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.

ASP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ready for your nightly theft
Feel the flow and take my hand and lick me clean
Can't you see there's nothing left
We transfuse elixirs while we are seeking cure
Sins we never can atone
We confuse the mixtures never to be pure
Prickling scars and flickering stars
I wonder if we have gone too far
And if we both will ever see the light
Trickling kisses, licking, hisses
Maddening immortal bliss
Lasts only while the moon is shining bright
Sara
Oh Sara could it be love at first bite
Oh Sara, Sara can't you hear my song
I can't wait till we are united
You are the star to light my night
You make me dream of you the whole day long
Here we go again my lovely vampire queen
We change for better or for worse
I don't know or care as long as you're with me
Both a blessing and a curse
Hypnotizing lips and eyes
I'm sinking and the nighttime flies
Until at last the world stops turning round
Possessed by never lessening powers
I metamorphose while the hours
pass, and we are never broken down
Sara
Oh Sara could it be love at first bite
Oh Sara, Sara can't you hear my song
I can't wait till we are united
You are the star to light my night
You make me dream of you the whole day long
Total interpenetration and
Eternal circulation
Empty and recharge our battery
Delight in highest concentration
We achieve reincarnation
While we are in mortal agony
Appetite, no limitation
Girl you are my revelation
I will be you, love, and you will be me
Sara
Oh Sara could it be love at first bite
Oh Sara, Sara can't you hear my song
I can't wait till we are united
You are the star to light my night
You make me dream of you the whole day long
Sara
Oh Sara, Sara you're my shadowbride
You make me dream of you the whole day long
The lyrics of "Sara" by ASP are about a man who is deeply in love with a vampire queen, who is also his partner. The song is full of metaphors related to vampirism and the supernatural world. The singer is clearly drawn to the power and mystique of his lover, reflected in his admiration for her "hypnotizing lips and eyes" and his readiness to submit to her "empty and recharge our battery." The lyrics also touch upon the idea of eternal love and the idea that this dark and forbidden romance could be transcendent.
The central lines of the song are "Oh Sara could it be love at first bite / Oh Sara, Sara can't you hear my song / I can't wait till we are united / You are the star to light my night / You make me dream of you the whole day long." These lines reinforce the idea that the singer is completely obsessed with his partner and that they are deeply connected, possibly through some sort of supernatural bond. The lyrics have a sense of both darkness and intensity, which adds to the feeling of longing and desire for the singer's partner.
Overall, "Sara" is an intense and passionate song about a forbidden and supernatural love. The lyrics are highly metaphorical and the imagery is haunting and otherworldly. The song is an example of the sort of romanticism that is often associated with vampire stories, where love and obsession take on a dangerous and feral quality.

Here we go again my lovely vampire queen
Addressing his lover as a queen of his world, their eternal nature means that they have done this dance many times before
Ready for your nightly theft
Together, they steal the existence from their victims, adding to their own eternal life
Feel the flow and take my hand and lick me clean
He surrenders to her, and she takes him over, controlling every inch of him
Can't you see there's nothing left
There is no point to living forever, as all you're left with is a feeling of emptiness
We transfuse elixirs while we are seeking cure
As they travel a path to eternal life, they constantly seek that one magical thing that will make their existence feel worthwhile
Sins we never can atone
Living as they do is not normal, and they live outside of the same moral code
We confuse the mixtures never to be pure
They have found ways to make vampire life easier but it cannot reproduce the purity of a human being
So we'll never be alone
Their shared experience of immortality means that they will always have each other, no matter what
Prickling scars and flickering stars
Memories of battles from years gone by to the point where they are hard to differentiate from stars shining in the night sky
I wonder if we have gone too far
Questioning themselves about the choices they've made and the lives they've lived
And if we both will ever see the light
One day will they look upon their existence with the realization that life and death is precious no matter what kind of life it is?
Trickling kisses, licking, hisses
Vampire intimacy is a sensual and sensual experience filled with biting, passion, and sexiness.
Maddening immortal bliss
The feeling of immortality, while initially thought of as a blessing, is causing them to consider life without it as a more blissful experience
Lasts only while the moon is shining bright
Like the moon, their life, passion, and immortal existence wanes and waxes, and they must take every moment as it comes, lest it be gone forever.
Sara

Oh Sara could it be love at first bite
He is so in love with her, that he knew he was in love with her from the first moment they ever bit anyone

His love is never-ending and so intense, he can't help but sing of her across the rooftops
I can't wait till we are united

You are the star to light my night
She is his light in the dark, his eyes when he sees nothing.
You make me dream of you the whole day long
He cannot help but think of her, no matter what he is doing.
We change for better or for worse
As immortal beings, they change a lot, not just physically but emotionally too
I don't know or care as long as you're with me
No matter what happens during their life, he only knows that he wants her to be with him forever, through every kind of change
Both a blessing and a curse
Their love, life, and existence is a double-edged sword in so many ways
Hypnotizing lips and eyes
She controls him like he is in a trance, pulling him in with her beauty and gaze.
I'm sinking and the nighttime flies

Until at last the world stops turning round
Sometimes he and Sara are so at one with each other and the world disappears around them

Their lives are bound together in a complete and never-ending cycle
Empty and recharge our battery
They drain their energy sources and replenish them at the same frequency
Delight in highest concentration
They enjoy every moment of their existence, existent in a state of pure ecstasy.
We achieve reincarnation
It is as if they go through a cycle of deaths and rebirths without actually dying
While we are in mortal agony
As they live forever, they feel every emotion and feeling, so every moment is as painful as their first death
Appetite, no limitation
Their endless life is filled with an insatiable hunger for everything, food, sex, and blood
Girl you are my revelation
He sees in her an otherworldly and transcendent quality which has left him awestruck
I will be you, love, and you will be me

Sara, Sara you're my shadowbride
She is like his shadow, always there, always watching, always guiding him along.
