BEYOND THE BLACK's "Rising High" European Tour Kicks Off This Month

10 January 2026  ·  Tour News  · By Scorpio

With "Break The Silence" now in the hands of fans, BEYOND THE BLACK are preparing to launch their "Rising High" European headline tour this month. The German symphonic metal quintet, fronted by vocalist Jennifer Haben, will bring their cinematic live show across major European cities in support of their sixth album. The tour promises an immersive setlist blending new material from "Break The Silence" — including the collaborative tracks featuring LORD OF THE LOST and LOVEBITES guests — with fan favorites from their extensive catalog.

European dates span January through February, covering Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and beyond. The "Rising High" tour represents a significant step up in production for BEYOND THE BLACK, who have steadily grown from a club-level act to one of the leading forces in European symphonic metal. Haben has spoken in recent interviews about the band's desire to create a fully immersive concert experience that matches the cinematic scope of their recorded material, with enhanced lighting rigs and synchronized visual displays that underscore the dramatic dynamics of their setlist.

The sixth album "Break The Silence" has been praised by critics for its ambitious scope, blending orchestral arrangements with crushing modern metal riffs in a way that bridges the gap between NIGHTWISH-style symphonic grandeur and contemporary metalcore heaviness. Guest appearances from LORD OF THE LOST vocalist Chris Harms and LOVEBITES guitarist Midori add unexpected dimensions to the album's sonic palette. The live renditions of these collaborative tracks will feature the core band performing all parts, giving the songs a rawer, more aggressive edge than their studio counterparts. VIP packages include meet-and-greet sessions and exclusive merchandise, with several dates already approaching sold-out status across Germany and the Netherlands.
