Beyond The Black – announce new album ‘Break The Silence’ + release single/music video for the title track

Symphonic metal sensation BEYOND THE BLACK are excited to share the news that their brand new album Break The Silence is set to be released on January 9th, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records. Alongside the album announcement, the band has unveiled a stunning music video for the title track, which you can watch here. This announcement comes only a few days prior to the band’s highly anticipated prime time show on one of the two main stages at Wacken Open Air 2025 on Wednesday, July 30th.

BEYOND THE BLACK’s sixth full length 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’s an emotional, multi-layered experience that mirrors today’s complex world and invites fans to be part of this new chapter.

Guest musicians on Break The Silence include Chris Harms from LORD OF THE LOST as well as Asami from popular Japanese power metal band LOVEBITES.

Singer Jennifer Haben commented:
On Break The Silence, we opened the door to new influences and collaborations. From symphonic to ethnic elements and guest artists who brought their own style into the mix — this album reflects everything we love about making music without boundaries. It’s a powerful blend of who we are and who we’re becoming
