News : Alarum announce Geelong, Melbourne, Adelaide shows

Highly respected worldwide; one of our leading metal exports; and currently working on their new album ‘Natural Causes’ set for release in 2009, Alarum are back, and better than ever. Rob Brens, Mark Evans and Mark Palfreyman have spent much of the past two years away from the live scene, writing material for their 3rd album, and searching for a new second guitarist to use for their live shows. Having recently played at ProgPower Europe in October 2008 with Cynic and Zero Hour and supported Death Angel & Armored Saint in Melbourne in March, Australia’s masters of tech/death/jazz/fusion are finally doing a couple of huge headline shows here in Victoria! Catch them in Geelong on May 22 at the Barwon Club, and at the Espy in Melbourne on May 23!

With widespread critical acclaim of their live performances and their demo ‘The Aurora Veil’, and with large crowds following them wherever they go, this marks Ne Obliviscaris’ final shows of their Australian tour running from March 27-May 23, and taking in Melbourne (AA & 18+ shows), Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Hobart (AA & 18+ shows), Canberra, Sydney & Geelong. This will be one of, if not the last opportunity to see the band perform live before they head into the studio to record their highly anticipated debut album.

Fresh from the release of their amazing debut album and a supporting slot with Satyricon in Melbourne in March, Aeon of Horus (ACT), will also be joining them in Melbourne.
