RECONTINUE weaves together 11 tracks that flow seamlessly between heavy and soft, dark and bright, rhythmic and offbeat, blending lyrical depth with instrumental richness that's signature Alarum. They've honed their technical prowess for over 25 years, showcasing their mastery of complex time signatures, virtuosic guitar and bass skills, and layered soundscapes. The music can be delightfully delicate, full of cheeky jazz fusion joy, or smashingly heavy a la brutal death metal.

Recorded in Melbourne at Danger Tone Studios and Alarum HQ, the album was mixed by Troy McCosker at Audio Ninja Productions and mastered by John Ruberto at Mastersound Studios.

RECONTINUE is available since November 8, 2024!
