Chapter III: Downfall is the third studio album by Swiss/German symphonic metal band Ad Infinitum, released by Napalm Records on 31 March 2023. [1]
The album received mostly positive reviews. Distorted Sound Magazine described it as "an album where every track is a potential single in waiting, it's a lean, efficient and finely-tuned machine. It's three-quarters-of-an-hour packed with pop choruses, bouncy rhythms and catchy melodies, with just the right amount of grit under the fingernails." [2]
