1) ASP is a German darkwave band from Frankfurt am Main formed in 1999. The name Asp is taken from the pseudonym of the band leader and is pronounced as one word (like the snake), but written in capital letters. They formed in 1999 by Alexander Frank Spreng and Matthias Ambré (a.k.a. "Matze"), producing their first 3-track demo CD later that year. In 2000, they signed a record deal with Tristol, who released the band's debut album Hast Du mich vermisst? as well as the band's first live performance, at the 'Gothicworld' festival.
Over the next few years, they released two more albums, and along with their debut album, formed the album series Der Schwarze Schmetterling. ASP continued to perform at high-profile festivals due to their growing popularity.
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 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. The live recording Akoasma - Horror Vacui Live became available in 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 the Liar/Dead Is The New Alive (Double Feature EP). The band released their first DVD in August 2009, entitled Von Zaubererbrüdern: Live & Unplugged.
In 2011, after almost 11 years of cooperation, the paths of the two founders of the band diverged - songwriter and singer Alexander "Asp" Spreng and producer and guitarist Matthias Ambré. ASP as a band continued with new partners, and the musicians Andreas Gross and Oliver Himmighoffen were retained for live performances. The reasons for separation are given officially as personal and professional differences.
One year later Oliver Himmighoffen also left the band. In his place Stefan Günther, who is a friend of Sören Jordan, joined the band. There are new festival dates in 2022, some in 2021 had to be cancelled due to the Corona epidemic, and they released a new Best Of compilation titled Reflexionen 1 and Reflexionen 2.

3) Asp is a thrash/hardcore/heavy metal band from Austin, Texas. Originating in 1999, Keith Palumbo (who worked at Waterloo Records and is a known drummer) had song titles, but nothing more. He met Chris Cline (an engineer and musician), but Chris moved back to his hometown and the project was put to the side until 2002. After spending some time in the studio working on music, Keith and Chris recruited Craig Moore for vocals who is known for his hardcore/grind/death/chaos metal vocal style. They finally had music to go with Keith's song titles, and their self-titled album was released in 2005 containing some very short songs (re-release on several streaming sites in 2021).

4) Asp, real name Berkay Köse, was born in 1997 in Ankara, Turkey. The artist had been influenced by rap music from an early age. Over time, his interest in songwriting grew and he wrote about street action and social critical themes. Blending the early lyrical spirit of rap music with modern industrial sounds, the artist strives to present songs that contain musically rich elements to the listeners with his recitation style that forms the basis of Anatolian Middle Eastern melodies.

The falling over
Watch them do
The standing still
Nothing but the knife to live for
One life all I need
Give me one good reason
(Women) And the women come and go
(Talk) Talking about me like they know
(Men) Bought and sold
And the world keeps turning
People cold
And people burning
Nothing but the knife to live for
One life all I need
Give me one good reason
Give me more ssss...

Hit up
Steel in hand
Lit up
Like candles
Burning
Like Catherine wheels
Turning

Nothing but the knife to live for

Amphetamine...
ASP's song "Amphetamine Logic" presents a raw depiction of the gritty reality of life, where people are either falling or standing still. The lyrics describe how people often have nothing but a knife to live for, and they need more reasons to keep striving for survival. The song urges the listener to contemplate the world they live in, where people come and go, talking about each other without truly knowing them. The verses depict how people are bought and sold in a world that keeps turning, leaving some cold and others burning.
The chorus is the highlight of the song, where the word "ssss" is repeated, representing the feeling of an adrenaline rush that keeps people going despite the challenging circumstances. The song title, "Amphetamine Logic," also alludes to this concept where people use drugs as a means of escape and to carry on despite the odds.
The second part of the song talks about how people are ready to fight with steel in hand, expressing an urge to keep moving forward, burning like a Catherine wheel, and not get consumed by the vast darkness around them. The final chorus repeats the previous themes, where people are looking for a reason to keep going, and the only thing they have is the knife to live for.
Overall, ASP's Amphetamine Logic is an intense portrayal of the human struggle, highlighting the need for a purpose to keep going despite the odds.

Great
@maat111
Very nice cover!
@bloodscience1
Sounds great to me. It's different the Sisters but I don't think ASP ever said he sounded like Eldritch if so someone let me know. Both Sisters and ASP sound good to me? I know I can't sing like either so can't complain to much.
