{"product_id":"the-alarm-transformation","title":"The Alarm - Transformation","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTransformation is the last record Mike Peters made, written and recorded through the final months of his life, and it refuses to sound like a goodbye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Alarm came out of Rhyl, North Wales, in the early 1980s with punk urgency and arena sized choruses, and Peters spent four decades as their constant, the voice behind Sixty Eight Guns. He also spent nearly thirty of those years living with cancer, first lymphoma, then leukaemia, and turned that into the Love Hope Strength Foundation, which ran donor drives at gigs and signed up tens of thousands to bone marrow registries. Richter's Syndrome took him in 2025, and he wrote and recorded this album while fighting it, finishing the work before he went.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNew Life opens the album exactly where its title points, all propulsion and no self pity, and Live Today became the last video Peters filmed, which gives an already direct song an almost unbearable weight. To Be Alive is the record's most reflective stretch, and In Unity does what The Alarm always did best, turning a personal fight into something a whole crowd can shout back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTwelve songs, made under circumstances that would have stopped most people, and every one of them is pointed forward. That was always the whole idea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51821173211441,"sku":"198704410420","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/The_Alarm-Transformation.jpg?v=1787057102","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/the-alarm-transformation","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
