IMPURE WILHELMINA are no strangers to reinvention. For the past 25 years, the Geneva quartet have rolled hardcore riffs, velveteen cleans, atmospheric sludge and gloomy melodies into post-metal that's as sharp and versatile as a Swiss Army Knife.


Now, Impure Wilhelmina are breathing new life into several time-worn classics. 'Dead Decades' flips the smoky, after-dark romance of "La Javanaise" into a lovestruck indie rock triumph, while also paying a faithfully mind-bending tribute to King Crimson.


'Dead Decades' comes out this Friday, October 6. Their new EP also includes a cover of The Cure, plus two unreleased songs from the recording sessions for Impure Wilhelmina's latest album 'Antidote'.


Listen to all of 'Dead Decades' a few days early over on our YouTube channel.




“We'd been wanting to record some covers for a long time," says Impure Wilhelmina. "The opportunity came in 2022 after the forced cancellation of a European tour at the end of the pandemic. We chose three songs that we all love, released during three different decades - 60s, 70s and 80s - and all three are very far removed from our usual sound. Two previously unreleased tracks from the 'Antidote' album sessions complete the EP. The record has a very strong nostalgic vibe, and we're particularly proud of the result. Enjoy our Dead Decades!”
