NEMESIS A.D.

Symphonic metal powerhouse SERENITY unleash their new studio album, Nemesis AD! The
successor to their previous full length, The Last Knight (2020), which landed #25 on the
German album charts, is out on October 27, 2023 via Napalm Records and is the first record
with Marco Pastorino (Temperance) as additional guitarist and backing vocalist. Known for
their thematic albums inspired by historic characters and stories of the past, on Nemesis AD,
SERENITY draw inspiration from the life and highly influential art of painter Albrecht Durer of
the German renaissance.
Grandiose intro track 'Memoriae Alberti Dureri' sets the scene for the album, before
legendary singer Roy Khan (Conception, ex-Kamelot) lends his impressive vocals on the
mighty 'The Fall of Man'. ""Ritter, Tod und Teufel (Knightfall)' (named after Durer''''s famous
artwork) features lyrics sung partially in German, for the first time in the band''''s history
spanning over more than two decades. The powerful track showcases SERENITY''''s signature
blend of orchestral arrangements, heavy guitar riffs, and soaring vocals. Heart-wrenchingly
emotional yet empowering 'Reflections (of AD)' mesmerizes the listener with its aweinspiring
instrumentation, multifaceted vocals and brilliant changes throughout the gripping
eight-minute track. Theatrical 'Sun of Justice' leads the listener to a faraway fantasy world
while the vocal performance of skilled singer Georg Neuhauser ultimately unlocks the
track's hit potential. 'The End of Babylon' represents one of the darker, heavier tracks on
Nemesis AD - climactic arrangements carry the dramatic storyline. Monumental orchestral
version of 'The Fall of Man' closes the album on a thrilling note that is sure to send a chill up
your spine.
With Nemesis AD, SERENITY add yet another bombastic symphonic metal masterpiece to
their notable discography - there is no doubt that the talented unit''''s standing in the scene is
well deserved.
