IMPURE WILHELMINA Share Third Advance Single “Train mort” from Forthcoming Album Le sanglot
Posted on May 6, 2026https://youtu.be/hvDa5EzOtTA IMPURE WILHELMINA, the Swiss post-metal and progressive dark rock quartet, have shared “Train mort,” the third advance single from their forthcoming album Le sanglot, due May 22nd on Season of Mist. The track is accompanied by an official visualizer and marks the album’s most confrontational moment, arriving ahead of the full ten-track release. Watch “Train mort” now: https://youtu.be/hvDa5EzOtTA “Train mort” opens on an oppressive, industrially-tinged guitar riff that builds slowly before giving way to a moment of desperate stillness, only for the weight to return, head-on, in the final passage. Where the two preceding singles established the melodic and atmospheric range of Le sanglot, this track cuts to something rawer. The lyrics are carried by Michael Schindl’s alternating screamed and whispered vocals, describing a man pushed past the point of return, and observe with cold precision the violence that festers at the far end of endurance. The track is the album’s most abrasive and makes no concessions. “Train mort” features French artist Mütterlein (Marion Leclercq), whose howls of despair are woven throughout the track. The collaboration, the first in Impure Wilhelmina’s history, arose from a natural affinity between Mütterlein’s tormented artistic universe and the atmosphere of the song. She co-wrote the track and, in the band’s own framing, darkened the darkness further. Pre-order & pre-save: https://orcd.co/iwlesanglot
