ALARUM’s RECONTINUE: A Metal Masterclass & a Middle Finger to Mediocrity

Hold onto your eardrums, folks—Melbourne’s prog-metal titans ALARUM are back with RECONTINUE, their first album in years, and it’s a 11-track gut-punch of jazz-fusion flair and death-metal fury. Dropping November 8, 2024, this beast screams “regeneration” in a world hellbent on self-destruction. Think soaring melodies colliding with face-melting riffs, all while questioning humanity’s knack for torching the planet and itself.

Live Alert: Catch them crushing Melbourne twice—first with LEFT TO DIE (March 10): https://www.facebook.com/events/1183974829807983

and later with tech-death legends ATHEIST (June 8): https://www.facebook.com/events/593944946737912

Your neck will hate you.

Lead single Zero Nine Thirty? A schizo masterpiece—one minute zen gardens, the next a caffeine-fueled apocalypse. The video’s pure chaos, because why not? “Music’s for everyone,” ALARUM declares, “jazz snobs, metalheads, even your aunt with a Walkman.” Watch the madness:

RECONTINUE is prog-metal at its rawest: labyrinthine rhythms, mood swings sharper than a Shakespearean tragedy, and 25 years of unshakable grit. Tracks like Introspective and Awaken By Fire flip between delicate grace and unrelenting fury. Recorded at Danger Tone Studios and mastered for maximum punch, it’s a love letter to purists and rebels alike.

In a TikTok-obsessed world, ALARUM’s RECONTINUE is a defiant roar. Pre-order the vinyl/CD, hit the gigs, and ask yourself: When did music last make you feel this alive?
