How can a musician breathe new life into an old and eroded Metal genre? This question can have sets and sets of answers, but the best one is always the same: make things as they come from your heart. This is what enables bands to make good works in genres that are common. Think, as an example, POSSESSED, MASSACRE, DEATH and MASTER (and others) created the form of Death Meta, but what MORBID ANGEL did on "Altars of Madness" took things to another level due the personality of the band's musicians. And even having to evolve a bit more, the offering done by the North American duet INEXORABLE done on "Imperious" is worthy of attention.

As the examples used above are linked to Death Metal, it's the obvious Metal genre where the band is laying. But even being brutal and rough in a classic form into the genre (and they show good rhythmic contrasts, even the main use of slow tempos), some influences can be heard that boost things up (as can be heard on "Static" some traces of Southern/Groove Metal on the guitar solo). Obviously this first coming shows a band that needs to sharp a bit more its music efforts, but they have a very good appeal for extreme Metal fans, with all the elements that they can expect from a Death Metal band. The sonority of "Imperious", as could be expected after reading the words above, is based on the model used by bands of the genre after the first half of the 90's, when things became better due the knowledge that brutality and aggressiveness could be expressed with definition. In other words: it's brutal and crude (due the instrumental tunes used on the recording), but in a way that can be understood by anyone. Though it could be better, it's not so bad.

"Not My Funeral" shows a tendency to use slow and bitter ambiences on the music, with some keyboards arrangements sustaining the bitterness of the guitar riffs; on "Static", a bit more faster, things become oppressive due the heavy work of bass guitar and drums (that shows very good rhythmic contrasts); some modern rhythmic elements can be heard on "As the Sun Sets", along good guitars and vocals (the use of grunts contrasting with screams is always a very good strategy); the unexpected can be expected on "The Cage", because there are changes between Death Metal fast tempos and nasty slow parts (and what good guitars once more). The technical approach used on "Extinction" shows some USA Death Metal features on the instrumental parts (especially on bass guitar), and "World War Now" brings some extreme fast parts (with very good blast beats on the drums). This set is the best for a first listen on "Imperious", but it's not an album hard to hear from the beginning to its end. But the band's musical efforts must be sharpened a bit more, because their potential is great enough to make things even better than shown on the album.

For now, "Imperious" is a good release that states INEXORABLE as a Death Metal promise for the near future. But these words don't mean that it's not a good release.
