Asinhell, the death metal outfit spearheaded by Volbeat‘s Michael Poulsen, have just uploaded a music video for the title track to their debut album, “Impii Hora“. Poulsen said of it:
“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. 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.”
Poulsen handles the guitar duties in that trio, with vocalist Marc Grewe (Indisious Disease, etc.) and drummer Morten Toft Hansen (Raunchy) joining him.
