German symphonic metal band Beyond the Black have become one of the most exciting forces
in modern symphonic metal, carving an impressive path since their formation. It started with
their debut album in 2015: Songs Of Love And Death was an instant success and stayed strong
in the German Top15 for weeks, earning the Metal Hammer Award for “Best Debut.”
Its successor Lost In Forever (2016) entered the German charts at #4 and paved the way for a
major tour through Germany, the UK, Russia and Japan. Since their live debut in 2014, the band
has played the world’s biggest metal festivals like Wacken Open Air and supported international
metal acts such as Aerosmith, Korn, Scorpions, Saxon, and Within Temptation.
With the release of their third album Heart Of The Hurricane, Beyond the Black launched their
first European headline tour in fall 2019 – over 20 shows in 10 countries, most of them sold out.
The band returned to the studio soon after and in June 2020 released the highly anticipated
Horizons, which entered the German album charts at #3 (CH #6, AT #16, BE #53).
After the pandemic-induced break, Beyond the Black came back stronger than ever: Following a
successful European tour in fall 2022, their self-titled fifth album Beyond the Black dropped in
January 2023, charting in several countries (DE #2, UK #2 Rock, CH #6, AT #12, SE #12, US #7
Top New Artist) and marking a new career high.
