1. An Icelandic death metal band
2. An English electronic producer
1. Beneath is an Icelandic death metal band that was formed during the winter of 2007/2008. After a few minor changes, the current line-up was finalized in November 2008. The members of Beneath have all been active in the Icelandic metal scene for some years and some current and former bands include Sororicide, Changer, Atrum and Diabolus to name a few.
The band set out to play fast technical deathmetal, but the band incorporated elements from older styles of death metal, as well as other genres such as blackmetal.
BENEATH made their live debut supporting The Black Dahlia Murder in January 2009 and after winning the inaugural Icelandic finals for the Wacken Open Air Metal Battle they became the first Icelandic band to perform at the Wacken Open Air festival in August 2009. More festival appearances followed, amongst others Death Feast Open Air in 2010 and Neurotic Deathfest in 2011.
In February 2010 BENEATH released their debut EP entitled “Hollow Empty Void” on Mordbrann Musikk. The EP included four tracks of intense Icelandic death metal plus two live tracks. It was well received and prompted the band to go back into the studio for a full length.
In November 2009 Beneath entered the studio again and started recording their first full length album called “Enslaved By Fear”. The album was mixed by Daniel Bergstrand at Dug Out studios in Uppsala, Sweden. Artwork was handled by Raymond Swanland. The band recently signed to Unique Leader Records who will release their album, “Enslaved By Fear” in 2012.

Beneath Lyrics

Monolithical domination
Shrouded in inanity
Inevitable calamity
Verging singularity
Archetypal monolithical domination
Domination
Domination
Domination
In the first stanza of the lyrics, the singer talks about a transformation happening in the natural world. The imagery of "vegetation transmutation" suggests a profound change or evolution taking place within the plant life. This transformation is described as being under the influence of a "monolithical domination," indicating a powerful and overwhelming force at play. The word "monolithical" lends a sense of solidity and immensity to this dominance, as if it is an imposing and unyielding presence.
The second stanza delves deeper into this theme of domination and its consequences. The lyrics speak of being "shrouded in inanity," suggesting a sense of absurdity or meaninglessness surrounding the situation. Despite this, there is an acknowledgment of an "inevitable calamity" looming on the horizon. This juxtaposition of absurdity and impending disaster creates a sense of unease and tension in the lyrics, hinting at a bleak and foreboding future.
The mention of "verging singularity" further adds to the sense of intensity and inevitability in the lyrics. Singularity often refers to a point of infinite density and immense gravitational pull, hinting at a convergence or climax in the narrative. This notion is tied back to the idea of "archetypal monolithical domination," suggesting that this event is not just a singular occurrence but part of a larger pattern or archetype of control and power.
The repetition of the word "domination" in the final lines serves to emphasize and reinforce this overarching theme of control and dominance. The relentless repetition of the word mirrors the relentless and unyielding nature of the force at play in the narrative. It creates a sense of being encompassed and overwhelmed by this power, leaving the listener with a lingering sense of the immense weight and impact of the monolithic domination described in the song.
