"BENEATH THE SURFACE" UNVEILS ISSUE V DEVILDRIVER - BACK TO START: REIGNITING THE FIRE TO STRIKE AND KILL Reaching a fifth consecutive issue marks an important milestone for the publication. Built through the dedication of our writers, photographers, contributors, and creative crew, Issue 5 represents the continued growth of Beneath The Surface and our commitment to giving the metal community a stronger voice as one. "Back To Start: Hope Is Never Wasted" We are honoured to feature internationally acclaimed metal act DevilDriver as the cover story for Issue 5. For more than two decades, DevilDriver have carved out their own lane in heavy music, fusing crushing Cali groove, melodic aggression, and a fearless refusal to follow the rules while remaining true to the spirit of the band. Now, more than ever, with their explosive eleventh studio album Strike and Kill set for release on July 10 via Napalm Records, and a massive Australian co-headline tour alongside Cradle of Filth on the horizon, DevilDriver continue to push forward with the same passion and intensity that has defined their career. Camille Colelough had the honour of spending time with the man at the heart of it all, Dez Fafara, one of metal's most inspirational, uncompromising, and respected frontmen. Together they discuss life, reigniting creative fire, and what it truly means to go back to the start. Also featured in this issue: Green Carnation (Season of Mist) Tarja (earMUSIC) Devil Electric Rexoria (Black Lodge Records) Nox Terror Hence Confetti This issue also includes: Album Reviews and Album of the Month Gig Recaps and Guides Tour Recaps and Guides The Vault Issue 5 also shines a spotlight on the strength of the Australian metal community through our dedicated Sydney Dethfest Special Coverage. Captured by our in-house photography team and supported by our editorial crew, this feature celebrates the bands, fans, photographers, and promoters who continue to keep the underground thriving. Without the passion and dedication of our contributors, there would be no Beneath The Surface. Issue 5 stands as a celebration of the people behind the publication and the community that continues to support it. Issue 5 is available now in digital format at headbangersaustralia.com.
