AHEM!
Not nearly enough people on this site are talking about Alpha Wolf. So, if you don't mind, I'd like to give you a little background to help make my case as to why YOU should be listening to Alpha Wolf! (buckle in, gang. this is gonna be a little long)
For my fellow Sleep Token fans, you've likely seen these photos, right?
Vessel was photographed in an Alpha Wolf hoodie a while ago, and then Alpha Wolf dressed as Sleep Token for Halloween last year!
but you should really check out the full video on their youtube!
But who are those guys?
Alpha Wolf is an Australian metalcore band comprised of five members! They've toured with the likes of The Amity Affliction, Motionless in White, and Polaris. They have three full length studio albums Mono (2017) (quick side note that they DID have a different lead vocalist for this album), A Quiet Place to Die (2020), and newly released Half Living Things (2024). Now, let introduce you to the band real quick.
Lochie Keogh - Lead Vocals
he has some of my favorite aggressive scream vox, his voice can really pack a punch. also my babygirl, my beloved🖤 | instagram
John Arnold - Bass, Backing Vocals
get yourself a man who can do both, we love our resident cool bassist. (they're staring at you intimidatingly to convince you to listen to their music) | instagram
Scottie Simpson - Lead Guitar
my certified cool guy™ in my book and honestly incredibly photogenic look at that man | instagram
Sabian Lynch - Rhythm Guitar
his tour vlogs are so fun to watch!! he's always having a good time, wonderful fun and cool guy | instagram | youtube
Mitch Fogarty - Drums
a sweet happy lovely goofball. man fills my heart with so much joy you don't even know | instagram
They are always performing with passion & energy. They're one of those bands that you can tell enjoy their concerts, because they're always having a great time on stage. I dare you to scroll through their instagram for five minutes and then try to tell me that they don't look like a fun bunch o' fellas!
Here I present five songs for your consideration.
(thank you to my beloved alpha wolf mutual @simpleapparition for helping me to make this list)
Their most popular track, if you're going to check them out, Akudama is a great place to start. It's their most popular for a reason!
I consider 60cm Of Steel to be another essential Alpha Wolf track. This one is also a collaboration with Holding Absence (another one of my favorite bands, but that's beside the point).
Acid Romance is another song from the same album as Akudama (A Quiet Place to Die). If you're in the market for some angsty lyrics, this bad boy's for you.
For the final two recommendations, I shall present two of our own personal favorites off of their new album, Half Living Things!
Garden of Eyes comes recommended by @simpleapparition
Mangekyō comes recommended by yours truly, @politemagic
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

100 years ago... LtCmdr Rupert Gould best selling book
100 years ago, Royal Navy LtCmdr Rupert Gould (1890-1948) published his famous book " The Marine Chronometer " (preface December 1922 - 1923) but we didn't have to wait a century for a worthy reprint as in 2013 the ACC Antique Collectors' Club brought out their 365 pages version... and again in 2016. A truly amazing book with extra chapter full of great color photographs as both reprints almost sold out immediately.
October 5th, 2023 will be the 75th anniversary of the passing of LtCmdr Rupert Gould, a Royal Navy officer who safed, cleaned and repaired John Harrison's Marine clocks, naming H1 to H5.
More recommended reading:

“Let’s not start on the velociraptors,” Hammond said. “I’m sick of hearing about the velociraptors. How they’re the most vicious creatures anyone has ever seen.”
“They are,” Muldoon said, in a low voice. “They should all be destroyed.”
“You wanted to fit them with radio collars,” Hammond said. “And I agreed.”
“Yes. And they promptly chewed the collars off. But even if the raptors never get free,” Arnold said, “I think we have to accept that Jurassic Park is inherently hazardous.”

Is saving healthcare money a good idea? Before you jump to an answer, I’ll give you the answer: It depends on whose money is being saved.

Grant said, “What is the right-hand column?”
“Release version of the animals. The most recent are version 4.1 or 4.3. We’re considering going to version 4.4.”
“Version numbers? You mean like software? New releases?”
“Well, yes,” Arnold said. “It is like software, in a way. As we discover the glitches in the DNA, Dr. Wu’s labs have to make a new version.”
The idea of living creatures being numbered like software, being subject to updates and revisions, troubled Grant. He could not exactly say why—it was too new a thought—but he was instinctively uneasy about it. They were, after all, living creatures.…
