IMPERATIVE REACTION
Over the past few years, Imperative Reaction has honed its explosive live performances through extensive touring supporting VNV Nation, Combichrist, Covenant and Tiger Army as well as appearing at the legendary Wave Gothic Treffen Festival in Germany, The Reverance Festival in Madison, and headlining the second night of The Black Sun Festival in the New Haven.
In 2006, the previous standard IR set with 04's Redemption was shattered with the release of their fourth album As We Fall, which was a triumphant, cohesive effort from start to finish. Emotionally driven vocals, punchier bass lines, and driving synths masterfully blended to display the growth of this phenomenal young act. Drawing from influences ranging everywhere from AFI and Nine Inch Nails to modern EBM and noise, this album stands as a cathartic dance floor classic.
2008 promises to be an even bigger year for IR as they write and record their 5th studio album and get ready to set out on the road in September with a new live setup and band.
