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.

Und wir tanzten
Asp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Der Mond funkelte sanft in deinem Haar
Und es tut auch kaum mehr weh
Wenn ich alles vor mir seh
Als ob's letzte Nacht gewesen, sternenklar
Deine Haut und Stolz bleibt mir schon lang nicht mehr
Ich gäbe alles für ein Zaubermittel her
Länger als nur eine Nacht
Doch meine Arme und die Nächte bleiben leer
Nur dieses eine Mal noch schenk mir Kraft für einen neuen Tag
Ich stehe nackt und hilflos vor dem Morgen, nie war ich so stark
Nur einen Tag noch Kraft und ich reiß alle Mauern um mich ein
Nur wer sich öffnet für den Schmerz, lässt auch die Liebe mit hinein
Und wir tanzten im Schnee vergangenes Jahr
Der Mond funkelte sanft in deinem Haar
Und es tut auch kaum mehr weh
Wenn ich alles vor mir seh
Als ob's gestern war und nicht vergangnes Jahr
Will ich es greifen, ist es schon nicht mehr da
Niemand war mir jemals ferner und so nah
Nicht mal Stille sagt, wie tief
Wie ein ungeschickter Brief
Was zerbrach, als ich in deine Augen sah
Auch dieser Brief bleibt ungeschickt von mir
Das schönste Lied schrieb ich nicht auf Papier
Ich schrieb es in dein Gesicht
Mit den Fingern, siehst du nicht
Was mein Mund dir hinterließ?
Schau auf deine Haut und lies
Such, wo meine Zunge war
Such mein Lied in deinem Haar
Willst du mein Gefühl verstehen
Musst du dich in dir ansehen
Schließ die Augen und du siehst, ich bin in dir
Ich breite meine Arme aus, empfange dich, komm an mein Herz
Ich heile dich, lass einfach los und gib mir deinen ganzen Schmerz
Renn einfach weg, lauf vor mir fort, lebe dein Leben ohne mich
Wo immer du auch hingehst, wartet meine Liebe schon auf dich
Und wir tanzten im Schnee vergangenes Jahr
Der Mond funkelte sanft in deinem Haar
Und es tut auch kaum mehr weh
Wenn ich alles vor mir seh
Als ob's gestern war und nicht vergangnes Jahr
Und wir tanzten im Schnee vergangenes Jahr
Der Mond schien so sanft in deinem Haar
Wenn du mich nicht siehst, bin ich
Einfach nicht mehr wesentlich
Löse mich auf wie Schnee, vom vergangenen Jahr
ASP's song Und Wir Tanzten is a poignant depiction of the bittersweet memories of a past relationship. The song portrays a scene of the singer and their partner dancing in the snow, with the moonlight gently illuminating their moments. The lyrics convey a sense of longing, melancholy, and disappointment. The singer misses their former lover, but they know that the relationship has ended, and the memories no longer have the same emotional weight as they did before. The singer yearns for an intimate connection with their former partner and laments the fact that love may never come back to them again. The song suggests that sometimes the pain of lost love can persist, but with time, the memories may ease and feel like a distant dream.
The lyrics are powerful and cleverly written, making the listener empathize with the singer's plight. ASP's use of imagery, such as the moonlight on their partner's hair, emphasizes the beauty of the moment, while the use of snow reflects the fleeting nature of the relationship. The chorus "Und wir tanzten im Schnee vergangenes Jahr" (and we danced in the snow last year) is a poignant reminder of the happy moments they shared, but also the distance that now separates them.

Das erste Lied von ASP, dass ich hörte. Es berührt mich jedesmal wieder, ob live ob hier ob lautstark über Kopfhörer oder ganz leise nur in meinem Kopf. Immer und immer wieder.

Asp Konzerte hatten die beste Atmosphäre überhaupt, und die Menschen feiern einfach nur, gerade zu diesem Lied
@torstent8979
Die Tage wieder live und Saarbrücken gesehen, das Lied war mal wieder in der Setlist und noch genauso leidenschaftlich vorgetragen wie eh und je. Inklusive des genialen Gitarren-parts von Søren
@mori..
The most underrated rock band but also the best.
ich liebe ASP 🖤
