ASP

ASP: Goth Rock with meaningful lyrics that go straight into the heart and legs. For years now the band around singer and Mastermind Asp is an absolute insider's tip for concerts and that not only in the so-called “Schwarze Szene”. Audiences from 5 to 50 and from all possible groups of society can't resist this charismatic appearance. Asp is a magician that rivets the attention from the crowd from the very first moment and takes them on a journey into his own seething world of feelings. He manages that in small clubs as well as at the big festivals like 2005 at the “Bochum Total”, where ASP managed to stall the on-rushing masses and burned off a dark rock fireworks - never seen before - for over 10.000 people.

That is because the front man can rely on an energetic rock band that mostly concentrates itself on their musical qualities to give ASP the free space for his performance on stage. The live the positive spirit of the independent scene - the honesty - against all conventions of the profit-oriented music business and therefore entered the Media Control Charts even without the financial support of a major label. With their album ‘Aus der Tiefe’(2005) as well as with the single ‘Ich bin ein wahrer Satan’ (2006).

There's hardly any other band in this genre that could come up with so many hits regardless of their rather short existence always with the sense for the big powerful and catchy melody as well as the driving rhythmic structure. Whether it's the tragic ballad ‘Und wir tanzten’ or the Goth-Punk anthem ‘Ich will brennen’ that could be the sweat-inducing motto of the ASP live performance as well: “To the last breath”.
