In less than 2 months, Australian behemoths ALPHA WOLF will kick off their huge Half Living Things Australian Headline Tour with special international guests, Ohio metalcore stalwarts THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, Texan metalcore trailblazers INVENT ANIMATE and Swedish modern heavy wielders THROWN.
With the tour selling out in less than a week and adding additional shows and venue upgrades due to overwhelming demand, Brisbane has now hung up its sold out sign at Fortitude Music Hall marking this show as the band’s biggest ever headline show in their career. Limited tickets remain for Adelaide and the 2nd Sydney show are selling fast.
Never ones to do anything by halves, ALPHA WOLF have relentlessly sharpened their trademark intensity against the odds over the years, from releasing their critically-acclaimed sophomore album A Quiet Place To Die amid the pandemic in 2020, to releasing a split EP, The Lost & The Longing, with Welsh rockers Holding Absence in 2022, and released their third full-length album Half Living Things in April 2024 which had fans and critics praising it across the globe.
Hinting at things to come via the track Bring Back The Noise, a neck-snapping party-starter, as well as the internet-breaking collab single Sucks 2 Suck with legendary rapper Ice-T, last week saw ALPHA WOLF release the emphatic single, Whenever You’re Ready. A track soaked in heart-wrenching melodics and pounding instrumentation.
Launching their own curated festival CVLTFEST in 2022, ALPHA WOLF continue to powerfully fly the flag for their own incredible wares as well as the local heavy music scene and exciting international acts, CVLTFEST returned earlier this year for its second edition to critical acclaim, headlined by ALPHA WOLF themselves alongside friends Emmure (USA), Crossfaith (Japan), Ocean Grove, Paledusk (Japan), Ten56. (France), Diamond Construct, Crave Death and Vilify.
Ticking off their biggest North American run to date with Motionless in White in and tearing up multiple stages as part of the inaugural Knotfest Australia last year, ALPHA WOLF kicked off 2024 touring regionally supporting The Amity Affliction, just completed a massive North American headline run, supported by Emmure, UnityTX and Chamber, performing at Download Festival this week and will be returning back to North America in September and October supporting Dayseeker.
Progressive metalcore quartet INVENT ANIMATE certainly know how to turn heads and melt hearts with their deeply empathetic heavy creations. Deeply connective and laced with fluctuating moments of ambience, intensity and technical immersion, INVENT ANIMATE unveiled their fourth studio album, Heavener, in 2023, self-produced by the band alongside The Plot In You’s Landon Tewers and praised for its progressive elements and nuanced complexity.
Releasing their debut single greyout in 2021, Sweden’s THROWN have quickly become one of the hottest acts in the modern heavy scene, blending intense guitars with aggressive vocals and infectious arrangements. With a misanthropic sonic spine and a fresh take on the metalcore and surrounding realms, THROWN recently toured alongside Fit For A King and Invent Animate, with 2024 marking the first time ever that the band will tour Australia.
