Without even the slightest currying of favour with the mainstream, ASP regularly achieve high positions in the Media Control Charts, Germanys official music charts. For a long time now, connoisseurs of challenging lyrics and profound rock music have noticed that extremely powerful compositions and soothing melodies are hidden behind the scary mask and often-alarming content. The new ASP album combines the playful beauty of ASP classics such as Weltunter with the earthy power of fremd. You will find hymnal heavy rockers as well as virtually soundtrack- esque, wave-like moments and echoes of epic dark rock operas. As opposed to the work of many other representatives of the somewhat darker scene, you can always clearly feel the self-mocking lyrical wink in the compositions, which does them a whole lot of good. Of course, ASP remain true to their roots, and the new album features many a spooky story, but to be quite clear: this album offers boundless fun! Once more, they are ASP to the core!
