The album carries on the melodic death metal style first featured on the album Static Impulse, and once again features screaming vocals by drummer Peter Wildoer.

Impermanent Resonance was released to generally positive reviews and reception from critics and fans.

The European digipak edition features an alternative artwork.

Daniel Køtz of the German webzine CDstarts.de wrote that James LaBrie and his band have found their very own sound at last which is emancipated from Dream Theater.

He writes that the album is not a simple alternative to Dream Theater but an original work.
