Beyond the Black Unveil the Emotional New Single “Ravens” Ahead of 2026 Album Break The Silence 💀

Symphonic metal powerhouse Beyond the Black return with a soaring, deeply emotional new single, “Ravens,” the fifth preview from their upcoming studio album Break The Silence — arriving January 9th, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records.

“Ravens” is a tribute to unity, loyalty, and shared resilience — rising together through darkness like the birds that give the song its name. The single and its accompanying video feature contributions from Beyond the Black fans themselves, embodying the album’s central theme: breaking communication barriers and forging connection in a divided world.

Frontwoman Jennifer Haben describes it perfectly:

“‘Ravens’ is about belonging — about finding light in others when everything feels disconnected. Hearing our fans’ voices on this song made that message real in the most beautiful way.”

The band adds a heartfelt message to their community:

“This song was created with our fans at its heart. Thank you, our RAVENS, for helping us bring it to life.”

The upcoming sixth album, Break The Silence, expands Beyond the Black’s signature melodic metal into a cinematic concept record blending ethno influences and emotional depth. Tracks such as “Let There Be Rain,” “(La Vie Est Un) Cinéma,” “Ravens,” and “The Flood” explore how communication — or the lack of it — shapes relationships, identity, and resilience. It’s a multilayered journey reflecting the complexities of the modern world.

BEYOND THE BLACK Teams Up with LORD OF THE LOST on New Single, Announces Upcoming Album, Releases Music Video

Symphonic metal sensation BEYOND THE BLACK is excited to share the third single from their eagerly awaited upcoming studio album, Break The Silence, which is set to be released on January 9, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The emotional anthem ‘The Art Of Being Alone’ features none other than Chris Harms of acclaimed German metal band Lord Of The Lost on guest vocals. The song deals with important contemporary issues such as mental health, self-empowerment, and positive life perception. A compelling video has also been released alongside the single, illustrating the feeling of being alone and cornered while ultimately showing a path to self-awareness and a way out of this mental prison.

Singer Jennifer Haben commented, “‘The Art Of Being Alone’ is one of the most emotional songs for us since it‘s born from personal battles and quiet reflections. We wanted it to be fragile and powerful at the same time and we believe many of you will find your own story between its lines. Having Chris Harms join us with his uniquely intense voice and personality felt absolutely perfect and brought a depth to this track that made it even more special.”

Chris Harms (Lord Of The Lost) added, “This duet was long overdue! For more than 10 years now, LORD OF THE LOST and BEYOND THE BLACK have been crossing paths — we like and appreciate each other and it was kind of obvious that Jenny’s and my voices would work great together. Now we’ve finally made it happen and created this powerful, goosebump-inducing song together! I’m really happy about it!”

BEYOND THE BLACK’s sixth full-length album, Break The Silence, is a concept album rooted in melodic metal with ethno influences. It explores themes of communication, inner strength, resilience, and the urgent need to reconnect in a divided world. Tracks like ‘Let There Be Rain’, ‘(La Vie Est Un) Cinéma’, ‘Ravens’, and ‘The Flood’ examine how words – and their absence – shape our reality. It is an emotional, multi-layered experience that mirrors today’s complex world and invites fans to be part of this new chapter.

About BEYOND THE BLACK

Since their formation, German symphonic metal band BEYOND THE BLACK have become one of the most exciting forces in modern symphonic metal. Their debut album in 2015, Songs Of Love And Death, was an instant success, earning the Metal Hammer Award for “Best Debut.” They have since played the world’s biggest metal festivals, including Wacken Open Air, and supported international acts like Aerosmith, Korn, and the Scorpions. Following their self-titled fifth album in 2023, which charted in several countries, they embarked on their most successful European headline tour to date in early 2024. The band reached another milestone in early 2025 with their first-ever Latin America tour, and will take the stage at prestigious European festivals again this summer before launching their next European headline tour, Rising High, in early 2026.
