Asinhell 'Impii Hora' Album Review: Oldschool Death Metal Masterpiece?

In this album review I dive headfirst into the brutal world of death metal with my review of Asinhell's debut album release, "Impii Hora." Led by none other than Michael Poulsen, the singer and guitarist known for his rock 'n' roll crooning with Volbeat, Asinhell is a powerhouse trio. Poulsen's dark past includes fronting the Danish death metal band Dominus, which released four albums in the '90s before he embarked on his journey with Volbeat.
Joining Poulsen are the incredible talents of Marc Grewe, former Morgoth vocalist, and Morten Toft Hansen, the relentless drummer from Hatesphere and now Raunchy. Together, they're resurrecting the raw, unapologetic sound of old-school death metal.
"Impii Hora" is a masterclass in death metal, paying homage to legendary bands like Entombed, Death, Bolt Thrower and even Sepultura. With relentless riffs, bone-crushing brutality, and raspy vocals that send shivers down your spine, Asinhell has crafted a death metal masterpiece that will transport you back to the glory days of the '90s death metal scene.
Join me as I dissect every riff, growl, and blast beat on this incredible album. I highlight tracks like singles Fall of the Loyal Warrior, Island of Dead men as well as other songs of the album. Discover how Michael Poulsen and his bandmates have returned to their death metal roots with a vengeance, delivering an album that's a must-listen for fans of the genre and anyone curious about their musical journey.

Glad that Michael went back to his death metal roots. Back in the day, I saw his "Dominus" band, really cool also.

[@metalandrockzone]

Wow thats cool, you saw them in Copenhagen? Pumpehuset or something like that? Thanks for watching.

@@metalandrockzone Yeah, it was in 1997 or 1998, can't remember exactly. It was at a very small place called Stengade 30. It was loud and very intimate, great :) Remember I got so drunk at that show, since I had waaay to many strong beers :D

[@metalandrockzone]

good old Elephant beer!

[@cryptokimo7558]

@@metalandrockzone I believe it was so called "Gold Tuborg", like 10 or 12 of them :D. But Elefant... yes, I've had those too

Amazing album, heavily influenced by early death stuff and autopsy

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes it is great, one of the best this year for sure and for me a top 10 death metal all time.

@@metalandrockzone It s very good, i m listening to It more and more . The solos are very well done and played by flemming c. Lund, they shine cos they managed to set them with a thinner tone compared to the heavy and low rhythm parts (a bit carcassy I would say). Voice and drums are totally spot on and the songwriting is great, Reminds me a bit of entombed on the way songs are structured. A bit of obituary here and there as well but the overrall feeling is very Death oriented. I know that MP's fav death album is spiritual healing and that is mine as well, but this Reminds a bit more of leprosy with hints of Scream bloody gore. I d k if It s death metal top 10 álbum cos there are so many (slowly we rot, left hand path, clandestine, all death albums, and well i really dig carcass as well and obituary...) But It s very well done

@@ln8300 I just hope to see them live next summer!
