Symphonic metal sensation BEYOND THE BLACK has happily shared the fifth single, “Ravens,” from their eagerly awaited upcoming studio album, ‘Break The Silence’, due for release on January 9, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records. The deeply emotional song focuses entirely on themes of resilience, loyalty, and unity, symbolizing rising through darkness together, bound by shared spirit and freedom. Singer Jennifer Haben commented that the track is about “finding light in others when everything feels disconnected,” and the message was made real because both the song and the accompanying video feature guest contributions and appearances from the band’s dedicated fans, affectionately called RAVENS.
BEYOND THE BLACK’s sixth full-length album, ‘Break The Silence’, is a concept album rooted in melodic metal with fascinating ethno influences, and it explores crucial themes of communication, inner strength, 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” all examine the profound way words, and their complete absence, shape our reality. The result is an emotional, multi-layered experience that powerfully mirrors today’s complex world and openly invites fans to be a meaningful part of this stunning new chapter in the band’s career.
The band views the recording of “Ravens” as a powerful exercise in belonging, with Jennifer Haben specifically thanking their dedicated fanbase, stating, “A very special thank you to you, our RAVENS, for being part of recording this song and bringing it to life with us.” The single underscores one of the album’s core themes: overcoming interpersonal communication barriers to connect people, and the fan inclusion in both the single and the video perfectly embodies the message. This exciting new single ensures that ‘Break The Silence’ will be one of the most compelling and relevant symphonic metal releases of the new year.
