But there’s much more to it than that. Breaking the silence after 14 years with the 2014 EP release, STILL PATIENT? are now back with their first full-length album, harkening back strongly to the traditional musical beginnings of the band, all the while rejuvenating it with a modern production. 10 powerful, melodic and danceable songs, mixed with atmospheric sounds , merged with the unique style of STILL PATIENT? make SHAPE SHIFTERS a future milestone of the Dark Rock genre.

It’s not possible to imagine one dark music world without the gothic novel band ASP. For more than 15 years do the fans enjoy their songs, lyrics and the great voice of front singer Alexander Spreng. After great albums they changed their way of style in 2011. With new members in the crew they started a very own kind of music with albums like ‘Maskenhaft’ and ‘Per Aspera Ad Aspera’.

SAMSAS TRAUM have confronted us with extraordinary music and interesting texts for 19 years.
