While waiting for their third full-length studio record, here at Avantgarde Music we are glad to announce the release of Live at Roadburn, the first official live album from Italian technical death metal pioneers Ad Nauseam. This recording captures the band’s stunning performance at Roadburn Festival 2023 in Tilburg, Netherlands, delivering an immersive document of one of the most visceral and cerebral showcases in contemporary extreme metal.
Recorded live on April 22, 2023, Live at Roadburn immerses listeners into Ad Nauseam’s intricately brutal universe: razor‑sharp riffs, labyrinthine song structures, relentless tempo shifts, and dissonant harmonic explorations framed within a transcendent live context. On such occasion, the band performed their 2021 sophomore studio album Imperative Imperceptible Impulse in its entirety, each track reflecting their mastery of technical precision and avant-garde intensity, revealing the uncompromising force that defines the Italians on-stage presence.
The album was mixed and mastered by the band themselves, maintaining their signature ethos of full creative control and analog fidelity. Listeners can expect a visceral sonic experience — raw, yet immaculately detailed — where every nuance of the performance is preserved and enhanced
Ad Nauseam’s Live at Roadburn will be released worldwide on September 19th, 2025 on CD and double LP in a die-cut sleeve via Avantgarde Music.

This album would not have been possible without the support of the entire Roadburn Festival team.
Mastered with a high dynamic range (DR11) to respect the quality and the dynamics of the original live sound. For this reason the overall volume is lower thant he average modern production.
Just turn up your volume knob.

Relentless, grinding, off-kilter, dissonant doom-death assault that is by turns fascinating and repulsive, and in the end deeply emotionally affecting. Dave Aftandilian

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sashavonkarl74

"Ce n'est pas le voyage qui compte mais la destination" est une locution proverbiale qu'on entend de la bouche de tous les nomades : ce n'est pas la pochette de Beyond The Palest Star qui le démentira puisqu'Adam Burke reprend la technique du point de fuite, dirigeant notre regard non pas vers une station spatiale mais vers un trou noir — situé sur la gauche. Vorga confirme ce chemin de pensée dans son deuxième album avec un death metal cosmique sinistre, infusé d'énergie doomesque. Colossal ! Nocturnal Egg (Jordan)
