艺人介绍

ASP is a German rock band from Frankfurt am Main formed in 1999. The name is basically identical with the pseudonym of the Band's leader Asp (Alexander Spreng) and to be pronounced as one word(like the snake).

ASP were formed in 1999 by Alexander Frank Spreng (aka 'Asp') and Matthias Ambré (aka 'Matze'), producing their first 3-track demo CD later that year. The following year saw a record deal with Trisol, who released the bands debut album 'Hast Du mich vermisst?'("Have you missed me [very much]?"), as well as the bands first live performance, at the 'Gothicworld' festival having added Andreas Gross (aka 'Tossi') on bass, Oliver Himmighoffen (aka 'Himmi') on drums and a choir section to the line-up).

The following three years saw the release of two further albums 'Duett' and 'Weltunter', which, along with the debut, formed the album series 'Der Schwarze Schmetterling' ("The Black Butterfly"). ASP also became a popular live act over these years, regularly appearing at high profile festivals.[citation needed]

The band suffered some difficulty in 2004 with the bankruptcy of distributor EFA, though their albums were reissued later that year, along with the 'Interim Works Compendium', a 2CD collection of ASP rarities as well as selected tracks from their three albums to date. Another string of live dates took them through to the release of 'Aus der Tiefe' in May 2005, the fourth part of the 'Der Schwarze Schmetterling' series. The fifth part 'Requiembryo' followed in 2007.

The year 2008 saw the release of three new albums. First, a best of-album Horror Vacui was released in February. This was followed by a tour in Europe. At the end of August the band released Zaubererbruder - Der Krabat-Liederzyklus, an album based on the Sorbian Krabat legend (see, e.g., Krabat by Otfried Preußler). The live recording Akoasma is available since December 2008. They have also remixed Emilie Autumn's 'Liar', plus provided vocals for the mix. It is known as the 'Manic Depressive Mix' and is featured on Autumn's 'Liar/Dead Is The New Alive EP'.

The band has released their first DVD in August 2009, entitled Von Zaubererbrüdern.

In 2011 After almost 11 years of cooperation, separate the paths of the two founders of the band - songwriter and singer Alexander "Asp" Spreng and producer and guitarist Matthias Ambré.

ASP as the band will continue with new partners, the musicians Andreas Gross and Oliver Himmighoffen remain live band retained. The reasons for separation are given by official personal and professional differences.
