Alpha Wolf just premiered their new song '60cm of Steel' featuring the Welsh rock band Holding Absence. We've been blessed with a number of new releases from bands this year, and yet again, we have another headbanging piece to enjoy.
'60cm of Steel' is taken from their split LP with Holding Absence, 'The Lost & The Longing', which is availiable for purchase/stream: here

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Enter the blood-soaked proscenium arch
Witness the sickness
Tear me apart
Tear me apart
(Take your seats
Bare your teeth)
[Verse 1]
Rip the skeletons from my closet and create an effigy
Twist together the oddments and soak them in kerosene
A room full of daggers cuts through me
But I don't mind the look of blood on the menuki
60 centimeters of steel in the stomach
I hate myself and you fucking love it
Grip that tsuka, don't stop spilling my guts
Seppuku, hollow point word vomit go "du du"
Sеppuku, hollow point word vomit go "du du du"
[Chorus]
I've lost, I've lost
A consciousness I can't rеcover
I'm low, so low
Is this what you want?
I've lost, I've lost
A consciousness I can't recover
I'm low, so low
Is this what you want?
[Verse 2]
My twisted fate kicked the doors in
And I'm stretched across my coffin
Spilling ink into the wound, dehiscence
The blood thins, the plot thickens
Drop the curtain
Sever the thoughts from the act
Drop the curtain
Sever the thoughts from the act
[Chorus: Lucas Woodland, Lochie Keogh & John Arnold]
I've lost, I've lost
A consciousness I can't recover
I'm low, so low
Is this what you want?
I've lost, I've lost
A consciousness I can't recover
I'm low, so low
Is this what?
Is this what?
Is this what you want?
[Breakdown]
The crowd sits silent and still
Beckoning a violent will
Each cut shallow as a breath
Life imitates art, art imitates death
Life imitates art
