‘Mercenary Notes Pt 1,’ the EP that laid the foundation for this remix project, was a collaborative effort between Derision Cult members Dave McAnally and Sean Payne (Cyanotic).

Featuring renowned musicians Michael Poulsen from Volbeat, Marc Grewe from Insidious Disease and ex-Morgoth, and Morten Toft Hansen from Raunchy, Asinhell is here to make their mark. Their debut album, titled “Impii Hora” (meaning Ungodly Hour in Latin), pays homage to Poulsen’s favorite old-school groups. With a foundation of crushing riffs, the songs also incorporate captivating guitar hooks and anthemic refrains.
Prepare for the release of “Impii Hora” on September 29th through Metal Blade Records. Pre-Order the Album HERE!!!.
Poulsen expresses his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re very excited to share the first taste of Asinhell with ‘Fall Of The Loyal Warrior.’ The song is a tribute to bands I love, like Bolt Thrower, Entombed, Autopsy, Grave, and Darkthrone. They are the reason why we can do this in the first place, and we proudly embrace their influence. The album draws inspiration from late ’80s and early ’90s old-school death metal, with one of our brightest points of inspiration being the mighty Death, led by the legendary Chuck Schuldiner. There’s a lot of Death in there. Schuldiner is one of my favorite death metal vocalists, along with 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!”
While Poulsen is known for his roles in Volbeat and Dominus, he sought a different frontman for Asinhell. In March 2022, he reached out to his old friend, Marc Grewe, former vocalist of Morgoth and current member of Insidious Disease, inviting him to join the band. Grewe gladly accepted, stating, “I had known Michael for quite a long time, and he always mentioned that we should do a death metal project someday. I didn’t take it too seriously at first because he was so busy with Volbeat. But then he called for real and said, ‘Yeah, I want to do it now. Are you up for it?’ Immediately, I said, ‘Yes, of course!'”
After considering several accomplished drummers, Poulsen approached Morten Toft Hansen from the Danish group Raunchy. Not only does Morten possess incredible drumming skills, but he and Poulsen’s six-year-old daughters are also close friends, and Morten’s place is just a short 10-minute drive away. The experienced musicians began practicing together and managed to complete a full song almost every time they got together. When it was time to write the vocals, Grewe was in Germany, so Poulsen sent him recordings from their rehearsals to kick-start the process. Drawing from their years of experience and renewed passion for destruction, Poulsen and Toft Hansen captured a fiery storm in a bottle.
Within just a year, Asinhell’s concept transformed into the creation of their power-packed full-length album, “Impii Hora.” Poulsen sought Volbeat’s management to help find a suitable label for Asinhell, and he was thrilled when they mentioned that Metal Blade Records’ founder, Brian Slagel, would be interested in the band. Once Slagel heard “Impii Hora,” he made Asinhell a top priority.
“It’s such a dream come true for me 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 couldn’t believe it – making a deal with Metal Blade! How cool is that? It’s like finally realizing the record deal I had dreamed of as a teenager.” – Michael Poulsen

