The wait is over — the staggering new era for Aussie metalcore behemoths Alpha Wolf has arrived with the release of the band’s third studio album Half Living Things, officially out via Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records.
A cornucopia of heaving brutality brewed into sharply-honed moments of melodic brilliance, Half Living Things is a snapshot of everything fans know and love about Alpha Wolf on steroids. Whether unleashing gargantuan party-starters (“Bring Back The Noise”), neck-snapping breakdowns (“Double-Edge Demise”), raw, stomping hooks (“Whenever You’re Ready”) or an internet-breaking feature (“Sucks 2 Suck Feat. Ice-T”), Alpha Wolf harness and heighten their trademark intensity on album three, crafting the self-produced Half Living Things entirely on their own terms.
Also leveling up Alpha Wolf presence, the group have unveiled a brand new video for “Haunter“; a straight-up heavy masterpiece that balances its hooky chorus with full blown menace, both lyrically and instrumentally.
Watch the music video for Haunter here.

A potent fusion of the past, present and future, Perth metalcore outfit Make Them Suffer return today armed with a glossy yet blistering new single “Epitaph,” out now via Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records.
Continuing the band’s ferocious new sonic chapter, “Epitaph” swells with a sharp interplay between sharp primal energy and glowing ambience, also accompanied today by a brand new music video.
Of their latest single, the band shares, “‘Epitaph’ is the perfect grafting of new and old in terms of combining elements from our earlier sound with newer ones. Primal yet futuristic, Epitaph comes from a place of contemplation. The lyrics depict a post-doomsday setting and imagine how we as a species might be remembered by other forms of life.”
Watch the music video for “Epitaph” here.
Following a long break away from music due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Make Them Suffer returned with a blazing bang in 2022, releasing the behemoth single “Doomswitch,” playing a sold out tour in North America supporting Bad Omens, and performing a completely sold out headline Australian run in support of their new material.
Releasing their first single via the dream team of Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records in 2023, the ravenous might of “Ghost Of Me,” Make Them Suffer toured North America last year as part of Parkway Drive’s huge Monsters Of Oz Tour, alongside The Amity Affliction, and Northlane, as well as ticking off shows closer to home performing 2012’s Neverbloom in full for the first time ever in Australia to resounding acclaim.
Now, Make Them Suffer continue their domination in 2024, embarking this week with an almost entirely sold out Australian run supporting Bring Me The Horizon alongside Sleep Token and Daine, before returning overseas for a run of European and UK festivals this June, including Download Festival, Copenhell, Jera On Air, and many more.
“We’re about to settle in for the busiest year of touring in the history of Make Them Suffer and the energy in the band is at an all time high,” the band shares of their huge 2024 ahead. “I’m sure we’ll all be aching for more time at home by November, but for now, we can’t wait to get back on the road and play all these amazing tours and festivals we have lined up.”
‘”Epitaph’ is the beginning of a very exciting year for us, and not just in terms of touring. We’re so incredibly thankful for all our supporters, and to be in the position we’re in. Particularly after such an incredible journey. We can’t wait to show everyone what we have in store.”
