Alarum Sign With Willowtip

Progressive death/thrash/jazz infused metal band Alarum have joined the Willowtip roster. Back in the early 90's, which were undoubtedly the glory days of death metal, there were bands like Cynic, Atheist, and Pestilence that were far ahead of their time playing a style of jazzy progressive death metal that set the standard for the genre. Years have past and still these bands are considered to be the tops in the genre and few bands have ever come close to recording albums as great as the pioneers, UNTIL NOW. Forthcoming album "Eventuality" is quite simply as good as progressive jazz infused death metal can get, and will prove to be a classic release. This is an album that any fan of forward thinking and progressive music cannot pass up.

The debut album "Eventuality" will hit stores in North America on November 16, 2004.

Recently named one of the 50 most wanted bands on the planet by Australian Kerrang: "'Eventuality' is an intoxicating mix of constantly shifting riffs and clinical percussion.Guitar synths are used (but not abused) to create an other-worldly effect, which along with acoustic guitars and ambient interludes gives Eventuality that rarest of qualities: Complexity and balance."
