Was listening to Karnivool’s new album on Spotify, and this song started playing afterwards. Blew me away! And I immediately listened to all three of their albums.

The thing about this video that impresses me the most is how they managed to organise so many school kids to wear nothing with any identifiable logo. Not a single brand anywhere... Well, except for that one girl in the black hoodie that says "The Brave Do". Perhaps that doesn't count.

Saw them in Dallas in March 2026. Amazing.
Lyrics:
The gallows are in demand
And there will be no omission
There is nowhere to hide from the storm that’s coming
Just come across you guys and goddammit your good, keep it up, hopefully catch you on a uk tour 🤘
We’ve been on your back for what feels like forever now
And like vultures circling, we long to feed
Es como si Meshuggah y Tool tuvieran un hijo
Was there ever a reason?
Are you so eager to burn?
This band is amazing!!!!
You’ve got to watch what you say
(You’ve) Nothing left to give but our hunger’s never sated
Been searching for a band with this vibe far and wide for some time now…..thank you Wheel.
After listening to the greats on repeat like Karnivool, Tesseract, Mastodon, Sleep Token, Meshuggah, I needed to let them rest a day or two. This band will now be filling those gap days.
Always a live wire
We’ll keep that in mind
Just accidentally found this on YouTube Music, and I love it!! Repeat this 10 times louder everytime I try to meet my deadline 😂
You’ll be left for the flames when we’ve taken what we needed
So, try to piss on your bonfire
Amazing the wounded angel reference there. It adds so much to the whole meaning of the song.
We will never relent
Mercy is not on the table
🔥🤘
In time, you will become a cautionary tale
If this is the gamification of our reality
🛞🤘
Then who am I to refuse a perfect hand?
It was always a gamble
This song is to my ears like a mix of Rational gaze of Meshuggah and Without you from Symphony X but still love it
Now all the walls are closing in and there is no escape
(You’ve) Nothing left to give but our hunger’s never sated
Amazing Progressive Alternative Metal song! Wheel in alot of ways is like a heavier Karnivool without the Alternative Rock part.
Always a live wire
We’ll keep that in mind
Never heard of this band before. Going to Leprous tonight in Somerville and Wheel is the warm up band. OMG...am I in for a treat.
You’ll be left for the flames when we’ve taken what we needed
So, try to piss on your bonfire
wow first time hearing this came throgh Kalya Scintilla recomended, im suprised this guys got balls and elegance very rare combination this days
There will be no quarter, we will take it all
You’ll reap all that you’ve seeded
this song is incredible in so many ways, but that BEAT!!
We’ll tie you to a stake

@ToddMcKean31LYRICS:
The gallows are in demand
And there will be no omission
There is nowhere to hide
From the storm that's coming
We've been on your back
For what feels like forever now
And like vultures circling
We long to feed
Was there ever a reason?
Are you so eager to burn?
You've got to watch what you say
Nothing left to give
But our hunger's never sated
Always a live wire
We'll keep that in mind
You'll be left for the flames
When we've taken what we needed
So, try to piss on your bonfire
We will never relent
Mercy is not on the table
In time, you will become a cautionary tale
If this is the gamification of our reality
Then who am I to refuse a perfect hand?
It was always a gamble
Now all the walls are closing in
And there is no escape
Nothing left to give
But our hunger's never sated
Always a live wire
We'll keep that in mind
You'll be left for the flames
When we've taken what we needed
So, try to piss on your bonfire
There will be no quarter, we will take it all
You'll reap all that you've seeded
We'll tie you to a stake
I absolutely can't stop listening to this
@sulkycatsEqual parts 'Passenger' and 'The Pot.' Found these guys the other day on spotify and this is definitely a banger.
@joshc1750Una amalgama perfecta de melodía, técnica, inteligencia, sentimiento e ira. Wheel está en mi top 5 de bandas favoritas! No dejen nunca de hacer buena música!
@juanperdomoavila7666Mastodon brought me here. This song is fuck yeah!
@roger3198What a beautiful band. Listening every day ♥
@swtm3Please Wheel, never stop making music
@erdnaelarresaccor3450Masterpiece
@thyoblivion7190bass tone rocks
@LaCroixIIJohnYou guys gotta stop being so real... Youtube doesn't like it. I, on the other hand, love this song!
@frankschlegel9126Holy shit, just discovered - these guys are awesome!
@BeatBoutiqueJamTrackscame for some new TOOLish tracks !!
@BoolFalseRadio Bob from germany gave me this masterpiece while i was working at the gas station. almost gave out the wrong change because the song caught my mind
@alfredneumann4332Thank you Spotify
@borkovujnovic9797the new tool! I like it!
@masterXmindsetFeel like i hear some porcupine tree influence in there.
@michaelgarlick5686Bad ass song... just found these guys. Like what I hear so far. Got a mudvayne sound in this one.
@qa4268I was 1 and 5 the first two times they violently attacked and sodomized me
@DonaldHarrington-tr4qwThey forced me to be a child prostitute I got exploited by my adopted family and assaulted by adults
@DonaldHarrington-tr4qwI got preyed on by adults for over 20 years wemon and men both abused me from a very young age
@DonaldHarrington-tr4qwI got sex trafficked whe I was a kid by the adopted people who abused me and rented me out to rapists and adults
@DonaldHarrington-tr4qwThese lyrics feel awfully "JQ."
And considering where the band is from. Yeeesh...
And the imagery going on in the video just poses more questions.
Good music but this rhetoric is dubious at best.
only recently discovered WHEEL - what a band !!!
@andyross5202Does anybody have any bass tabs/notes for this track? I suck at figuring them out myself, but am so keen to learn this song. Maybe the prog. metal gods will hear my cry for help.
@liamb9606Great stuff. Killer sounds And video. New fan. Keep it up.
@sjsphotogReminds me the "Berufsschule" years. Was a outsider back then. People thought i'm crazy and dangerous. I was so frustrated about my parents divorce and the capitalism is good for everyone mentality. Sad this video is too late for me.
@Andreas-bn1nmSo happy i found this band. Everything is great. Keep making albums. I'll keep listening
