Alarum toured USA with Necrophagist, Arsis, Cattle Decapitation and Neuraxis in 2006 as well as played shows in the UK and in Ireland with Obituary. Drummer Matthew Racovalis left the band in 2007, replaced by Rob Brens. Scott Young left the band in 2007 and Ryan Williams began playing guitar at the band's live gigs in 2009.
