Beyond the Black - 'Free Me' (official music video)

You have held my hand in shiver
You have felt my tainted heart
You have witnessed how I wither
Fading slowly into dark
And you've walked into the silence
Where my hope has lost it's voice
I have one thing left to ask for
Grant me this, my final choice

Free me, free me
My love, I want you
To free me, free me
My love, I want you
To free me

Just as much as I adore you
I have fought with all my heart
Now the last time I implore you
Means to lay down all your arms
Will you find this strength within you
Will you help me, I must know
We have dreamt a dream together
Hold me close and let me go

Free me, free me
My love, I want you
To free me, free me
My love, I want you

To save me from drowning - now
I'm losing my mind here - now
The shadows upon me still grow
The fighting is over - now
Release me from evil - now
Come hold me at last and let go

You have walked into the silence
Where my heartbeat used to be
May the love your eyes still show me
Be the last thing that I see - that I see

So
Free me, free me
My love, I want you
To free me, free me
My love, I want you

SOLO

My love, I want you
To free me

Μέσω singles επικοινωνούν την μουσική την περασμένη διετία οι Beyond the Black. Οι Γερμανοί symphonic metallers κυκλοφόρησαν τέσσερα πέρυσι (συν ένα το 2021). Όλα αυτά οδήγησαν στο νέο full length album των Beyond the Black, το οποίο φέρει ως τίτλο το όνομα της Γερμανικής μπάντας και κυκλοφόρησε -μέσω της Nuclear Blast- χθες.

Οι Beyond the Black μας έρχονται από την Ζάαρλαντ (ή Σάαρλαντ). Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από εννέα έτη, μας συστήνονται ως «German Symphonic Metal shooting stars» και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει πέντε "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, ένα ep και ένδεκα singles...

Δελτίο τύπου: 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 led up to the band being awarded the Metal Hammer Award 2015 for “Best Debut”.

Its 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.

In the course of album release number three (“Heart Of the Hurricane”) Beyond the Black absolved their first own European headline tour in fall 2019 consisting of over 20 shows in 10 countries - most of them sold out. But even before finishing their touring cycle Beyond the Black got back to the studio to write record number four.

The highly anticipated “Horizons” was finally released in June 2020, entered the German album charts on #3 (CH #6, AT #16, BE #53) and marks the band’s most successful album release to date.

Now, two years later, Beyond the Black are back with a bang to start a new chapter. Following the release of highly acclaimed tracks “Reincarnation” and “Is There Anybody Out There” the band announces their new, fifth studio album, which will be self-titled “Beyond the Black” and drop on January 13th 2023!
