Band information
In existence in some form since at least 1992, Alarum plays progressive metal than combines technical death metal with jazz. The band's first demo in 1994 featured the line-up of Luke Morris, Mark Evans, Lester Perry and Matt Racovalis; a second demo from two years later introduced Mark Palfreyman on vocals and bass and Scott Young on guitar with only Racovalis left from the previous recording but Evans had returned to the band by 1999's Fluid Motion. Later in the year they opened at Metal for the Brain.
The next year Alarum was added to the line-up again as replacement for Sadistik Exekution. Racovalis and Palfreyman then featured as part of The Berzerker's live line-up that toured North America in 2001.
Alarum then began working on the follow-up to the debut, issuing a promo CD featuring three forthcoming tracks in mid-2002. It was to be another two years, however, before Eventuality... would appear. In April 2006, Alarum travelled to North America for an extensive tour with Neuraxis, Arsis and Cattle Decapitation. On their return to Australia, Racovalis announced he was leaving the band. Young also became a member of Darkest Dawn around the same time. Nevertheless, Alarum completed a tour with Dark Tranquillity and played at the 2006 Metal for the Brain. This was Racovalis' last show with Alarum and he was replaced by former Tribal Clown drummer Rob Brens. He then went on to join Dreadnaught.
Alarum supported Obituary in mid-2007 and Scott Young then also left. He was replaced for live performances by Ryan Williams. Alarum continued as a three piece and completed their next album, Natural Causes, released in 2011, after which Evans departed and Williams became a full-time member. A European tour with The Levitation Hex (also featuring Palfreyman and Young) occurred in October 2012, with John Sanders (ex-Flatstick) on second guitar. Following that tour, Williams decided to leave and Young rejoined.
