Asinhell, the death metal band featuring Volbeat’s Michael Poulsen on guitar, has shared a music video for the title track of its debut album, “Impii Hora.” Watch it below. Get “Impii Hora,” released in September 2023 via Metal Blade Records, here.
“It means ‘Ungodly Hour’ in Latin and the song is about all these evil, vile, and terrible acts that get committed in this Ungodly Hour,” Poulsen said about the title. “It’s definitely an anti-religion song. Basically, we are not churchgoers, but on the other hand, I totally respect people who believe in something. But religion, to me, is the oppression that comes with being a part of the church. That’s the oppressive thing, not the belief in some high, holy spirit. To me, the anti-religion stuff is more about what people have done to believers—trying to manipulate people to follow them, which is an autocratic kind of thing.”
The footage for the video was shot in Berlin during the band’s recent European tour.
Asinhell also features vocalist Marc Grewe (Insidious Disease, ex-Morgoth) and drummer Morten Toft Hansen (Raunchy), with producer Jacob Hansen playing bass and Flemming C. Lund (The Arcane Order) on lead guitar.
