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 ↴
Brot, Brot, Brot, gebt mir nur ein Stückchen Brot!
Die Felder liegen brach und mancher Hof ist abgebrannt.
Die Herren dürfen schlemmen, ich muss um Almosen flehen.
Brot, Brot, Brot, gebt mir nur ein Stückchen Brot!
Ich bin ein Wenden-Junge und muss barfuß betteln gehen.
Ich bin ein Wenden-Junge und muss barfuß betteln gehen.
Die Predigt von der Kanzel, sie stillt mir den Hunger nicht.
Brot, Brot, Brot, gebt mir nur ein Stückchen Brot!
Sie näht mir keinen Mantel und sie wärmt nicht mein Gesicht.
Ich bin noch nicht erlöst und zieh' nicht ein ins Paradies.
Brot, Brot, Brot, gebt mir nur ein Stückchen Brot!
Ich zieh nur übers Land, der Heimat fern, die ich verließ.
Ich zieh nur übers Land, der Heimat fern, die ich verließ.

The war is almost gone, yet the country is devastated.
Bread, bread, bread, give me just a piece of bread!
The fields are broke and some farm is burned.
The men may feast, I have to beg alms.
Bread, bread, bread, give me just a piece of bread!
I am a boy turning barefoot and must go begging.
I am a boy turning barefoot and must go begging.
The sermon from the pulpit, it soothes me not hungry.
Bread, bread, bread, give me just a piece of bread!
You do not sew my coat and it does not warm my face.
I am not yet redeemed and pull 'is not a paradise.
Bread, bread, bread, give me just a piece of bread!
I just pull over the country, away from home that I left.
I just pull over the country, away from home that I left.
The song Betteljunge by ASP talks about the difficulties faced by a young boy after the war has left his country devastated. The song starts with the singer talking about how the war has just ended, yet it has left their land completely ruined. The fields are lying barren, and many homes and farms have been burnt down leaving people with nothing. While the rich men can still enjoy their meals, the boy has to beg for a piece of bread. The boy talks about his name and how he is from Wendland and now he has to go barefoot to beg.
The boy is angry and frustrated at the situation that he is in. He talks about how the sermon from the pulpit does not take away his hunger, nor does it provide him with warmth. He is still a struggling boy who is trying to make ends meet. The boy ends by talking about how he has not yet found his paradise and is still wandering the land, away from his home that was destroyed by the war. The lyrics of the song showcase the pain and suffering of people who had to face the aftermath of war.

Kaum ein Album hat mir soviel Gänsehaut beschert. Habe das Buch damals (7te Klasse XD), schon sehr gemocht und fand das ASP das brilliant in Musik umgesetzt hat. Da stecken so viele Bilder in den Tönen, es ist als würde ich das Buch lesen.

Dem kann ich nur zustimmen. Schade, dass in 13 Jahren nur 11 Menschen diese Meinung teilen.

As a student who is still taking German, I don't understand much of the song yet, but looking at the translation into English versus what I understand in German, the song means a whole lot more and honestly sounds a whole lot better in German than it does English. It's almost as if portions of the German language can't be properly translated into English.
Echo Ohnearm
You have that in every language. Also even within one language, where you have dialects, you cannot translate some expressions properly. An example is a Bavarian expression, called "darennt" (used usually in "Der hat sich darennt!") "darennt" means "somebody got killed because he lost control over his vehicle due to high velocity and then crashed into something."

Ich mag das Lied *.* Passt zu Krabat und seinem Anfang.
Tobias Schlieker
Dieses Lied erinnert mich immer so an die Sage aus der Lausitz und das Buch Krabat von Ottfried Preussler. Finde alles in diesem Zusammenhang gut, nur der Film ist ein wenig zu kurz geraten, es fehlen mir wichtige Infos aus dem Buch und der beste Soundtrack für einen Film, der Krabatliederzyklus von ASP. Vllt denkt ja mal ein Regisseur daran den Stoff zsm mit ASP zu verfilmen.

Tobias Schlieker Es ist genau dieses Buch in musikalischer Form. Ich liebe beides.
