****************************
New ASP single will be released on 2nd October 2009.
For ten years now, ASP have maintained their hold in the ever-changing music business and have provided lovers of ambitious, superior-quality German-language music with one milestone after another. For a long time, their ..gothic novel rock' has been highly regarded across all scene boundaries and many of their releases demonstrate why fans today still want to acquire music in a physical format: because ASP present them with total works of art, both musically and visually.And so it is now, with the new ASP release.
..Wer Sonst?'/..Im Märchenland' is a 'double A side' single with two incredibly strong title tracks and a multitude of fantastic bonus material. In terms of its presentation, even the standard version surpasses the limited editions of so many other bands: eight audio tracks, a live video of one of the single songs and a twelve page booklet packaged in a six-panelled digipak which features two alternative covers – one on both the front and back of the digipak, representing each of the main single tracks.
For the limited deluxe special edition, ASP have once again thought up something quite special: instead of recording a video, the band from Frankfurt deliver a genuine comic book which is based on an original script from ASP mastermind AF Spreng and which is brilliantly realised by legendary illustrator Ingo Römling. A fantastic adventure to kick off a new comic series from AF Spreng, which is teeming with literary allusions and good-natured homages. An intelligent action adventure!
42-page comic book in the popular format of 17 x 25 cm (approx) Hardback High-grade art print on high-quality art paper Special matt lamination on all printed parts. Both the standard and the limited editions contain the single versions of the new anthems ..Wer Sonst?' and ..Im Märchenland'. For the former, you are treated to a duet with no less than Das letzte Einhorn from In Extremo!
Additionally, there are two grandiose cover versions of songs by Trio and The Cult, two remixes from Project Pitchfork and Clan of Xymox, the album version of ..Wer Sonst?' and an extravagantly produced live video recorded at the Blackfield Festival, where ASP demonstrated their strength when they headlined there a few months ago.
