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.

Raserei
Asp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So heiß brennt die Säure in mir
Weil es fast nicht mehr ins Gewicht fällt
Ob ich die Beherrschung verlier
Du bist, was man nie mehr vergisst
Du bist, was sich in mein Herz frisst
In meinem Kopf regieren Zorn und Wahn
Der Geist versklavt und ihnen Untertan
Ich kann mich nicht von dir befreien
Solang du bist, kann ich nicht sein
Raserei
In meinem Körper wütet ein Orkan
Ich fühle mich nicht und ich hör nicht
Weil dein Herz so schrecklich laut klopft
Verliere den Halt und ich schlag dich
Mir endlich, endlich aus dem Kopf
Ich kann mich nicht mehr konzentrieren
Ich will mich nicht in dir verlieren
Raserei
In meinem Kopf regieren Zorn und Wahn
Der Geist versklavt und ihnen Untertan
Ich kann mich nicht von dir befreien
Solang du bist, kann ich nicht sein
Raserei
In meinem Körper wütet ein Orkan
Wir ziehen uns an
Und stoßen uns ab
Wir ziehen uns an
Und stoßen uns ab
Raserei
In meinem Kopf regieren Zorn und Wahn
Der Geist versklavt und ihnen Untertan
Ich kann mich nicht von dir befreien
Solang du bist, kann ich nicht sein
Raserei
In meinem Körper wütet Raserei
Voll Schmerz die Agonie zerfrisst jedes Organ
Bin außer mir und neben mir und in mir ein Orkan
In meinem Kopf regieren Zorn und Wahn
In meinem Körper wütet ein Orkan
The lyrics of ASP's song "Raserei" are about an intense emotional and mental state of the singer, who is overwhelmed with feelings of anger, pain and obsession over someone they cannot forget. The lyrics depict vivid images of physical and emotional agony, as the singer struggles to control the overwhelming emotions that are taking over their mind and body. The lines "So rot kriecht es vor mein Gesichtsfeld" (It creeps red in front of my field of vision) and "So heiß brennt die Säure in mir" (The acid inside me burns so hot) give the listener a visual and visceral sense of the singer's emotional intensity.
The singer is consumed by thoughts of this person they cannot forget, who is both the source of their pain and the object of their obsession. They describe their mind and body as being in a state of chaos and turmoil, unable to concentrate or find peace. The line "Ich fühle mich nicht und ich hör nicht, weil dein Herz so schrecklich laut klopft" (I don't feel and I don't hear, because your heart beats so horribly loud) suggests that the singer's fixation on this person is so intense that it's blinding them to everything else around them.
The chorus repeats the word "Raserei," which translates to "fury" or "rage" in English. This adds to the overall tone of the song, conveying the singer's sense of being overwhelmed by their emotions, which are taking on a life of their own. The lines "Ich kann mich nicht von dir befreien, solang du bist, kann ich nicht sein" (I can't free myself from you, as long as you exist, I can't be) suggest that the singer feels trapped by their obsession, unable to move on until they can find a way to free themselves of it. "Raserei" is a powerful and dramatic portrayal of the torment that can come with being unable to let go of someone you love.
