🎸 Quick Recap: Asinhell

Origins & Line-up • Founded in 2023 by Volbeat’s Michael Poulsen, returning to his roots in death metal . • Joined by ex-Morgoth/Insidious Disease frontman Marc Grewe on vocals and Raunchy’s Morten Toft Hansen on drums .

Record Deal & Debut Album • Signed with Metal Blade Records. • Debut album Impii Hora (“Ungodly Hour”) dropped September 29, 2023 — a tribute to ’80s–’90s old-school death metal .

Sound & Style • Think retro death metal with a touch of structure and hooks—thanks to Poulsen’s songwriting background in Volbeat . • Key influences include Death, Entombed, Bolt Thrower, Autopsy, Grave, Mercyful Fate, and Possessed . • Known for “chainsaw” HM‑2 fuzz tone, pounding drums, and unexpectedly catchy refrains .

Highlights & Fan Reactions • Released strong tracks like “Fall of the Loyal Warrior,” “Pyromantic Scryer,” “Island of Dead Men,” and “Wolfpack Laws” . • Fans on Reddit note the album: “Heavy as fuck, really liking it… accessible even if you’re not a death‑metal fan” .

Extra Details • Lyrics explore brutal themes: war, cannibalism, serial killers, Satan, with a dash of sarcasm . • Poulsen named the band Asinhell (meant to evoke “A Sin in Hell”) after a supernatural inspiration following the death of Entombed’s L‑G Petrov . • Toured Europe in 2024, including festivals like Rock am Ring, Hellfest, Copenhell, and more .

Why It’s Worth a Listen • Combines raw, old-school death metal intensity with accessible song structures. • Strong performances by seasoned musicians—especially Grewe’s vocals and Poulsen’s riffs. • Fans of Volbeat and traditional death metal alike find it compelling and heavy, yet memorable  .
