****************************
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.

BLACK VEIL@ The Wellington Wellington St Leeds Sat 3rd October 2009

There will be a triple CD release party thanks to the excellent Shinto Records.
Copies of the following CD’s can be won
Verney 1826 – Nebelland
The German project Verney 1826 can be dated back to the year 1991. Influenced
from the beginning by classical music, the gothic tales of Mrs Shelley and the
beauty of long forgotten times. Music for the bleak hours of the night: Quiet,
dark, fragile.
OverThow Music States:
“Tolling bells, Gregorian chants, waves of soft synths, the sound of cavernous
drums…Verney 1826 places you in a thought provoking atmosphere with a chilling
sense of otherworldly presence. There is something almost spiritual about them
as rhythms and pulses form a tribal like incantation at times, while other
moments are stripped down to a minimalistic dream and lull you into a melancholy
haze.”
Scarlet Slipping – Hound
“Scarlet Slipping rests somewhere in the mists between shoegaze acts like La
Floa Maldita and Tearwave while retaining the cold and edgy strains of
depressive illusions ala Lycia.”
“In the cold and largely wild landscapes of Minnesota, it’s no surprise that a
chilling and animalistic album like Hound could be realized and unleashed upon
the world.”
“Musically, this album ranks amongst the best in the ethereal genre. It doesn’t
simply use effects as a disguise, rather, the music itself is the effect, and
the listener is the instrument, running the gauntlet of emotions expressed
throughout.”
Lunar Sea- Various
This release has to be the most dark and delicious Gothic sampler release of
exciting new bands in the scene so far in 2009. Shinto records is the most
exciting label to hit the scene since Strobelight records!!! -DJD

You will also be able to purchase tickets for only £10 for The Cruxshadows +
Zetigeist Zero gig @ the Cockpit on Sunday 29th November
BEYOND THE VEIL suspended
Beyond The Veil will not take place in 2010 as we have been unable to secure
a suitable and affordable headline act + the correct mix of bands for the
line-up to warrant spending 9 Months of our time dedicated to preparing and
putting on a totally self -funded independent festival.
We have have set a high standard for putting on new, exciting and exotic
international Gothic acts which has helped build up the reputation of BTV.
So rather than put together a mediocre and lacklustre line-up to the
detriment of the festival’s standing we have decided to suspend BTV.
