Ad Nauseam – Imperative Imperceptible Impulse


 

If Sputnikmusic’s “Album Of The Month” series has taught us anything over the course of last year it’s that not all records are created equal. Fairly, a statement like that could easily be considered hyperbolic if not for the sheer vastness which Imperative Imperceptible Impulse commands, surging out of the realms of disso-death and into the hearts of those fed a full serving of Ulcerate, Gorguts, Deathspell Omega and early 90s Demilich. Yet, Ad Nauseam’s sophomore is a beast, a behemoth of ingenuity – taking the very sequencing that made those groups named above what they are and defining their own individual take. Imperative Imperceptible Impulse crashes through the simple boundaries of what traditional music is, crafting devastating compositions with unique experimentation, something mostly credited to the band’s ‘do it yourself’ approach. It’s this meticulous design that articulates the very essence of Ad Nauseam’s central make-up. 

 
By itself, Imperative Imperceptible Impulse is not an easy listen by any means. In fact, these tracks ‘demand’ attention, repeats and introspection. Whether it’s the tempo breaks, jarred rhythms, breakneck shifts in dissonance…there’s something to enjoy for all fans of extreme music. The unpacking of such a record comes with great reward, you just have to take a deep breath and fall in face first. – Robert Garland
