Thoroughly hailed in the national and international metal scene for its 2011 debut, Man Or Machine (Sonic Attack Records), and much celebrated shows at German cult festivals Keep It True, Headbangers Open Air and Rock Hard Festival as well as France’s finest Hellfest, Alpha Tiger quickly became one of Germany’s hottest heavy metal newcomers. Due to epic compositions, catchy hooks and Stephan Dietrich’s powerful vocals reminiscent of Geoff Tate and Michael Kiske in their heyday, the band succeeded in living up to the positive feedback.

All lyrical topics are represented in the cover artwork, which despite bearing reminiscences to the work of cult artist Ed Repka was created by Hungarian designer Peter Tikos, who also worked with the band on the Man Or Machine cover.

Beneath The Surface was recorded in summer 2012 at Berlin’s Musicflash studio, engineered by Mirco Godi Hildmann and mixed and mastered by Andreas Hilbert.

Alpha Tiger just finished a European tour as direct support for W.A.S.P., and will play a couple of special release shows in 2013. And of course they are already confirmed to play some of the biggest Metal Festivals like Wacken in Summer 2013.
