REVIEW: Alarum - Fluid Motion Metal Warriors, 1999
6.5/10
Alarum - Fluid Motion - cover art I rarely listen to bands from Australia, not because I don't like them but because they are often very hard to find here in Europe. When you get to hear an album like this one from a band called Alarum that has been alive since 1992 you realize what you have been missing out on. "Fluid Motion" shows a band with amazing technical precision, a fair amount of creativity and the ambition to achieve something. Mixing together the power of crushing death metal with the ambience of jazz and chilling blues. As you probably realize by now this is a very complex and ever-changing album where you can find influences from such diverse bands as Atheist and King Crimson. This is also what makes Alarum so interesting. Even though you are not a big fan of death metal there is a chance you will still be able to enjoy this album because there are so much more to it. Structured chaos, ambient atmosphere and intensity are words that fit well when describing what Alarum sound like. I don't like the clean vocals very much but otherwise this is a good progrock meets death metal album.
