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.
