A Sonic Continuation With MARK PALFREYMAN From ALARUM

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.
Their new album Recontinue gives you all of those elements that you
know and love about ALARUM, with the addition of the weight of an
anvil. It is a brutally uncompromising album, with enough in the
way of finesse to appeal to metal lovers of all tastes.
HEAVY caught up with Mark Palfreyman to find out more.
We discussed the band's new album, with Mark explaining it is a
continuation of their previous work, with a focus on heavier and
cleaner parts, as well as incorporating new ideas and influences.
He also mentioned that the album was influenced by the band's
experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic.
HEAVY praised the album's eclectic mix of styles, from progressive
metal to jazz fusion, and asked about the creative process. Mark
explained that they write different styles of music simultaneously,
blending them together to create a cohesive album. He also noted
that the band's approach has evolved over time, from simply writing
songs to having a more planned and focused approach to their music
and more.
