ASP - this name has been a symbol for highly entertaining releases of the
most successful German Gothic Rock band in recent years - in and also well
beyond the Gothic culture. Consequently, the time is more than ripe for a
Best-Of-CD which contains their greatest hits: "Horror Vacui". ASP's
unmistakable Gothic novel rock can always be regarded as a total work of art:
music, lyrics and images seem to be of equal importance. Thus every single album
including the Best-Of is part of major concept.
"Horror Vacui" refers to the fear of nothingness which results in the profound
human desire of trying to find a meaning in everything. The human spirit cannot
bear the idea of absolute emptiness and thus emptiness becomes an existential
nightmare, especially in the sense of spiritual emptiness. Therefore, the title
is part of a scheme and represents the musical search of ASP which culminated in
the latest album "Requiembryo".
"Horror Vacui" is a monument of Gothic Rock nobody can elude who is fond of
classics such as Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim, The Mission or their
modern heirs Rammstein and InExtremo. Those who have known ASP a bit longer,
have the chance to experience "old" material (33 songs on 2 CDs) in a new
context. The album was arranged by S. Schmetterling and Matthias Ambré
themselves, numerous songs were rerecorded and remixed and exclusive bonus
material was added. The sumptuous DigiBook is complemented by a 40-pages Booklet
including two breath-taking motives taken from "Weltunter" by Ingo Römling.
All in all one can say that the complete oeuvre ASP could not have culminated
any better - "Horror Vacui" has already become a milestone of its genre.
Released on Trisol.
