Beyond the Black<\/strong> confirmed \u2014if it was still necessary\u2014 that Germany knows what metal music is like, and particularly symphonic metal in their case. After winning the Metal Hammer 2015<\/strong> of \u201cBest Debut\u201d, they confirmed their talents with 5th studio albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I personally discovered them with their album \u201cHorizons\u201d with tracks such as \u201cSome Kind of Monster\u201d and \u201cParalyzed\u201d. Since then, I have been following what they are doing and I was looking forward to hearing their new album, \"Break the Silence\", released on January 9th 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band released amazing singles before that: \u201cRising High\u201d, the first track of the album, \u201cBreak the Silence\u201d, \u201cThe Art of Being Alone\u201d with the singer of Lord of the Lost<\/strong> and finally \u201cRavens\u201d in December, a little more than one month before the final release of the album. Four singles were more than enough to fire up my interest. But isn't it quite a lot if we consider that the album contains ten tracks in total?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new album is in line with what Beyond the Black<\/strong> did before and the two first tracks were not surprising: we can find their fresh and powerful sound with the amazing voice of Jennifer Haben<\/strong>who carries the band since the beginning. It is good and it works! And for sure the beautiful and deep lyrics with themes such as inner strength and resilience, but also sadness and pain. Still one thing I love about this band is their ability to talk about heavy subjects without making it depressing.
\u201cThe Art of Being Alone\u201d, third song of this album, is a very powerful track with the participation of Chris Harms<\/strong> (Lord of the Lost). His deep voice brings another dimension to Jennifer Haben<\/strong>'s sublime vocals. This song is for me the turning point of the album: followed by \u201cLet There Be Rain\u201d and the mysterious Bulgarian backing vocals, it announces a wind of novelty. Beyond the Black is always recognizable but never stagnant: they keep trying new things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
