Transcending the Mundane is a fair and open-minded fanzine from Long Island, New York, which covers a wide variety of metal styles, from traditional heavy metal to experimental, black, death metal, and beyond. All interviews are in alphabetical order, and all bands get the same level of treatment.

Issue #16 contains interviews with Cadaver Inc., Hades, Lacuna Coil, Maudlin of the Well, Monstrosity, Myrkskog, Red Harvest, Derek Sherinian, and many more.

The fanzine was revived in 2023 and new issues can be found at transcending-the-mundane.com.
