Asinhell | Impii Hora

When Michael Poulsen was putting together songs for Volbeat's 2021 album, Servant of the Mind, he wrote a bunch of death metal riffs and saved them on his hard drive. When he got done with the Volbeat record, he reopened the rusty gates to Armageddon and started putting together songs for his new death metal band Asinhell, whose debut album Impii Hora (Latin for Ungodly Hour), is a tribute to Poulsen's favorite old-school groups.

The songs are rooted in crushing riffs yet injected with strong guitar hooks and shout-along refrains.
