Biography

Australia's Alarum play ultratechnical, almost jazz fusion-like thrash/death metal inspired by the likes of Cynic and Atheist. Formed in 1992 by guitarist Mark Evans and drummer Matthew Racovalis, Alarum recorded a number of demos before solidifying their lineup with vocalist/bassist Mark Palfreyman and second guitarist Scott Young in late 1995. Another two years of writing and rehearsal followed before the band's debut album, Fluid Motion, was finally released to mixed reviews. The band continues to write and perform in Australia, but a long promised second effort has yet to materialize. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Alarum are a 4-piece progressive technical metal jazz-fusion band from Melbourne, Australia. They are stylistically quite similar to early-90's pioneers Atheist and Cynic. They are also known to play Death covers in live shows -- another band which influences them greatly. Alarum are currently working on their third album, Natural Causes set for release in 2009. At recent live shows, they have played four new songs - the title track Natural Causes, Latin, and two other songs which have the amusing working titles of Liquorland and Thirsty Camel (named after bottle shops). Guitarist Scott Young and drummer Matthew Racovalis left the band in 2007 with the latter replaced by Rob Brens, with the band still looking for a replacement for Young.
