Taken from Alarum's 2024 Album RECONTINUE.
Progressive thrash metal from Australia
The few singles that were already released were killer, just listened to the whole album and absolutely love it. The band's had some tough times but have a bright future ahead. Definitely recommend a listen!
They seem to have decent prices…
Who’s going? If yes what bands are you keen to see the most?
If not, why not?

Hey I recently release my first metal EP as a solo project "Capital Is The Constraint". I'd like to find other musician's interested in creating this kind of music and ideally playing live. Drummer and a bassist/guitarist would be great. I'm based in Sydney. You can hear the release below:

RIYL: Strapping Young Lad/Devin Townsend, Protest the Hero, Edguy, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Pantera,
Any recommendations for good recording studios in Sydney? I need to record a few drum tracks, so preferably a studio that has a decent set of drums, hardware and cymbals
TIA.
Having not released anything since 2016, I thought I'd give it a share here!
Just released a new single with another on it's way soon!

Hey everyone, I’ve been dying to get a bullet belt for the past few years. I’ve never been able to find a company that makes them in Australia. All the ones online cost an arm and a leg for shipping as they’re all from America. Maybe I’m just not looking In the right places? If anyone knows where I can get a bullet belt shipped from aus please let me know. Thanks! 🤘🤘
