October 16th 2015 sees the release of the first part of a new narrative by ASP. For this album, Asp has turned “The flesh of many”, a haunting short story exclusively written for this compelling project by bestselling German author Kai Meyer, into a melodious horror tale. The album cycle “Fremd”, its current release “Maskenhaft” having peaked on the Media Control Charts at Number 2, will be continued after the completion of the second part of VERFALLEN. ASP ask a lot of their audience. And their fans love them for their poetry put to music. These songs come from Goth Rock, but there is also Metal, Drone-Doom, Chanson, Tango even held together and lovingly blackened by catchy, but never little, melodies. This is Gothic Novel Rock, versatile and haunting as ever, yet even more eclectic. Then there are the lyrics. Like in H.P. Lovecraft’s stories, the horror uncurls slowly, subtly, inescapably. Asp’s songwriting effortlessly balances suspense with coherence, grim and ghastly tales with the pure joy of stories well told.
Released mid-October 2015 on Trisol.
