Alcázares by IMPUREZA

Forged in the fires of French-Spanish heritage, IMPUREZA has spent two decades pioneering Hispanic Metal - a fierce fusion of extreme metal and the passionate rhythms of flamenco. Wielding their Iberian identity like a blade, they have conquered stages worldwide, leaving an indestructible mark on the international metal scene. With ‘Alcázares’, IMPUREZA plunges into the heart of medieval Spain, resurrecting the legends of the Reconquista with unrelenting ferocity. From the war cries of “Bajo las Tizonas de Toledo” to the spectral doom of “El Ejército de los Fallecidos de Alarcos”, this album is a relentless expedition through history, mysticism, and blood-soaked battles. The scorching fusion of flamenco guitars, orchestral grandeur, and brutal death metal reaches its peak here, crafted with masterful precision by Sébastien Camhi and Jacob Hansen.
