MISSION IN BLACK are back with a bang!
The first single “RISE” from their upcoming album “Divinity Of Lies” (release date April 24, 2026) proves once again that they have no reason to hide from the big names in the genre!
Singer Steffi Stuber: “Rise” describes the path from darkness, fear, and inner struggle to strength and self-empowerment. Scars and wounds symbolize challenges that have been overcome and become a source of new strength. The song is a powerful anthem of rising up—a break from silence and the past. It conveys hope, determination, and the courage to rise again from one’s own strength.”

“RISE” is a statement, almost a threat from the band that MISSION IN BLACK will be even more powerful than ever before!

MISSION IN BLACK is a German five-piece melodic death metal band from Baden Württemberg that has been consistently forging its own path since 2010. Their sound combines metallic aggression with epic depth, blending melodic death metal with thrash influences into a powerful and energetic whole. Founded by Andy Flache (drums), Daniel Tschoepe (guitar), Martin Grimm and Hannes Jäger, the band released their first demo Black Infect in 2011, quickly earning stage time with bands such as Brainstorm and Mystic Prophecy. With their debut album Anthems Of A Dying Breed (2018, El Puerto Records), MISSION IN BLACK established themselves as a formidable live act. Their second album, Profit Reigns Supreme (2018), produced by Sebastian „Seeb“ Levermann (Orden Ogan, Rhapsody Of Fire, Brainstorm), confirmed this status and receiving strong response through ist accompanying music videos. Between 2023 and 2025, the band appeared at numerous renowned festivals, including Rage Against Racism, Area 53, Easter Cross Festival, Castle Rock Festival and Metalacker Festival. International performances in Belgium, Hungary and the Czech Republic, as well as support shows for Nightrage and Rage on the A New World Rising Tour, underlined their growing international presence. Beyond the stage, the band actively engaged in social causes: since 2024, MISSION IN BLACK have been official ambassadors of the Captain Paul Foundation Germany e.V., regularly supporting charity events. In April 2026, MISSION IN BLACK will release their third studio album Divinity Of Lies (24.04.2026), once again mixed and mastered by Sebastian „Seeb“ Levermann. A major live highlight in 2026 will be their performance at the RVBang Festival in Balingen alongside Michael Schenker, Sonata Arctica and Tankard. MISSION IN BLACK thus stands for modern melodic death metal – without compromises, committed and always moving in one direction: forward.
