A new chapter for ASP – The essence of ‘gothic novel rock’
You almost get the feeling of having a sort of ‘best of’ in your hands. The new ASP album combines the playful charm of ASP classics such as ‘Aus der Tiefe’ with the earthy power of ‘fremd’. There are slow and heavy slabs of gothic rock as well as almost soundtrack-like sounds; combinations of metal riffs and delicate folk like moments.
In short, ASP have once again united all manner of gloomy, shimmering styles in such a way that best serves the narration, as if to form their very own ‘gothic novel rock’.
However, the emphasis lies on dark, driving rock which exudes an additional cool heaviness. In any case, you find yourself immediately longing to be able to experience these songs in a live setting.
