Today, celebrated southern German metallers BRAINSTORM proudly present ‚Beyond Enemy Lines‘, a thrilling second single from their long-awaited new album „Plague Of Rats“, which will be released on February 28, 2025 via RPM. After the first single, ‚Garuda (Eater Of Snakes)‘, was already a huge hit with the Swabians‘ fans, the new track strikes a chord with all admirers of fast-as-an-arrow sounds. Concise guitar tapping, forward-pushing drums and sublime orchestration: ‚Beyond Enemy Lines‘ simply lacks nothing that makes a first-class heavy/power metal anthem. Once again, the distinctive vocals of frontman Andy B. Franck, who delivers the personal meaning of the song in a bellicose manner, are enthroned above the well-oiled instrumental fraction.
„‚Beyond Enemy Lines‘ combines many familiar elements of the BRAINSTORM sound and complements them with current, contemporary influences. The track is simply bursting with energy: it is fast, goes straight to the neck and lyrically also deals with a topic that moves us all. Overcoming mental blocks and trusting strangers is harder than ever these days. It seems to be a lot easier to drift into hatred and agitation and to glorify violence and wars. This topic also concerns us at BRAINSTORM, which is why we like to use our position to raise awareness. It was clear that we would only succeed with a powerful song. We are all the more pleased that the end result carries just that power!“, add BRAINSTORM.

Besides Andy B. Franck, there are also two remarkable guests on „Plague Of Rats“: Alex Krull (ATROCITY, LEAVES‘ EYES) contributed his inimitable growls to ‚From Hell‘, while LEAVES-EYES‘ singer Elina Siirala lent her heavenly voice to ‚Your Soul That Lingers In Me‘.
