After months of anticipation, 'Beyond The Black' have officially released their sixth studio album, "Break The Silence", today, January 9, 2026. The record marks a defining moment for the band, arriving as their most ambitious and fully realized statement to date.
Following a period of relentless touring and steady growth, "Break The Silence" feels like the culmination of everything 'Beyond The Black' have been building toward. A concept album rooted in melodic and symphonic metal, it explores themes of communication, resilience, inner strength and the need to reconnect in an increasingly fractured world.
Rather than rushing a follow up, the band took their time shaping a record that feels deliberate, layered and emotionally driven. The result is an album that balances power and vulnerability while expanding their sonic identity without losing focus.
“Let There Be Rain” Video Released
Together with the album’s release, 'Beyond The Black' have unveiled the official music video for “Let There Be Rain”, one of the most striking tracks on the record. The song features a guest appearance by 'The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices', whose unmistakable harmonies add a haunting and cinematic depth.
Singer Jennifer Haben described the song as a turning point for the album: "Let There Be Rain’ is about embracing the storm instead of fighting it. Sometimes the rain is exactly what we need to let go, gain clarity and move forward. With this song, the chapter is complete and now the full story belongs to the listeners.”
The track perfectly encapsulates the album’s emotional core, blending symphonic grandeur with ethno influenced textures and a strong melodic backbone.
A Record Built On Collaboration And Identity
"Break The Silence" also stands out for its carefully chosen collaborations. Chris Harms appears on “The Art Of Being Alone”, while Asami lends her voice to “Can You Hear Me”, adding further contrast and character across the album.
Each guest feels integrated into the narrative rather than added for novelty, reinforcing the album’s sense of cohesion and purpose.
