Impureza share Covadonga fretless bass playthrough
Impureza spotlight Florian Saillard’s fretless bass in a new Covadonga playthrough, revisiting the flamenco-metal writing of Alcázares.
Impureza have shared a bass playthrough of “Covadonga”, putting Florian Saillard’s fretless playing in the foreground. Season of Mist released the clip on October 9 through its official YouTube channel.
The track comes from Alcázares, the Franco-Spanish band’s third album, released on July 11, 2025. The new playthrough returns to that record with the attention firmly on the bass part.
Fretless bass beside flamenco guitar
That instrument is part of Impureza’s established approach. Their official artist biography places Saillard’s fretless bass alongside extreme metal, flamenco guitar and orchestral arrangements. Lionel Cano Muñoz handles rhythm, lead and Spanish guitars.
“Covadonga” is sung in Spanish. According to the label, its narrative draws on the battle in Asturias and the legends surrounding it, reflecting the historical and esoteric themes explored across Alcázares.
