... at the Pilsen METALFEST!

METALFEST OPEN AIR 2026 – Lochotín Amphitheatre, PILSEN – 5. – 7. 6. 2026

Symphonic metal sensation BEYOND THE BLACK is celebrating! Last week they released their long-awaited, sixth studio album “Break The Silence”! A concept album rooted in melodic metal with ethno influences, it explores themes of communication, inner strength, resilience 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' explore how words – and their absence – shape our reality. It's an emotional, multi-layered experience that reflects today's complex world and invites fans to become part of this new chapter.

Alongside the album release, BEYOND THE BLACK premiered a music video for the song “Let There Be Rain,” featuring Gergana Dimitrova, lead singer of Grammy-winning band The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices.

Singer Jennifer Haben said: “‘Let There Be Rain’ is about embracing the storm instead of fighting it, because sometimes the rain is what we need to let go and move on. With this song, our work is now done and we’re excited that this whole story is in your hands now“
