A uniquely intensified blend of all essential elements which have made ASP what they are today: the most important German gothic rock project. Asp Spreng, singer, composer, lyricist and heart and mind behind the project takes the listener by the hand in the manner of a mysterious stranger and leads you into a dark kingdom without, however, allowing you to sink into hopelessness. As he searches for the shades of melancholy, Asp evokes a powerful spell which makes an enchanted as well as disturbing experience from the in part epically long pieces. The album wafts like a wisp of spectral fog from an English moor in Victorian times across the cold streets of today.Ltd.
