The Eternal Sleep out today via Hammerheart Records
Impurity are dragging Swedish death metal back to its raw, chainsaw snarled roots with their freshly released debut album The Eternal Sleep, which is out today via Hammerheart Records. The new offering is recorded by Tomas Skogsberg at Sunlight Studio and mastered by death metal expert Dan Swanö’.
Impurity comment on the release: “After a year since we visited Sunlight Studio to record this beast of an album, we are proud to finally showcase it in its entirety. With ‘Denial of Clarity’ in the forefront and ‘Hymn of an Afterlife’ as a resolution we promise 38 minutes of relentless death metal. Now onwards to future endeavours…“

Initially established in December of 2021 as Damnation by guitarist Ville Esbjörn and bassist Liam Curcic in Sickla, Stockholm. Seeking to complete their line up, lead-guitarist Axel Ask was inducted, finally uniting the members that would go on to forge Impurity. Shortly thereafter, with one of their many drummers, Impurity recorded their first demo Forever Lifeless in September 2022, at StudioPulverisa.
After the release of Forever Lifeless, Impurity went on to play multiple shows throughout Sweden, primarily in their hometown of Stockholm. During this time, Impurity entered the studio in March of 2024, to record their debut album The Eternal Sleep at Sunlight Studio. With Tomas Skogsberg’s production and Dan Swanö’s mastering work, they brought back a sound of Swedish Death Metal thought to be extinct. Incorporating the styles of bands such as Evocation, Eucharist, God Macabre and many more, their debut release will ensure an album that recalls memories of the forlorn underground scene in Sweden.
Signing with Hammerheart Records in September 2024 to release this debut, Impurity’s founding members, Esbjörn, Curcic, and Ask are set to push the boundaries further, aiming to challenge and redefine modern death metal with their relentless sound.
