“BENEATH THE SURFACE” UNVEILS ISSUE IV: ANOXIA - AGGRESSION IN SIN

Issue 4 takes a stronger editorial direction with a thematic focus centred around death metal, featuring in-depth editorial pieces, interviews, reviews, and stories from across the global metal scene.

“Forged alongside legends. Driven by aggression.”

We are honoured to feature emerging Australian old school death metal force Anoxia on the cover of Issue 4. Representing consistency, professionalism, and dedication to their craft, the band continues to build momentum through relentless touring and commitment to the old school death metal sound.

Our Asian neighbours in Defiled also join us for an in-depth interview ahead of their upcoming release Altered State via Season of Mist.

Also featured in this issue:
Vomitory (Metal Blade Records)
ÆONIK (Fetzner Death Records)
Carcerous
Van Diemen

This issue includes:
Album reviews and Album of the Month
Gig recaps and guides
Tours guides
The Vault

Issue 4 also continues Swampy’s Diary, where our European correspondent documents the metal scene across Europe. In this edition, Swampy reviews 1914’s performance in Frankfurt, Germany, continuing to capture the passion and atmosphere of the European festival and touring circuit.

Different parts of the world, same passion and devotion to metal.

That’s what Beneath The Surface continues to represent — supporting the artists, promoters, photographers, labels, and community who keep the underground alive.
