Metal fans, rejoice! It’s been a decade since Machine Head’s groundbreaking album Bloodstone & Diamonds shook the world with its electrifying sound and genre-defining tracks. To mark this milestone, a special 10-year anniversary edition is now available. Dive back into the powerful riffs, raw emotion, and sheer brilliance of this iconic album.
Carcass has long been a staple in the metal scene, and their album Surgical Steel is a testament to their legendary status. Packed with precision, intensity, and unforgettable tracks, this album is a must-have for metal enthusiasts. Get your copy today and relive the magic.
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

Today, the band has shared the video for “You’ll Never Learn” that was filmed at Bloodstock 2022 and Download Fest 2023 by Loki Films. Watch it here: You’ll Never Learn.
“You’ll Never Learn” is about the people you keep around in your life that continue to make the same mistakes without making a change. Chances and patience run out, people will only stick by you for so long. Keep those true to you close, and drop that dead weight.”We shot this video across our two performances at the UK festivals Bloodstock and Download, and Loki Films managed to capture the utter chaos that ensued. Crack open a tinnie, roll a joint, bang your head or do whatever you do and enjoy the carnage of ‘YOU’LL NEVER LEARN.'” Along with our brand new video, we are supremely buzzing to announce that we will be washing Europe and the UK in oceans of blood with our dear friends Lorna Shore, Rivers Of Nihil, and Distant this autumn! We can’t wait to get back out on the road and do what we do best, laying waste to every city that we touch! -Ingested

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.
