LABEL: Metal BladeVINYL RELEASE DATE: 09/29/2023ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 2023VARIANT: Silver Vinyl LP Impii Hora is the debut album from Danish musician Michael Poulsen. He is the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and main songwriter of the rock band VOLBEAT. ASINHELL is the band. For more than 20 years, vocalist/guitarist Michael Poulsen has been spearheading Danish rock and roll machine Volbeat, releasing eight full-lengths, selling millions of albums, and filling stadiums worldwide. Before fronting Volbeat, however, Poulsen formed death metal band Dominus, which recorded four fast, brutal albums in the mid ‘90s. When 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. Then, when he was done with the Volbeat record, he reopened the rusty gates to Armageddon and started putting together songs for his new death/black 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.
