Abyss (Ad Infinitum Album)
''Abyss'' is the fourth studio album by Swiss/German symphonic metal band Ad Infinitum (Swiss band), Ad Infinitum, released by Napalm Records on 11 October 2024. Reception The album received largely positive reviews from critics, but was polarising among fans due to its movement away from the style of the band's previous albums. Distorted Sound Magazine commented on this, saying "Abyss needs to be judged as the album it is, rather than the album people thought it should be. And on that basis, it would be tough to feel disappointed".

Ad Infinitum (Swiss Band) Albums
''Ad infinitum'' is a Latin phrase meaning "to infinity" or "forevermore". Description In context, it usually means "continue forever, without limit" and this can be used to describe a non-terminating process, a non-terminating ''repeating'' process, or a set of instructions to be repeated "forever," among other uses. It may also be used in a manner similar to the Latin phrase ''et cetera'' to denote written words or a concept that continues for a lengthy period beyond what is shown. Examples include: * "The sequence 1, 2, 3, ... continues ''ad infinitum''." * "The perimeter of a fractal may be iteratively drawn ''ad infinitum''." The 17th-century writer Jonathan Swift incorporated the idea of self-similarity in the following lines from his satirical poem ''On Poetry: a Rhapsody'' (1733): The vermin only teaze and pinch Their foes superior by an inch. So, naturalists observe, a flea Has smaller fleas that on him prey; And these have smaller still to bite 'em, And so proceed ''ad ...

Napalm Records Albums
Napalm is an incendiary mixture of a gelling agent and a volatile petrochemical (usually gasoline or diesel fuel). The name is a portmanteau of two of the constituents of the original thickening and gelling agents: coprecipitated aluminium salts of ''na''phthenic acid and ''palm''itic acid. A team led by chemist Louis Fieser originally developed napalm for the US Chemical Warfare Service in 1942 in a secret laboratory at Harvard University. Of immediate first interest was its viability as an incendiary device to be used in American fire bombing campaigns during World War II; its potential to be coherently projected into a solid stream that would carry for distance (instead of the bloomy fireball of pure gasoline) resulted in widespread adoption in infantry and tank/boat mounted flamethrowers as well. Napalm burns at temperatures ranging from . It burns longer than gasoline, is more easily dispersed, and adheres to its targets. These traits make it both effective and con ...
