IMPUREZA Release Devastating Lead Single “Pestilencia”

More information about Alcázares

Franco-Spanish conquistadors IMPUREZA crack open the gates of their Reconquista-themed opus Alcázares with the brand-new lead single “Pestilencia,” out today on all digital platforms. The track is the first glimpse of the band’s third full-length, a concept album charting Spain’s medieval struggle between Christian kingdoms and Al-Andalus through an esoteric, myth-laden lens.

Forging a style dubbed as Hispanic Extreme Metal—a brutal alloy of death-metal ferocity, flamenco guitar intricacy and Spanish-language vocals—
IMPUREZA brandish their Iberian heritage as both shield and sword. Expect tremolo riffs to lock step with bulería-tinged acoustic passages, fretless bass runs to snake beneath hammer-blow blast-beats, and orchestral flourishes to flare like torchlight on castle stone.

The song chronicles the Black Death’s march across Hispania: wind‑borne miasma, corpse‑choked plazas and the populace’s belief that divine wrath fuels the contagion. The lavishly crafted music video—captured on historic Spanish sites—premieres in tandem, turning the song’s apocalyptic lyrics into a torchlit, rat‑infested tableaux.

Praise for Impureza’s 2017 ‘La Caída de Tonatiuh’:

“Impureza are all in on flamenco. It’s not just a classical guitar break in every song with some maracas thrown in. Even when the band are doing death metal riffing, it’s in the style of Latin guitar.” – Heavy Blog Is Heavy

“Much more than a mere gimmick, the flamenco flourishes are every bit a part of the music’s DNA as the brutal breakdowns and guttural growls throughout their second album.” – Metal Hammer

“Sitting still will be impossible with these riffs playing; technical but catchy, bludgeoning but still easy enough to read, and incorporating oriental elements in the leads.” – Angry Metal Guy

“The musicians clearly all know what they’re doing on this release, from the impressive guitars, to the frolicking, wandering bass, to the sometimes jaw-dropping drums.” – Wonderbox Metal

“La Caída de Tonatiuh is an absolute blast to listen to, and I am happy to recommend it without reservation.” – Last Rites
