Beyond the Styx Launches Mini-Tour for New Album DIVID at BeHorns Fest
On June 7, 2026, French metallic hardcore outfit Beyond the Styx opened a whirlwind mini‑tour to promote their fourth studio album, DIVID. The first stop was Be’Horns Fest in Barinque, where the band debuted the new material live for the first time.
DIVID hit the shelves on May 8 through Innerstrength Records and is available on CD, vinyl, cassette and every major digital platform. The release follows the band’s 2024 album Sentence and continues the aggressive blend of hardcore punk, thrash and death‑metal that has defined Beyond the Styx’s sound since their 2011 debut.
According to the band’s official website, the ten‑track album tackles war, social indifference, environmental collapse and personal breakdown. The lyrics confront listeners with a divided world, urging them to confront the evils that persist.
In a statement released alongside the tour announcement, vocalist Emile said, “Nothing has changed since writing ‘DIVID.’ On the contrary, everything has accelerated. As I often say, I don’t know exactly where we’re going, but we’re going there.” He added that the band’s purpose is to play extreme music, thrill crowds, share humanity and pass on their passion to artists past, present and future.
DIVID was recorded in July 2025 at Cornerstone Audio in Luttenberg, Netherlands. Producer and engineer Daan Nieboer handled recording, mixing and mastering, working alongside the band. The album’s art direction, illustrations and design were created by Hafiz. Guest vocals appear on two tracks: Okan Deniz of I Am Revenge on “Dust Off,” and Delphine Cheezy Crust of Sisterhood Issues on “Flowerviolence.”
The tour lineup features Emile (vocals), Adrien (drums), David (rhythm guitar), Yoann (bass) and Guillaume (lead guitar). With over 300 shows under their belt, the group has shared stages with Sepultura, Terror, Walls of Jericho, Malevolence and The Acacia Strain, and has played festivals such as Hellfest and Motocultor.
The DIVID mini‑tour will take the band to several European venues over the next month, with dates announced on the band’s social‑media channels. Fans can purchase the album and tour merchandise directly from the band’s website or through Innerstrength Records.
The release follows a pattern of consistent output for Beyond the Styx. Their discography includes a demo, an EP and three full‑length albums prior to Sentence. Reviewers have described DIVID as the most aggressive yet expressive work the band has produced, featuring abrasive fury and natural‑sounding breakdowns.
Beyond the Styx’s touring and promotion strategy underscores their commitment to authenticity. The band’s tour launch statement emphasizes the rallying cry “No More Borders! Cross The River!” as a call to the music community.
For those interested in listening to the album, DIVID is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and other streaming services. Physical copies can be ordered through Innerstrength Records or directly from the band’s online store.
The band’s official channels—linktr.ee, the website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Bandcamp—provide updates on tour dates, new releases and behind‑the‑scenes content.
In summary, Beyond the Styx’s DIVID mini‑tour marks the beginning of a new chapter for the French metallic hardcore group. With a fresh album that tackles contemporary social issues and a series of live shows across Europe, the band continues to push the boundaries of the hardcore genre while maintaining a strong connection to their fan base.
