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.

5) Collaborative project of the French instrumental hip-hop ASP crew, consisting of akabrownsugar, Shitao and Pi-pol.

Imbecile Anthem
ASP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You're the master, we're your tools
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
You're the master, we're your tools
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
You're the master, we're your tools
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
You're the master, we're your tools
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
How can you ask whether I still love you?
You know there will be no answer as we know that I do
Some mistakes one never wants to learn from and he can't
Didn't you listen? Didn't you care? Don't you understand?
I've got a song for the fools
You're the master we are tools
For all the imbeciles
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
I've got a song for the fools
You're the master we are tools
For all the imbeciles
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
I didn't fall in love, it was love that fell on me
It just happend, you just happened hard and suddenly
Some mistakes one never wants to learn from and he can't
Didn't you listen? Didn't you care? Don't you understand?
I've got a song for the fools
You're the master we are tools
For all the imbeciles
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
I've got a song for the fools

We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
You're the master, we're your tools
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
You're the master, we're your tools
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
You're the master, we're your tools
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools
I've got a song for the fools
You're the master we are tools
For all the imbeciles
We follow your star, we are the ship of fools

ASP's "Imbecile Anthem" is a song that captures the notion of being controlled by a higher power or person. The lyrics suggest that the listeners are tools that the master manipulates at their will. The phrase "we follow your star, we are the ship of fools" paints a picture of individuals who are lost and searching for guidance, only to be led by someone who is not concerned about them personally. The idea of being an imbecile in the song can be interpreted as being naive or gullible, where the listeners are blindly following without understanding the consequences of their actions. The repeated chorus emphasizes this notion of subservience, where the master controls their thoughts and actions.
The second half of the song focuses on a particular narrative of falling in love with someone who is not receptive to the feelings. The singer acknowledges the mistake of falling in love with someone who does not reciprocate the same emotions. The lyrics "Didn't you listen? Didn't you care? Don't you understand?" showcases the singer's frustration with their unrequited feelings. This storyline can be interpreted as an analogy towards being controlled by the master. The singer is blindly following their heart, much like the listeners, and being controlled by something greater than they are.
Overall, the lyrics of "Imbecile Anthem" suggest a sense of hopelessness and a lack of control. The listener is being controlled by the master or being controlled by their emotions, leading to a state of subservience and regret.
