German Symphonic Metal shooting stars Beyond the Black are looking back on a phenomenal story.
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. On top it was awarded with the Metal Hammer Award
2015 for “Best Debut”. Its successor “Lost In Forever” (2016) entered the German charts on #4 right
away and paved the way for a huge tour leading the band from Germany to countries like UK, Russia
and Japan. Since the band’s live debut in 2014 they have played the world’s biggest Metal festival
Wacken Open Air several times and toured as a support act for heavy weights such as Aerosmith,
Korn, Scorpions, Saxon or Within Temptation. In the course of album release number three (“Heart
Of the Hurricane”) Beyond the Black absolved their first own European headline tour in fall 2019
consisting of over 20 shows in 10 countries – most of them sold out. The band didn’t stop there:
Beyond the Black got back to the studio to write record number four. The highly anticipated
“Horizons” was released in June 2020 and entered the German album charts on #3 (CH #6, AT#16, BE
#53). The pandemic led to compulsory break but Beyond the Black stayed creative and came back
with a bang in 2022, stronger than ever: Following their most successful European headline to date in
Fall 2022, their fifth studio album, self-titled “Beyond the Black”, dropped in January 2023.It charted
in several countries (DE #2, UK #2 Rock, CH #6, AT#12, SE #12, US #7 top new artist) and marks the
band’s highest acclaimed album release until now. During playing a successful festival summer in
2023, Beyond The Black just announced their next European Headline Tour „Dancing In The Dark“
starting in April 2024.
