Exclusive ‘Dancing In The Dark’ T-Shirt.
To celebrate the successful start of the tour, we have now produced an exclusive ‘Dancing in The Dark’ T-Shirt, which glows in the dark.
After the release of their very successful self-titled album Beyond The Black, which was released in January 2023 the band now release a deluxe edition of their album. The deluxe edition features three bonus tracks ‘I Remember Dying (Stranger Reprise)’, ‘Wide Awake (Piano Version)’ and ‘Raise Your Head (String Version)’. Today the band also release their brand new video for ‘Raise Your Head (String Version)’. Their highly-anticipated Dancing In The Dark tour starts in April 2024. All tourdates are listed below.
Jennifer Haben comments about the deluxe edition: “How quickly time flies. It’s been a year since the release of our 5th studio album “BEYOND THE BLACK“. We are very pleased that we can now give our fans a special gift for its anniversary with the digital deluxe edition including 3 exceptional bonus tracks.”
Jennifer Haben states about ‘Raise Your Head (String Version)’: “From the bottom of my heart, in my opinion this bonus “String Version” is one of – if not THE best bonus song we’ve ever released. „Raise Your Head” is a call to everyone who feels trapped in their lives and is looking for a way out. It’s a reminder that we are all capable of breaking free from societal expectations and forging our own path, if only we have the courage to look behind the illusions and “raise our heads“.”

After the release of their very successful self-titled album Beyond The Black, which was released in January 2023 the band now share the brand new piano version of the song ‘Wide Awake‘. The piano version of ‘Wide Awake‘ is the perfect song to start the pre Christmas time and gets you in the right mood. Their highly-anticipated Dancing In The Dark tour starts in April 2024. All tourdates are listed below.
Jennifer Haben comments: “The piano version of “Wide Awake” is something very special, because the song’s creation process began with piano and vocals. I love that this pure, almost naked version, as it originally was, can now be heard by everyone. The song couldn’t feel more personal to me.”

About BEYOND THE BLACK: German Symphonic Metal ascending stars BEYOND THE BLACK can already look back across a stratospherically successful career, despite their youthful years. Upon release, their 2015 debut album hit like a bomb in their home country. Songs Of Love And Deathbesieged the German Top 15 for weeks, which led to the band being awarded the Metal Hammer Award for “Best Debut” in 2015. Its successor Lost In Forever (2016) entered the German charts at #4 and paved the way for a huge tour throughout Germany, and across countries like the UK, Russia and Japan. Since the band’s live debut in 2014 they have played some of the world’s biggest Metal festival like Wacken Open Air (several times) and have toured as support to heavy weights such as AEROSMITH, KORN, SCORPIONS, SAXON and WITHIN TEMPTATION. During the campaign for their third record Heart Of the Hurricane(2018),BEYOND THE BLACK landedtheir first ever European headline tour, which took them across 10 countries, with most dates selling out.
Before they’d even finished the Heart Of the Hurricane touring cycle, BEYOND THE BLACKhad already gone back to the studio to write and record album number four. The result was Horizons,released in June 2020, which entered the German album charts at #3 (CH #6, AT #16, BE #53) marking the band’s most successful album release to date.
Now, two years later, BEYOND THE BLACK are back to launch a new chapter. Following the release of recently highly acclaimed tracks ‘Reincarnation‘, ‘Is There Anybody Out There‘, ‘Winter Is Coming’ and ‘Dancing In The Dark’, the band release their new, fifth studio album – the self-titled Beyond the Black on January 13th 2023!
After the release of their very successful self-titled album BEYOND THE BLACK, which was released in January 2023 the band now share the brand new single ‘Call My Name’ with their fans. Beside that BEYOND THE BLACK also announce their Dancing In The Dark tour for 2024.
Jennifer Haben comments: „With “Call My Name” we wanted to create a song with whom you cannot help but bang your head real hard. It’s organic, honest and in your face. Inspired by the story of Stephen Kings The Dark Tower we’ve formed a symbiosis of its elements and our own to tell a whole new tale about yearning, persistence and these wounds of human life that feel as if they will never heal completely.”
