Beyond The Puppet Master's Reach

The German symphonic metal band Beyond the Black return with their fifth full length record, the self-titled Beyond the Black. German Symphonic Metal shooting stars Beyond the Black look back on a stratospheric success story. Already their 2015 debut album hit like a bomb in their home country. Songs Of Love And Death besieged the German Top 15 for weeks and lead up to the band being awarded the Metal Hammer Award 2015 for "Best Debut". It's successor Lost In Forever (2016) entered the German charts on #4 right away and paved ways for a huge tour from Germany over countries like UK, Russia or Japan. Since the band's live debut in 2014 they have played the world's biggest Metal festival Wacken Open Air several times and toured as a support act for heavyweights such as Aerosmith, Korn, Scorpions, Saxon or Within Temptation.

Beyond the Ghost presents his third album in the Europa Series, a futuristic, bleak and moving sound voyage that merges electronics and acoustics.
Rome, the year is 2062. The whole of Europe has been falling apart for 2 years now. No one is quite sure what war even means at this point. In Rome, a few dozen soldiers of The Alliance fight against small groups of citizens who joined the resistance. Those who are too scared just hide away in bombed-out houses, starving to death, losing their mind. A city that was once beautiful has become the stage for an absurd tragedy of power struggles gone awry. As the sun sets over the Colosseum, a few gunshots and screams echo in the dead of night, the final tremors of a derelict world crumbling to nothingness.

The Eight Holocaust Hymns based on the Swedish Melodic Death / Melodic Black Metal sounds genealogy of cold and melodic. A powerful work packed with Beyond the Grave style while imitating the cold melodic sounds of the oldschools! Just a year ago, "Veneration of Corpses" had been unleashed and now Black Metal Maniacs are returning with the new masterpiece- "I am the Holocaust"!!!
