Alpha Wolf are an Australian metalcore band and this is their second album.

This is the fourth album from Aversions Crown, a death metal/deathcore band from Australia.
2016’s Xenocide was an exemplar of modern brutality, with its alien melodies and extraterrestrial themes. Hell Will Come for Us All is a different beast; although still recognisably the same band in some respects, the Aversions Crown of 2020 is more grounded in the present, with a corresponding increase in brutally destructive heaviness, and a sound more reminiscent of some of their peers.