Danish thrash metal icons ARTILLERY are celebrating their 40th anniversary with a North American headlining tour! The journey, which begins on September 29th in Minneapolis, Minnesota and closes on October 14th in Brooklyn, New York, includes a performance at the Blades Of Steel Festival in Madison, Wisconsin. Support will be provided by Vapor and Potential Threat.
Tickets are on sale now. See all confirmed dates below.
In the mid-1980s, Denmark’s ARTILLERY established themselves as being at the cutting edge of the thrash movement. Four decades later, they continue to destroy. The band’s most recent studio offering – the aptly titled, X — was released in 2021 via Metal Blade Records. X was tracked in Medley Studio in Copenhagen, Denmark with producer Søren Andersen, who the band have worked with on every record since 2009’s When Death Comes. Wrote Blabbermouth upon its release, “Nearly 40 years after their story began, this band is still a unique and exhilarating proposition.” Distorted Sound noted, “This is crisp and accessible, there are no unintelligible vocals and they know how to write a beefed-up metal song. This should please the pit and the guys at the back who prefer to sing along in equal measure. If you like the faster side of metal you owe it to yourself to check this out.” Added Ghost Cult, “Bursting with razor-sharp riffs, frantic shredding, and more hooks than a fisherman’s tackle box, X is another outstanding example of classic Danish thrash.”
Personal relationships, particularly our romantic partnerships, possess an incredible capacity to shape our mental well-being. Recent research published in Current Directions in Psychological Science by Susan C. South illuminates the profound connection between dysfunctional relationships and mental illness.
Let’s delve into the captivating insights of this study and discover how prioritizing healthy relationships can positively impact our mental health.
The impact of relationships on mental health cannot be underestimated. Thriving in well-functioning relationships contributes to our overall well-being, while enduring conflict and dissatisfaction can inflict significant harm. It is disheartening to learn that individuals trapped in unhappy partnerships are more vulnerable to experiencing mental health issues such as PTSD, depression, alcohol use disorders, and generalized anxiety.
Challenging prevailing assumptions, the research suggests that dysfunctional relationships can be precursors to mental health problems, rather than the other way around. Longitudinal studies have revealed that distressed relationships increase the likelihood of developing mental health issues. This underscores the importance of proactively addressing and transforming relationship dynamics to safeguard our mental well-being.
Researchers exploring the intricate link between marital distress and relationship satisfaction have ventured beyond surface-level analysis. By studying long-term heterosexual married couples, they have unearthed invaluable insights into the complex interplay between these factors and mental health outcomes. Understanding the nuances of this connection offers hope for building healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
Twin studies have shed light on the multifaceted role of genetics and environment in the relationship-mental health connection. Genetic factors contributing to relationship distress can also manifest as symptoms of psychopathology. Moreover, environmental influences, including emotional and cognitive risks, as well as the presence of support systems and effective emotion regulation strategies within distressed relationships, play pivotal roles.
While marriage and relationship conflict are widespread experiences, it is essential to recognize that not everyone succumbs to the detrimental effects of dysfunctional relationships. Individuals vulnerable to psychopathology may find their symptoms triggered by distressed romantic relationships. However, it is crucial to note that some possess protective factors that shield them from such repercussions.
This research invites us to shift our focus from broad personality traits to the intricate web of goals, values, and needs that each individual brings to their relationships. Understanding how these aspects are met, or unfortunately unmet, by our partners provides a powerful lens for comprehending the complex dynamics that underpin mental well-being.
The study underscores the transformative potential of healthy relationships on our mental health. Dysfunctional relationships can serve as warning signs and precursors to mental illness.
We can feel the urge to reflect on the quality of our relationships and seek professional help if we find ourselves resonating with the challenges discussed. By prioritizing supportive and nourishing relationships, we embark on a path towards enhanced mental well-being. Let’s all proactively nurture our relationships, tune into our needs, and courageously seek the support necessary to cultivate profound emotional flourishing.
Many forms of help are readily available, offering guidance and healing along this transformative journey. Reach out, however possible.
Remember, You ARE NOT ALONE. You matter, You are worthy, of love, and you are enough.

