Rising metalcore titans Alpha Wolf are back and they are angrier than ever in their track entitled “Akudama“, their brand new single off of their upcoming second studio album “a quiet place to die” that will be available on September 25th through Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records.
You may pre-order the album here:
Accompanying the new song is a music video that perfectly matches the energy of “Akudama” and is one hell of a visual experience featuring shots of the band performing that are injected with tons of enticing 3D animations and anime-like visuals courtesy of the music video’s creators Third Eye Visuals.
The music video for the hard-hitting new single was created with the support of the City of Melbourne COVID 19 Arts Grant; a program created by the local government of Melbourne to aid artists in putting out their work during this pandemic.

Along with the release of the new single, Alpha Wolf also issued a statement regarding recent events concerning the mass protests happening in the US:
To our fans,
We have a lot of very exciting things to show you over the coming weeks, Starting with our first new single ‘Akudama’ we have just released on YouTube.
This, and our upcoming album ‘a quiet place to die’ is the culmination of 10+ people’s efforts and over a year of hard work.
While this is obviously an exciting and very important time for us, this is not the most important thing you need to hear right now.
We need to open our eyes and ears to the cries of our POC brothers and sisters.
The peaceful protest and riots in the USA are a worldwide wake up call. Never has a protest of this size and importance happened at a time where more is able to be reported and witnessed. So witness it. Learn from it.
As an Australian band, we know our country has a terrible history of racism, segregation and slavery. This racism still exists today. We cannot forget our own faults, the aboriginal and indigenous community deserves better.
Enough is enough, the world can not go back to how it was.
Be the change you wish to see.
– Scottie, Sabian, John, Lochie, Mitch
