I was tracking a friend’s band out of my home studio, he brought in this guitar to track with and I fell in love with it. It just played so well and sounded great for both rhythm and lead. 12 months later I was thinking about purchasing a new guitar that I could install an Evertune bridge in, and immediately thought back to that guitar. So I hit him up, and he sold it to me straight away!
The Evertune bridge is easily the best upgrade I’ve ever done to a guitar. It’s completely changed both the bands live shows, and my studio recordings. No more stressing about tuning, which for Alpha Wolf in drop G in any other circumstance, is always a bit of a nightmare. The 27” baritone neck assists with being able to have lighter gauge strings, while still holding perfect tension with the Evertune. Whereas for the studio, half your day is spent checking tuning, and making sure whatever you are playing is perfect. You save so much time with an Evertune and you get so much more out of your day. I want them in every single one of my guitars.
I’ve always been a 6 string guitarist since I started playing guitar. I switched to a 7 string in Alpha Wolf for a while, as I didn’t have a guitar that could hold Drop G comfortably. However now that I have this guitar, my 7 string has been demoted to my back up guitar and I’m back to what I grew up playing! I want a guitar I can bash around and not have to worry about, which is exactly what this is. I plug it in and I can start riffing straight away. It makes writing at home super comfortable and stress free.

Is out April 19th through Greyscale Records and SharpTone records. We are touring Europe in April with Emmure, as well as playing some Impericon Festivals whilst we’re out there. We then come back for an Australian Headline tour in May & June, and a hell of a lot more touring through the year to be announced. This will be the busiest Alpha Wolf year yet, and I couldn’t be more stoked.With Fortress WA’s walls having been brought down just a few months ago, the anticipation for a stacked metal gig was palpable, with a bucketload of attendees arriving for doors. Despite winter just beginning, the cold temperatures, strong winds and rain, let you know a storm was brewing – or maybe it was just the absolute storm of a show we were about to witness.
Perth’s own Darkmatter opened the show to a fairly packed room and did not waste the opportunity to impress. The boys got straight into it, with an onslaught of doublekick-driven mayhem juxtaposed with groovy electronic parts, with some hefty sub drops thrown in for good measure. Punters lapped up Darkmatter’s self-described blend of nu-metal and electronic with a solid pit opening up in the first track. The crowd continued to show the locals some love, moshing throughout the set, with some impressive throwing down during their crushing breakdowns. The four-piece definitely set the tone for the rest of the night, even earning a shoutout from Alpha Wolf’s Lochie Keogh that they are
. The boys showed a high level of polish for a band that’s only a year or two in, and I for one am excited to see their career unfold.

With this being Fit For A King’s first visit to Australia in almost a decade (last here for Buried in Verona’s Faceless Tour in 2014), you could sense that punters were ready to throw fists to the boy’s hitlist. As the music changed from classic tracks to an undeniably ambient opening track – the crowd’s energy noticeably shifted to anticipation and erupted in a cheer when the boys got on stage. Wasting no time, vocalist Ryan Kirby greeted the crowd with a quick

, something punters were all to happy to do. To finish the song off in style, Ryan Kirby asked the crowd if they knew what time it was. Which they did, splitting the room before unleashing a chaotic wall of death as the breakdown hit.
Fit For A King slowed it down just briefly for the intro of ‘When Everything Means Nothing’. The crowd sung along to the chorus, but really erupted when screaming
, with a few punters letting loose for some stage dives. Ryan wanted the crowd to let him hear them sing the last chorus and the room did so at the tops of their voices. A couple of tracks from the album Deathgrip were next, starting with Pissed Off, and the entire floor started moving, with one punter even climbing the notorious amplifier pole and moshing while hanging off it. Fit For A King slowed it down once more for the title track ‘Deathgrip’ and had the whole room with their hands in the air swaying side to side.

‘God of Fire’ was the set closer, and punters set it off, before Ryan Kirby demanded “absolute chaos, everywhere” for the final breakdown, the crowd responding with neck-breaking headbanging, spin kicks and crowd surfing. Drummer Trey Celaya continued to unleash fury on the kit, utterly punishing the crashes and snare to finish the show. As the crowd applauded a top tier performance, Kirby expressed gratitude on behalf of Fit For A King, saying
Anticipation was in the air as the crowd waited for Alpha Wolf to hit the stage, and again the atmosphere became electric as the ambient hype track began to blare over the speakers. The band minus vocalist Lochie Keogh emerged on stage and the crowd exploded in a roar, Lochie Keogh appeared moments later, and bellowed

As the band launched straight into ‘Ultra-Violet Violence, the crowd moving as one to the aggressive chugs and beat. Alpha Wolf barely had a breath between songs, ‘Creep’ the next song to assault punter’s ears. Lochie wasn’t here to mess around, his screams tearing through the venue, with record-like precision. Again, barely a second passed between songs as the band dropped into ‘Russian Roulette’ with the whole crowd yelling
Alpha Wolf finally took a breather, the crowd appreciative of a chance to catch their breath, after moshing throughout the three-song barrage. Lochie Keogh addressed the room, showing appreciation, because he was “99% sure this was a sell-out show”. Drummer Mitch Fogarty threw a stick into the crowd and Lochie Keogh joked that they wouldn’t continue
. ‘No Name’ was next on the setlist, the boys playing with perfection, the crowd opening up for some two-stepping, before Lochie Keogh demanded of the crowd “left, right, front and back, show me some shit”. What followed was complete anarchy in the pit as Lochie Keogh unleashed a furious scream “that’s the sound of me not giving a fuck”. The brutality continued throughout the next track ‘The Mind Bends To A Will Of Its Own’ before a short electronic beat-infused break.

Alpha Wolf then continued the onslaught, with ‘Acid Romance’. The room was bouncing as the boys showed the remained a well-oiled machine despite the havoc of COVID over the last few years.

A crowd favourite, ‘Sub-Zero’ was next, with the whole venue screaming along with vocalist Lochie Keogh to the infamous opening line
. The boys continued to slay, the huge chuggy riffs threatening to bring the roof down. Lochie Keogh could obviously sense this, commanding the crowd to “destroy this room” as the final breakdown hit.
The Alpha Wolf boys then unveiled a new song ‘Hotel Underground’ – a devastatingly heavy track filled to the brim with aggressive vocals, chuggy and shreddy riffs, monster drum fills and of course, a bone shattering breakdown. Despite not knowing the track, the room never stopped moving, a sure sign the new track was a banger.