ABOUT INGESTED: Ingested are the flagbearers of modern UK death metal. They have been churning out bilious anti-anthems for more than a decade-and-a-half, dropping a string of releases that have helped shape the genre. They return with Ashes Lie Still, their most dynamic, inventive, and daring release to date, holding nothing back. The band describes it as “a modern essential. It still has the core Ingested elements of groovy slamming riffs, quick drumming, and guttural vocals but there’s also atmosphere, ethereal moments, and some raw old school aggression.” Over the course of 10 tracks, Ingested hack, slash, and steamroll through everything in their path, and Ashes Lie Still easily stands as the highpoint of an already impressive career. Founded in 2006 in Manchester, England, Ingested have since toured extensively with Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile, Carnifex, and Revocation, and have been seen on European festival stages including Summer Breeze Open Air. Slimmed down to a three-piece, the band feels it is in the best place it ever has been, enabling the members to work at the top of their game.
Ashes Lie Still was mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson. It was co-produced by the band and previous collaborator Nico Beninato, with drummer Lyn Jeffs living close to Beninato’s studio in Mallorca and recording his drums there, while Sean Hynes recorded his guitars at home in the UK with the producer assisting remotely. Vocal tracking was interrupted by Jason Evans falling seriously ill when finally making it to Mallorca and was ultimately tracked back in Manchester. Bass was again supplied by Dominic Grimard (Ion Dissonance/The Last Felony).
Ingested succinctly encapsulate their existence, saying, “We’ve always been the underdogs, always fighting for scraps. Well, it’s time to get out of the fucking way, because now it’s our turn to eat at the table.”
You’ve. Been. Warned.

Mikael Sehlin has EVERYTHING it takes to join the AMARANTHE line up, and his versatility and musicality completes and underscores our vision for our new album and the general future for AMARANTHE perfectly. From the deepest guttural grunts to soaring screams Mikael is growling perfection incarnate, so please give a roaring welcome to the new star upon the AMARANTHE firmament!”

Nuclear Blast, the prominent heavy metal label, has recently made a groundbreaking announcement by acquiring the complete catalog of the legendary band TESTAMENT. As part of this significant development, TESTAMENT has also signed an exclusive three-album deal with Nuclear Blast. The official signing ceremony took place ahead of the band’s fiery performance at Hellfest over the weekend.
Fans of TESTAMENT can now rejoice as they will soon have access to the band’s iconic albums, including the revered classics “The Legacy” and “The New Order,” on their preferred digital streaming platforms. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in the longstanding partnership between TESTAMENT and Nuclear Blast as the band reclaims their six albums from Atlantic Records and entrusts them to Nuclear Blast for re-release.
Chuck Billy, the acclaimed vocalist of TESTAMENT, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Since joining forces with Nuclear Blast in 2008 for ‘The Formation of Damnation,’ we have enjoyed an incredible musical journey together. Now, we are taking it to the next level by retrieving our Atlantic catalog and placing it in the capable hands of Nuclear Blast. Additionally, we are thrilled to embark on a new three-album adventure with them. It’s an honor to be associated with the best heavy metal label in the world, one that will undoubtedly carry forth TESTAMENT’s powerful legacy.”
Eric Peterson, the mastermind behind TESTAMENT’s ferocious riffs, shared in the excitement, stating, “Our partnership with Nuclear Blast has been a perfect fit since we first signed with them in 2008. The return of our earlier catalog, which includes ‘The Legacy,’ ‘The New Order,’ ‘Practice What You Preach,’ ‘Souls of Black,’ ‘The Ritual,’ and ‘Low,’ brings a fresh new start for us. We are excited to witness Nuclear Blast’s re-release of these albums, complete with new artwork, photos, and additional surprises. Furthermore, the signing of a new three-album deal further solidifies our commitment to the label. The future of metal is looking incredibly bright, and we raise our glasses to that!”
Tommy Jones, Nuclear Blast U.S. Label Manager, shared his personal connection to TESTAMENT, reminiscing, “As a youngster, one of my most cherished guitars was a dark red Ibanez Saber (540S) with a wizard neck. I bought that guitar to channel the sounds of Alex Skolnick, who played the same model and color back in the day. Now, many years later, signing the original, genre-defining TESTAMENT albums that had such a profound impact on me, such as ‘The New Order,’ ‘Practice What You Preach,’ and ‘Souls of Black,’ to Nuclear Blast feels like coming full circle. It’s one of those ‘pinch-me’ moments where the 15-year-old me would be in awe. Together with Nuclear Blast, let us continue to honor and amplify ‘The Legacy’!”
