Thread: Post Your Favorite LOCAL Band/Musician

Name: Alarum
Hometown: Melbourne, Australia
Genre: Tech/Jazz Thrash Metal

In the same style as Atheist and Cynic, but unique at the same time. They're not known outside of metal circles, but if you're a fan of extreme metal you've probably heard of them before.

They don't have the best live sound, and it's made even worse because of the nature of the recording, but all things considered it's still a good one.


This is a song from "Eventuality..." If you can get past the vocals and you enjoy technical metal you should get something out of it.


I actually don't like that second song. All of the songs from their 2002 Promo were re-recorded for this album and they lost some magic in my opinion. And actually, this track was re-recorded from a previous unreleased form for the Promo, and i didn't like it on much the Promo either (though the rest of the tracks on said Promo are unbelievably awesome) Anyway, it's the only one of the two non-live clips i could find that represents the band well, so there it is.

edit: forgot the little format at the start, sorry
