‘Sucks 2 Suck’, which comes with a high school monster movie-themed music video, sees the band take on the role of obnoxious jocks who bully a schoolmate, before they’re hunted by a mysterious monster, who is revealed to be their victim.

In the clip, Ice-T raps: “Imma start this shit off by saying you motherfuckers are weak / Weak motherfucker that’s why all you can do is talk shit / ’cause that’s all you have / If you coming for me, you gotta come better than that.”

Frontman Lochie Keogh said of ‘Sucks 2 Suck’ in a press statement: “It’s about biting back at anyone saying you didn’t work hard for the shit you have. If you had the ethic and tenacity, you’d have it too, but you suck so you don’t.”

‘Half Living Things’ will comprise 12 tracks, including the previously released ‘Bring Back The Noise’. According to the album’s tracklist, ‘Sucks 2 Suck’ is the only song on the record that will feature a guest vocalist.

Lochie Keogh said of the upcoming album: “There can be no inner conflict without the constant tug of war between desire and disdain, the things you want versus the things you need, or the things that make you feel alive against the parts of it that do not. You cannot grow new parts without leaving the dead ones behind. You cannot be settled until you have truly known the opposite. Find out what makes you tick and just keep running around the clock until you’re happy enough to die.”

The tracklist for Alpha Wolf’s ‘Half Living Things’ is:

1. ‘Bring Back The Noise’
2. ‘Double-Edge Demise’
3. ‘Haunter’
4. ‘Sucks 2 Suck (ft. Ice-T)’
5. ‘Whenever You’re Ready’
6. ‘Pretty Boy’
7. ‘Mangekyō’
8. ‘A Terrible Day For Rain’
9. ‘Feign’
10. ‘Garden Of Eyes’
11. ‘Half Living Things’
12. ‘Ambivalence’
