Australian progressive metal legends ALARUM have announced their new album RECONTINUE and the lead single IMPERATIVE on October 11.
RECONTINUE delves into the theme of regeneration: growth from what’s seemingly dead or damaged, resilience to adversity, and finding strength in hard times. Lyrically, it explores questions and concepts on humanity’s self-destructive behaviour towards ourselves, our social connections, and our planet. It’s a call to arms for all people to RECONTINUE: find better ways to connect, resolve and prosper – while accepting the inevitable ups and downs of the human experience.
RECONTINUE packages this in 11 new tracks – weaving in and out of heavy and soft, dark and light, in-time and off-time, lyric and instrumental metal music that Alarum is well known for.
Alarum have nothing to prove in sheer technical prowess on their instruments, or superlative proficiency in progressive metal songwriting. They’ve demonstrated for over 25 years that they are masters in complex time signatures, virtuoso guitar and bass chops, and layered sonic landscapes. Their music can be deliciously delicate and lovely, cheeky jazz fusion fun, or brutal death metal heavy.
RECONTINUE gives you all of those elements that you know and love about Alarum, with the addition of the weight of an anvil. Recorded in Melbourne both 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.
