BRAINSTORM, the acclaimed Southern German metal band, proudly present the lyric video for their thrilling second single, 'Beyond Enemy Lines,' from their highly anticipated album, "Plague Of Rats." This new album is set to launch on February 28, 2025 via RPM. Continuing the momentum from their successful first single, 'Garuda (Eater Of Snakes),' BRAINSTORM introduce 'Beyond Enemy Lines.' This track is sure to captivate not only the band's fans but also lovers of high-octane metal music. Featuring intricate guitar tapping, powerful drumming, and majestic orchestration, the song perfectly encapsulates what a leading track in a heavy/power metal album should offer. Frontman Andy B. Franck brings a unique intensity to the song, with lyrics that explore themes of war on a deeply personal level.

"'Beyond Enemy Lines' combines many of our trademarks with recent, modern influences. The track has incredible power: it's fast, goes straight into your neck and also deals with it a lyrical topic that concerns us all very much. Overcoming mental boundaries and trusting strangers or giving them a chance has become very difficult. Escaping into hatred and agitation is easier and promotes violence and wars. This is also a topic for BRAINSTORM that we would like to take up in order to draw attention. Of course, only a song that has power goes with it. We are very proud of that because this track has exactly that power!" add BRAINSTORM.
