A younger and heavier sound that defines Ad Infinitum like never before.”Ĭhapter II - Legacy once again showcases the indispensable creativity of Ad Infinitum - featuring twelve complex, marvelous tracks highlighting their sonic development and undeniable symphonic strength.

It represents months and months of hard work of four bandmates, for a result that we are proud to call “self-produced”.
