Guitarist Michael Poulsen (Volbeat), vocalist Marc Grewe (Insidious Disease, ex-Morgoth), and drummer Morten Toft Hansen (Raunchy) have launched a new death metal project called Asinhell. The band’s debut album, “Impii Hora,” will be released on September 29 via Metal Blade Records. You can check out the effort’s first single, “Fall Of The Loyal Warrior,” below:
Poulsen said the following about the song:
“We’re very excited to share the first taste of Asinhell with ‘Fall of the Loyal Warrior‘. The song is kind of a tribute to bands I love, like Bolt Thrower, Entombed, Autopsy, Grave, and Darkthrone. They’re the reason why we can do this in the first place, and we’re proud to wear our influences on our sleeve.
The album was inspired by late ’80s and early ’90s old school death metal, and one of our brightest points of inspiration was the mighty Death, fronted by the legendary Chuck Schuldiner. There’s a lot of Death in there. Schuldiner is one of my favorite death metal vocalists, the other being our vocalist Marc [Grewe]. So to me, this song is the combination of two of my favorites. ‘Let the metal flow,’ as Chuck would have said!”
He also added the following about working with Metal Blade Records on the release:
“It’s such a dream come true for me to get to be on fucking Metal Blade Records. When they said they wanted to put out the album, I felt like I was 17 years old again. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m making a deal with Metal Blade! How cool is that?’ It was like I was finally getting the record deal I dreamed of when I was a teenager.”
