Impetus is a reissue of the EP Passive Restraints by the band Clutch in 1997.
The EP has two tracks added to it from the Naive album, a compilation of bands that Earache Records put out in 1992, which has since been unavailable due to a law suit from Evian, as the album cover looked exactly like the bottled water logo it uses. The contents of this EP are the same as the original, with a demo version of the title track added, and the song "Pile Driver" from the 12" vinyl edition of Pitchfork from 1991.
