Ad Infinitum

Ad Infinitum serves as the concluding installment of Of Mice & Men's 2021 EP trilogy, which was later compiled into their seventh studio album, Echo. Released in late 2021, the EP represents a significant era of self-sufficiency for the band, as they took on full production duties. Sonically, it bridges the gap between the raw post-hardcore of their early career and the more refined, melodic metalcore of their later years. The tracks 'Mosaic', 'Fighting Gravity', and 'Echo' showcase a band focused on tight, rhythmic structures and high-contrast dynamics. Critically, this period was noted for the band's ability to maintain a high output of quality material during a time of global isolation, with the 'Ad Infinitum' tracks often cited as some of the strongest and most cohesive of the trilogy, leaning heavily into themes of mortality and the infinite nature of time.
