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.
