Impure Wilhelmina Posts "Great Falls Beyond Death"
Impure Wilhelmina today premieres the first track taken from new album, "Radiation," which has been slated for release on July 7th. Regarding the new song, Impure Wilhelmina comments:
"We have chosen the opening track 'Great Falls Beyond Death' of our new full-length entitled 'Radiation' for the first premiere. The song starts with an easy melody line and a massive guitar that both evolve into a more dark and twisted tune.
"The vocals grow steadily more epic until the song coalesces into its melancholic finale – evoking fatalism, fanaticism, ignorance, and the fear of death. We see it as a perfect way to start the journey towards our new album – to take-off and then fall through an uncharted musical radiation."

Impure Wilhelmina Signs With Season Of Mist
Season of Mist is proud to announce the signing of Impure Wilhelmina, and the Swiss post-hardcore veterans have already begun working on their next album to be released by the label in 2016. Regarding the signing, Impure Wilhelmina comments:
"We are delighted to announce to have signed with Season of Mist. We are honored to write our name on the roster of a label that promotes so many inspiring bands. Season of Mist is at the crossroads of numerous metal streams that have strongly contributed to forge our specific sound. This new home seems to suit us perfectly! This collaboration encourages us immensely in working on our next album that we've already started writing..."
Season Of Mist also had this to say: "Founded in 1996, Geneva’s Impure Wilhelmina drew their moniker from the heroine of Bram Stoker’s classic tale. They drew influence from the aggressive creativity of their contemporaries in the metallic and emotional hardcore scenes exploding in both Europe and North America at the time, as well as the angsty personal songwriting exemplified by the early grunge movement.
"Following their self-titled debut, Impure Wilhelmina have constantly reshaped their style and turn each of their albums into standalone artistic expressions, all while keeping the band's unique approach to intense, melodic, and expressive post-hardcore."
