Beyond the Black is a German symphonic metal band formed in 2014 in Mannheim.[1][2] Their debut album Songs of Love and Death became popular immediately after the release, and entered the German and Austrian national music charts.[3]

History

The band was formed in 2014 in Mannheim, Germany by Jennifer Haben (vocalist, ex-Saphir). After finishing the production of Beyond the Black's first album together with her producers, Haben engaged Nils Lesser (lead guitar), Christopher Hummels (rhythm guitar/backing vocals), Michael Hauser (keyboards), Erwin Schmidt (bass) and Tobias Derer (drums) as live musicians. They made their first appearances at the Wacken Open Air 2014 festival and on tour supporting Saxon and Hell.[4][5]

On 13 February 2015, Beyond the Black released their debut full-length album Songs of Love and Death, which reached the 12th place in the German music charts[6] and 21st place in the Austrian charts.[3][7] The album was produced by Sascha Paeth (Avantasia) and received mostly positive reviews from critics.[8][9] A week later, on February 20, the band appeared on the German Sat.1 Breakfast television with the song "In the Shadows".[10]

From 13 May 2015, the band embarked on its first tour through Germany, including an appearance at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen on May 23, 2015[11] and several more festivals in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Beyond the Black's second album, titled Lost in Forever, was released on the 12 February 2016 and features 13 tracks. The deluxe edition features 9 live songs (including an unreleased cover), an interview and an interactive menu.

On July 15, 2016, the band announced that Jennifer Haben and her musicians were parting ways. Haben continued the band with new members.[12] The new band line-up (Kai Tschierschky (drums), Tobi Lodes (rhythm guitar), Chris Hermsdörfer (lead guitar), Stefan Herkenhoff (bass) and Jonas Roßner (keyboards)) was announced in November 2016 and organized as a permanent-member band from this time on.

On January 13, 2017, the band's second album Lost In Forever was released as a Tour Edition with additional song material. Beyond the Black started touring internationally then with shows in the UK, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia and Japan. In 2017 the band also toured as a support act for Aerosmith and Scorpions.

In spring 2018, keyboardist Jonas Roßner left Beyond the Black for private reasons. On August 31, 2018, their third album Heart of the Hurricane was released, followed by an extensive European tour as support for the Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation till the end of the year.

In 2019, the band released a Black Edition of their album Heart of the Hurricane with three new songs and went on a European headline tour, which has mainly sold out.

On June 19, 2020, Beyond the Black released their fourth album Hørizøns, reaching the bands highest chart positions to date. In the course of the release, the band announced a European co-headline tour together with the Swedish/Danish metal band Amaranthe.

In July 2022 they took part in the 4 days rock fest "Midalidare - Rock in the Wine Valley",[13][14] on the evening of Within Temptation.

On September 9, 2022, Amaranthe released an alternate single version (including a lyric video) of their song "Make It Better", with Haben as a guest singer.
