandé du merchandising physique, merci de confirmer l’adresse d’envoi. 2) Si vous avez commandé un t-shirt, merci de nous confirmer la taille (t-shirt unisex) que vous souhaitez recevoir. 3) Si vous avez commandé un bracelet, merci de nous indiquer approximativement la taille de votre poignet.

Comme vous avez pu le constater, nous n’avons pas ajouté de frais d’envoi au prix des contreparties. Si certains d’entre vous prévoient d’assister à l’un de nos concerts au mois d’avril (qui coincident avec la sortie de l’album) et acceptent de recevoir votre commande directement au concert, en main propre de la part du groupe, merci de nous l’indiquer. Cela nous aidera à réduire les frais d’envoi. Merci beaucoup :-)

Merci de répondre à l’adresse suivante: contact@adinfinitumofficial.com

Dans quelques heures, le premier single ainsi que la première video de notre album seront disponibles. Êtes-vous prêts?? ;-)

Chaleureusement, Ad Infinitum

Dear Crowdfunders,

I hope you are all very well, enjoying the festival season!

You might have seen it on social media, Ad Infinitum announced some great news this week.

First of all, the band signed a worldwide record deal with Napalm Records. We couldn’t expect for a better collaboration to release our album and we are very happy and grateful!

This signature doesn’t change anything for the rewards of the crowdfunding campaign. Every package will be prepared by the band when the album and the merchandising items will be ready. Reminder: for obvious reasons, everything will be sent close to the release date as mentionned.

Second amazing news: the album released will be followed by a European tour headlined by the Austrian Symphonic Power Metal band Serenity, with the Swedish Power Metal band Dynazty as special guest.

And last but not least, the names of Ad Infinitum’s band members have been revealed. Please welcome aboard Niklas Müller, Adrian Thessenvitz and Jonas Asplind!

This would never have been possible without your warm and precious support. In the name of the entire band THANK YOU!


Cher Crowdfunders,

J’espère que vous allez bien et profitez de la saison festivalière!

Vous l’avez peut-être vu sur les réseaux sociaux, Ad Infinitum vient d’annoncer de merveilleuses nouvelles cette semaine.

Pour commencer, le groupe a signé un contrat avec le label Napalm Records. Nous ne pouvions espérer une meilleure collaboration pour la sortie de notre album et sommes très heureux et reconnaissants!

La signature ne change rien pour les participants du crowdfunding, chaque paquet sera préparé par le groupe une fois que l’album et le merchandisng seront prêts. Rappel: comme mentionné, pour des raisons évidentes, tout sera envoyé proche de la date de sortie de l’album.

Deuxième merveilleuse nouvelle: la sortie de l’album sera suivie d’une tournée européenne ayant pour tête d’affiche le groupe de Symphonic Power Metal autrichien Serenity ainsi que le groupe de Power Metal suédois Dynazty comme invité spécial.

Et pour terminer, les noms des membres du groupe ont été révélés. Bienvenue à Niklas Müller, Adrian Thessenvitz et Jonas Asplind!

Tout ceci n’aurait jamais été possible sans votre chaleureux et précieux soutien. Au nom de tout le groupe un IMMENSE MERCI!
