Band information

The Alchemont came to be around Lynton and Phil in 2005. The rest of the line-up came together over the following months and the group began to develop a technical but chaotic style of death metal. Before long however Phil and Ryan departed. By mid 2006 the band was whole again with the addition of Gardiner and Glorie and the name The Alchemont (apparently a term that means a point when the "pinnacle of the mind's evil" is reached) was chosen.

The band's first live date was in October 2006 opening for Psycroptic and since then has become a fixture of the local live scene. Their three-track demo "The Pinnacle of the Mind's Evil..." surfaced in 2007 and The Alchemont featured on the Perth leg of Festival of the Dead.
