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 ↴
(Würd gern mit dir die Erde)
Und mit Rosenblättern blutrot färben
(Blutrot färben)
Und mit dir allein in den Garten wandeln gehn
(Und mit dir allein)
Bevor die Sommerblüten sterben.
(Sterben)
Wir gehen und ich nehm dich an der Hand
(Wir gehen und ich nehm dich)
Behüte dich in deinem Schlummer
(In deinem Schlummer)
Und ich bringe dir mein Herz als Opfer dar
(Und ich bringe dir)
Bewahr dich vor allem Kummer
(Vor allem Kummer)
Beide
Wieg, wieg, wieg, dich im Tanze
Komm und lass uns dich lehrn
Flieg, flieg, flieg, hab Vertrauen
Denn der Morgen ist fern
Morgenrot,
Wenn das Licht die Nacht bedroht
Denn im Traum allein
Kann ich bei dir sein
Und verflieg im Morgenrot
Du bist so wunderschön und ich kann kaum
(Du bist so wunderschön)
Ertragen wenn Du weinst
(Wenn du weinst)
Und es kann niemals eine Macht auf dieser Welt
(Und es kann niemals)
So stark wie diese Liebe sein
(Liebe sein)
Beide
Wieg, wieg, wieg, dich im Tanze
Komm und lass uns dich lehrn
Flieg, flieg, flieg, hab Vertrauen
Denn der Morgen ist fern
Morgenrot,
Wenn das Licht die Nacht bedroht
Denn im Traum allein
Kann ich bei dir sein
Und verflieg im Morgenrot
The lyrics to ASP's song Duett tell the story of two people completely in love with one another. The first verse expresses the desire to experience the world with this person, to walk together in the garden before the summer flowers die, to colour the world blood red with rose petals. The second verse is an expression of care, the desire to protect this person, to offer one's heart as a sacrifice and keep them away from harm. The chorus speaks of dancing, teaching, and trust, encouraging the listener to let go and trust in the love they share. The song then ends with a final expression of the strength of their love, the kind that can overcome anything in the world.
The lyrics paint a beautiful picture of love, dedication, and an unwavering desire to protect and care for another person. The repeated use of the phrase "wieg, wieg, wieg" in the chorus, which means "rock, rock, rock," adds to the feeling of being protected and held close, as if in a mother's arms. The phrase "Und verflieg im Morgenrot," which means "And disappear in the morning light," adds to the dreamlike quality of the song, as if they are in a trance-like state, wrapped up in their love, and nothing can disturb them.
Overall, the lyrics to ASP's Duett are a beautiful expression of love and the lengths one is willing to go to protect and care for the person they love. The imagery and dreamlike feeling of the song only serve to enhance the feeling of being wrapped up in a bubble of love.
