Born in Geneva’s alternative underground in 1996, IMPURE WILHELMINA has forged a singular path between metal and progressive dark rock, marked by density, melody, and emotional restraint. After three decades of evolution and renewal, the quartet now enters a new chapter with ‘Le Sanglot’, their most radical, yet organic, transformation to date.
Entirely written and sung in French, ‘Le Sanglot’ sharpens the band’s vision into something more direct, more cutting, and more exposed. The album is conceived as a sob in sound, the musical equivalent of human tears. Its lyrics observe a fractured world with surgical coldness, portraying ugliness, mediocrity, and quiet violence, yet never abandoning the possibility of grace. From the cathartic surge of “Électricité noire” to the fragile radiance of “À jamais radieuse”, darkness and light circulate in constant tension. The record refines IMPURE WILHELMINA’s blend of progressive, dark, and melodic rock metal, driven by magnetic vocals and deeply textured arrangements. The arrival of guitarist Edouard Nicod broadens the sonic architecture, while the collaboration with Mütterlein on “Train mort” pushes the album into its most abrasive terrain.


Recorded and mixed by Yvan Bing and mastered by Magnus Lindberg, the album is adorned with a sound which balances power and refinement with remarkable clarity.
