About Me

Alarum are currently working on their 3rd album, ‘Natural Causes’- set for release in 2008.
The writing for the album is nearing completion; and the band are currently finalising the last few songs and working on pre-production before hitting the studio….
Their technical/progressive jazz/fusion influenced style of thrash/death metal has continued to evolve over the years and has seen the band perform shows around the globe with artists such as Necrophagist, Testament, Obituary, Dark Tranquillity, Lamb Of God, Cattle Decapitation, Arsis, Neuraxis, Gojira, Gorerotted, Aghora, Anata, Psycroptic, Alchemist, Mortal Sin, Into The Moat, Odious Mortem, Tangaroa, Job For A Cowboy & many more.
Alarum have played Australian festivals Overcranked & Metal For The Brain on many occasions and Alarum were awarded Best Australian Band, Best Australian Album, Best Australian Bassist and Best Australian Drummer at the 2005 Kerrang Australian Heavy Metal Awards.   In 2006 Alarum toured the USA supporting Necrophagist on the ‘Carving North America’s Epitaph 2006’ tour; also performing at The New England Hardcore & Metal Festival, California Metalfest & Maryland Deathfest.   A highlight of this tour was when Kelly Shaefer of Atheist joined Alarum onstage in Florida to perform the classic Atheist track ‘Piece Of Time’.
