Behind The Tracks: The Hardkiss/Beyond The Black – Not This Time (Single) (2026)

THE HARDKISS continues to deepen their ties with Europe’s rock and metal scene, joining forces with German symphonic metal force BEYOND THE BLACK on an empowering rock ballad about reclaiming your inner voice and strength.

Jennifer Haben’s voice brings a striking contrast to the song, harmonising beautifully with Julia Sanina’s. The music video hits like a short film, pulling fans into a story where they feel the pain and fight their way to the light.

A battle cry for self-worth and the freedom to shape your own future, the song carries one clear message: you are enough, just as you are. This female anthem of resilience fuses the raw energy of both bands into an explosive, emotionally charged rock-metal sound.
