In the sneering words of rapper Ice-T -“this is Alpha Wolf, motherfucker - you wanna die?” 2020’s A Quiet Place To Die demonstrated the Aussie metalcore crew’s ability to unleash absolute vitriolic carnage - and Half Living Things is here to reignite that flame of frazzled, antagonistic wrath.
From Double-Edge Demise’s maniacal stampede of drums to the goading snarl of nu-metalcore stand-out Sucks 2 Suck, Alpha Wolf serve up colossal waves of hardcore fury with a vengeance. Each swing packs a remarkable punch, frontman Lochie Keoghthe on a ruthless tirade of self-loathing. Garden of Eyes and Feign are absolute walls of noise, scratching with guttural pain - you’re left wishing you could hand the poor guy a throat lozenge, honestly.
