This German symphonic/power metal band hit the ground running with the release of their maiden CD ‘Songs of Love and Death’ (2015), taking cues from the likes of Sirenia and Amaranthe. ‘Lost in Forever’ dropped one year later to the day and although their sophomore effort was well-received, singer Jennifer Haben and the rest of the band parted ways. Four new members were recruited and ‘Heart of the Hurricane’ (2018) was the quintet’s first output since signing a worldwide deal with Napalm Records. Initially opening for the likes of Aerosmith, Korn, Scorpions and Within Temptation, they are set to embark on the Rising High tour in 2026 but first things first: Beyond the Black are bringing their larger-than-life sound, infectious lyrics, Jennifer Haben’s huge reach and stomp-along riffs to GMM2025! #GMM25
