Dark and heavy anthems since 1996. Geneva, Season of Mist record

For 25 years, IMPURE WILHELMINA has been creating music on the borders of rock and metal. The Geneva quartet has never been afraid to push back the stylistic barriers, without ever losing its strong identity. Intensity, melody, power and melancholy are the key words that guide the band's discography, shaping record after record a subtle blend of metal, post-hardcore, new wave and indie rock sounds.

Founded in 1996, the group quickly built a reputation in the local, then Swiss and European independent scenes. From a very dark and metal base, more rock elements were gradually incorporated. The clear vocals occupy an increasingly important place in the compositions, reinforcing the intensity and melodic depth.

In 2015, IMPURE WILHELMINA signed with the label Season of Mist, which published ‘Radiation’ two years later. Skilfully navigating between melody and dissonance, this sixth album has opened the doors to greater recognition.

After intensely touring all over Europe, IMPURE WILHELMINA called on Yvan Bing, producer and sound engineer, to accompany the four musicians throughout the creation process of a new album. This collaboration began in the summer of 2019 and continued for over a year, giving rise to the band’s seventh full length, ‘Antidote’. In the context of the pandemic that marked part of the recording of the album and its long completion, this title also resonates in a very particular way. Welcome to this journey into uncharted musical lands.
