They're just about to gear up for one last loud and fast tour to wrap up the year they were reborn again with new music and new members in Lochie Keogh (vocals) and Mitch Fogarty (drums), but Alpha Wolf are certainly back with a vengeance if their two new songs are anything to go by. Both 'Black Mamba' and new single 'No Name' pick up the furiousness of their debut release MONO, douse it on fire and set it alight.
Guitarist and founding member Sabian Lynch got involved to tell us what he was thrashing this year and surprisingly, the man loves his hip-hop/rap. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but take a look at his contribution for our Wall of Sound 2018 Year In Review...
